Normal Procedure on Any Production Platform, Including Petrobras Units, Gas Flaring Occurs When It Is Not Possible to Process It for Safety Reasons or Excess

The CPG received a video about a supposed Petrobras platform on fire, the Cherne-2, a fixed production platform that incorporates the Congro, Cherne, and Malhado fields in the Campos Basin. Perhaps due to never having seen it, the oil worker who recorded the video did not know that the huge smoke plume that appeared over the unit was a common maneuver. Watch the video below:

Read What the State Company Says About Gas Flaring: ” The flaring of part of the natural gas produced is inherent to the oil industry and occurs for safety reasons (flare pilot of production facilities), at the beginning of platform operations (during the commissioning phase of its compression plant and export pipeline) and during maintenance shutdowns, as well as in temporary emergency situations or operational limitations.” taken from the article: Gas Flaring: Letter to Globo.

It is worth noting that this flaring is not limited to offshore production units. These natural gas flares are necessary in production systems both offshore and onshore, as well as in processing plants and refineries.

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.

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.

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.

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.

At 4,400 meters of altitude in the Himalayas, where the air is so thin it makes breathing difficult, India’s state oil company drilled a thousand meters of rock to reach a 240-degree subsoil and set up the country’s first geothermal plant.

Again the Chinese: China becomes the first country to mass-produce the world’s strongest carbon fiber

Renault 4 electric gets Plein Sud version with a fabric roof that opens 92 cm, starting at €37,290 and featuring 28 driving assistants in a nostalgic bid to drive in the open air without sacrificing interior space.

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.

MIT prototype uses AI, camera, and electrical muscle stimulation to help a person draw, play simple notes, and perform technical gestures with their hand.
