© 2023: Board Approves Participation in Permanent Offer Blocks in West Africa Targeting Upstream Segment.

Petrobras reported that the Board approved the company’s operations in São Tomé and Príncipe, on the west coast of Africa, to facilitate the acquisition of stakes in 3 exploratory blocks through a competitive process conducted by Shell.

The transaction is within the scope of the Memorandum of Understanding signed by the CEOs of Petrobras and Shell, Jean-Paul Prates and Wael Sawan, to identify business opportunities between the companies in the upstream segment – such as the joint acquisition of 29 exploratory blocks in the Pelotas Basin in the 4th Cycle of Permanent Offer of Concession that took place on 12/13/2023, demonstrating Petrobras’s expansion in various locations.

The entire acquisition process of the blocks in São Tomé and Príncipe was conducted in accordance with Petrobras’s internal procedures and governance, ensuring compliance with its Strategic Plan 2024-2028+ (SP 2024-28+).

The approval of local regulatory bodies is the next step to finalize this transaction, which represents an important milestone for Petrobras and its operations on the west coast of Africa.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Spain installs two giant pipelines 2.2 km off the coast to draw water from the Mediterranean and supply a megafacility capable of producing 200 million liters of drinking water per day.

Without wheels, iron, or machines, teams of up to 32 men would have dragged 2.3-ton blocks over wet sand up a ramp embedded in the pyramid itself, raising the structure in 20 to 27 years, according to a new computer model that reignites a millennia-old debate.

American donated US$ 5,000 to a Chinese farmer to plant trees in the desert, and decades later the money turned into a forest with more than 50,000 trees.

The United States purchased for $125 million a ship that Shell used for drilling oil in the Arctic, spent another $25 million refurbishing it, and renamed it Storis because the largest economy on the planet can no longer build an icebreaker on its own.

Carnivorous dinosaur in China left footprints at just 1 km/h and surprised researchers in the field with more than 5,000 tracks preserved for over 100 million years.

The largest car carrier ship in the world will unload 7,200 BYD cars at the SC Port in June, but before that, an Italian ship will arrive this Tuesday with another 4,500 vehicles, totaling 11,700 cars, 150 workers, and a 24-hour non-stop operation at the Port of Itajaí.
