Economic Recovery Drives High Diesel Consumption in 2022 and Fuel Sales Expected to Reach 62.6 Billion Liters!

Domestic Diesel Consumption Exceeds Petrobras Production – which is not sufficient to meet domestic demand and, to ensure that the market continues to be supplied on an economic basis and without risks of shortages, Brazil imports over 30 thousand tons of Russian diesel.

The imports of oil from Russia intermediated in July by the Brazilian government occur due to the economic recovery and the increase in Brazilian agricultural production in the 2021/2022 harvest. Additionally, importing fuel from Russia came as an alternative to the United States – a traditional supplier to Brazilians, now facing competition from Europeans amid the impacts of the war in Ukraine.

Petrobras Expected to Achieve Historic Sales of the Product in the Second Half of 2022

Despite Brazil purchasing Russian diesel, as Bolsonaro reported, the country is expected to reach historic sales of the product in the second half of 2022, according to a survey by the Energy Research Company (EPE).

35 Million Liters of Russian Diesel Arrived at the Port of Santos in July

According to information from the Minister of Mines and Energy, Adolfo Sachsida, by the end of September, a shipment of about 35 million liters of Russian diesel arrived at the port of Santos, coming from the Port of Saint Petersburg, Russia.

According to the largest port terminal in the country, this is the ship NS Pride, registered under the Liberian flag; the minister also projected new shipments arriving this month of October.

According to reports from the ANP, since August, with the start of the period of higher diesel demand in Brazil, the agency granted 20 import licenses for a total of 61.8 thousand tons of fuel from Russian origin to two importers to avoid the risk of shortages and high prices in the country.

The oldest tree in the world, alive since before the birth of Jesus Christ, is cut down in a scientific study and the case changes environmental preservation rules.

Seen from space, an image taken by an astronaut shows an unlikely oasis in the Saudi Arabian desert, protected by a terrain that slows the advance of sand, surrounded by green circles, remnants of an extinct lake and nearly 10,000 years of preserved history.

While in Brazil a 10-story building takes 2 years to complete, in China a company stacks pre-fabricated modules and raises the entire building in just 28 hours and 45 minutes.

An entire island in the Pacific wants to surround itself with a colossal barrier against the ocean to try to escape increasingly violent waves and not be swallowed by the sea in the coming decades.

After ten days orbiting the Moon, science confirms that the astronauts of the Artemis II mission return with altered bodies.

With 7.4 trillion tons of artificial snow pumped in 10 years, an extreme operation could stabilize the West Antarctic ice sheet and prevent a sea level rise of more than 3 meters, but it would require snow cannons, ocean water, and energy on an almost industrial scale at the end of the world.

Peru built a tunnel at an altitude of 4,738 meters cutting through the Andes Mountains, and the road leading to it reaches 4,818 meters, making it the highest paved road in the entire world.

Weighing less than 250 grams and comparable in size to a smartphone, a microdrone with 3D-printed propellers reaches 340.78 km/h and enters the Guinness World Records as one of the fastest electric quadcopters ever built.

China imposes billion-dollar fines on seven e-commerce platforms after violations in food delivery and pressures the sector to correct flaws that affect trust, food safety, and consumer experience.

Scientists have found the most sought-after ingredient for batteries hidden inside a mineral that everyone thought was useless — and the discovery could eliminate the need to open new lithium mines…

Multinational Ocyan opens offshore position for those who want to work on board in Macaé (RJ) as a Piping Designer; the job offers health insurance, life insurance, and more.

Iran said that the Strait of Hormuz is open, but in practice only 1 non-Iranian oil tanker managed to cross in 24 hours — before the blockade, 100 ships passed per day.

Petrobras completes 1,300 hours of work and 15 km of subsea lines to connect the Búzios 90 well to the P-79 — the platform is ready to produce 180,000 barrels per day and is just awaiting ANP approval.

Iran declares the Strait of Hormuz completely open this Friday, and the price of oil plummets nearly 10% in a few hours — the largest drop since the beginning of the conflict.

While the world was paying more for fuel, the 100 largest oil companies on the planet raked in an extra $23 billion in just 30 days of blockage in the Strait of Hormuz.

Petrobras buys 75% of Oranto and becomes the operator of block 3 in São Tomé and Príncipe, resuming its strategy in Africa to diversify its portfolio and replenish oil and gas reserves.
