This research aimed to present the challenges of the logistics required to maintain the
Urucu-Coari-Manaus gas pipeline. This was developed to supply the growing need for
electric energy in the Amazonian municipalities and has been in operation since 2009,
this pipeline connects the municipality of Coari (oil region of Uruca) to the Isaac Sabbá
refinery in Manaus. Methodologically, a research is classified, as to the approach in a
quali-quantitative research, because there was contact in loco with the studied space in
order to obtain more details for the study. In addition, quantitative data is used to
exemplify the maintenance process for this terminal. In general, the results induced that
many are the challenges encountered since implantation to the present day of operation,
transporting as great distances to access the deposits of the Urucu River, facing as
endemic, ensuring minimum conditions of comfort, safety, nutrition and meeting the
demands of the project, since the circumstances imposed by the peculiar characteristics
of the rivers bring complexity to the production. It is in this way that the specific
maintenance of this gas pipeline is consolidated, as they are granted as return by land and
consolidate a service that guarantees its operationality with safety and confidence requires
the technical planning and programming staff to be very careful to deal with lives, with
essential supply regional development and a heritage of great added value.
