Ativo Is Currently The Third Largest Producing Field In The Country, With A Total Production Of 665 Million Barrels.

The FPSO Cidade de São Paulo, one of the first units to operate in the Brazilian Pre-Salt and the platform furthest from the coast, 320 kilometers from the Santos Basin, produced its first oil in the Sapinhoá Field in January 2013.

With 11 billion cubic meters of natural gas loaded and 665 million barrels of oil extracted, the asset has been quite successful over the last decade. The consortium formed by Repsol Sinopec (25%), the operator Petrobras (45%), and Shell (30%) is currently the third largest producing field in the country.

Located in the northern part of the field, where the well SPH-7D is located, it produces approximately 170,000 barrels of oil per day from 17 producing wells connected to the FPSO Cidade de São Paulo and FPSO Cidade de Ilhabela. The well SPH-7D is widely regarded as the best well in Brazil and one of the best in the world, with a production of 42,000 barrels of oil per day.

While an average building in London or New York takes three years to be completed, in China a 26-story tower went up in five days with about 100 workers, and the global modular construction market already moves US$ 95 billion per year.

Australia installs giant concrete structures on the seabed 800 meters from the shore to create an ocean intake for desalination that will draw in saltwater and produce 30 million liters of drinking water per day.

While a traditional school may take several days just to raise walls, in Malawi a 3D-printed school had its structure ready in 18 hours, welcomed children in June, and showed a new solution to the lack of classrooms.

Goodbye traditional washing machine: Panasonic surprises housewives with the NA-G5 featuring four drums, a 13 kg washer and dryer, a 12 kg dryer, independent mini washers, a heat pump, and a 4-in-1 system awarded at the German Design Award.

While cities spend fortunes patching potholes and tons of plastic become waste, the Netherlands transforms over 218,000 recycled cups into a modular bike path that can conceal drainage, cables, and pipes.

Empty beer bottle turns into sand, and the sand turns into concrete: an American city has discovered how to recycle glass locally using a solar-powered truck that crushes five tons of bottles per day in a local circular economy project.

With 192 beams focused on a target smaller than an eraser, the world’s largest energy laser fires more than 2 million joules in billionths of a second, generates 500 trillion watts, and recreates in the laboratory the extreme conditions of the interior of stars.

The highest “gym” on the planet was improvised in the Himalayas: fitness class at 6,476 meters sets world record on Mera Peak.

While treasure hunters compete for the San José in Colombia and the Atocha in Florida, Andalusian archaeologists map a 17th-century Spanish galleon with 27 intact cannons and evidence of cargo linked to the colonial silver fleet at just 6 meters deep in the Bay of Cádiz.

While the US and China compete over who will first deploy a hypersonic aircraft on a commercial route, JAXA tested a 2-meter demonstrator with a hydrogen ramjet engine in 2026 under conditions equivalent to Mach 5 with an external temperature of 1832 degrees Fahrenheit.
