The only oil and gas licensing round in Brazil this year will be held on December 3, said the National Agency of Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels (ANP) last Friday (11).

The open area program (Permanent Offering) will offer 708 exploratory blocks in the basins of Camamu-Almada, Campos, Ceará, Espírito Santo, Jacuípe, Pelotas, Pernambuco-Paraíba, Potiguar, Santos, and Sergipe-Alagoas, as well as three marginal oil accumulation areas: Rio Ibiribas (Espírito Santo), Miranga (Recôncavo), and Juruá (Solimões).

Currently, 57 companies are registered to participate in the bidding, including major international groups such as ExxonMobil, Karoon, Murphy Oil, Petrobras, Premier Oil, Rosneft, Shell, Total, and Wintershall. The registration details and the complete list of companies can be accessed here.

Brazil Schedules Its Only Oil And Gas Licensing Round For 2020

With billions in loans, China is rebuilding Nigeria’s railway network from scratch, abandoning the British colonial tracks that have turned to scrap and creating a corridor of over 1,300 km to take the load off the roads of Africa’s largest economy.

China is building an artificial island in the middle of the sea, covering 20 km², to construct the largest offshore airport in the world, the Dalian Jinzhouwan. This $4.3 billion project is anchored on more than 3,000 pillars embedded in the rock beneath the ocean and is scheduled to open in 2035.

Forget petroleum-based asphalt: a Scottish company transforms 684,000 plastic bottles into one kilometer of road that is 60% more resistant and up to 10 times more durable, and the technology has already started replacing traditional asphalt in more than 30 countries.

A British company has installed in the middle of the ocean the world’s first floating platform that generates electricity 24 hours a day from the temperature difference between the surface and the depths of the Atlantic, without relying on wind or sun.

Austrian engineers have developed an inflatable concrete technology that transforms flat slabs into domes using only air pressure, eliminating scaffolding and temporary forms, and potentially changing the way bridges, tunnels, and curved roofs are constructed worldwide.

A robot named Walter does the work of five bricklayers per hour and can save the construction industry, where the average age of professionals is 46 years and almost no one wants to learn the trade anymore, in the United Kingdom.

The James Webb telescope spotted a planet 700 light-years from Earth with mornings full of sand clouds and nights with clear skies, the temperature difference between the two hemispheres reaches an impressive 170 degrees.

This jumbo egg over 68 grams intrigues consumers on the shelves and reveals a curious detail about the age of the hen in the farms.

An “invisible” plant can transform rivers meeting the sea into electricity 24 hours a day: French startup uses nanotechnology to extract energy from the salt difference between fresh and saltwater, without sun, wind, dam, or fuel.

Will daylight saving time return? Understand the government’s plan that could change the country’s routine after studies point to the risk of peak energy at night, a drop in solar generation in the late afternoon, and direct impact on Brazilian states.

Venom from Chilean spider found by scientists acts with microscopic precision on human cells, causes necrosis, and may accelerate the development of new treatments for severe bites.

The STJ decides that a woman who left her career for more than 30 years to take care of the house, children, and family is entitled to lifetime alimony after divorce; the decision by the 3rd Panel recognizes extreme financial vulnerability and values invisible work in marriage.
