Brazil Reinforces Pipeline Network Amid Rising Pre-Salt Gas and Falling Bolivian Imports
Brazil is upgrading its pipeline infrastructure to handle the surge in pre-salt gas production while addressing a decline in Bolivian imports. Key projects include a $150 million compressor station and a $65 million LNG entry point, along with initiatives to enhance capacity in the Sergipe-Alagoas Basin and duplicate the Nordestao pipeline. Additionally, efforts are underway to optimize existing systems and propose a new $1.7 billion pipeline from Argentina.

Brazil is enhancing its pipeline infrastructure to accommodate increasing pre-salt gas and declining Bolivian imports. TAG, the gas transmission operator, plans to improve capacity with projects including a $150 million compressor station and a $65 million LNG entry point from Eneva.
The SEAP development in the Sergipe-Alagoas Basin aims to bring 10 MMcmd by 2030, while the Veredas project will add 4 MMcmd capacity by duplicating the Nordestao pipeline. NTS is also working on projects to mitigate the impact of falling Bolivian imports, including the Corredor Pré-Sal Sul and GASINF. TBG seeks to optimize existing infrastructure to support gas imports, facing a reduction in Bolivian supply and proposing a new pipeline from Argentina estimated at $1.7 billion.
