Petrobras in the Fight Against Coronavirus

The company reaffirms that it has spared no effort to combat the new coronavirus, which affects not only the company but the entire country and the world. The company is responsible for providing essential services, such as the supply of fuels and energy that power ambulances, hospitals, and cargo and transport vehicles.

Thus, it has adopted measures to protect the health of its employees, mitigate the spread of the virus within the company, and ensure the safe continuity of essential activities for the entire Brazilian society.

The measures taken by Petrobras are among the most stringent adopted in the oil sector. We also work with service-providing companies to ensure that the same measures are implemented.

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.

China inaugurates a 24 km monster that is a bridge, tunnel, and museum at the same time — and 90,000 cars pass through it every day.

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.

Impacts of tensions in the Middle East: how the rise in oil prices is transforming infrastructure contracts in Brazil, raising prices, delaying schedules, and exposing billion-dollar fragility in the sector.
