According to Engie, the transaction was valued at 1 billion reais (US$ 187.5 million), following the sale of US$ 8.6 billion last year by Petrobras of the other 90% of TAG to the same group.

In a statement, Petrobras informed that the agreement is aligned with its strategy of “portfolio optimization,” improving its capital allocation and maximizing value for shareholders.

Earlier this month in July, Petrobras initiated the binding phase of the sale process of its remaining 10% stake in the Southeast Transporter (NTS).

The company had started the sale process of the 10% stake in NTS at the end of March. In 2017, the state-owned company sold a 90% stake in the transporter for over 5 billion dollars.

The 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 pipeline and TAG, according to Petrobras. The transportation capacity is 158.2 million cubic meters per day.
