Transpetro Gas Pipeline Operations In Heart Of Brazilian Amazon Rainforest

摘要

Transpetro, a company 100% owned by Petrobras, is the largest logistics and transportation company in Latin America for the oil and liquid byproducts segment, and the national leader of natural gas transportation and processing. It is present in more than 200 cities and every Brazilian region. The company stores and transports oil, byproducts, biofuels and natural gas to the farthest locations of Brazil. Transpetro is also considered the largest natural gas processor in Brazil. Now it is being structured to receive Brazilian oil and gas from the future pre-salt production. This is its new challenge. The pipeline network is operated and controlled around the clock from the National Center for Operational Control (CNCO) at Transpetro's Headquarters in Rio de Janeiro. It uses the latest generation computers and technology in telecommunications. In 2011, P&GJ spoke to Marcelo Renno, Natural Gas Director of Transpetro, for an overview about its activities in Brazil. Now, Renno brings detailed information on pipeline operations in the heart of the Brazilian Amazon rainforest, four years after they began.
