According to Petrobras, in the first quarter of 2020, the average daily oil production of the Whale Park was 222 thousand barrels

Petrobras reached the mark of 1 billion barrels of oil produced in the area named Whale Park, in the Campos Basin. The announcement was made by the state-owned company on the afternoon of May 20, in its official news vehicle. Petrobras Donates 1 Million Reais and Helps SENAI in Recovering Lung Ventilators

The mark resulted from the oil production of the Jubarte, Dwarf Whale, Cachalote, Caxaréu, and Pirambú fields, which are located in the Campos Basin, offshore, south of Espírito Santo.

Following the announcement made on May 11, 2020, Petrobras reported that it began on Saturday (May 16) the Long Duration Test (LDT) in the area of the Forno Discovery Assessment Plan, in the Albacora oil field, located in the pre-salt of the Campos Basin.

According to Petrobras, the test is being conducted at well 3-AB-125-RJS (3-BRSA-1123-RJS), located approximately 120 kilometers off the coast of Rio de Janeiro.

This will be the first Long Duration Test conducted in the pre-salt of the Albacora field.

The state-owned company states that the Long Duration Test aims to evaluate the reservoir’s behavior during production and the characteristics of its oil.

The technical information collected during the testing phase will support the complementary development of the field, which is part of the Albacora revitalization project, of which Forno is a part.

“Having a reserve in this area of the pre-salt, below the post-salt reservoir, is important because it opens up a perspective for the field and its revitalization,” said Carlos Alberto Pereira de Oliveira, Petrobras’s Exploration & Production Director, in a statement.

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 the U.S. still faces limitations in deep space, China is developing unprecedented technology with strategic satellites that maintain communication with the far side of the Moon and aims for dominance by 2030.

In Botswana, a salt flat of up to 16,000 km² that was once an African megalake spends months as an absolute white desert, but during the rainy season it transforms into a shallow sea that reappears from nowhere and can be seen from space in the middle of southern Africa.

The Blood Falls of Antarctica hide a living ecosystem trapped under the ice for over 2 million years, where microbes survive without light, without oxygen, and without ever having seen the Sun.

Bavarian archaeologists unearthed a medieval skeleton that had an articulated iron hand in place of its left arm, and the discovery reveals that doctors were already creating sophisticated prosthetics over 500 years ago.

The CEO of Honor in Spain says that smartphones will change with AI, foldables, and even robot phones; the component crisis is making cheap models more expensive in 2026 and shifting the focus to premium.

Before mining the ocean floor, scientists found 24 unknown creatures at 4,000 meters — including an entire superfamily that science had never seen before.

In the asteroid belt, an “impossible comet” is releasing water vapor where it shouldn’t exist, and the James Webb telescope has revealed that primordial ice has survived for billions of years in a region that could rewrite the origin of water on Earth.

Mercedes has created an electric motor with over 1,000 horsepower that weighs only 12.7 kilograms — less than a suitcase and with the highest power density ever recorded.

At over 8 meters tall and resembling a trunk, this creature dominated the Earth 400 million years before the dinosaurs — and science still doesn’t know what it was.

Oil at the center of global disputes and historical transformations

More than R$ 526 million generated in oil in 2025 was not enough to place Espírito Santo in the lead of innovation — and the data shows exactly where the bottleneck is.

With salaries of up to R$ 30,000 and 2,500 open positions, a shipyard in Aracruz (ES) is at the center of a billion-dollar project by Petrobras that involves platforms capable of producing 225,000 barrels per day.
