Petrobras proposes Brazil-Venezuela super gas pipeline
Brazilian oil state giant Petrobrás submitted to the
government a blueprint to lay out a "super gas pipeline" of
more than 8,000 kilometers, able to carry 150 million cubic
meters of Venezuelan natural gas to Brazil, the Brazilian
press reported.
According to San Paolo newspaper O Estado, Eulogio Delphino,
a proposal to supply gas to Brazil came this year from a manager
of state oil holding Petróleos de Venezuela (Pdvsa) to
Petrobrás Gas and Energy Director Ildo Sauer, DPA reported.
"At the beginning, then Minister of Mines and Energy and
now Senior Minister of the President's Civil Cabinet Dilma
Rouseff was not very convinced about the idea, and supported
instead transportation of Peruvian gas as part of a project
called "The gas ring," the daily said.
According to the newspaper, Petrobrás technicians think
that the fuel could be marketed at competitive prices in Brazil
-around USD 2.60 / million of BTU, against USD 3.60 for the
Bolivian gas.
