石油设备网讯 据管道新闻网7月10日消息称，玻利维亚国有石油公司YPFB计划竞购连接该国与巴西的天然气管道的股份，以确保该国天然气销售获得更好的条件。
YPFB公司在一份声明中说，该公司打算竞购巴西国家石油公司在玻利维亚-巴西天然气运输管道中（TBG）拥有的51％股权中一部分，该管道将玻利维亚天然气从玻利维亚-巴西边境运往圣保罗。
YPFB表示，增持目前在该管道12%的股份，将使其能够直接与天然气分销公司和私营企业进行谈判。
巴西国家石油公司周一表示，它将出售所持TBG股份，作为与反垄断监管机构CADE出售一系列资产交易的一部分。
巴西国家石油公司表示，该协议将竞争环境，并鼓励天然气市场的新参与者。但目前尚不清楚该公司将如何或何时出售这些资产。

Bolivia Seeks to Buy Petrobras Stake in Gas Pipeline to Brazil
Bolivia's state-owned oil company YPFB plans to bid on a stake in a natural gas pipeline linking the country to Brazil to secure better terms for its gas sales there, the company said on Tuesday.
YPFB intends to bid on an unidentified portion of the 51% stake that Brazil's state-owned energy company Petroleo Brasileiro SA owns in the Transportadora Brasileira Gasoduto Bolivia-Brasil (TBG), which pipes Bolivian natural gas from the Bolivian-Brazilian border to Sao Paulo, the company said in a statement.
YPFB said that raising its current 12% stake in the pipeline would allow it to negotiate directly with natural gas distribution companies and private industry.
Petroleo Brasileiro, known as Petrobras, said on Monday that it would sell its stake in TBG as part of a deal with anti-trust regulator CADE to sell off a series of assets.
Petrobras said the deal would protect competitive conditions and encourage new participants in the natural gas market. But it was not yet clear how or when it would sell the assets.
