Araucária-Itajaí Oil Pipeline is a proposed oil pipeline in Brazil.

Location

The pipeline is proposed to run from the Presidente Getúlio Vargas Refinery (Repar) in Araucária (Paraná state) to the Transpetro terminal in Itajaí (Santa Catarina state), Brazil. En route, the pipeline would also pass through Transpetro's Guaramirim terminal (about 5 km east of João Pessoa, Santa Catarina).[1]

Background

The 197-kilometer Araucária-Itajaí Oil Pipeline was proposed in Brazil's 2021-2022 Indicative Oil Pipelines Plan as a means to increase oil transport capacity between the states of Paraná and Santa Catarina in Brazil's South region. The new pipeline would follow the same path as the existing OPASC oil pipeline. The pipeline would be divided into two sections as outlined above, and would have an estimated cost of R$ 1,210 million (roughly 1.2 billion Brazilian reais).[1]
