Types of contracts

Transportation contracts are defined by the clients’ reception and delivery points and the available capacity of the Centro Oeste and Norte pipelines.

Within this scheme, we have 3 types of contracts: Firm Transportation (FT), Interruptible Transportation (IT) and Exchange and Displacement (E&D).

Firm Transportation (FT)

Service that will not be interrupted throughout the duration of the contract, with the exception of emergencies or exceptional circumstances. Clients pay a fixed charge for capacity reserved.

Interruptible Transportation(IT)

Subject to interruptions, depending on system capacity and availability. Clients pay a variable charge based on transported volume.

Exchange and Displacement (E&D)

The gas supply is received at one location and delivered at another, regardless of its physical movement.
