The Integrated Project Route 3 Will Provide Another Route for The Flow of Pre-Salt Natural Gas. This project includes The Construction of A Natural Gas Processing Unit (UPGN) at The GasLub Pole in Itaboraí, with a capacity to process up to 21 million m³ per day; and the construction of a 355 km gas pipeline connecting the pre-salt production units to the UPGN, being 307 km of marine stretch (already built) and 48 km of land stretch. Currently, Petrobras already has Routes 1 and 2 (respectively, Caraguatatuba – SP, and Cabiúnas – Macaé – RJ) to flow the gas produced in offshore fields.
The GasLub Pole Will Be Another Important Asset for Petrobras in Rio de Janeiro. Petrobras is present in various fronts in the state. From exploring oil fields off the fluminense coast in The Santos and Campos Basins, to The Duque de Caxias Refinery (Reduc), The Regasification Terminal of Guanabara Bay (LNG), and the thermoelectric plants Termorio, Termomacaé, Baixada Fluminense, and Seropédica in addition to the terminals operated by the subsidiary Transpetro (Campos Elíseos, Aquaviário Angra, Ilha D’Água, Triunfo, and Imbetiba).
In the coming years, the company plans significant investments in activities in Rio de Janeiro. Only in The Campos Basin, in the Northern Fluminense portion, US$13 billion are expected to be invested. Petrobras is sensitive to the demands of society and contributes to national development.
