Expanding Petrobras Infrastructure

The Integrated System of Gas Flow (SIE-BC) consists of a network of maritime and terrestrial pipelines owned by Petrobras, which connect to the Gas Treatment Unit of Cabiúnas (UTGCAB), also owned by Petrobras, located in Cabiúnas, Rio de Janeiro.

Thus, Petrobras complies with the Gas Law, negotiating access to infrastructure and enabling the diversification of agents across all links in the natural gas chain, the company reiterated.

Petrobras currently has infrastructure sharing contracts in the Santos Basin (SIE BS and SIP), in the Catu Polo (BA) and in the Cacimbas Polo (ES).

Increasing Petrobras Participation

Petrobras, also known as Petróleo Brasileiro S.A., is expanding its participation in the natural gas sector with the aim of strengthening its integrated system and ensuring the proper flow of gas throughout the country. The company is committed to promoting the diversification of agents and infrastructure sharing, seeking to optimize the natural gas chain.

Additionally, Petrobras is investing in the expansion of its maritime and terrestrial pipelines, aiming to increase its flow capacity and contribute to the efficiency of the system. The company reaffirms its commitment to the Gas Law and seeks to meet market demands in a sustainable and innovative manner.

New Opportunities in the Natural Gas Sector

With the expansion of its infrastructure and the consolidation of its sharing contracts, Petrobras is opening new opportunities for the diversification of agents and the integration of the natural gas market. The company is committed to promoting the sustainable development of the sector and ensuring equitable access to infrastructure, contributing to the country’s economic growth.

Through the modernization and expansion of its facilities, including the UTGCAB in Cabiúnas, Petrobras reaffirms its commitment to the natural gas sector, strengthening its position as a leader in the market and ensuring the continuous supply of gas to Brazil.
