The Contract Between Petrobras And Fugro

The maintenance concession between Petrobras and Fugro follows the successful conclusion of a previous four-year contract for similar services aboard the same vessel. During the previous contract, Fugro reported that it performed over 20,000 hours of successful ROV operations for Petrobras, helping to unlock Geo-data insights on the condition of existing assets and the surrounding environment for oil and gas operations.

Rogério Carvalho, Country Manager of Fugro Brazil, states that the company is very pleased to receive this latest maintenance contract, which once again demonstrates our commitment to customer focus. Our proven delivery excellence, combined with the fuel efficiency of the Fugro Aquarius, allowed us to present a highly competitive commercial offer that meets all the technical requirements of the tender, says Rogério.

The company previously carried out a four-year maintenance assignment for Petrobras for similar services from the same vessel, clocking over 20,000 hours of ROV operations and providing insights into the condition of various offshore facilities.

The Fugro Aquarius is 83 m (272 ft) long and was primarily designed for offshore work in Brazil. It is said that its diesel-electric propulsion minimizes noise and carbon emissions, while its DP system ensures navigation in a wide range of sea and wind conditions.

Petrobras announced that it has signed a letter of intent with SBM Offshore for the charter of the FPSO Alexandre de Gusmão, which will be the fourth production unit of the Mero field, the first production-sharing area in the pre-salt of the Santos Basin. The charter contract is for 22 years, and production is expected to start in 2025.

The FPSO will be the fourth platform of the definitive system of the Mero field in the pre-salt of the Santos Basin, with a processing capacity of 180,000 barrels of oil and 12 million m3 of gas per day. Production start-up is scheduled for 2025. The charter and service contracts will last for 22 years and six months, counted from the final acceptance of the unit.

The Petrobras and SBM Offshore project provides for the interconnection of 15 wells to the FPSO, including 8 oil producers, 6 water and gas injectors, and 1 convertible well from producer to gas injector, through subsea infrastructure made up of rigid production and injection pipelines and flexible service lines.

A giant printer called the “Ferrari” of concrete has landed in Latin America and can already build a 120-square-meter house in just 48 hours, making the traditional construction site look like something from the last century.

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.

Four times faster than the Concorde, capable of taking passengers from New York to London in less than an hour at Mach 5.5, and with an engine that switches from turbojet to ramjet mid-flight at Mach 3.5, the Hermeus Quarterhorse went from paper to its first flight in just 19 months.

Under nearly 2 kilometers of ice in Antarctica, scientists have discovered an ancient landscape sculpted by rivers up to 60 million years ago, the size of Wales, preserved as a time capsule that could help predict the advance of ice towards the ocean.

She started by collecting oyster shells from restaurants and today she has already accumulated more than 10 tons to restore reefs, recover coastal habitats, and demonstrate how a common waste can become a tool for ocean conservation.

SpaceX will dock a $843 million vehicle to the International Space Station to push a nearly 420-ton laboratory against the atmosphere and make the debris fall in a controlled manner into the ocean.

For the economist José Kobori, the USA gained a trump card to “blackmail” Brazil and undermine China’s influence by classifying the PCC and Comando Vermelho as terrorists, increasing the power to pressure companies, banks, and even Pix.

The labor shortage has changed its face in Brazil: companies hire 80% more, but workers stay only 6.8 months in the job, the service market becomes a “revolving door,” and businesses spend increasingly more to train teams that soon leave.
