Background

The Southeast Northeast Interconnection Gas Pipeline (Gasene) pipeline system connects Brazil's southeastern gas system to its northeastern gas system. It creates a common gas market in Brazil and allows gas import from Bahia. The project company of the Gasene system is Transportadora GASENE S.A., a subsidiary of Petrobras.

In June 2019 Petrobras sold its Transportadora GASENE S.A. (TAG) system to Engie and CDPQ for US$8.7 billion.

Pipeline sections

GASENE starts from the Cabiúnas Terminal in Rio de Janeiro and runs to the city of Catu in Bahia. The project comprises the following sections:

• Cabiúnas - Vitória, Brazil (GASCAV)
• Vitória - Cacimbas
• Cacimbas – Catu (GASCAC)

GASCAV pipeline

The Cabiúnas-Vitória pipeline is a 303 km (188 mi) long pipeline with a 710 mm (28 in) nominal diameter and maximum capacity of 7.5 billion cubic meter (bcm) of gas per year. This section has two compressor stations. It is interconnected by a 10 km (6 mil) long branch line with Anchieta. This section was designed and constructed by Chinese oil company Sinopec. The Cabiúnas-Vitória section was completed at the end of 2007.

Vitória - Cacimbas pipeline

Vitória – Cacimbas section is a 130 km (81 mi) long pipeline, which was completed in the second half of 2007.

GASCAC pipeline

The construction of Cacimbas - Catu pipeline started in May 2008 and it was completed in 2010. It is 954 km (593 mi) long. The pipe has a 710 mm (28 in) nominal diameter and it has one compressor station. The pipeline was designed, engineered, and built by Sinopec and financed by China Development Bank.
