据管道新闻网3月14日消息称，三名知情人士对路透表示，巴西国家石油公司将达成协议，将向美国私募股权公司 EIG Energy Partners 出售连接玻利维亚和巴西南部的天然气管道的控制权。

一位不愿透露姓名的消息人士透露，巴西国家石油公司预计将获得超过 5 亿美元的 TBG 51% 股份。根据谈判的细节，出价可能高达 10 亿美元。

正在谈判的是玻利维亚-巴西天然气运输公司(TBG)，该公司经营Gasbol的巴西段管道。

这条大约2600公里(1600英里)长的管道系统是巴西南部天然气的主要运输网络。去年前9个月，它为所有者创造了超过9亿雷亚尔(1.8亿美元)的营业利润。

Gasbol每天可以将3000万立方米(11亿立方英尺)的天然气从玻利维亚输送到巴西的消费市场。

巴西国家石油公司拒绝就谈判置评。EIG没有立即回应置评请求。

TBG将是巴西近年来第三家私有化的天然气管道公司。

2016年，巴西国家石油公司以52亿美元的价格将横跨东南部各州的Nova Transportadora do Sudeste (NTS)出售给了加拿大Brookfield资产管理公司和巴西Itausa SA牵头的一个财团。

2019年，巴西国家石油公司以87亿美元的价格将管道公司TAG出售给了法国的Engie和加拿大的养老基金CDPQ。

Petrobras and EIG Near Deal for Bolivia-Brazil Gas Pipeline

State-run Brazilian oil company Petrobras is close to reaching an agreement to sell to U.S. private equity firm EIG Energy Partners control of a natural gas pipeline that connects Bolivia and southern Brazil, three people with knowledge of the matter told Reuters.

Petroleo Brasileiro SA, as the company is formally known, is expected to receive more than $500 million for the 51% stake in TBG, added one of the sources, who requested anonymity to discuss private negotiations. The bid could reach up to $1 billion depending on details of the talks.

Under negotiation is Transportadora Brasileira Gasoduto Bolivia-Brasil (TBG), which operates the Brazilian section of the pipeline, called Gasbol.

The roughly 2,600 km (1,600 mile) pipeline system is the main transportation network for natural gas in the south of Brazil. It generated more than 900 million reais ($180 million) of operating profit for its owners in the first nine months of last year.

Gasbol can transport up to 30 million cubic meters per day (1.1 billion cubic feet per day) of natural gas from Bolivia to consumer markets in Brazil.

Petrobras declined to comment on the talks. EIG did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

TBG will be the third gas pipeline company privatized in recent years in Brazil.

In 2016, Petrobras sold Nova Transportadora do Sudeste (NTS), which runs through southeastern states, for $5.2 billion to a consortium led by Canada's Brookfield Asset Management and Brazil's Itausa SA.

In 2019, Petrobras sold pipeline company TAG for $8.7 billion to France's Engie and Canadian pension fund CDPQ.
