Petrobras Publishes Bid Notice for Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) Regasification Terminal in Bahia and Counts on Ten Companies Competing

Following Petrobras’ disinvestment policy, which aims to exit several segments of the gas market, the company announced this Monday (03), in a statement, that it has initiated the bidding process for leasing its liquefied natural gas (LNG) regasification terminal in Bahia.

The Companies Qualified by Petrobras:

Golar Power Latam Serviços Marítimos Ltda
Gás Natural do Brasil S.A.
Companhia de Gás da Bahia (Bahiagás)
Repsol LNG Holding S.A.
BP Energy do Brasil Ltda.
Compass Gás e Energia (Cosan)
Total Gás & Eletricidade do Brasil Ltda
Shell Brasil Petróleo Ltda
Excelerate Energy L.P
BG do Brasil Ltda

About the LNG Terminal in Bahia

The terminal in Bahia (TR-BA), an island-type pier with all facilities for berthing and mooring an FSRU (Floating Storage and Regasification Unit), has an associated gas pipeline that is 45 kilometers long.

The TR-BA has a maximum regasification capacity of 20 million cubic meters per day. The transfer of LNG is done directly between the FSRU and the supplier in a side-by-side configuration.

Transactions Occur Amid Discussions in Congress for Approval of the New Gas Law

The New Gas Law (PL 6.407/2013) establishes the authorization regime for new gas pipelines, offering greater freedom to investors, reducing the cost of cooking gas, benefiting the entire population, among other changes. With Petrobras’ exit as the dominant operator in the sector, the project aims to stimulate competitiveness.

The new natural gas framework is expected to attract around R$ 60 billion in investments for Brazil and has the capacity to generate 4 million jobs, including 15,000 jobs in Espírito Santo alone.

Transactions Occur Amid Discussions in Congress for Approval of the New Gas Law

With billions in loans, China is rebuilding Nigeria’s railway network from scratch, abandoning the British colonial tracks that have turned to scrap and creating a corridor of over 1,300 km to take the load off the roads of Africa’s largest economy.

China is building an artificial island in the middle of the sea, covering 20 km², to construct the largest offshore airport in the world, the Dalian Jinzhouwan. This $4.3 billion project is anchored on more than 3,000 pillars embedded in the rock beneath the ocean and is scheduled to open in 2035.

Forget petroleum-based asphalt: a Scottish company transforms 684,000 plastic bottles into one kilometer of road that is 60% more resistant and up to 10 times more durable, and the technology has already started replacing traditional asphalt in more than 30 countries.

Austrian engineers have developed an inflatable concrete technology that transforms flat slabs into domes using only air pressure, eliminating scaffolding and temporary forms, and potentially changing the way bridges, tunnels, and curved roofs are constructed worldwide.

A robot named Walter does the work of five bricklayers per hour and can save the construction industry, where the average age of professionals is 46 years and almost no one wants to learn the trade anymore, in the United Kingdom.

A British company has installed in the middle of the ocean the world’s first floating platform that generates electricity 24 hours a day from the temperature difference between the surface and the depths of the Atlantic, without relying on wind or sun.

Spain installs two giant pipelines 2.2 km off the coast to draw water from the Mediterranean and supply a megafacility capable of producing 200 million liters of drinking water per day.

How freelancers can organize their finances

China modernizes the oldest metro line in Mexico City, taking on the renovation of 18.83 km, 20 stations, new trains, signaling, and maintenance for 19 years in one of the most crowded systems in Latin America.

Goodbye steel rebar? Scientists create 3D-printed plastic reinforcement that “bites” into concrete, prevents corrosion, and could change beams, slabs, and bridges in civil construction.

Small, automatic, and reliable car for around R$ 50,000: Kia Picanto combines economy, structural safety, good internal quality, and durable mechanics, but tests show that it makes sense mainly for urban use and not for those who frequently drive on highways.

A Danish company has installed in the Canary Islands a pioneering system that uses the Atlantic waves to generate electricity and produce drinking water at the same time, without fossil fuels and without relying on sun or wind, addressing at once two of the greatest needs of isolated islands.

While Brazil sits on the pre-salt and still imports diesel, Turkey, which produces almost no oil, crossed half the world to drill 7,500 meters below the sea in Somalia in search of its own fuel.

Why didn’t oil reach $150 even after three months of the Strait of Hormuz being closed?

When drilling an artesian well, a farmer wanted water but found oil: ANP confirms that the dark liquid found by a farmer on a site in Ceará is crude oil.
