16-Jan-15

Petrobras carried out the first petrochemical naphtha loading operation at the Abreu e Lima Refinery (also known as RNEST), to be delivered to customer Braskem. Of the total 56,650 m3 produced so far at RNEST, 18,063 m3 of the product was dispatched in this first load. The ship FSL Singapore, moored at the Port of Suape, in Pernambuco, has been loaded with this volume, and it will now sail to São Sebastião, in São Paulo, where the sale of the petrochemical naphtha to Braskem will be completed. The petrochemical naphtha is produced in RNEST’s Atmospheric Distillation Facility, pumped into storage tanks within the refinery, certified in line with the standards of the National Oil, Natural Gas and Biofuels Agency (ANP), and then pumped on board the respective ship, with logistics support from Transpetro.
