Para que a Petrobras pudesse utilizar todo o gás natural que sai do pré-sal, que atualmente é reinjetado, seria necessário mais terminais para escoar o combustível até a costa brasileira

In Order for Petrobras to Use All the Natural Gas Coming from the Pre-Salt, Which Is Currently Being Re-injected, More Terminals Would Be Needed to Transport the Fuel to the Brazilian Coast

Pre-Salt: Petrobras informed in a relevant fact last Thursday that it will increase the operational capacity of the liquefied natural gas regasification terminal in Guanabara Bay, Rio de Janeiro, to 30 million m³ per day.

Although Brazil is re-injecting about 45% of the gas that comes from the pre-salt, the increase in liquefied natural gas regasification capacity by Petrobras will be to import the fuel, since the LNG from the pre-salt wells has not been economically viable.

When the imported LNG arrives by ship, it needs to be regasified.

Despite Petrobras’ plan to liquidate the remaining 37.5% position in BR Distribuidora’s capital, the company could acquire 50% of Golar Power, as part of the partnership that BR is negotiating with Golar to operate in the distribution of liquefied natural gas (LNG).

According to the document, Petrobras Distribuidora has the option to buy 50% of the shares of Golar Distribuidora, which intends to enter the LNG distribution market in Brazil.

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.

New noise radar starts to penalize irregular exhaust, excessive sound, and modified vehicles, and the technology is already changing the enforcement of noisy motorcycles and cars in Taiwan.

The probe that passed by Saturn nearly 20 years ago captured something that no one expected — and only now have scientists deciphered complex organic molecules coming from an ocean hidden beneath the ice.

Before mining the ocean floor, scientists found 24 unknown creatures at 4,000 meters — including an entire superfamily that science had never seen before.

In the asteroid belt, an “impossible comet” is releasing water vapor where it shouldn’t exist, and the James Webb telescope has revealed that primordial ice has survived for billions of years in a region that could rewrite the origin of water on Earth.

Mercedes has created an electric motor with over 1,000 horsepower that weighs only 12.7 kilograms — less than a suitcase and with the highest power density ever recorded.

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.
