[5] Despite the logistical difficulty in the Amazon, the cost of extracting oil and natural gas from Urucu is among the lowest in Brazil.
Since 2009, the Urucu-Manaus pipeline has been operating, connecting the oil province to the capital of Amazonas, with a total length of 663 kilometers.
The pipeline is capable of transporting up to 5.5 million cubic meters per day of natural gas from Urucu to the Amazonas capital.
In addition, the field accounts for the daily production of approximately 1.2 tons of LPG, a volume capable of supplying seven states in the North region and others in the Northeast.
[6] In the beginning, before the existence of the gas pipeline, it took more than a week to drain the production by small ferries down the Urucu River to the city of Coari, on the banks of the Solimões River and from there, in larger ferries, to the Manaus Refinery (Refinaria de Manaus - Reman).
