The Competitors
Petrobras will have six strong competitors in the battle for distribution in the Central-South region in the coming years. In the case of the bids from MSGás, Gas Brasiliano, Sulgás, and Compagas, Petrobras will be accompanied by Shell, Total, and the Bolivian YPFB, who have progressed to the third phase.
Regarding the Sulgás bidding, the three companies along with Petrobras will be joined by the Spanish Repsol and Golar Power, specialized in LNG.
As for Gas Brasiliano, the one that moved to the third phase was Cocal Energia, aiming to supply biomethane.
It is worth remembering that the government launched the new gas market program and expects, along with Petrobras, many external investments in distribution.
