Ecopetrol, state-controlled, made a discovery of light oil in northern Colombia. The Cosecha C-01 well was drilled in partnership with the US Occidental Petroleum to a total depth of 3300 meters. The duo aimed for a Cretaceous prospect in the Llanos basin and found a thickness of about 14 meters, Ecopetrol said. The well is currently producing crude oil of 38 degrees API at a rate of 3025 barrels per day.

The Cosecha C-01 is located near the Cano-Limon complex, which will help facilitate its future development, said Ecopetrol’s president, Felipe Bayon.

The company is also active in the Rondon, Chipiron, and Cravo Norte prospects in the block, and Ecopetrol said that the Cosecha discovery highlights the region’s potential.

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.

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.

Australia prepares to dredge 96.5 million m³ in Moreton Bay to deepen, widen, and realign channels of the Port of Brisbane, in a project of up to 25 years designed to accommodate larger ships and enhance maritime safety and regional port efficiency.

Study solves great ancient mystery: remains of Philip II, father of Alexander the Great, are identified in Vergina and resolves the enigma of the Macedonian royal tombs that had lasted half a century.

Larger than the Toyota Hilux and with a towing capacity of 3.5 tons, the new MG U9 2026 features a 2.5 turbodiesel engine, 520 Nm, 4×4 traction with three locks, and an almost full-size build.

For the first time in history, a submarine cable will descend to four thousand meters deep under the ice of the North Pole to ensure that the internet between Europe and Asia no longer depends on conflict zones in the Middle East.

While the world discusses geopolitics, China is quietly closing a deal with its Kazakh neighbor to secure grain supplies during any global food crisis, with more than 3,600 Kazakh companies already able to export directly to the Chinese market.
