The Greater the Lack of Infrastructure in the Sector, the Higher the Volume of Natural Gas Reinjected into Oil Wells, Says Bulletin from the Ministry of Mines and Energy

The Monthly Monitoring Bulletin of the Natural Gas Industry from the MME released in April pointed out a concerning fact: from 2006 to April 2020, the country reinjected 101.3 billion m³ of natural gas into oil wells, which means 56 million m³ of natural gas reinjected daily, accounting for 45% of total national production.

Just to give an idea, the volume is higher than the daily supply of gas to the market, which is 45.6 million m³. The main reason, according to specialists, is the lack of infrastructure in pipelines and processing terminals, which prevents this volume, mostly sourced from the pre-salt, from reaching the market on the Brazilian coast.

According to the government, the price of energy for the industry could drop by 40% in about 2 years; however, this decrease has not reached consumers, although government officials claim that work is in progress, as stated by the Director of the Natural Gas Department of the Ministry of Mines and Energy, Symone Christine de Santana Araujo, “The opening of the market and the reform of the legal and regulatory frameworks, underway, will provide a more favorable business environment for investments and competition.”

Petrobras has already stated in a note the actions it has taken to contribute to increasing the competitiveness of the sector.
“Several gas transportation assets owned or in which the company has a stake are for sale, the process of leasing the LNG Regasification Terminal in Bahia, and negotiations for other companies to access its natural gas processing plants. We have also reduced the volume of gas contracted with YPFB in the Bolivia-Brazil pipeline. This allows the excess volume of natural gas to be marketed directly by YPFB with other market players in Brazil.”
