This excerpt taken from the PBR 6-K filed Jul 5, 2005. Southeast Northeast Gas Pipeline (Rio de Janeiro,
July 4, 2005). – PETRÓLEO BRASILEIRO S/A - PETROBRAS, [Bovespa: PETR3/PETR4,
NYSE: PBR/PBRA, Latibex: XPBR/XPBRA], a Brazilian international energy company,
wishes to inform that the Southeast – Northeast (GASENE) gas pipeline made up of the
Cabiúnas (RJ)-Vitória (ES), Cacimbas(ES)-Vitória and Cacimbas-Catu (BA) sections,
continues to be part of the Company’s strategic plan as announced in May 2004.
Certain aspects of this investment are currently under review as part of the process for approving Petrobras’ investments due largely to changes in the supply and demand for natural gas. Work on the Cacimbas-Vitória section is currently proceeding according to plan with operations to start in December with the off-take of natural gas from the Peroá-Cangoá fields, initially for delivery to Vitória. The Cabiúnas-Vitória section is currently at the due diligence stage with the international tender bidding process expected to begin soon in conjunction with Sinopec. Supplies to the Northeast region for the period affected by the change in investment plans (2007-2008) will be met mainly through an increase in local feedstock. http: //www.petrobras.com.br/ri/english
