LNG Terminal (Liquefied Natural Gas) Petrobras – Bahia / Google Source

The American offered for Petrobras' Bahia LNG terminal about 3 million reais per month, or a total of 92,142 million reais in 30 months

Petrobras took Excelerate Energy out of the bidding dispute for the lease of the liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal in Bahia, the TR-BA. The alleged reason was non-compliance with the notice. The North American was the only company to submit a proposal in this second attempt by Petrobras to lease the terminal.

Petrobras' bidding committee understood that the non-compliance with the invitation to bid regarding the tender for the LNG terminal in Bahia occurred in the inclusion of conditions in the price sheet presented in the commercial proposal, which was not provided for in the competition rules.

In the proposal, the North American had offered the payment of around 3 million reais per month, or a total of 92,142 million reais in 30 months.

Petrobras had already anticipated the problem in the bidding minutes for the LNG terminal in Bahia, "Petrobras will evaluate the information presented and will position itself through a circular", said the document.

Excelerate Energy has a charter contract with Petrobras

Headquartered in Texas (USA), Excelerate Energy supplies and operates floating LNG regasification units. In Brazil, the company has a charter contract with Petrobras for the FRSU Experience, installed at the Guanabara Bay terminal, in Rio de Janeiro.

Currently, the LNG terminal in Bahia (TR-BA) has authorized capacity to regasify 20 million m³/day of natural gas. Located in Baía de Todos os Santos, in Salvador, it is connected to the natural gas transport network.

The lease includes waterway infrastructure, a 45-kilometer gas pipeline departing from Salvador – Bahia, passing through the municipalities of São Francisco do Conde, Candeias and São Sebastião do Passé, in addition to utilities for the generation and supply of electricity located at the Madre de Deus Terminal. .

It is the second bidding process of the TR-BA. In the previous bidding, Petrobras ended up disqualifying the proposal presented by Golar Power, after having changed the company's Integrity Risk Degree (GRI).
