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

A village with 115 inhabitants wants new residents: it offers a house, a job, up to 44 thousand euros in benefits, almost free rent, an annual grant of 8 thousand euros for 3 years, and a 20 thousand euro incentive for businesses in the mountains of Italy.

NASA is offering US$ 750,000 to people from anywhere in the world who solve a problem that could decide survival on Mars: creating food for astronauts without relying on resupply from Earth.

New microwave that can replace three appliances hits the market: Sharp launches 3-in-1 model that combines air fryer, convection oven, and heating in 0.9 cubic feet for small kitchens

Elon Musk’s internet comes to mobile: Starlink technology connects smartphones without an antenna via satellite, works even without carrier signal, already costs just US$10 extra in the US, and could arrive in Brazil as an included benefit.

With an 88-meter wingspan, a capacity of 250 tons, six engines, and 32 wheels, the Ukrainian giant became the greatest symbol of extreme air transport and one of the most impressive machines in aviation history.

The United Kingdom removed approximately 1.8 million cubic meters of sand from the seabed and is depositing it all on 6 kilometers of beaches in Norfolk, in a mega-operation to curb erosion, protect coastal villages, and shield a vital gas terminal against the encroaching Atlantic.

Magalu has a clearance sale on JBL Boombox 4 with 210W of power, 34-hour battery, and 3-way system.

The Joinville Bridge, the municipality’s main mobility project, will have a 160-meter central span over Babitonga Bay without a pillar in the river’s course.

Rubens Ometto transformed sugarcane into ethanol, became a billionaire, took Cosan from Shell gas stations to iron ore by buying a port in Maranhão for R$ 720 million, and built a vertical farm that few associated with the Brazilian energy and logistics empire.

Researchers from USP plan to use artificial intelligence and nuclear technology to track the origin of meat, wood, and soy, to combat fraud in rural areas.

It took us 30 years to confirm 6,000 exoplanets, but a single project using the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite has already found over 10,000 candidates in just one year by analyzing 83 million stars with artificial intelligence.

Scientists create a water-based battery with ingredients from tofu brine, make the system withstand 120,000 cycles, and spark expectation for storing clean energy for much longer.
