Background

The Santo Antônio dos Lopes-Barcarena Gas Pipeline is one of several new pipelines proposed in a November 2020 government plan to expand Brazil's natural gas transmission network. The 677-kilometer, 20-inch pipeline would have an estimated development cost of R$ 5.9 billion (5.9 billion Brazilian reais) and the capacity to deliver 8 million cubic meters of natural gas per day to customers in the states of Maranhão and Pará.[1] As of November 2020, environmental licensing for the project was underway.[2]

A December 2022 update of the Brazilian government's national gas transport plan continued to list the Santo Antônio dos Lopes-Barcarena pipeline as an active project in the licensing phase.[3]
