In addition to the 10% stake held by Petrobras, NTS’s other partners are Brookfield Brasil, with 82.35% through the Nova Infraestrutura fund, and Itaúsa, with 7.65%.
The oil company stated that the operation is aligned with portfolio optimization and better capital allocation. Petrobras has been driving divestments lately with the aim of reducing its debt and focusing on oil production and exploration in deep and ultra-deep waters.
The company had begun the process of selling the 10% stake in NTS at the end of March. In 2017, the state-owned company sold 90% of its stake in the transporter for over 5 billion dollars.
NTS is a natural gas transporter with pipelines in São Paulo, Minas Gerais, and Rio de Janeiro and connections to a number of facilities, including the Brazil-Bolivia gas pipeline and TAG, according to Petrobras. The transportation capacity is 158.2 million cubic meters per day.
The other partners of NTS are the Nova Infraestrutura Investment Fund, an investment fund managed by Brookfield Brasil Asset Management Investimentos Ltda, with an 82.35% equity stake, and Itaúsa with a 7.65% equity stake.
