Sulgás Maintains Most Of The Contracted Capacity With TBG, Reducing Risks And Ensuring Flexibility In Portfolio Management.

The Sulgás, gas distributor from Rio Grande do Sul, has closed an agreement with Petrobras to transfer part of the contracted capacity in the Transportadora Brasileira Gasoduto Bolívia-Brasil (TBG) in the Gasbol. This partnership represents a milestone for the company, which sees the capacity transfer as an opportunity for resource optimization.

The Bolivia-Brazil Pipeline is essential for the supply of natural gas in the country, and Sulgás is committed to seeking innovative solutions in the sector. The partnership with Petrobras to cede part of the contracted capacity is an important step for the company, which aims to adapt to the new trends in the piped gas market. This agreement represents a significant advancement for Sulgás, which is committed to modernizing its operations.

The Advantage Of Portfolio Management In Gasbol

The main advantage for the concessionaire when hiring exit capacity directly is the freedom in portfolio management, allowing them to seek other suppliers of natural gas. However, this freedom comes with inherent risks, such as penalties, including the Unused Capacity Charge, which can impact tariffs.

The Strategy Of Sulgás In Gasbol

Thays Falcão, Executive Manager of Strategy at Sulgás, emphasizes that the cession of part of the contracted capacity does not signify a turnaround in the decision to hire capacity directly with the transporter. The company will still retain most of the contracted capacity in the Bolivia-Brazil Pipeline (Gasbol).

For the years 2024 and 2025, the Gaucho concessionaire will cede 270 thousand m3/day to Petrobras, equivalent to about 25% of the total contracted. For 2026 and 2027, Sulgás ceded 330 thousand m3/day, representing 20% of the total.

Long-Term Contract Negotiations

In the negotiations for long-term supply contracts with Petrobras in 2023, the concessionaire opted for a traditional model, in which the oil company is responsible for hiring the system’s entry and exit, assuming the operational risks and charging a postal tariff for it. According to Falcão, this model proved to be more advantageous, offering exit flexibility without losing operational security.

Adaptation To The Natural Gas Market

Falcão emphasizes that this adaptation movement is part of a learning process in the natural gas market, and that Sulgás maintains suppliers such as Petrobras and Galp. In addition, nine state distributors have annual contracts with transporters for capacity hiring in the interconnected gas pipeline network in 2024, including SCGás (SC) and MSGás (MS) in the TBG network, and Bahiagás (BA), Cegás (CE), Copergás (PE), ES Gás (ES), Potigás (RN), and Sergas (SE) in the Transportadora Associada de Gás (TAG) network.
