Petrobras announced the disclosure stage of the sale of its remaining stake, 10%, in the Nova Transportadora do Sudeste (NTS) pipeline. The company continues with its asset sale plans. The drop in oil barrel prices is causing Petrobras to exit other sectors and focus solely on oil and gas exploration and production.

With a network 2,048 kilometers long, NTS’s system is centered around the southeastern network, connecting Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, and Minas Gerais.
