On January 1, 2025, a strategic agreement was signed between Petrobras and PRIO and came into force, marking the cooperation between both companies for the transportation and processing of natural gas between both companies.
The agreements between Petrobras and PRIO
This agreement will allow PRIO to access the Integrated Natural Gas Collection System ( SIE-BC ) and the Cabiúnas Gas Treatment Unit ( UTGCAB ), which will allow it to process natural gas from the Frade and Albacora Leste fields, located in the strategic Bacia de Campos.
This collaboration is part of Petrobras ‘ efforts to comply with the provisions of the Gas Law , which seeks to strengthen a competitive and diverse energy market. According to Mauricio Tolmasquim, director of Energy Transition and Sustainability at Petrobras, this type of agreement contributes to the development of a more accessible natural gas market for multiple industry players.
Under this agreement, PRIO will be able to use the pipeline infrastructure and treatment stations belonging to Petrobras , which will allow it to optimize the distribution of gas from its Frade ( 100% stake ) and Albacora Leste ( 90% stake ) fields. In addition to PRIO, Petrobras has signed similar agreements with nine other producers in different Brazilian basins, consolidating its role as a facilitator in the natural gas sector.
