According to the Ministry of Mines and Energy (MME), the stoppages of the oil platforms in the Búzios and Tupi fields have reduced oil production

The Ministry of Mines and Energy reported that oil production from the Búzios and Tupi fields fell in February. According to Bento Albuquerque, minister of the MME, the P-74 platform and the reduction of the FPSO Cidade de Maricá platform in the Tupi oil field and in the Búzios field showed a drop in oil and natural gas production, at 1.71% and 3.94%, respectively.

According to the weekly Covid-19 monitoring report released by the MME, Petrobras’ refineries saw a decrease in utilization factor at the end of last week, after starting the week rising.

The announcement from the MME indicated that, over the last weekend, the average refining price fell to 77.7% after reaching 80% in previous weeks. In the analysis of the first two days of February this year compared to the same period last year, sales of aviation kerosene continued to decline sharply (-42.3%), a trend that has been ongoing since the beginning of the pandemic due to reduced travel.

Oil Production

Tupi Field: The Tupi field, which was renamed in September 2020 from the Lula field (for legal reasons), is an oil field located in the Santos Basin off the coast of the state of Rio de Janeiro. Production is between 5 and 8 billion barrels of high-quality oil, or relatively light oil, in addition to associated natural gas.

Búzios Field: The largest deepwater oil field in the world, it is a world-class asset with high-quality oil, substantial reserves, low risk, and low extraction costs. It is located 180 km off the Brazilian coast and more than 5,000 meters deep. It has an area of 850 km², with reservoir thicknesses of up to 480 meters and excellent reservoir rock quality. The more than 45 wells drilled so far confirm the excellent production and quality of the reservoir.

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.

The backhoe digs a large pool at 6 meters and opens a giant water fountain: sand rises from the bottom, drains with pipes and gravel hold, and the flow reaches 110 thousand liters per hour, nonstop.

Oil drives Brazil’s GDP and repositions the country among the largest economies in the world.

Science discovers that the air is not empty as it seems, but rather a gigantic natural archive that stores DNA of animals, plants, and humans without anyone noticing.

Ocean warming spikes in 2026 even without El Niño, approaches the record of 2024, and raises global alarm with the Arctic at its lowest ice level and an energy imbalance of the Earth at its highest in 65 years.

The seven-blade propeller could equip the M700 FURY aircraft, making it quieter and more efficient, after certification from EASA.

Oil drives Brazil’s GDP and repositions the country among the largest economies in the world.

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.
