The New Vessel From Ocyan Oil and Gas for the Decommissioning of Petrobras Is Expected to Begin Operations Still in January

The oil and gas company Ocyan recently announced the arrival in Brazilian waters of the new vessel from Solstad, the Normand Cutter, which will carry out decommissioning activities for some subsea components of Petrobras in the Campos Basin (Rio de Janeiro) and Sergipe-Alagoas, under a contract signed in 2022.

According to André Luiz Magalhães, Executive Manager of Submarine Construction at Ocyan Oil and Gas: “This is the first decommissioning contract for offshore production fields in Brazil, and we can say that we are at the forefront of this activity in our national production chain. The experience we will gain from the project will provide us with great expertise. This project marks Ocyan’s return to the subsea construction sector. We envision a promising future with new opportunities in other companies, including international operators.”

The Normand Cutter is an offshore construction vessel (OCV) for decommissioning, measuring 127.5 meters in length and equipped with a crane that has a capacity of lifting 300 tons, as well as a flexible pipe lay system of up to 100 tons.

Origin of the Ocyan Decommissioning Vessel

The decommissioning vessel was in Norway, from where it departed for Scotland, where the pipe retrieval and lay systems were installed. It then began its journey to Brazil on December 12, 2022.

Starting in the second half of January 2023, the vessel will conduct its first campaign to retrieve equipment in the Campos Basin, where it will operate for two weeks and unload the structures in Vitória (ES) for Petrobras.

At the end of this first stage, still in Espírito Santo, it will complete the final stage of installing the equipment, reels, and storage spools for flexible pipes, necessary for the continuation of Petrobras’s project.

A giant printer called the “Ferrari” of concrete has landed in Latin America and can already build a 120-square-meter house in just 48 hours, making the traditional construction site look like something from the last century.

Great Atlantic Sargassum Belt has ceased to be a climatic phenomenon and has become a biological system that feeds on itself, with 8,000 kilometers in length, 37 million tons of algae, and scientists confirm that it is now permanent.

Brazil will harvest a record crop of up to 357 million tons of grains, but it does not have the capacity to store a large part of it. The storage deficit has reached the highest level in history and is equivalent to almost the entire production of Argentina.

Philippines begin construction of the country’s largest desalination plant in a city without enough fresh water to grow, and the 66,500 m³ per day plant will transform the sea into drinking water for 50,000 homes in 24 months with reverse osmosis technology from SUEZ and JEMCO.

Turkey is building a billion-dollar shortcut to channel billions of dollars by sea with a 45 km long canal, 275 meters wide and 20.75 meters deep, which promises to relieve the Bosphorus amid the crisis in the Strait of Hormuz.

China presents the country’s first robot capable of harvesting fresh grains in the field with a success rate of over 90%, using computer vision and robotic arms with force sensors that grasp delicate pods without damaging them even amidst dense vegetation.

Dealerships in Brazil are starting to bet more on Chinese cars after seeing margins of R$ 80,000, lower initial investment, and a market that could gain 2,000 new stores.

A series of discoveries in Turkey is turning upside down what was known about the beginning of Christianity, and the jewel of these excavations is an 1,800-year-old fresco that reveals the face of a young, beardless Jesus, hidden in a sealed tomb in the city of the historic Council of Nicaea.

While Silicon Valley creates robots to fold clothes and make coffee, a company with Eric Trump as an advisor is betting on humanoids for dangerous and lethal tasks, having already received $24 million in contracts and aiming to surpass China.
