Petrobras expects natural gas imports to remain essential for ensuring Brazil’s supply in the coming years, even as domestic production is projected to expand. The assessment was made by the company’s Executive Director of Energy Transition and Sustainability, Angélica Laureano. According to Laureano, national production growth has been uneven across producing hubs, meaning that imported gas will continue to play a key role in balancing supply. “While we are increasing production in some areas, there has been a decline in others,” she explained. Laureano highlighted that Brazil will have a more robust portfolio of domestically sourced gas with the start-up of major offshore projects.
