In Building an Open and Competitive Market, Petrobras Signs Contract with Chinese Oil Company for Gas Flow and Processing in the Pre-Salt of the Santos Basin

Aiming to build an open and competitive market, Petrobras signed on December 27 a contract for the Integrated Natural Gas Processing System (SIP) with CNOOC Petroleum, the largest oil company in China.

Together with Petrogal Brasil, Repsol Sinopec Brasil, and Shell Brasil, partners in the offshore pipelines of the pre-salt Santos Basin, it has completed the process for CNOOC’s adherence to the existing contracts of the Integrated Natural Gas Flow System of the Santos Basin (SIE-BS).

With the signing of these contracts, starting from 01/01/2023, the Chinese oil company will be able to flow natural gas from the Búzios field, located in the pre-salt of the Santos Basin, through any of the export routes of the SIE-BS and process it at Petrobras-owned plants, enabling direct supply to the natural gas market by CNOOC.

The signing of the contract represents another step by Petrobras in building an open, competitive, and sustainable natural gas market and is part of the commitments made to the Administrative Council for Economic Defense (CADE) in July 2019.

The SIE-BS comprises Routes 1, 2, and 3 for the flow of the pre-salt hub of the Santos Basin, and the SIP includes the processing plants connected to the SIE-BS, owned by Petrobras, located in Caraguatatuba, São Paulo, Cabiúnas, and Itaboraí (under construction), both in Rio de Janeiro.

In addition to the SIE-BS and SIP, Petrobras has also shared, since 2022, with Potiguar E&P (a subsidiary of PetroReconcavo) the Guamaré Natural Gas Flow System (SEG Guamaré) and the natural gas processing plant at UPGN Guamaré.

A British company has installed in the middle of the ocean the world’s first floating platform that generates electricity 24 hours a day from the temperature difference between the surface and the depths of the Atlantic, without relying on wind or sun.

Great Atlantic Sargassum Belt has ceased to be a climatic phenomenon and has become a biological system that feeds on itself, with 8,000 kilometers in length, 37 million tons of algae, and scientists confirm that it is now permanent.

China is building an artificial island in the middle of the sea, covering 20 km², to construct the largest offshore airport in the world, the Dalian Jinzhouwan. This $4.3 billion project is anchored on more than 3,000 pillars embedded in the rock beneath the ocean and is scheduled to open in 2035.

A robot named Walter does the work of five bricklayers per hour and can save the construction industry, where the average age of professionals is 46 years and almost no one wants to learn the trade anymore, in the United Kingdom.

Austrian engineers have developed an inflatable concrete technology that transforms flat slabs into domes using only air pressure, eliminating scaffolding and temporary forms, and potentially changing the way bridges, tunnels, and curved roofs are constructed worldwide.

Engineers had to pour concrete mixed with tons of ice throughout entire nights in the Dubai desert to erect the Burj Khalifa; any carelessness could clog the pipes half a mile high.

The James Webb telescope spotted a planet 700 light-years from Earth with mornings full of sand clouds and nights with clear skies, the temperature difference between the two hemispheres reaches an impressive 170 degrees.

About 275 bales of straw were used to fill giant holes in California dunes, holding back the escaping sand, rebuilding degraded areas, and protecting the coastal ecosystem against erosion and trampling.

Chinese technology enables a car to steer, brake, and change lanes by itself in cities, but still requires full human attention.

Cyclone and cold arrive in Brazil: cold front causes heavy rain, risk of storms, and a sharp drop in temperatures in Brazilian states this weekend, while maritime winds increase instability in other locations.

It is now official: Correios and AliExpress join forces to speed up deliveries throughout Brazil, enhance package tracking, and strengthen the digital logistics infrastructure that supports the rapid growth of e-commerce in 2026.

The Ferrovia Norte-Sul, the logistical backbone of Brazil dragged on for more than four decades, has finally reached 73% physical completion, now advancing one kilometer per day towards the planned 2,000 kilometers.
