Chevron in Brazil

Chevron has a historical presence in Brazil, primarily operating in oil and natural gas exploration and production. The company started its operations in the country in the early 20th century and has participated in various offshore exploration projects over the years. One of Chevron’s main assets in Brazil was the Frade Field, located in the Campos Basin, where the company operated with significant participation. This deepwater oil field is situated approximately 370 kilometers off the coast of Rio de Janeiro.

In recent years, Chevron has been adjusting its portfolio in the country, selling stakes in some assets to optimize its global operations. Despite reducing its direct presence in certain projects, the company remains committed to the Brazilian market, seeking opportunities that align with its business strategy. Chevron upholds its commitment to safe and environmentally responsible operational practices, adhering to strict international and local standards across all its activities in Brazil.

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.

WEG opens a job vacancy for those who want to work from 4:20 PM to 1:15 AM as an Assembly Assistant in Bento Gonçalves (RS).

NASA releases the Rosalind Franklin mission and prepares the rover to search for signs of life on Mars while the thermal shield of the Orion capsule shows good condition during the reentry of Artemis 2.

While deserts are seen as unproductive areas, Morocco built the Noor Ouarzazate solar complex, one of the largest in the world, capable of supplying millions of people using only solar energy.

The United States raises a global alert by projecting a record electricity consumption of 4.244 trillion kWh in 2026, driven by artificial intelligence, data centers, and electrification, putting unprecedented pressure on networks, generation, and energy infrastructure.

China raises global alert again after banning Brazilian meat due to substance detection, increasing inspections, and raising the risk of new restrictions.

Under kilometers of water, rock, and salt, Brazil hides a colossal wealth that led an official guide from the U.S. government to recognize the country as the owner of the largest ultra-deep oil reserves in the world.

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.
