Three New Routes Will Have, Together, 515 Km of Pipelines and Will Serve for the Flow of Natural Gas Produced in the Pre-Salt of the Santos Basin

The Secretary of Oil and Gas of the Ministry of Mines and Energy, Márcio Félix, declared in Houston, during OTC 2019, that Petrobras is studying the construction of more pipeline networks, which will be called Route 4, 5, and 6.
The routes would help with the flow of natural gas produced in the Pre-Salt of the Santos Basin; currently, Petrobras has Route 1, 2, and 3.

The new pipelines have the capacity to flow up to 45 million m3 per day of natural gas, and according to the initial study, they would have a length of 515 Km.

The New Routes

According to the Secretary’s presentation, Route 4 will connect the production of the pre-salt to Praia Grande, on the coast of São Paulo, with a 275 km pipeline. The project would have a capacity to flow between 10 and 15 million m3 per day of natural gas and has been in the environmental licensing process since 2014, with COSAN (the parent company of Comgás, the natural gas distributor in the state of São Paulo) as responsible.

Route 5 is a pipeline that will connect the production of natural gas from the pre-salt to the Port of Açu, in northern Rio de Janeiro.
GNA (Gas Natural Açu) is building a natural gas hub with thermoelectric plants and LNG terminals. The branch would have the capacity to flow between 10 and 15 million m3 of natural gas per day and will have a length of 120 Km.

Last week, GNA received the first of three gas turbines in combined cycle for the UTE GNA I, the main equipment that will make up the power island of the thermoelectric plant.

Route 6 will connect the pre-salt production hub to the Porto Central, in the city of Presidente Kennedy, in Espírito Santo. The branch would also have a capacity to flow between 10 and 15 million m3 of natural gas per day and will have a length of 120 km.
The project in Espírito Santo is a joint venture between the Port of Rotterdam and TPK Logística and received a license from Ibama in August 2018.

The New Routes

Seen from space, an image taken by an astronaut shows an unlikely oasis in the Saudi Arabian desert, protected by a terrain that slows the advance of sand, surrounded by green circles, remnants of an extinct lake and nearly 10,000 years of preserved history.

While the U.S. still faces limitations in deep space, China is developing unprecedented technology with strategic satellites that maintain communication with the far side of the Moon and aims for dominance by 2030.

In Botswana, a salt flat of up to 16,000 km² that was once an African megalake spends months as an absolute white desert, but during the rainy season it transforms into a shallow sea that reappears from nowhere and can be seen from space in the middle of southern Africa.

The Blood Falls of Antarctica hide a living ecosystem trapped under the ice for over 2 million years, where microbes survive without light, without oxygen, and without ever having seen the Sun.

Bavarian archaeologists unearthed a medieval skeleton that had an articulated iron hand in place of its left arm, and the discovery reveals that doctors were already creating sophisticated prosthetics over 500 years ago.

The CEO of Honor in Spain says that smartphones will change with AI, foldables, and even robot phones; the component crisis is making cheap models more expensive in 2026 and shifting the focus to premium.

NASA announces the first interplanetary nuclear spacecraft in history destined for Mars and technology created to usher in a new era in deep space exploration: meet the SR-1 Freedom, equipped with a fission reactor and three helicopters inspired by Ingenuity to map Martian ice.

With 93 companies selling armored vehicles, aircraft, and monitoring systems to 148 countries, Brazil’s defense industry is doubling exports and is on track to break all records in 2026.

Brazil and Sweden finalize a military agreement to jointly train pilots, share experiences with the Gripen fighter, and allow Swedish crews of the KC-390 to train on Brazilian soil over the next two years.

Scientists warn that Earth’s oxygen has an expiration date and that the Sun itself will be responsible for ending the air we breathe by making photosynthesis impossible in about one billion years.

Science reveals that the error in the expansion of the cosmos is not a measurement flaw, but rather a sign that the universe may be hiding new physics capable of changing everything we know.
