Some ventures and works of Petrobras are running at full steam despite the pandemic. An example of one of them is the construction of the Rota 3 gas pipeline from Comperj, which will transport the production from the pre-salt, starting from the Lula Norte Field through underwater pipelines and continuing to Maricá – Itaboraí, until it reaches UPGN (Natural Gas Processing Unit).

The video below (2019-2020) refers to part of the construction of dimensional / directional drillings located in Itaboraí-RJ. The directional drilling gas pipeline is done with the aim of drilling the underground horizontally. Currently, the works of gas pipelines in medium and large cities have increased. For this reason, it is necessary to find a company that carries out the work safely and within the established deadlines.

Petrobras Discontinues Oil Production Through Comperj and Will Focus on Gas Only

In December 2019, Petrobras definitively concluded that Comperj would not be economically attractive, both for itself and for the Chinese CNPC. The options so far include interlinking to Reduc (Duque de Caxias Refinery) or constructing a thermoelectric plant. The president of the state-owned company assured that the city of Itaboraí would not “be left behind” and that, one way or another, the project will generate jobs and economic sustainability for the region.
