The ANP Just Exempted Petrobras From Building the Libra Hull In Brazil Because Costs Here Are 40% Higher. Unions Protest.

[supsystic-social-sharing id=’1′]Petrobras managed to have the ANP (National Agency of Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels) exempt it from local content rules for the Libra field in the pre-salt. The Brazilian naval sector quickly mobilized in protests and will file appeals to try to reverse this situation, with Sérgio Bacci, vice president of Sinaval, at the forefront of this battle.

What happened is that yesterday (4), the ANP decided to allow Petrobras to hire FPSO hull construction services for the Libra field project anywhere in the world, meaning that since building abroad is much cheaper than in Brazil due to tax burdens, the state-owned company will naturally want to construct this and other projects abroad, more precisely in China, where the economy exceeds 40%.

According to the vice president of Sinaval, the issue is that no agency consulted any shipyards to find out whether they could handle the construction of this hull or not. The union requested all documentation from the Libra Consortium to understand why and what basis the ANP used to make this decision without consultation. After the technical evaluation, Bacci will take the necessary legal measures to reverse this situation.

Petrobras stated in an official declaration that it is pleased with the ANP’s decision because consequently, this move will bring competitiveness to the Brazilian oil industry.

It Is Not Worth Building In Brazil

In April of this year, a public hearing was held regarding the flexibility of local content, and Petrobras said that if it adhered to all the rules in full, producing oil at the Libra field would be 40% more expensive. They also emphasized that this is a consequence of the heavy tax burden that the country (Brazil) imposes on the oil companies located here. In China, for instance, labor fines and service taxes are much more affordable, completely contrary to Brazil. Source: G1

It Is Not Worth Building In Brazil

A village with 115 inhabitants wants new residents: it offers a house, a job, up to 44 thousand euros in benefits, almost free rent, an annual grant of 8 thousand euros for 3 years, and a 20 thousand euro incentive for businesses in the mountains of Italy.

NASA is offering US$ 750,000 to people from anywhere in the world who solve a problem that could decide survival on Mars: creating food for astronauts without relying on resupply from Earth.

Elon Musk’s internet comes to mobile: Starlink technology connects smartphones without an antenna via satellite, works even without carrier signal, already costs just US$10 extra in the US, and could arrive in Brazil as an included benefit.

While countries spend billions to draw water from the sea, a Nobel-winning scientist creates a container-sized machine that extracts up to 1,000 liters per day from dry air and uses ultrasound to release water in minutes, even in the middle of the desert.

After 16 years and almost 600 prototypes, a Chinese inventor unveils the world’s smallest and cheapest manned jet, at just 3.80 meters long and costing US$7.2 thousand in materials.

Belgium will sink 23 giant concrete caissons, each weighing 22,000 tons, in the North Sea to build the world’s first artificial energy island 45 km off the coast, forming offshore electrical walls.

With a wingspan of 152 meters, 76 tires, and a capacity to carry 1,270 tons, the Boeing Pelican was the giant “flying ship” that promised to cross oceans close to the water on an invisible air cushion beneath its wings.

Car dealerships avoid these used cars like they’re bombs: famous engines, problematic belts, and expensive transmissions can turn a common purchase into a huge loss in the USA.

Germany installed vertical solar panels on a lake in Bavaria, and the result broke conventional logic: instead of producing energy at midday peak, the plant generates more early in the morning and in the evening, exactly when families turn on appliances and factories are in full swing.

More than 160 million gallons of water, equivalent to 240 Olympic swimming pools, need to be pumped to remove a 100,000-ton nuclear aircraft carrier from dry dock; each of these ships undergoes a complete overhaul costing US$2.8 billion.

With installments starting from R$ 999 per month, a 75 hp 1.0 engine, a 7-inch TFT digital panel, and standard stability control, the Citroën C3 is the cheapest hatchback in Brazil in 2026 and still leaves Kwid, Argo, and Mobi behind in onboard technology.
