Nova Transportadora do Sudeste S/A

NTS (Nova Transportadora do Sudeste S/A – NTS) transports natural gas through a solid gas pipeline system, safely and reliably connecting Brazil’s most industrialized region.

More than 2,000 kilometers of pipelines with transport contractual capacity of 158.2 million m³ of gas per day. NTS pipelines link the states of Rio de Janeiro, Minas Gerais and São Paulo (responsible for approximately 50% of gas consumption in Brazil) with the Bolivia-Brazil pipeline, GNL terminals and gas processing plants.

Our History

NTS was created from a Statement of Commitment signed with the Brazilian National Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels Agency (“ANP”), in which Petrobras has committed to restructure the Transportadora Associada de Gás (TAG) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, in order to create a natural gas carrier in southeastern Brazil (NTS) and another in the North-Northeast (NTN).
