Petrobras Platform Anchored and to Receive Final Adjustments Before Departing for the Pre-Salt of the Santos Basin and Conducting Long-Duration Tests

Petrobras’ FPSO unit, the P-70, which was built in China and left the COOEC shipyard in Qingdao on December 9, 2019, anchored today (24th) in Guanabara Bay, in the state of Rio de Janeiro. The platform will operate in the Atapu field, in the pre-salt of the Santos Basin.

This was the Petrobras unit where the unfortunate accident occurred, in which one worker died and five were hospitalized due to the consumption of ethyl alcohol, motivated by a moment of relaxation among the crew. The body of the employee is expected to arrive in Angra in a few days, more details can be found here. The incident occurred in South Africa, specifically in the city of Durban, about 51 kilometers away from the coast.

The unit impresses those who pass by the bridge and see such a colossal project. The P-70 was towed by the dry tow system by BOKA VANGUARD, from BOSKALIS. This cargo transport vessel was specifically designed to carry loads of this nature, reducing the logistical travel time to over 1 month. A follower shared a photo with us, check it out below:

Excitement of Offshore Production and Drilling Units Coming to Brazil Creates Jobs in the Sector

The third week of January 2020 was intense; many offshore job openings were announced by service providers in maintenance and hospitality. Use the search field (LUPA) and type “offshore”, wait for the latest results to load, and apply.

Elfe Engenharia, along with other companies, offers more than 400 job vacancies that are open for a large maintenance shutdown, a 45-day contract (intermittent) with various different positions. Click here to check, there are 3 distinct posts about it.

Excitement of Offshore Production and Drilling Units Coming to Brazil Creates Jobs in the Sector

The Soviet Union spent 22 years drilling into the Earth’s crust and reached a depth of 12,262 meters — they found water where it was thought impossible, hydrogen bubbling from the rock, granite that is 2.7 billion years old, and temperatures of 180 degrees that melted the drill bits.

Egypt wants to draw 10 million cubic meters of water from the Nile per day into the desert, irrigate a new agricultural frontier, and build a city where there is currently only sand.

Ethiopia has banned gasoline and diesel cars, placed over a hundred silent electric buses on the streets of Addis Ababa, and now aims for half a million electric vehicles by 2030, all powered by Africa’s largest dam and a courage that few countries have shown.

Norway is drilling 27 kilometers of rock 392 meters below the bottom of a fjord to build the world’s largest and deepest underwater road tunnel — when completed, a 21-hour journey will be reduced to 10.

An astronaut spent 340 days in space while his twin brother stayed on Earth, and NASA found a “rejuvenating” effect, genes, microbiome, cognition, and immune system that revealed the biological cost of living outside the planet.

After 14 years of construction and a diplomatic crisis that nearly led to a military confrontation over control of the Nile, Ethiopia inaugurated the largest hydroelectric power plant in Africa — the dam is 170 meters high, holds 74 billion cubic meters of water, and generates 5,150 megawatts.

Laid out like a chessboard even before having a single resident, Teresina was the first planned capital of Brazil and today surprises with avenues shaded by ancient trees, two rivers of different colors that meet, and chilled cajuína on the table.

A French startup wants to place 3,400 satellites just 375 km from Earth, closer than Starlink, to offer 5G internet directly to mobile phones without needing a special antenna, and has just raised 27 million euros to start challenging the American giants.

Brazil leads the attraction of foreign money in Latin America, ahead of Mexico, Chile, and Colombia, but the paradox is that the Brazilian investor is fleeing their own stock market and putting R$ 154 billion into fixed income while the foreign investor buys everything.

A Brazilian rode a motorcycle up to 5,000 meters of altitude in Peru to find the exact place where the world’s largest river originates, and what he found up there surprised even himself.

Paraná is in the path of the strongest cold of 2026 so far, with polar air advancing after a cyclone in the Atlantic, bringing early mornings below 10 °C, cold wind, and a risk of frost in the state’s highest areas.

The electricity bill in the Northeast will increase by almost 10% starting this week — five states already have a scheduled date for the adjustment, and the director of ANEEL admits that the increase is double the inflation.

A Chinese company has just delivered its 10,000th humanoid robot — and now wants to place 100,000 in factories worldwide by the end of the year, while Tesla, Boston Dynamics, and the rest of the West have yet to move beyond prototypes.

Brazil has never generated so much clean energy — and has never charged so much for it: while solar and wind farms break records, the electricity bill rises by up to 23% and R$ 52 billion in charges are paid by 35 million families who don’t understand why electricity has become so expensive.
