Company Drilling Campaign in Rio Grande do Norte Will Be Conducted by Drillship and Will Use the Port of Natal as Logistics Base

Wintershall Dea is awaiting environmental licensing to initiate a drilling campaign in block POT-M-857, in deep waters of the Potiguar Basin, in Rio Grande do Norte.
The block was fully acquired by the company for R$ 57.3 million during the 15th ANP bidding round held in 2018, and the drilling plan submitted to Ibama includes a dynamically positioned drillship to carry out the campaign.

The German Wintershall Dea also acquired two other projects in Rio Grande do Norte, POT-M-863 and POT-M-865, having paid R$ 24.5 million and R$ 16.3 million, respectively, in signature bonuses.
The oil company’s planning also includes using the Port of Natal as a logistical support base for its operations for this campaign.

In 2018, in the 15th ANP bidding round, Wintershall Dea defeated the consortium formed by Petrobras, Shell, and Petrogal to acquire the concession for POT-M-857, and to acquire blocks POT-M-863 and POT-M-865 it outbid a consortium formed by Petrobras and Shell.

The newly appointed Managing Director of Wintershall Dea’s business unit in Brazil, Valerie Bosse, will lead the company’s first exploratory campaign in Brazil.
It is the company’s interest to have a diverse portfolio in Brazil, thus it has stakes in seven exploratory blocks located in the basins of Rio Grande do Norte, Ceará, and the Campos and Santos basins.

About the Company

In September 2018, the merger between Wintershall and DEA Deutsche Erdöl AG was agreed upon, establishing Wintershall Dea as the largest independent oil and gas producer in Europe.

The merger of the two companies indicates important parameters for its economic growth in the future. Last year, the annual production of Wintershall and DEA amounted to 215 million barrels of oil equivalent to a daily production of 590,000 boe. Between 2021 and 2023, Wintershall Dea’s daily production is expected to increase to 750,000 to 800,000 boe, corresponding to an annual growth of 6% to 8% in production.

About the Company

For 45 years, Spain and Morocco have been trying to connect Europe to Africa through a project of just 14 kilometers in the Strait of Gibraltar, and an active tectonic fault on the seabed continues to make the project nearly impossible.

At just 14 years old, a boy creates a system without energy, using steel pipes buried in the ground, that irrigates seedlings with moisture from the air, to combat the water scarcity threatening reforestation in northern China.

Where there was only sand and wind at 40 degrees, China built a megacity of 500,000 inhabitants with farms, wineries, and universities in the middle of the desert using melted glacier water from hundreds of kilometers away.

Rain gains strength in April, potentially exceeding 150 mm, placing the North, Northeast, and the coasts of the South and Southeast at the center of the heaviest forecast of the week.

Cobalt enters global alert: study shows how a shock in one country can halt batteries, electric vehicles, and the entire production chain worldwide.

Without surfacing for months, a nuclear submarine carries more than 130 people to live in a steel cylinder at the bottom of the ocean and still possesses military power capable of destroying several cities.

Hidden for 60 thousand years at the bottom of the ocean, a zombie forest has resurfaced, surprising scientists with still-preserved trees and revealing microorganisms that could generate new medicines against infections and cancer.

Mars is accelerating, and scientists have discovered that the planet’s day is getting shorter, revealing surprising signs of internal activity.

Scientists drilled nearly 8,000 meters into the ocean floor above the fault that caused the 2011 tsunami in Japan and discovered that a layer of clay 130 million years old was responsible for making the wave much worse than any model had predicted.

Thousands of years after causing the largest eruption of the Holocene, one of the world’s largest supervolcanoes is rebuilding itself beneath the sea south of Japan, receiving new magma and alarming scientists with its transformation.
