The Integration Will Be Done at the Brazilian Shipyard Jurong Aracruz, in Espírito Santo. Petrobras Announces That the Works Have Already Been Started

Petrobras hired the Chinese shipyard CIMC Raffles to convert the hull of the FPSO P-71, which will be used for production in the Sururu field, in the Santos Basin, which is not even in the exploration and production plans. The bidding process had already been done last year (2017) and is already being handled at the Chinese shipyard. The good side of the story is that at least the integration will be done on Brazilian soil, at the Jurong Aracruz shipyard, in Espírito Santo.

At the beginning of the project, the hull intended for this unit was requested by Petrobras from Ecovix, which at the time ended up winning the bid to produce 8 hulls for replicant FPSOs from the pre-salt, but due to financial imbalance issues and some of its shareholders under investigation and jailed by Lava Jato, the state-owned company ended up aborting this contract, ruining the hulls that had already been built. Ecovix was forced to sell the hulls that were already ready as scrap.

The Sururu asset was won by Petrobras in the 3rd round of bidding held by ANP, which is part of the BM-S-11 exploration block. Both the Northern Sururu and Southern Sururu areas were declared fully commercial and are part of the state-owned company’s onerous regime. In November 2017, when the bidding was taking place far from Brazilian soil, Ecovix tried to make a deal with Petrobras to return to activities and works at the shipyard arising from this contract in Rio Grande-RS. The proposal did not please Petrobras and the international bidding was maintained.

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.

The probe that passed by Saturn nearly 20 years ago captured something that no one expected — and only now have scientists deciphered complex organic molecules coming from an ocean hidden beneath the ice.

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.
