The Petrobras Unit Has Been Halted Since April, When Workers on the Platform Were Infected with the Coronavirus and the FPSO Had to Undergo Disinfection

The FPSO Capixaba of Petrobras has been out of operation since April and will return to operation in the third quarter of this year, according to the state-owned company. The unit suffered a significant outbreak of coronavirus among its workers and, therefore, was halted to undergo a disinfection process.

Out of operation, Petrobras stopped producing 35,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day in the second quarter of this year. The state-owned company was able to negotiate with SBM, the owner of the vessel, a temporary suspension of the platform’s contract, which will resume when the unit restarts production.

Additionally, the contract suspension period for the unit is being utilized by SBM for the execution of works on the platform, aiming at increasing operational efficiency. The unit produces in the Whale Park and is chartered by Petrobras until April 2022.

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.

A British company has installed in the middle of the ocean the world’s first floating platform that generates electricity 24 hours a day from the temperature difference between the surface and the depths of the Atlantic, without relying on wind or sun.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Engineers had to pour concrete mixed with tons of ice throughout entire nights in the Dubai desert to erect the Burj Khalifa; any carelessness could clog the pipes half a mile high.

Uranus and Neptune may not be the “ice giants” we learned about in school: new models suggest much rockier interiors, chaotic magnetic fields, and show that even the planets in our Solar System still hide structures that science cannot fully explain.

The United States is building an aircraft carrier that will never touch water: a ship that remains stationary in orbit, loaded with spacecraft, and opens its hull to release them in a matter of hours, ready to replace a downed satellite before the enemy notices.

Discover which are the highest-paying jobs in Brazil, with salaries above R$ 20,000, in fields such as technology, medicine, finance, and industry.

Coconut husks become natural logs to protect eroding coasts in the USA, with biodegradable fibers used in living shorelines to hold plants, reduce wave force, and restore areas destroyed by storms like Sandy in New Jersey.
