State provides 113 million cubic meters per day, equivalent to 74% of the total, says Firjan’s study
The state of Rio de Janeiro maintains its leadership in natural gas production in Brazil, representing 74% of the national total. This information was released by FIRJAN (Federation of Industries of the State of Rio de Janeiro) in the 7th edition of the study “Gas perspectives in Rio 2024-2025”. Us a (PDF 17 MB).
The document reveals that Fluminense production reached 113 million cubic meters per day, marking a 6% increase compared to the previous year.
Despite the growth in production, the country faces challenges in using natural gas, with the rate of national use falling to 33% and, in Rio de Janeiro, to 23%.
The underground gas reinjection practice, which aims to maintain reservoir pressure and optimize oil extraction, also registered an increase, reaching 54% of national production and exceeding 70 million cubic meters per day in the state.
The study also points out a 46% growth in proven natural gas reserves in Brazil, with Rio de Janeiro housing 72% of these reserves.
O “Gas perspectives in Rio 2024-2025” It indicates that investments in the natural gas value chain should exceed $ 150 billion over the next ten years. These contributions are considered essential for job creation and reducing production costs, with the migration of industries to the natural gas free market being a key movement to the sustainable growth of the economy.
