Petrobras Discovery In The Region Equates To One-Third Of Current Brazilian Production And Investments In The Area And Gas Pipeline Construction Should Exceed R$ 2 Billion

Petrobras announced its largest discovery since the rich Pre-salt reserves were announced in 2006. The announcement refers to six fields in Sergipe and Alagoas.
The reserves are estimated at about 20 million m³ per day of natural gas, which represents about one-third of current Brazilian production.

The discovery places the states of Sergipe and Alagoas in the upper echelons of gas producers, as the cheapest gas in Brazil should soon come from these states.
According to the consulting firm Gas Energy, the six fields in the two states will generate R$ 7 billion in annual revenue for Petrobras and its partners.

The region’s economy has been severely affected by declining oil prices and the corruption scandals investigated by Operation Car Wash.
According to the president of Gas Energy, Rivaldo Moreira Neto, “It is possible that we will see a resurgence of the oil and gas industry in the Northeast, where it all started.”

ANP, through its director Felipe Kury, considered the potential of the Sergipe-Alagoas Basin as “very promising” and believes in new discoveries in the near future.

Regarding the investments needed in the area, Petrobras is expected to spend US$ 2 billion this year on the construction of the pipeline to the coast and on delineating the area.
It is worth noting that these investments were already included in the business plan for the next five years (2019-2023).

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.

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.
