据全球能源新闻网5月26日里约热内卢报道，根据能源研究公司(EPE)公布的统计数据，巴西用于运送产自盐下地层天然气的新管道可能需要20亿美元的投资。研究表明新管道将具有日输送1000万至1500万立方米天然气的能力，这个输送量是现有基础设施输送量的两倍以上。

目前，巴西只有两条主要管道把盐下远景区与巴西海岸连接起来：1号管道和2号管道，天然气日输送量分别为1000万立方米和1600万立方米。EPE说，1号管道把卢拉油田和Sapinhoa油田连接到Mexihao油田和Caraguatatuba天然气处理装置(SP)，而2号管道把桑托斯地区连接到位于马卡埃的Cabiunas天然气处理终端(RJ)。

此外，巴西时下正在最后确定3号管道，这条新管道将每天把产自桑托斯盆地油田群1800万立方米天然气输送到位于伊塔博莱的Comperj。这条管道的超浅延伸部分将由巴西国家石油公司(Petrobras)签署合同的麦克德莫特公司安装。

拟建的4号管道将连接桑托斯盆地南部和普拉亚格兰德(SP)，而5号管道和6号管道将把坎波斯盆地的资产分别连接到波尔图阿库(RJ)和波尔图中部(ES)。

5月21日，MME天然气主管西蒙娜·阿劳霍在巴西里约热内卢举行的CWC世界天然气系列会议上回忆说，盐下地区占巴西天然气产量的51%，巴西需要使这一额外的产量成为可能。

阿劳霍补充说，巴西石油监管机构巴西国家石油管理局（ANP）推行的永久供应地区制度为油田的发展提供了一种连续性的方案，从而确保巴西油气工业有更大的活力。

Brazil wants to double gas outflow from pre-salt formation

New routes to deliver the natural gas produced in the pre-salt could require $2 billion in investments, according to the Energy Research Company (EPE). The pipeline study would each have the capacity to transport between 10 MMcmd to 15 MMcmd, more than doubling the volume of existing infrastructure.

Currently, only two major pipelines connect the pre-salt to the Brazilian coast: Route 1 and Route 2, with a capacity between 10 MMcmd and 16 MMcmd, respectively. The first links the Lula and Sapinhoá fields to the pipeline between the Mexilh?o field and the Gas Processing Unit of Caraguatatuba (SP), while the second connects the Santos region to the Cabiúnas Gas Treatment Terminal in Macaé (RJ), according to EPE.

In addition, Route 3, which will deliver 18 MMcmd of the Santos Basin cluster to Comperj, in Itaboraí (RJ), is being finalized. The ultra shallow stretch of the pipeline is being installed by McDermott, contracted by Petrobras.

Route 4 would link the south of the Santos Basin to Praia Grande (SP), while the fifth and sixth pipelines would connect assets from the Campos Basin to the Porto A?u (RJ) and Porto Central (ES), respectively .

On Tuesday, May 21, MME Natural Gas Director Symone Araújo recalled during a presentation at the CWC World Gas Series in Rio de Janeiro that the pre-salt is responsible for 51% of the gas produced and this additional volume needs to be made viable.

The director added that the regime of permanent supply areas promoted by the ANP provides a scenario of continuity to the development of fields, ensuring greater dynamics to the industry.
