The TNG consortium, formed by Petrobras (50%), El Paso (25%) and CS Participacoes (25%), has obtained a suspension of previous legal action against it by offering a donation of 10.5 million reals ($3.4 million) for sustainable development projects in the area of influence of the 550 kilometre pipeline.
A legal document signed by the Federal Public Ministry in Brasilia and seen by Upstream says the Brazilian environmental agency Ibama will continue with the licensing process for the pipeline, which had previously been stopped by a judicial decision of the Federal Justice.
