Petrobras Is Forced to Exit the Brazil-Bolivia Pipeline
On Monday, July 8, Petrobras stated that it would sell its stake in TBG as part of an agreement with Cade (Administrative Council for Economic Defense), which foresees a series of divestments from the oil company.
The agreement between the oil company and Cade is the reason for the opening process of the gas market. The government estimates that this deal will attract investments of up to R$ 32.8 billion in new pipelines and terminals by 2032 and reduce prices by up to 40% to stimulate industry and boost economic growth.
The Brazil-Bolivia pipeline is the main transport channel for gas in the country. It crosses Mato Grosso do Sul, São Paulo, Paraná, Santa Catarina, and Rio Grande do Sul, passing through 136 cities.
Through it, 30 million m3 of gas are delivered daily to seven local distributors. The pipeline also directly supplies thermoelectric plants and refineries along its route.
