The evolution of the demand for energy in Brazil, as well as in Latin America has required the society, the government and investors a creative vision that is adapted to the needs of growth. Within this scenario the gas has been gaining its space. This input, by definition has many possibilities of use: it is a fuel with low-profile generation of pollutants when compared to fossil fuels that occupied the energy matrix. Natural gas is also gaining space in the world in energy generation. The base gas to electricity generation is a stabilizing factor for the provision of that input, since it is not dependent on hydrological conditions that affect the energy planning. In addition to use as fuel natural gas is also gaining space in Brazil as a raw material for chemical and petrochemical industry.

In Brazil, the large investments in recent years have driven a gradual integration of the natural gas market. Brazil, which today has a large dependence on imported gas from Bolivia, will be self-sufficient of the input in the coming years, according to trends, especially due to the fields of pre-salt layer. The entry of these fields could change the landscape of Brazil's current importer to exporter of natural gas and also introduces into the domestic market increased participation of non-associated gas to oil production.

The nationalization of oil held by the Bolivian Government in 2006, where the state took control of the production chain of natural gas and oil generated in Brazil a greater concern with the development of national production in order to reduce this dependence. After this, Petrobras announced its policy as: the increase of investments in the sector, the anticipation of production of Santos and the creation of regasification terminals to receive LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas).

The Brazilian market is currently a legislative change with the recent development of specific legislation for the sector. Natural gas was, until then, governed by the Petroleum Law in which the gas was treated as a derivative of petroleum. The objective of this new legislation is to break the monopoly that exists in the industry to find a more competitive market.

In this scenario of growth and transformation of the market, the sum of their technical training team, GAS ENERGY Group feels able to assist in new business, in risk analysis, the creation of prospective scenarios in preparation of studies of gas markets utilizing models for price and also in assessing the competitiveness against other fuel substitutes.
