Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the possibilities of natural gas import
from Argentina or Bolivia to Brazil. It is possible to verify the existence of a consumption
market that may become the importation of gas attractive. More than a simple trade deal,
the construction of a gas duct may help to improve the existence of a future common market:
the Mercosur.
