Vast Infrastructure announced on March 6, 2025, the signing of a new contract with PetroChina for oil transshipment operations. The agreement, which will be executed at the T-Oil terminal located at the Port of Açu in São João da Barra (RJ), marks an important milestone in the company’s operations. This contract is the third signed by Vast in 2025, demonstrating the company’s continuous growth and market confidence.
T-Oil Terminal and Expansion of Vast’s Operations
Vast Infrastructure has stood out in oil handling operations, especially at the T-Oil terminal.
This terminal, which belongs to the company, is one of the main points for oil transshipment in Brazil. With the capacity to handle up to 1.2 million barrels of oil per day, the T-Oil terminal has been fundamental to Vast’s operational success.
-
Brazil’s oil production soars and hits an all-time high for the second consecutive month, driven by the pre-salt and the advancement of energy sector giants.
-
Oil price falls even with Trump’s threats to Iran and rising geopolitical tensions in the Middle East impacting global market expectations.
-
China discovers more than 200 new oil and gas fields in the last five years
-
Petrobrás indicates a strong first quarter in 2026 with high production, robust cash generation, and an expectation of up to $2.4 billion in dividends for shareholders.
The contract with PetroChina is proof that the company has established itself as one of the main options for oil transshipment operations in the country.
New Contracts and Growth of Operations
In addition to the contract with PetroChina, Vast also renewed other important contracts, including the one with Shell, which was extended for another two years.
CNOOC, another major partner of Vast, extended its contract with the company for another three years, demonstrating the industry’s continued confidence in its oil transshipment operations.
These renewed contracts, combined with the new agreement with PetroChina, highlight Vast’s leadership position in oil handling operations in Brazil.
The Strategic Importance of the T-Oil Terminal and Partnerships in the Oil Sector
The T-Oil terminal is located in a strategic area, close to the producing fields of the Campos and Santos basins.
The proximity to these basins facilitates oil transshipment operations, making the terminal a favorable option for companies looking to move large volumes of oil efficiently and safely.
The terminal’s ability to operate with VLCC (Very Large Crude Carrier) vessels is also an important differentiator for Vast’s operations.
Organization’s Commitment
PetroChina, one of the largest energy companies in the world, chose Vast to carry out oil transshipment operations due to the company’s experience in the sector and the quality of its operations.
The contract between the two companies reflects the trust that PetroChina places in Vast and its T-Oil terminal.
Vast, in turn, is committed to continuing to provide high-quality oil transshipment services, always focusing on safety and efficiency.
In addition to its contract with PetroChina, Vast maintains partnerships with other major industry players, such as BW Energy, Equinor, Galp, Petrobras, Petronas, PRIO, Repsol, and TotalEnergies.
These partnerships are proof of the success of Vast’s operations and its reputation in the oil handling sector.
