Replan, Petrobras’ Paulínia Refinery, Achieved a Mark of 1,356,851 m³ of Pre-salt Oil Processing in November

Petrobras informed in a relevant fact this morning (12/11) that its largest refinery, Replan (Paulínia Refinery), reached a new record of pre-salt oil processing in November, reaching the mark of 1,356,851 m³, equivalent to 74% of the total oil processed that month.

According to the announcement, in the previous record, from October of this year, Replan had registered 1,316,876 m³ of pre-salt oils processed, which represented 68% of the load.

Among the pre-salt oils processed in November at Replan, the notable oils include Búzios, Sapinhoá, Tupi, and Atapu. The oil production from the pre-salt layer has increased considerably in recent years and contributed to the lower processing of imported light oils, as the pre-salt oils are lighter than the oils from the post-salt fields.

About Petrobras’ Paulínia Refinery

Replan has the capacity to process 69 million liters of oil per day, the largest in Petrobras’ refining park. The main products produced are diesel, gasoline, aviation kerosene (QAV), liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), fuel oils, asphalts, coke, and propylene.

The production from Replan accounts for approximately 20% of all oil refining in Brazil, processing almost the entirety of national oil, much of which comes from the Santos Basin (pre-salt).

The Paulínia Refinery began its operational activities on February 2, 1972, three months before its inauguration. At that time, about 20 thousand cubic meters of oil per day (126 thousand barrels) were processed.

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.

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 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.

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.

Rice in space becomes a scientific bet for China to understand how microgravity can alter the genetics of the most important grain for Asian food security and reveal if future generations of the plant can be born, grow, and maintain their biological identity away from Earth.

How much would a Toyota Hilux cost without tax in Brazil? A diesel pickup truck priced at R$ 250,000 could drop to around R$ 127,000, showing why pickup trucks have become a luxury product in the country.

Windows without a prison-like appearance gain momentum in 2026 and promise to completely transform residential facades with more natural lighting, discreet security, increased property value, and a modern look without the burden of the old iron bars that dominated Brazilian homes for decades.

The largest precious metals mine under construction in the world is situated on a layer of ore 25 times thicker than common mines in South Africa, and has just connected a third shaft that will quintuple the extraction of platinum, palladium, and gold.
