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.

MME Releases Data on Covid-19

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

James Webb finds a deformed lemon-shaped planet orbiting a dead star, with an atmosphere of helium and carbon, soot and carbon clouds that could turn into diamond in the depths; composition defies everything scientists expected from a Jupiter-sized world.

The James Webb telescope detected the climate of a planet 280 light-years from Earth, with days hot enough to forge iron and nights covered by dense clouds, where winds reach 8,000 km/h.

China is equipping a scientific base in the heart of Antarctica with solar, wind, hydrogen, and battery power to operate even during the polar night in the Ross Sea.

A British company installed Japan’s first megawatt-scale tidal turbine under the Naru Strait, generating clean electricity from the predictable force of the tides, without relying on wind or sun.

End of bricklayers laying brick by brick: compact robots use AI, carry bricks and mortar, pass through doors, work in teams, and are already building real facades in Europe.
