Logistics: we cross borders and horizons
We cross the sky, land, and sea to bring our energy to people around the world. Find out how we integrate our transport and sale.
Vamos mais longe
Do we go further to take our energy, or do we use our energy to go further?
Our daily petroleum production in Brazil is more than 2 million barrels of oil equivalent — sufficient to supply the routine of millions of people. But this is only possible because we have traveled a long journey.
We create paths to allow people and materials to reach the operating units. To make the petroleum reach the refineries. To make derivates to reach all regions of the country. We work together with Transpetro, our logistics subsidiary, to transport, store, import, and export with the utmost safety and agility
Integração de logística
Find out how we integrate our logistics
Our work begins long before the petroleum reaches dry land. Discover our main logistics activities.
To explore the bottom of the sea, we also dominate the surface
Our waterway terminals are operated next to Transpetro by means of piers, monobuoys, or spread mooring. With them, we do it:
- Flow of petroleum production and transport to the mainland.
- Import and export of petroleum and derivates.
- Support for transfer operations (offloading), maintenance and inspection of ocean terminals.
- Coastal navigation (maritime transport between ports within the country) of petroleum and derivates.
- Logistics of materials, equipment, water, diesel, and food for maritime units.
- Treatment and disposal of waste from petroleum exploration and production processes.
- Readiness and control of possible oil emergencies at sea.
We produce fuel and asphalt, and we also insist on using
On a daily basis, we cross Brazilian soil from north to south and from east to west to transport petroleum and derivates with agility and security among our operations.
In addition to road presence, which covers a large part of the national network, our main land movement takes place through pipelines and oil pipelines operated by Transpetro.
By uniting road and pipeline transport, we are able to connect our petroleum refineries, gas treatment units and thermoelectric plants among themselves and with companies that use our products, such as other oil companies, distributors, and petrochemical companies.
The sky has never been a limit for our logistics operations
Our most important assets pass through here: people. In 2020, we transported more than 5,000 passengers, a crowd equivalent to the number of visitors to Fernando de Noronha for 3 years! We are responsible for 20% of all air transport in the worldwide petroleum and gas offshore industry.
Air operations are also used to assist with inspections, medical needs, and transportation of materials to offshore assets.
Principais Produtos
Main products transported
LCO, NGL, LPG… Before moving on, let's stop to learn a little more about the products we produce and transport.
Our main raw material, which can be transformed into various products through refining.
Name used to group different light-colored petroleum derivates, such as gasoline.
Name used to group dark petroleum derivates such as bunker oil.
It is used in boilers and engines in thermoelectric power plants, for example.
Derived from natural gas refining, NGL is used as a component of gasoline.
It is the traditional kitchen gas, which can be propane, butane, or a mixture of the two gases
Also called light oil, LCO is derived from oil refining
It can be derived from petroleum (ethanol) or made from plant waste (bioethanol)
A complex network of terminals and pipelines to simplify logistics
To store and distribute our petroleum and derivates safely and quickly, we use an integrated network of 49 logistics terminals, connected by 38 pipelines and oil pipelines.

Porto
Do you know the Port of Macaé?
At the end of the 1970s, the port area of Macaé/RJ enabled the creation of what would become home to one of the largest petroleum complexes in the world: the Campos Basin.
Importação e Exportação
Petroleum and export is also part of our routine
In addition to transporting our products across the Brazilian territory, we also import and export petroleum and its derivates to other countries. Thus, our logistics model not only takes our energy, but also generates gains for the company and for the Brazilian economy.
Maybe you ask yourself: “why do we care if Brazil is self-sufficient in petroleum production?”. This happens because there are different types of petroleum, which require specific refining processes — the heavier they are, the greater the complexity required. Pre-salt oil, for example, is considered light and of high value.
In these cases, it is possible to import oils not produced by the company to combine with our petroleum (the so-called “blend”) and adapt to our refining processes. Want to know more about our technologies?
