The FPSO Cidade do Rio de Janeiro Halted Its Operations with Petrobras in 2018 and Modec Has Been Conducting the Decommissioning of the Unit Since Then

MODEC informed that, on February 18, 2020, the FPSO Cidade do Rio de Janeiro MV14, operated by Petrobras in the Campos Basin for over a decade, was towed and left Brazilian territorial waters heading to its final destination abroad. The FPSO will be recycled, and the process will follow the safety and environmental recommendations of the Hong Kong International Convention, which is a multilateral convention for the safe and environmentally sound recycling of ships.

In preparation for this movement, MODEC has been conducting cleaning and repair activities for the FPSO at Jurong Aracruz Shipyard in Espírito Santo since December 2019. MODEC followed all the steps of the process defined by the competent authorities.

The decommissioning process was already underway when the hull cracked, spilling oil into the sea at the Espadarte Field (recall the case here). It was decided by the companies that the FPSO would be towed to EJA.

The oldest tree in the world, alive since before the birth of Jesus Christ, is cut down in a scientific study and the case changes environmental preservation rules.

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 in Brazil a 10-story building takes 2 years to complete, in China a company stacks pre-fabricated modules and raises the entire building in just 28 hours and 45 minutes.

An entire island in the Pacific wants to surround itself with a colossal barrier against the ocean to try to escape increasingly violent waves and not be swallowed by the sea in the coming decades.

After ten days orbiting the Moon, science confirms that the astronauts of the Artemis II mission return with altered bodies.

With 7.4 trillion tons of artificial snow pumped in 10 years, an extreme operation could stabilize the West Antarctic ice sheet and prevent a sea level rise of more than 3 meters, but it would require snow cannons, ocean water, and energy on an almost industrial scale at the end of the world.

Peru built a tunnel at an altitude of 4,738 meters cutting through the Andes Mountains, and the road leading to it reaches 4,818 meters, making it the highest paved road in the entire world.

A drone that flies, dives to 40 meters, resurfaces next to the target, and attacks in swarms transforms Belgium into a pioneer of a hybrid weapon that crosses sky and ocean undetected.

With breathtaking views, a pilot embarks on a journey aboard a Cessna Caravan, facing extreme altitude and operational challenges while flying over Afghanistan for the first time.

Climate turnaround in Brazil brings rain of up to 260 mm, heat of 36°C, and the arrival of the first cold with a risk of frost at the end of April, impacting various regions.

Amazon is not joking around: it launches the Fire TV Stick HD, 30% thinner and 30% faster with Wi-Fi 6 and AI-powered Alexa, as well as 4K QLED TVs that are 38 mm thick with up to 2,000 works.

Called Super Mario, the businessman leaves his life on land, spends 25 years living on Royal Caribbean cruises, and spends $100,000 a year to live in a cabin with a balcony in the middle of the sea.

Iran said that the Strait of Hormuz is open, but in practice only 1 non-Iranian oil tanker managed to cross in 24 hours — before the blockade, 100 ships passed per day.

Petrobras completes 1,300 hours of work and 15 km of subsea lines to connect the Búzios 90 well to the P-79 — the platform is ready to produce 180,000 barrels per day and is just awaiting ANP approval.

Iran declares the Strait of Hormuz completely open this Friday, and the price of oil plummets nearly 10% in a few hours — the largest drop since the beginning of the conflict.

While the world was paying more for fuel, the 100 largest oil companies on the planet raked in an extra $23 billion in just 30 days of blockage in the Strait of Hormuz.

Petrobras buys 75% of Oranto and becomes the operator of block 3 in São Tomé and Príncipe, resuming its strategy in Africa to diversify its portfolio and replenish oil and gas reserves.
