Equinor’s Exploration Well 30/4-4 in the North Sea Has Been Reported Dry by the Norwegian Offshore Directorate.

Equinor reported that the exploration well 30/4-4 in the North Sea has run dry, according to the Norwegian oil resources regulator, Norwegian Offshore Directorate.

The well was located about seven kilometers north of the Linge Field in the North Sea, and 180 kilometers west of Bergen, Norway.

The Transocean Spitsbergen rig drilled the exploratory well, which unfortunately turned out to be dry.

Equinor’s partners in the license are Petoro (30%) and Sval Energi (19%).

The primary exploration objective of the well was to prove oil in sandstone in the Hermod Member in the Paleocene.

The well encountered 114 meters of Hermod sandstones with very good reservoir quality. It was drilled to a vertical depth of 2,135 meters below sea level and terminated in Cenozoic shale. The well will be permanently plugged and abandoned.

The water depth at the site is 128 meters. The well will be permanently plugged and abandoned.

A giant printer called the “Ferrari” of concrete has landed in Latin America and can already build a 120-square-meter house in just 48 hours, making the traditional construction site look like something from the last century.

Great Atlantic Sargassum Belt has ceased to be a climatic phenomenon and has become a biological system that feeds on itself, with 8,000 kilometers in length, 37 million tons of algae, and scientists confirm that it is now permanent.

A British company has installed in the middle of the ocean the world’s first floating platform that generates electricity 24 hours a day from the temperature difference between the surface and the depths of the Atlantic, without relying on wind or sun.

Brazil will harvest a record crop of up to 357 million tons of grains, but it does not have the capacity to store a large part of it. The storage deficit has reached the highest level in history and is equivalent to almost the entire production of Argentina.

Engineers had to pour concrete mixed with tons of ice throughout entire nights in the Dubai desert to erect the Burj Khalifa; any carelessness could clog the pipes half a mile high.

The James Webb telescope spotted a planet 700 light-years from Earth with mornings full of sand clouds and nights with clear skies, the temperature difference between the two hemispheres reaches an impressive 170 degrees.

Air bubbles from 3 million years ago extracted from Antarctic ice reveal that the current level of CO₂ has already surpassed that of the ancient, warm world, when the sea was up to 20 meters higher and there were no factories or cars burning fuel.

Brazil went to China to seek money and technology to reinvent TV and bring the internet to places where fiber does not reach. The mission negotiated with the BRICS Bank led by Dilma and paved the way for a Chinese rival of Starlink to connect the Amazon.

About 150 workers are driving, one by one, 4,585 BYD electric cars off a 220-meter ship at the Port of Itajaí. The 48-hour mega-operation is the largest shipment from the Chinese automaker in Santa Catarina this year.

Iceland is going to lower a drill five kilometers to reach rock at 400 degrees and try to extract clean energy on a scale that a common well cannot achieve.
