The Confirmation of Offshore Drilling by Drillship by Seadrill Came This Week, and the Work Will Be Carried Out Together with Petrobras

The offshore drilling contractor Seadrill confirmed that one of its drillships has begun its mission at an offshore field in Brazil with the country’s oil and gas giant, Petrobras.

In November 2021, Seadrill secured two contracts with Petrobras for its West Carina and West Tellus platforms to operate in the Búzios offshore field in Brazil.

At that time, Seadrill explained that both contracts were signed with a fixed term of three years and that the platforms were to start working for Petrobras in September 2022.

The West Tellus from Seadrill, built in 2013, is a sixth-generation DP3 offshore drilling ship, constructed by the Samsung shipyard in South Korea. It can accommodate 200 people.

This offshore drillship from Seadrill began its contract with Petrobras only a week after the West Jupiter drillship did the same.

More about ships: Shell plans that by the last drop of oil from the company leaves Brazil. The multinational has 14 active drilling ships, another 3 already contracted, and an additional 3 planned for incorporation in the future.

Having been in Brazil for 110 years, Shell stated that it intends to explore on its platforms “until the last drop of oil” in Brazilian territory, while also planning to complete the energy transition to renewable sources, according to Broadcast.

To conclude this company’s planning, Shell’s president in Brazil, Cristiano Pinto da Costa, aims to expedite licenses for investments in oil and gas exploration platforms, in addition to accelerating the regulatory framework process for offshore wind energy.

According to Shell’s president, Brazil is a priority country for the oil company. In charge of Shell since August 2022, Pinto da Costa has an 18-year career at the company, even working at its headquarters in London before returning to Brazil in 2018.

Engineers want to carve through Africa with a giant canal to bring water from the world’s second-largest river to a dying lake on the edge of the Sahara Desert that has already lost 90% of its water.

Brazil filled the Northeast with wind turbines but now faces the side effect of 705 giant blades reaching the end of their lifespan by 2032 just in Rio Grande do Norte, while the world projects 43 million tons of waste by 2050.

India approved the country’s first submerged road-rail tunnel, 15.8 kilometers dug under the bed of the Brahmaputra River.

Instead of burning or burying old tires, an American city is transforming about 2,000 of them into the street itself, paving its first sections with a quieter and more durable rubber asphalt.

In just one cast, fishermen are surprised to capture 14,096 mullets in Bombinhas and close a historic season with 58,000 fish; scene recorded in the Santa Catarina paradise marks the last day of the 2026 season.

10 giant tortoises are reintroduced and, in just 6 months, trigger changes that lead scientists to investigate a phenomenon absent for 180 years; the numbers recorded on the island impress researchers from around the world.

Greek island offers free housing for volunteers, but there’s a condition: you need to take care of rescued cats.

What many people consider a weed has become a bicycle in the hands of a Chilean. José Tomás transforms coligüe, a native bamboo that grows up to five times faster than pine, into bikes, canes, and cutlery.

Only 28% of the ocean floor has been accurately mapped, less than what is already known about the surface of Mars and the Moon, and scientists consider the topic strategic for Brazil, with a global goal to map everything by 2030.

Japan wants to bury a 500 km “cargo conveyor” between Tokyo and Osaka to replace up to 25,000 trucks per day, move goods through tunnels and automated driverless corridors, and avoid a logistical collapse in an increasingly aging country.
