UPGN Works at the Gaslub Hub in Itaboraí Will Ensure the Flow of 21 Million m³/d of Natural Gas Produced in the Pre-Salt

Petrobras, in continuation of the statement released on 07/11/22, informs that it has terminated the contract with SPE Kerui-Método, responsible for the construction of the Natural Gas Processing Units (UPGN) at the Gaslub Hub in Itaboraí.

As a result of this, and in order to minimize the impact on the start of operations of the Integrated Project Rota 3, Petrobras has already begun the necessary contracting for the completion of the remaining scope of the UPGN and expects to start gas processing operations at the GasLub Hub in 2024.

“Petrobras clarifies that it has made every possible effort with SPE Kerui-Método to maintain the execution of the contract, but the negotiations were unsuccessful”, said the state-owned company in the statement.

UPGN Is Part of the Rota 3 Project Scope

For those who do not know, the entry of natural gas into the GasLub Hub occurs through the Guapimirim-Comperj I gas pipeline (Gaserj) and enables the start of operations of the utility systems, mainly the Steam Generation and Distribution Unit.

It is worth noting that the UPGN is part of the scope of the Rota 3 Project, which also involves the gas pipeline (composed of submarine and terrestrial segments) and the infrastructure for operation and control and the utility systems (steam, water, compressed air, power, and others).

The project will have the capacity to flow and process 21 million cubic meters per day of natural gas from the pre-salt hub of the Santos Basin. Together, Rota 3 and Routes 1 (UPGN Caraguatatuba/SP) and 2 (Cabiúnas Terminal/RJ) – the last two already in operation — will provide a total capacity to flow 44 million cubic meters of gas per day.

“More than a set of installations and processing units, we are dealing with a multipurpose project of great strategic value for Brazil, which will contribute to greater national energy security,” said the former president of Petrobras, Joaquim Silva e Luna. “The natural gas that arrives in Itaboraí allows us to envision a promising scenario for attracting petrochemicals, steel mills, fertilizer plants, glass and ceramics factories, among various other industries, that will form the dreamed GasLub Industrial Complex.”

Discovery in Africa scares even scientists: a study published on April 23 reveals that the crust in Turkana has become so thin that it could pave the way for the continent’s division and the emergence of an ocean in the future, in a gigantic geological transformation.

Japanese garbage collectors treat filthy trucks as if they were dealership cars, and the obsession with cleanliness is so absurd that they invented a washing machine that only exists for this type of vehicle.

Germany took 1,468 days to drill 9,101 meters of the Earth’s crust, faced temperatures of 265 degrees, crossed faults saturated by fluids under pressure, and revealed that the continental crust remains active, stressed, and permeable far beyond the limits that science considered possible.

In 1991, Brazil’s GDP was almost double India’s, and today it is little more than half: while India grew 6.5% per year and trained engineers, Brazil preferred to train lawyers, and now it is rushing to strengthen ties with the world’s fourth-largest economy.

The Brazilian city of the crooked buildings, which is being “swallowed” by the sea, receives more than R$ 20 million after a R$ 276.6 million package for 214 cities, with transfers of R$ 2.5 million per tourist resort.

magniX’s new electric motor promises 175 kW, weighs only 55 kg, and targets light training aircraft.

The Amazon begins to fail in silence: areas of the planet’s largest tropical forest emit more carbon than they absorb, lose resilience after extreme droughts, and transform the green that still seems intact into a climate warning before visible collapse.

Noroeste Paulista highways gain 19 new service points and expand free support for motorists since 2023

Brazil is experiencing two climates at the same time, with temperatures below zero in the South while the Central part of the country bakes at almost 37°C, and the turn of the month promises no relief for either side.
