Petrobras Gas Discovery Boosts Outlook for Development of New Exploration and Production Frontier in Colombia.

On July 29, Petrobras announced in a material fact to the market the discovery of a natural gas accumulation in the exploratory well Uchuva-1, drilled in deep waters off the Colombian coast, 32 kilometers from shore and 76 kilometers from the city of Santa Marta, at a water depth of approximately 830 meters.

The Uchuva-1 well was drilled in the Tayrona Block, with Petrobras as the operator (44.44% stake), in partnership with Ecopetrol, which holds a 55.56% stake.

According to Petrobras, this discovery is a result of the consortium’s efforts to enhance the use of data through the application of new technological solutions in geology and geophysics, combined with expertise in deep-water operations.

Tayrona Block Is Part of Petrobras’ Portfolio Focused on Exploration of Deep and Ultra-Deep Water Assets.

The Tayrona Block is included in Petrobras’ portfolio for active management, and the opening of this new frontier is aligned with the company’s strategic pillar of maximizing its value with a focus on exploration of deep and ultra-deep water assets.

The results achieved increase the outlook for the development of new exploration and production frontiers in Colombia.

The consortium will continue activities in the Tayrona Block, aiming to evaluate the dimensions of the new gas accumulation.

Gasoline Prices Plummet in Brazil and Stand 16.7% Below the Global Average, Excluding New Reductions from Petrobras

The reduction of taxes was the most significant factor in lowering gasoline prices. After Caio Paes de Andrade’s entry along with government charges, the price of gasoline dropped by R$ 0.20 and indicated that it would continue to decrease in the coming weeks.

The drop in price is around 16.7% compared to the global average. According to data recorded by Global Petrol, the average price of gasoline in the world is about US$1.44, while in Brazil, the price drops to the equivalent of US$1.119.

Abicom reported that the price was similar to import levels, all due to the reduction of prices at Petrobras refineries.

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.

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.

BRICS is preparing a payment system inspired by the Brazilian PIX that will allow direct transactions between countries using national digital currencies without relying on the dollar or Western banks as intermediaries.

The SUS waiting list for surgeries has more people than the entire population of six countries.

Brazilians spend more hours in traffic each year than on vacation.

São Paulo and the Atacama are at the same latitude: what separates a metropolis of 22 million people from a desert is a forest 3,000 km away.
