The meeting between Jean Paul Prates and Irene at CERAWeek also brought important discussions about the oil company’s activities in foreign territory.

Through the activities of well Uchuva-1, drilled in deep waters, 32 km offshore and 76 km from the city of Santa Marta, indications of large reserves in the Colombian block were found in 2022.

Now, after the meeting of Prates with the minister of Mines and Energy of the country at CERAWeek, what is expected is a closer relationship between the countries in future oil and gas projects.

Elon Musk’s internet comes to mobile: Starlink technology connects smartphones without an antenna via satellite, works even without carrier signal, already costs just US$10 extra in the US, and could arrive in Brazil as an included benefit.

While countries spend billions to draw water from the sea, a Nobel-winning scientist creates a container-sized machine that extracts up to 1,000 liters per day from dry air and uses ultrasound to release water in minutes, even in the middle of the desert.

After 16 years and almost 600 prototypes, a Chinese inventor unveils the world’s smallest and cheapest manned jet, at just 3.80 meters long and costing US$7.2 thousand in materials.
