Brazil’s federally-controlled Petrobras said today that it signed an agreement with Shell for liquefied natural gas supplies for two regasification sites in the South American nation.
Petrobras said the supplies would be used for two LNG regasification terminals that will be installed off of Rio de Janeiro and the northeastern Ceara state.
Reuters said that the agreement does not specify volumes or price, but that it is similar to deals signed earlier with a range of other companies, including Suez Global LNG.
Reuters also said that the first 7-million-cubic-meters-per-day regasification terminal at Ceara should be completed by the end of June.
Petrobras said it will define, load-by-load, which terminal the LNG will be delivered to.
“To Petrobras, this partnership with Shell is very important. This agreement also shows the efforts Petrobras has undertaken to acquire firm LNG loads to complement Brazil’s demand for natural gas,” said Maria das Gracas Silva Foster, Petrobras’ director for Gas & Energy.
Brazil needs the gas to help offset dwindling supplies from neighboring Bolivia.

Royal Dutch Shell conspired directly with Hitler, financed the Nazi Party, was anti-Semitic and sold out its own Dutch Jewish employees to the Nazis. Shell had a close relationship with the Nazis during and after the reign of Sir Henri Deterding, an ardent Nazi, and the founder and decades long leader of the Royal Dutch Shell Group. His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
