Regarding Rowan, the company does not have contracts with the Brazilian oil company, but they have done business; in January of last year, the driller purchased jack-ups P-69 and P-60 from Petrobras.

The drilling market was recently stirred by another major merger; at the end of last year, Transocean acquired Ocean Rig, creating a new company with a fleet of 57 rigs.

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 the U.S. still faces limitations in deep space, China is developing unprecedented technology with strategic satellites that maintain communication with the far side of the Moon and aims for dominance by 2030.

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.

The Blood Falls of Antarctica hide a living ecosystem trapped under the ice for over 2 million years, where microbes survive without light, without oxygen, and without ever having seen the Sun.

In the Saudi Arabian desert, the world’s largest green hydrogen plant is 80% complete and will use 4 gigawatts of solar and wind energy to produce 600 tons of clean fuel per day when it opens in 2027.

The CEO of Honor in Spain says that smartphones will change with AI, foldables, and even robot phones; the component crisis is making cheap models more expensive in 2026 and shifting the focus to premium.

Equatorial Institute opens the 2nd edition of the Equatorial Journey notice with 300 free spots for training social organizations in seven Brazilian states.

At a depth of 4 kilometers, with 90-minute descents and heat exceeding 60 °C, an operation only continues to function thanks to the pumping of liquid ice: how far can the endurance of workers in the deepest mine on the planet go?

Researchers use artificial rays to transform natural gas into methanol and create cleaner fuel; the technology reduces emissions, utilizes wasted methane, and advances global sustainable energy solutions.

In Europe, sustainable urban mobility is gaining momentum with an ambitious plan to reduce carbon emissions from transportation by up to 90% by 2040.
