This morning (09/10), Petrobras, the Government of the State of Rio de Janeiro, the municipality of Itaboraí, and the Federation of Industries of Rio de Janeiro (Firjan) signed a protocol of intentions for the industrial development of the region around the GasLub Hub in Itaboraí.

Vinicius Farah, Secretary of Economic Development of the State of Rio, revealed to O Globo newspaper that the initiative is expected to generate around 11,000 jobs, with the arrival of new industries for the project, which will have gas sourced from the pre-salt fields.

The Protocol of Intentions Between Petrobras and the Government of Rio de Janeiro

The objective of the protocol between Petrobras and the government of Rio de Janeiro is to create conditions for the establishment of an industrial hub suitable for attracting companies that can utilize the infrastructure and available inputs in the GasLub Hub in Itaboraí. Through mutual cooperation, the initiative aims to develop studies and exchange the necessary data and information for the development of job and income opportunities in the region.

Petrobras President Joaquim Silva e Luna said, “The result of this strong presence of Petrobras translated into a contribution of 70 billion reais in royalty and ICMS collection for the State in the last five years.”

“In 2020, even during the pandemic period, we maintained our high delivery standards. There were 26 billion reais in contracts with over 2,600 companies in the region; 70% of our investments in R&D are allocated to executed projects. Additionally, we invested 46 million reais in socio-environmental projects.”

The GasLub Project of Petrobras

The GasLub Hub will be another important asset for Petrobras in Rio de Janeiro. Petrobras is present in several fronts in the state. From the exploration of oil fields off the coast of Rio de Janeiro in the Santos and Campos Basins, to the Duque de Caxias Refinery (Reduc), the Regasification Terminal of Guanabara Bay (GNL), and power plants Termorio, Termomacaé, Baixada Fluminense, and Seropédica, in addition to terminals operated by its 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 part of Fluminense, US$13 billion is expected to be invested. Petrobras is sensitive to the demands of society and contributes to national development.

Generation of New Jobs in Rio de Janeiro

The Governor of Rio, Cláudio Castro, said that he intends to start bidding for works, such as roads, as soon as possible so that “next year it will be functioning and producing jobs in Itaboraí.” “The goal is to enable the economic recovery in the oil and gas sector in Rio. We need to maximize our natural wealth, generating jobs and income for the population,” explained Castro.

The Minister of Mines and Energy, Bento Albuquerque, highlighted the creation of a new gas market, which will allow for price reductions. This will be possible with the arrival of new companies to the segment through the sale of Petrobras’ assets. “Rio, as one of the main players in this industry, can also be one of the main beneficiaries of its growth.”
