Petrobras Confirms High Productivity in Jupiter, But Says Area Located in Pre-Salt of Santos Basin Requires Innovative Technologies for Commercial Production

Petrobras has completed formation tests in an exploration area of the pre-salt called Jupiter, located in the Santos Basin, as reported by Reuters this Friday (09/04). The results confirmed the potential for “excellent productivity” of the asset, as the field contains “high value-added” oil.

According to Petrobras, the formation tests conducted were responsible for analyzing the carbonate reservoirs of the pre-salt in the Apollonia well (3-BRSA-1246-RJS), located about 295 km off the coast of Rio de Janeiro, in a water depth of 2,183 meters.

High Gas-Oil Ratio and Elevated CO2 Content in the Asset Requires Application of Technological Innovations from Petrobras for Commercial Production

Despite the high productivity observed in the asset of the pre-salt of the Santos Basin, it will be necessary to develop modern techniques to declare commercial viability, as the region presents a high gas-oil ratio and elevated CO2 content, requiring the application of innovative technologies for its commercial production.

Therefore, Petrobras will use samples obtained from the tests to validate an HISEP (High Pressure Separation) technology, developed and patented by the company itself.

According to Petrobras, HISEP has the potential to enable the pilot project for the development of production in the Jupiter field, as well as other projects with high gas-oil ratios and elevated CO2 content, allowing exploratory openings for opportunities in the deep and ultra-deep water portfolio of the pre-salt.

About the Jupiter Field in the Pre-Salt of the Santos Basin

Petrobras is the operator of the area, holding an 80% stake, with the remaining 20% belonging to Petrogal Brasil. The Jupiter field is part of the BM-S-24 concession in the pre-salt of the Santos Basin.

The total recoverable volume estimated for this field is 130 million barrels of oil equivalent (boe).

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The James Webb telescope spotted a planet 700 light-years from Earth with mornings full of sand clouds and nights with clear skies, the temperature difference between the two hemispheres reaches an impressive 170 degrees.

The coastal El Niño is not the classic El Niño, but it already raises a question in Brazil: can the phenomenon alter rain, heat, and winter?

The commander of the Brazilian Army publicly admitted that the country now perceives real threats in South America, something that, according to him, did not exist in the past, and advocates for the increasing use of drones and technology to secure the borders.

Brazil will harvest a record crop of up to 357 million tons of grains, but it does not have the capacity to store a large part of it. The storage deficit has reached the highest level in history and is equivalent to almost the entire production of Argentina.

Scientists considered detonating 213 nuclear bombs in the Sahara to create an artificial sea the size of El Salvador, with each explosion being a hundred times more powerful than the Hiroshima bomb, and the goal was to generate more energy than Egypt’s largest hydroelectric plant.
