According to the bidding notice, the equipment must be capable of operating at 3,000 m of water depth and must operate for eight uninterrupted years, as it will drill between 18 and 20 wells, the trend is that the oil company renews the contract at least two more times.

It is speculated in the market that Equinor’s initiative to bid for a rig that will only drill in 2021 is a strong signal that the oil company wants to get ahead of the high demand for this type of equipment in the coming years.
The first oil from the Carcará field is expected between 2023 and 2024, and three and a half years later, the start of the complementary phase of the asset, which was acquired in the 2nd production-sharing round in 2016, in partnership with ExxonMobil (40%) and Galp (20%), is already planned.

The West Saturn rig from Seadrill will finish this month its drilling campaign in Carcará, and meanwhile, Equinor is in the market discussing the FEEDs (front-end engineering design) for the FPSO, which could be the largest pre-salt (220 thousand barrels/day) and the SURF (subsea risers, umbilicals, and flowlines) of the project.

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.

In Botswana, a salt flat of up to 16,000 km² that was once an African megalake spends months as an absolute white desert, but during the rainy season it transforms into a shallow sea that reappears from nowhere and can be seen from space in the middle of southern Africa.

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.

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.

CEFET opens a new selection process for a Substitute Professor position with a salary of up to R$ 8,000 and R$ 1,192.00 for food to work in MG.

A creature with 20 arms gliding through the icy waters of Antarctica surprises researchers and intrigues science: the discovery of the genus Promachocrinus fragarius reveals unusual life forms and raises an inevitable question — how many marine “aliens” have yet to be found?

Shotcrete replaces manual plastering, can double or even triple productivity on site, and delivers more uniform walls; this industrialized technique has been gaining ground precisely where there is a lack of skilled labor.

Speeding results in over 45 million fines and establishes itself as the main traffic violation in Brazil.

A South African father and son 3D print a drone structure, spend over 2 years destroying prototypes, and achieve 657.59 km/h with the Peregreen V4, a world record certified by Guinness that places the independent project among the fastest electric quadcopters ever built.
