HRT is looking to monetize their gas in the Solimoes basin. In their August 2012 Enercom presentation, they mention the possibility of building a pipeline line like the Urucu-Coari pipeline which has proven its economics.

Note that the Jurua field is adjacent to large gas finds that HRT/TNK-Brasil has made this year. Also note that HRT, TNK-Brasil, and Petrobras have signed a letter of intent for the monetization of the natural gas in the Solimoes basin.
This final article wraps up the current situation:
