Petrobras will inaugurate the Cabiúnas-Reduc III (Gasduc III) gas pipeline on February 2.
The event will be attended by the Brazilian President, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.
Gasduc III is the biggest gas pipeline by diameter in South America, at 96.5 cm, and has the largest transportation capacity (40 million cubic metres per day) of all Brazilian gas pipelines.
Gasduc III will boost both the supply flexibility and the transportation capacity to Brazil's south-eastern market, the region which consumes the most natural gas.
