Origem Energia Included in Its New Development Plan for the Pilar Field in Alagoas the Underground Natural Gas Storage Project.

Project awaiting authorization from the National Agency of Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels (ANP). The proposal will be analyzed by the agency’s board in conjunction with the Development Plan (PD) for Pilar.

The company expects to invest R$ 916 million in the asset recovery, increasing production to 11.7 million barrels/day of oil and 5.4 billion m³ of natural gas, in addition to the pilot project for gas storage.

Increase in Processing Capacity of Pilar’s UPGN

The company forecasts that, with underground natural gas storage, the processing capacity of the natural gas processing unit (UPGN) in Pilar will need to be expanded, as the current capacity of 1.8 million m³/day is reaching its limit.

Brazilian Government Invests in Natural Gas Storage

The Brazilian government is also interested in natural gas storage, and therefore, the Energy Research Company (EPE) will map the most promising areas for this type of underground storage, taking into account even carbon capture, storage, and utilization (CCUS).

The state-owned company hired an external consultancy for this work, which includes a policy and regulation study, inventory of areas for storage in depleted fields, and evaluation of targets for CCUS.

Thus, it is possible to notice that underground natural gas storage is a very viable alternative, in addition to being able to boost the economy and the natural gas market in the country. The potential of Origem’s natural gas storage could be a significant technological advancement for the area, allowing it to grow even further and meet more market demands. This will also lead to greater gas consumption, generating more job opportunities and increasing tax revenues for the government.

The oldest tree in the world, alive since before the birth of Jesus Christ, is cut down in a scientific study and the case changes environmental preservation rules.

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 in Brazil a 10-story building takes 2 years to complete, in China a company stacks pre-fabricated modules and raises the entire building in just 28 hours and 45 minutes.

An entire island in the Pacific wants to surround itself with a colossal barrier against the ocean to try to escape increasingly violent waves and not be swallowed by the sea in the coming decades.

After ten days orbiting the Moon, science confirms that the astronauts of the Artemis II mission return with altered bodies.

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.

Peru built a tunnel at an altitude of 4,738 meters cutting through the Andes Mountains, and the road leading to it reaches 4,818 meters, making it the highest paved road in the entire world.

Without a course in aerospace engineering and without a dedicated laboratory, USP students launch a rocket with a hybrid engine and bring Project Jupiter to the forefront of aerospace technology.

Goodbye USA! Trips to China soar as the US loses tourists, and the Asian giant dethrones the world’s greatest power and firmly enters the top of global tourism.

Three sailors were injured after a fire broke out on the aircraft carrier USS Dwight D. Eisenhower at a shipyard in the USA.

Goodbye to the invisible waste of the home: intelligent systems now combine thermostat, lighting, plugs, and energy monitor into a single platform capable of automating devices, displaying real-time consumption, and operating with standby of up to 0.5 to 1 watt on key devices.

It passed by Earth 170,000 years ago when our ancestors lived in caves and has now returned — a rare comet is visible to the naked eye in the sky this April and may never return again…
