Petrobras Announces 8.1% Reduction in Natural Gas Price

Petrobras announced on Monday (17) a new reduction in the price of natural gas for distributors, which will take effect from May 1. The 8.1% drop in the product’s price is related to the moving quarter of February, March, and April, during which the price of Brent crude oil, a reference in the international market, decreased by 8.7%.

Despite this, there was a slight currency depreciation of 1.1%. With this new adjustment, Petrobras has accumulated a 19% reduction in the price of gas in 2023.

Federal Government Studies Expansion of Pipelines and Natural Gas Production in the Country

The federal government is analyzing the possibility of using pre-salt resources to finance the expansion of pipelines and increase the supply of natural gas in the national territory. The president of Petrobras, Jean Paul Prates, commented on the price reduction during an event at the Federation of Industries of the State of São Paulo (Fiesp):

Impact of the Reduction on the Market and Comparison with Other Fuels

Since taking over as president of Petrobras in January, Jean Paul Prates has already promoted average reductions in natural gas prices of about 20%. By May 1, the price will be 20% lower than in January.

Valecard, a consulting firm that works with 25,000 commercial establishments across Brazil, reported that last week the average price of gasoline rose by 0.18%, reaching R$ 5.735; hydrated ethanol also saw an increase of 0.63%; and only the S10 diesel, with a 10% biodiesel blend, recorded a decrease of 0.25%.

The reduction in the price of natural gas and the Federal Government’s efforts to expand the production and supply of this product in the country can bring economic and environmental benefits. In addition, the expansion of the pipeline network can contribute to the development of new markets and the diversification of the Brazilian energy matrix.

With these measures, the Federal Government and Petrobras demonstrate a commitment to promote the competitiveness of the sector and ensure access to natural gas at more affordable prices for the population and industry.

While in Brazil a 10-story building takes 2 years to complete, in China a company stacks pre-fabricated modules and raises the entire building in just 28 hours and 45 minutes.

The oldest tree in the world, alive since before the birth of Jesus Christ, is cut down in a scientific study and the case changes environmental preservation rules.

An entire island in the Pacific wants to surround itself with a colossal barrier against the ocean to try to escape increasingly violent waves and not be swallowed by the sea in the coming decades.

After ten days orbiting the Moon, science confirms that the astronauts of the Artemis II mission return with altered bodies.

With 7.4 trillion tons of artificial snow pumped in 10 years, an extreme operation could stabilize the West Antarctic ice sheet and prevent a sea level rise of more than 3 meters, but it would require snow cannons, ocean water, and energy on an almost industrial scale at the end of the world.

Peru built a tunnel at an altitude of 4,738 meters cutting through the Andes Mountains, and the road leading to it reaches 4,818 meters, making it the highest paved road in the entire world.

In the Saudi Arabian desert, the world’s largest green hydrogen plant is 80% complete and will use 4 gigawatts of solar and wind energy to produce 600 tons of clean fuel per day when it opens in 2027.

With US$ 4 million in 2019, the scientist halts research on mirrored life after a biosafety alert and a report in Science points to the risk of bacteria immune to defenses and antibiotics.

In China, the traffic light not only controls traffic, it identifies your face, predicts violations before the intersection, and can issue fines in seconds while exposing the driver on public screens.

The city that grew around steel produces millions of tons per year, operates with 3 industrial bases, and remains one of the strongest gears in Brazilian steelmaking.

92.62% completed, 519 km of tracks already installed, 41 tunnels excavated, and ongoing tests put the Chinese railway project of $10.63 billion in Malaysia just a few months away from starting operations and transforming the logistical axis between the two coasts of the country.

The government will pay R$ 1.20 for each liter of diesel that Brazil imports and for the first time in history requires distributors to reveal how much they profit — those who hide their margins will face fines of up to R$ 500 million…

Under kilometers of water, rock, and salt, Brazil hides a colossal wealth that led an official guide from the U.S. government to recognize the country as the owner of the largest ultra-deep oil reserves in the world.

Iran said that the Strait of Hormuz is open, but in practice only 1 non-Iranian oil tanker managed to cross in 24 hours — before the blockade, 100 ships passed per day.

Petrobras completes 1,300 hours of work and 15 km of subsea lines to connect the Búzios 90 well to the P-79 — the platform is ready to produce 180,000 barrels per day and is just awaiting ANP approval.

Iran declares the Strait of Hormuz completely open this Friday, and the price of oil plummets nearly 10% in a few hours — the largest drop since the beginning of the conflict.
