During Your Participation in the OTC 2022 Event, State-Owned Petrobras Took the Opportunity to Highlight the Potential of Pre-Salt Oil within the Energy Transition Scenario That the Global Market Is Experiencing

Petrobras took advantage of the Offshore Technology Conference – OTC 2022, which took place this Tuesday (03/05), to discuss the current scenario of the energy transition in the global market. Thus, the company highlighted the oil produced in pre-salt areas as the major focal point of this moment, since the material has a low carbon emission into the atmosphere, which does not occur with the conventional production of this resource.

First Day of OTC 2022 Features Petrobras Presentation on the Importance of Pre-Salt Oil for the Energy Transition Happening in the Global Market

An increasingly present discussion in nations around the world is the energy transition and the ways countries can make it a closer reality. Thus, state-owned Petrobras took advantage of the first day of OTC 2022 to demonstrate how pre-salt oil can be important in developing this initiative. The Brazilian company gained significant attention in the early moments of the event due to its strong arguments regarding the raw material.

The oil produced from pre-salt areas significantly reduces the emission of pollutants like carbon into the atmosphere. Therefore, the encouragement of producing this resource is an essential part of making the energy transition in Brazil and worldwide possible. Petrobras emphasized that the current scenario of the oil and gas industry is already seeking alternatives that result in lower carbon emissions and that, with the right investments, the pre-salt can become the largest source of production and exploration of this resource in the coming years.

Common Oil Barrel Has Up to 70% More Carbon Emission Compared to Oil Extracted from the Pre-Salt, According to the State-Owned Company

Still within its presentation at the OTC event, Petrobras took the opportunity to present significant numbers regarding the relevance of pre-salt oil within the energy transition. Thus, the company demonstrated that the production of just one barrel of common oil in Brazil has up to 70% more carbon emissions when compared to the production of the same amount of oil extracted from the pre-salt. And, with this, investment in this type of exploration will ensure even more environmental commitment for the country.

Therefore, the Director of Institutional Relations and Sustainability at Petrobras, Rafael Chaves, commented that “The future of the oil and gas industry has already begun with investments in the pre-salt characterized by lower carbon emissions per volume produced. If we do not deliver a barrel of oil produced from the pre-salt, with low emissions, another barrel will be delivered with emissions averaging 70% higher.”

The state-owned company also remarked that the future of the global industry does not present a better alternative than oil for producing various products. Thus, Petrobras believes that the best way to proceed with production more sustainably is to seek less aggressive alternatives to the environment, such as pre-salt in the energy transition.

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.

Bricklayers off the scaffolding? New system uses autonomous drones to position bricks and apply adhesive in the air, creating walls with two flying robots working as a team.

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.

China has ceased to be just a factory for cheap products and now challenges health giants: Chinese laboratories are advancing in medicines, while other countries recalculate their medical dependence.

Scientists from the USA have buried two seismometers in Antarctica at a depth of about 2.4 km under the ice, the deepest ever recorded, and are using the IceCube observatory structure to enhance earthquake monitoring, tsunami alerts, and nuclear test surveillance.

A photo taken by chance in the interior of Australia rediscovered a plant that the entire world had considered extinct for sixty years.
