Santos Basin Will Open Demand Elaborated by ANP Based on Operators’ Commitments.

According to the National Agency of Petroleum – ANP, 65 of the 250 wells will be drilled in the Santos Basin by operators next year. The remaining basins scheduled for development in 2020 are Potiguar (53), Sergipe (46), Campos (41), Espírito Santo (29), Recôncavo (13), Parnaíba (3), and Alagoas (3).

Petrobras operates almost half of the fields currently in development stage in the country. The most prominent fields among the 84 currently are the Santos Basin (22), Recôncavo (17), Potiguar (11), Campos (8), and Espírito Santo (5).

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.

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.

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.

Spain installs two giant pipelines 2.2 km off the coast to draw water from the Mediterranean and supply a megafacility capable of producing 200 million liters of drinking water per day.

Small, automatic, and reliable car for around R$ 50,000: Kia Picanto combines economy, structural safety, good internal quality, and durable mechanics, but tests show that it makes sense mainly for urban use and not for those who frequently drive on highways.

A Danish company has installed in the Canary Islands a pioneering system that uses the Atlantic waves to generate electricity and produce drinking water at the same time, without fossil fuels and without relying on sun or wind, addressing at once two of the greatest needs of isolated islands.

End of manual finishing in drywall: robots reduce deadlines by up to 60%, cut labor by about 40%, and bring AI, sensors, and cobots to a stage still dominated by physical effort in construction.

Owner of Brastemp bets on Brazil after closing factory in Argentina and moves new production stage to Rio Claro, where an investment of R$ 300 million is expected to create 200 direct jobs and up to 2,800 direct and indirect jobs in the local supply chain.

End of heavy manual drilling: three robots take over more than 9,000 holes in the Engelberg tunnel in Germany, working at a height of 7.5 meters and increasing precision in construction carried out with traffic in operation.
