Petrobras Will Acquire More Than 540 Kilometers of Submarine Umbilicals in This Bidding

To move forward with its infrastructure projects and investments in the pre-salt, Petrobras recently initiated a new bidding process to obtain 545 kilometers of flexible submarine pipelines (umbilicals), with more than half under national local content.

The Development of the Bidding Will Occur in Two Stages:

Lot 1 – There will be 300.5 kilometers of cables, including equipment and logistical services
Lot 2 – Up to 244.9 kilometers will be obtained by the state company, including specifications for assembly, supervision, installation, storage, rental of spools among others within the contract portfolio.

According to the resolution of the National Agency of Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels (ANP), the local content for this bidding will be 55%. Learn how the Local Content Certification System works here. Offers will be collected by Petrobras and ANP from October 13 to 20.

This bidding is very similar to another recent one aimed at projects in Itapu and Marlim, with 566 kilometers of flexible pipelines at a cost of $1.24 billion.

Petrobras Drills Well in the Pre-Salt Campos Basin and Discovers More Hydrocarbons

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 the U.S. still faces limitations in deep space, China is developing unprecedented technology with strategic satellites that maintain communication with the far side of the Moon and aims for dominance by 2030.

In Botswana, a salt flat of up to 16,000 km² that was once an African megalake spends months as an absolute white desert, but during the rainy season it transforms into a shallow sea that reappears from nowhere and can be seen from space in the middle of southern Africa.

The Blood Falls of Antarctica hide a living ecosystem trapped under the ice for over 2 million years, where microbes survive without light, without oxygen, and without ever having seen the Sun.

Bavarian archaeologists unearthed a medieval skeleton that had an articulated iron hand in place of its left arm, and the discovery reveals that doctors were already creating sophisticated prosthetics over 500 years ago.

The CEO of Honor in Spain says that smartphones will change with AI, foldables, and even robot phones; the component crisis is making cheap models more expensive in 2026 and shifting the focus to premium.

Corn outside the window may dry out in May and June: rain will only last until the end of April, El Niño is still uncertain, and three waves of polar air may bring strong frosts as early as the second half of May.

The fifth Japanese brand tried to compete with Honda by offering more advanced motorcycles, including shaft drive and even V-twin engines. It shone on the tracks but failed in the mass market and was ultimately swallowed by its own rival.

It costs less than a Honda CG 160: The new motorcycle from Shineray has a 169.30 cc engine, 13.59 hp, 18-inch wheels, and costs R$ 13,490, excluding shipping; learn everything about the SHI 170.

China suspends meat imports from a slaughterhouse in Várzea Grande, and the market tries to panic: an analyst says that the ban is common, may affect only one batch, and does not lower cattle prices.

Goodbye classic tiles: solar tiles lead a sustainable European trend that transforms rooftops into sources of clean energy, reduces electricity costs, and redefines the future of modern construction on a global scale.

Oil at the center of global disputes and historical transformations

More than R$ 526 million generated in oil in 2025 was not enough to place Espírito Santo in the lead of innovation — and the data shows exactly where the bottleneck is.

With salaries of up to R$ 30,000 and 2,500 open positions, a shipyard in Aracruz (ES) is at the center of a billion-dollar project by Petrobras that involves platforms capable of producing 225,000 barrels per day.

Impacts of tensions in the Middle East: how the rise in oil prices is transforming infrastructure contracts in Brazil, raising prices, delaying schedules, and exposing billion-dollar fragility in the sector.
