Petrobras Is Requesting Anchoring Units to Operate in Brazil in Offshore Activities in the Campos and Santos Basins

The Brazilian state-owned company Petrobras has launched a tender for up to three anchored semi-submersible drilling platforms, signaling to the market its intention to begin rebuilding its fleet. It is understood that Petrobras invited contractors to submit commercial proposals on February 20 for up to two units to operate in water depths of 700 meters and one platform to serve in 450 meters of water.

The rigs that will operate in deeper waters will be used for drilling, completion, and intervention in wells in the Campos and Santos Basins, while the unit to be chartered for work in 450 meters of water will be responsible for the abandoned wells in Campos.

With 7.4 trillion tons of artificial snow pumped in 10 years, an extreme operation could stabilize the West Antarctic ice sheet and prevent a sea level rise of more than 3 meters, but it would require snow cannons, ocean water, and energy on an almost industrial scale at the end of the world.

The Blood Falls of Antarctica hide a living ecosystem trapped under the ice for over 2 million years, where microbes survive without light, without oxygen, and without ever having seen the Sun.

In the Saudi Arabian desert, the world’s largest green hydrogen plant is 80% complete and will use 4 gigawatts of solar and wind energy to produce 600 tons of clean fuel per day when it opens in 2027.

The CEO of Honor in Spain says that smartphones will change with AI, foldables, and even robot phones; the component crisis is making cheap models more expensive in 2026 and shifting the focus to premium.

At 625 meters above the ground and with a span of 1,420 meters between mountains, China inaugurated the highest bridge in the world — and the 2-hour journey now takes 2 minutes.

A neighboring country of Brazil starts to profit billions from oil after the war in Iran, sees its economy grow at an unusual pace, and enters a silent dilemma that few countries can resolve without a crisis.

War in Iran complicates the situation, the government is considering holding back gasoline prices, and the new minister says that if necessary, the country may even go into more debt to protect families.

What looks like a giant cat sleeping at Hong Kong airport is actually 8 meters long, responds to visitors, and has become an unexpected attraction among passengers arriving without imagining what they will find.

Made from common salt and 50% cheaper than lithium, the new Chinese battery promises a range of 500 km and could revolutionize electric cars starting in 2026.
