The Bidding Will Be Opened in Early February by Petrobras; This Mega Project Will Have a Billion-Dollar Cost and Will Be Among the Largest in the Brazilian Telecommunications Sector
[supsystic-social-sharing id=’1′]Petrobras will open a grand bidding for a project that promises to make telecommunications companies from all over the world mobilize and fight like crazy dogs to win this contract: The connection of 36 oil platforms via submarine fiber optics. The state-owned company announced that the initial bid entry amount will be between R$ 963 million and R$ 1.2 billion.
The project envisions a network connection through optical cables of approximately 1,700 kilometers for a minimum contract of 20 years. It will be allowed to form consortia for the exchange of expertise and machinery manufacturers. Experts say that this is one of the largest bids in the country promoted by Petrobras this year and one of the largest in terms of complexity in the offshore segment.

Kia emerges with the “ugliest pickup truck in the world”: even with a 2.2 turbo diesel engine with 210 hp, 4×4 traction, a capacity of 3.5 tons, and a goal of 20,000 annual sales, the Tasman sells only 320 units and becomes a problem for the brand in Australia.

At this moment, companies from Germany, the United States, China, Japan, and Brazilian companies like Embratel have already expressed interest in the project; however, as soon as this news spreads worldwide, more companies will enter the “Hunger Games.” Here comes the good news! THE NETWORK WILL EXTEND FROM RIO DE JANEIRO AND WILL HAVE A SUPPORT POINT IN THE CITY OF MACAÉ-RJ. Stay tuned for the special publication in the newspaper below:
To reduce Petrobras’s costs, the winning consortium will be allowed to lease its network to other companies that need internet connectivity. You must be wondering: Who will rent internet data connections in the middle of the ocean? Exploration rigs, cruise ships, commercial vessels, and other professionals working offshore. Remembering that the objective of this venture is the rapid exchange of production data in the Campos and Santos basins, as conventional means make these statistics quite costly. Those who work offshore know how “workers” suffer with slow internet on offshore units; will we finally be able to browse without interruptions?
