The Chinese shipbuilding industry celebrates a new achievement with the shipyard CIMC Raffles securing contracts for the construction of the hulls of the P-84 and P-85 Petrobras platforms. These floating production units, designed for the oil fields of Atapu and Sépia in the Santos Basin, are projected to produce up to 225,000 barrels of oil per day each, according to the website Petronoticias.

Selection of Seatrium and Signing of Contracts with Petrobras

Seatrium was selected by Petrobras to lead the construction of the two FPSO units. The contract was signed by Petrobras directors a day before the appointment of then newly-appointed President Magda Chambriard, without her prior knowledge.

The contracts with the CIMC Raffles shipyard include the engineering, supply, and construction of the hulls of the FPSOs P-84 and P-85, as well as the provision of accommodation rooms and the M15B module. CIMC Raffles plans to integrate advanced technologies into the platforms, such as zero-flaring and routine ventilation, variable speed drives, emission control measures, and CO2 capture. The platforms will utilize a totally electric concept to enhance energy generation efficiency, aiming to reduce greenhouse gas emission intensity by 30%.

Impact on National Content and Production of Petrobras Platforms

The start of production for the P-84 and P-85 platforms is anticipated for 2029, outside of the current Petrobras Strategic Planning (2024-2028). The expectation is that the P-84 will have 20% national content, while the P-85 will have 25%. Brazilian shipyards will likely be responsible for the construction of modules or commissioning services.

In Brazil, Seatrium operates the shipyards BrasFELS, in Angra dos Reis (RJ), and Jurong Aracruz, in Aracruz (ES). The partnership with CIMC Raffles and the implementation of advanced technologies reinforce Seatrium’s capacity to lead complex and innovative projects in the oil and gas sector.

Libya built over 4,000 kilometers of underground pipelines to bring water from the Sahara to coastal cities in a project that the government itself called the Eighth Wonder of the World.

Desert sand, previously discarded for being too smooth for concrete, becomes an ecological brick in the United Arab Emirates, dispensing with Portland cement, curing at room temperature, and attempting to transform dunes useless for construction into raw material for a new arid engineering.

He transformed an abandoned plastic water tank into an underground house in the “hobbit hole” style, using only repurposed pallet wood, without heavy machinery or expensive labor.

China transforms desert-devastated area into the world’s largest artificial forest, planting trees for 60 years, blocking sand that reached Beijing, and creating a “green lung” of 92,000 hectares in a region once considered lost.

Toyota launches “family hybrid van” with 7 or 8 seats, 1.8 hybrid engine, fuel consumption of up to 23.8 km/l, and a price equivalent to about R$ 104,000 without taxes, below the Tiggo 8 Pro Plug-in Hybrid sold in Brazil: meet the Noah Hybrid 2026 in Japan.

With 70 tons of rock removed by hand and an 800-year-old abandoned cave, a former businessman transforms a dark shelter into a modern home carved in the heart of the forest.

Engine without traditional cylinder head could change the future of hybrids: Aramco creates DHE technology that simplifies mechanics, promises to reduce consumption by up to 25%, and challenges decades of evolution in combustion engines.

Smaller than a Kwid and priced at around R$ 60,000, the Mitsubishi eK Cross EV features a 1,500 W outlet, 180 km range, and becomes a sort of power bank on wheels in Japan.

Government allows new ID to be requested via mobile phone for home delivery with CPF as a unique number: Rio has already issued 4.4 million IDs, the document is free, has a QR Code, biometrics, and replaces the old ID until 2032.
