Long-Term Agreement Strengthens Petrobras’ Role in Gas Supply for State Markets
Petrobras announced a new agreement with the São Paulo Gas Company (Comgás) estimated at R$ 56 billion. The gas supply agreement will be valid from January 2024 to December 2034. This is another strategic partnership for Petrobras, which in recent weeks has already closed contracts with other natural gas distributors, such as Copergás and SCGás, totaling significant investments in the sector.
Petrobras to Invest Over R$ 25 Billion in Gas Supply in Coming Years
Jean Paul Prates, president of Petrobras, highlighted the company’s commitment to supplying the natural gas market in Brazilian states. Petrobras expects to invest over R$ 25 billion in its own projects in this area in the coming years. Additionally, the company is offering more flexible agreements, with different term options and indexers, allowing distributors to choose the portfolio best suited to their needs for serving various market segments.
Comgás Expands Investments and Reinforces Partnership with Petrobras to Migrate Customers to the Free Gas Market
Antônio Simões, CEO of Comgás, emphasized the importance of natural gas as a strategic energy source for the state of São Paulo and for Brazil. Comgás is continuously investing in solutions to expand access to this energy, connecting more people and businesses.
