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.

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

The end of Nokia: the brand that was the cellphone of an entire generation has ended its smartphones, left Brazil, and today survives only in basic phones in India while seeking a new partner.

Dissatisfied with seeing people sleeping on the street, a man named Ryan Donais started building small mobile homes so that homeless people can escape the cold, each equipped with a bed, running water, electricity, and heating.

Cambodia has started digging a nearly 180-kilometer canal to connect the Mekong River directly to the sea and reduce its dependence on the ports of neighboring Vietnam.

China has put millions of electric cars on the roads, but now faces the side effect: more than 1 million tons of batteries are expected to go out of use per year by 2030, while the government expands tracking and combats illegal dismantling with environmental risks.

An Indonesian fisherman pulls a mysterious object from the sea and discovers that it is a Chinese underwater monitoring system, part of the so-called Underwater Great Wall that Beijing uses to track submarines and unmanned vehicles in strategic straits of the region.

Physics has been challenged: researchers have discovered something that moves faster than the speed of light, but the phenomenon does not break relativity because it involves dark patterns within optical vortices.

To shorten a crossing that is currently done by sea from five hours to half an hour, the Philippines is building a 32-kilometer bridge over the water connecting the provinces of Bataan and Cavite.

Unusual incident: a taxi driver stopped at a corner because of a red light and his car with CNG caught fire in Argentina

Luciano Hang saw the gray suit of the Brazilian National Team steal the spotlight on social media, offered his famous green suit, and turned a detail of the departure into a national debate.

For 44,900 reais, you get a complete modular house of 18 square meters with a finished bathroom, vinyl flooring, a porch, and windows on both sides, and best of all: it is ready in just 30 days, much faster than a regular container.

How much does it cost to build a modern 70 m² house? See the hidden cost of R$ 7,545 that appears before materials and labor.

In the Netherlands, bottles and cans thrown on the streets become money in recycling machines and turn trash into meals for people who rely on cents per package to survive.
