Comperj: Petrobras Adopts Testing for Covid-19 for More Than 4,000 Workers on GasLub Works in Itaboraí – RJ

Petrobras informed in a relevant fact that more than 4,000 professionals at the GasLub works at Comperj, Itaboraí, in Rio de Janeiro, were tested for Covid-19.

According to Petrobras, “the increase in activities at Comperj, where the construction of the Rota 3 gas pipeline and the natural gas processing unit (UPGN) and its utility systems (steam, cooling water, etc.) are underway, occurred after the municipal government decided to authorize the increase of the workforce on the GasLub sites to 65% of the total that was operating before the pandemic, as previously requested by the contracting companies.”

The state company states that given the situation, the work schedule will be reassessed, as approximately 2,100 workers remain temporarily away from local activities, which represents 35% of the workforce that was previously mobilized.

The Integrated Project Rota 3 will provide the third flow route for natural gas from the pre-salt. The project consists of the Natural Gas Processing Unit (UPGN) that will have the capacity to process up to 21 million m³ per day. In addition to the UPGN, the project includes the construction of a gas pipeline with approximately 355 km of total length, with 307 km being marine section – already constructed – and 48 km being land section, which is under construction, and will transport the natural gas from the Pre-Salt Pole of the Santos Basin to the UPGN.
