With Completion Forecast For The First Quarter Of 2022. The Expectation Is That The Well Can Significantly Contribute To The Increase In Oil Production In The Region, Boosting The Local And National Economy.

The drillship responsible for drilling the Pitu Oeste well left Rio de Janeiro yesterday (12/05) heading to the location in Rio Grande do Norte. Drilling is scheduled to begin later this December in the BM-POT-17 concession, marking Petrobras’ return to the Equatorial Margin, which extends from Rio Grande do Norte to Amapá along the Brazilian coast.

Petrobras obtained an operating license from IBAMA in October 2023 for drilling exploratory wells in deep waters of the Potiguar Basin, in the Brazilian Equatorial Margin, as announced in a statement released by the Petrobras News Agency.

Under the same Environmental License, Petrobras plans to drill the Anhangá well in the POT-M-762 concession, 79km off the coast of the state of Rio Grande do Norte and near the Pitu Oeste well.

“Our Strategic Plan 2024-2028 includes an investment of US$ 3.1 billion in exploratory activities in the Equatorial Margin. This effort already reflects the confidence we have in the potential of this stretch of the Brazilian coastline, which is very promising and essential for ensuring the country’s energy security,” explained Jean Paul Prates, president of Petrobras.

Pitu Oeste will be the third well in the BM-POT-17 concession, and it is expected that drilling will last from 3 to 5 months. The last well in this concession was drilled in 2015. The rig contracted by Petrobras was in Guanabara Bay for hull cleaning and refueling.

“The Pitu Oeste well signifies the resumption of our activities in the Equatorial Margin and an exploratory campaign that we believe in, as it will further expand Petrobras’ activities to the northeast and north and help fund our energy transition,” stated Joelson Falcão Mendes, director of Exploration and Production at Petrobras.

Seven world powers including the US, China, and Russia are spending €22 billion on a reactor in the south of France that aims to confine plasma at 150 million degrees Celsius, ten times the temperature of the Sun’s core, using a magnetic field capable of lifting an entire aircraft carrier.

While Brazil has been discussing bullet trains for 16 years, China delivers 5 new high-speed lines in 2026, surpasses 50,000 km of HSR, and moves 1 billion passengers in a single year.

With a wingspan of 152 meters, 76 tires, and a capacity to carry 1,270 tons, the Boeing Pelican was the giant “flying ship” that promised to cross oceans close to the water on an invisible air cushion beneath its wings.

Elon Musk’s internet comes to mobile: Starlink technology connects smartphones without an antenna via satellite, works even without carrier signal, already costs just US$10 extra in the US, and could arrive in Brazil as an included benefit.

While countries spend billions to draw water from the sea, a Nobel-winning scientist creates a container-sized machine that extracts up to 1,000 liters per day from dry air and uses ultrasound to release water in minutes, even in the middle of the desert.

Belgium will sink 23 giant concrete caissons, each weighing 22,000 tons, in the North Sea to build the world’s first artificial energy island 45 km off the coast, forming offshore electrical walls.

In Niger, mud buildings have stood for ten generations while the world spends billions on concrete and steel, now African architects are proving at the Venice Biennale and in real projects that red earth can be the smartest and most sustainable building material of the 21st century.

Grey seal pups were appearing with terrifying marks on Sable Island, and after decades of speculation about sharks and boat propellers, scientists discovered that the danger came from where it was least expected: adult males of their own species during the breeding season.

People are leaving traditional builds that take months and can cost more than R$ 2,500 per sqm, to invest in shipping containers that become 119 sqm modular homes, with three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a large kitchen, and glass walls, almost ready to live on the plot.

New selection confirmed: The Merchant Marine Entrance Exam offers 368 vacancies for Officer training in 2027 with free course, online applications, and EFOMM’s national selection process.

Italy opens the Grottino del Campidoglio in Rome with 3,000 m² of tunnels sealed by Mussolini in 1929 and over $2.8 million in restoration after almost a century closed.
