Very interesting update on the Brasil field. They are aiming to secure an investor consortium by 2025 or initiate an international tender through CENEGAS. We'll have to wait and see how it plays out. One part that stuck out to me was Silva saying they have the "technologist."


Tamaulipas will conclude technical studies for gas storage in the Brazil field this year

He hopes to go out to look for the investment partner in 2025, or for Cenagas to launch the corresponding tender, said José Ramón Silva, head of Sedener.

The government of Tamaulipas will focus this year on concluding the technical part for the development of the natural gas storage project in the Brazil field, one of the strategic projects for the federal administration, with the aim of seeking the investment consortium in 2025. or, where appropriate, for Cenagas to launch the corresponding international tender.

“This year we want to leave the technical part completely in place and part of the permits,” said José Ramón Silva Arizabalo, Secretary of Energy Development of the government of Tamaulipas.

The official spoke with Energía a Debate within the framework of the Accreditation Delivery ceremony for the Tamaulipas Energy Sector Program 2023-2028, the first Program of its kind prepared by an entity at the national and international levels.

Silva explained that in 2024 it is also scheduled to advance the permits for this project.

He said that Brasil has two aspects for its development. On the one hand, the local administration has contemplated it in its package of energy and infrastructure projects, known as Voluntad Tamaulipeca (VolTam), which would go hand in hand with the Federal Electricity Commission (CFE), even though, he said, there is no Still, a budget allocated to the state company does not fully convince the model for its execution.

“There is another option that could be an association with the CFE, although in that sense CFE has seen that it is still not convinced by the model, so we believe that it will be through Cenagas,” he expressed.

He recalled that the National Natural Gas Control Center (Cenagas) considers the field as a strategic project for the energy security of the current federal government.

“We have the technologist, obviously; We have many interested investors, but [we want] to go out and formally look for a consortium for the detonation, whether Cenagas allows us to go out and look for investment, or whether Cenagas launches it in an international tender as a strategic project of the gas sector,” he commented.

The Brasil field, located in the Burgos Basin between the Tamaulipas municipalities of Reynosa and Matamoros, has an estimated storage capacity of 36 billion cubic feet, although initially around 10 percent of said capacity will be used.

Brasil is one of the four gas fields that the federal administration has contemplated to develop natural gas storage projects. The other three are Jaf, in Veracruz; Acuyo, in Chiapas, and Saramako, in Tabasco.

However, so far, none have been put out to tender.
