Multinational oil and gas company Ocyan reported, in a relevant market announcement this morning (21/02), that the FPSO Cidade de Itajaí, which completes nine years of operation in February, reached the mark of 1 million m³ of oil produced in the Baúna Field, in the Santos Basin, since the signing of the service and charter contracts with Australian Karoon in November 2020.

“Reaching this production is a great pride for us, but more important than that is that we have done it with a focus on safety, asset maintenance, and meeting the expectations of our new client. The FPSO Cidade de Itajaí is an important part of our history, not only for its performance and achievements over these nine years but for being the first vessel operated by Altera&Ocyan,” highlights Bárbara Figueira, Operations Engineer of Cidade de Itajaí.

“Operating a mature field presents significant challenges. With a strong focus on maintenance and asset integrity, Karoon, in these first 15 months of operation, prioritized safety in operations and process plant integrity in partnership with A&O. The coming months will mark important milestones for the project, with a significant increase in production due to the well intervention campaign and the interconnection of the Patola accumulation,” evaluates Silvia Latorre, Operations Manager of Karoon.

“The FPSO stands out for exceptional operational uptime (efficiency rate) since the start of operations in 2013. In the last semester, for example, the asset showed an operational uptime of 99%,” recalls Thiago Rinaldi, Operations Manager of Cidade de Itajaí.

FPSO Cidade de Itajaí Was Built at the Jurong Shipyard in Singapore and Arrived in Brazil on December 29, 2012

Built at the Jurong shipyard in Singapore, the FPSO Cidade de Itajaí arrived in Brazil on December 29, 2012, and began operations on February 16, 2013. Since then, it has produced more than 18 million m³ of oil, equivalent to about 116 million barrels.

The vessel is capable of operating in water depths of up to 1,000 meters, has a production capacity of 80 thousand barrels of oil per day, and can compress 2 million cubic meters of gas per day.

Currently, it has a total of 105 offshore crew members, including Brazilians and expatriates, with a POB of approximately 70 people.

The Cidade de Itajaí is the first production unit operated by Altera&Ocyan, which also includes the FPSO Pioneiro de Libra, leased in the Mero Field and operated by Petrobras in the Libra Block, the largest pre-salt reserve in Brazil.

The FPSO Cidade de Itajaí has a firm contract until 2026. Considering the investments being made by Karoon, with the goal of increasing production, A&O already envisions the possibility of extending the partnership until 2027.

With billions in loans, China is rebuilding Nigeria’s railway network from scratch, abandoning the British colonial tracks that have turned to scrap and creating a corridor of over 1,300 km to take the load off the roads of Africa’s largest economy.

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.

China is building an artificial island in the middle of the sea, covering 20 km², to construct the largest offshore airport in the world, the Dalian Jinzhouwan. This $4.3 billion project is anchored on more than 3,000 pillars embedded in the rock beneath the ocean and is scheduled to open in 2035.

Forget petroleum-based asphalt: a Scottish company transforms 684,000 plastic bottles into one kilometer of road that is 60% more resistant and up to 10 times more durable, and the technology has already started replacing traditional asphalt in more than 30 countries.

Austrian engineers have developed an inflatable concrete technology that transforms flat slabs into domes using only air pressure, eliminating scaffolding and temporary forms, and potentially changing the way bridges, tunnels, and curved roofs are constructed worldwide.

A robot named Walter does the work of five bricklayers per hour and can save the construction industry, where the average age of professionals is 46 years and almost no one wants to learn the trade anymore, in the United Kingdom.

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.

Junqueirópolis will have R$ 164.7 million for basic sanitation until 2060, with projects to reduce water losses, expand networks, and modernize sewage treatment in the municipality.

The most famous space telescope of humanity will cross the sky of Brazil this Wednesday (27) in just four minutes, the Hubble passes at an altitude of 537 kilometers and can be seen with the naked eye, but the observation window is tiny.

A construction worker found a fanny pack with R$ 150,000 in cash in the bathroom of a convenience store in Florida, spent days looking for the owner, and when he finally found them, the reward came in the form of a hug and tears.

The largest meat cooperative in Brazil estimates that it would need to hire an additional 11,000 workers on top of the current 51,000 just to produce slightly less than today, if Congress approves the end of the 6×1 schedule and the 40-hour workweek.
