Project Receives Environmental License from Inema in Bahia, Natural Gas Production in Recôncavo and Sales Expected to Start in January 2020
With a two-month delay, Alvopetro has received the environmental licenses from the Institute of Environment and Water Resources (INEMA) of Bahia and can now begin construction of the Caburé gas pipeline and UPGN facilities.
The information was released yesterday, on Friday (05/10), by the company along with the statement that the delay in issuing the licenses caused a two-month setback in the construction of the project.
The project consists of an 11 km gas pipeline in Caburé, in the Recôncavo basin, which will transport the production from the field to a natural gas processing unit (UPGN), which is the responsibility of the construction company Enerflex.
