According to ANP, Petrobras’ Largest Refinery, Replan, Located in the Plateau of Paulínia, Produced the Highest Quantity of Oil Since 2015

The largest refinery that Petrobras has, Replan, recorded a significant increase in the production of petroleum derivatives such as gasoline, diesel, and cooking gas (LPG) in the month of April.

The increase occurred as the Replan refinery in Paulínia, SP, produced the highest volume of oil for Petrobras in April since 2015.

According to sources from ANP (National Agency of Oil, Natural Gas and Biofuels), Petrobras’ largest refinery produced about 1,912,038 cubic meters (m³) of oil refining, a 17.4% increase compared to April of last year. The total is only lower than the record in 2015, when 1,952,661 m³ were processed.

Petrobras Investments

Petrobras announced, at the beginning of May, the signing of a contract to build a new unit for producing S-10 diesel at the Replan refinery, where the diesel will be produced to help decarbonize the planet by blending it with common diesel.

The investment made by Petrobras will be US$ 458 million, and the company expects that the new construction will create around 6,000 job openings, 3,000 direct and 3,000 indirect. The inauguration of the new construction is scheduled for 2025.

The contract signed by Petrobras was established with the Toyo Setal HDT Paulínia Consortium, made up of the companies TSE and TOYO. The installation of the new generation unit for S-10 diesel will redefine diesel refining at Replan, in addition to increasing the production of aviation kerosene.

The S-500 type diesel, used in agricultural machinery and corresponding to about 47% of the conventional diesel produced today, will no longer be produced. The machinery of the new unit, as well as that of the existing unit, will be directed towards the production of S-10 diesel, with an increase in production until 2026.

Meet Replan, Petrobras’ Largest Refinery

As the largest refinery of Petrobras, Replan has a processing capacity of 69,000 m³ of oil daily, corresponding to approximately 434,000 barrels, serving 30% of Brazilian territory.

At Petrobras’ Replan, petroleum derivatives such as gasoline, liquefied petroleum gas, diesel, aviation kerosene, asphalt, fuel oil, propylene, bunker, among others, are produced.

The production from Replan is intended for the interior of São Paulo, which holds the largest share of Petrobras’ derivatives production, as well as for Sul de Minas, Mato Grosso, Triângulo Mineiro, Mato Grosso do Sul, Acre, Rondônia, Brasília (DF), Goiás, and Tocantins.

Scientists enter a narrow, flooded cave 500 meters deep and find giant dinosaur footprints on the ceiling measuring up to 1.25 meters, preserved in such a rare way that a new type of trace had to be created.

A giant half-ton ring fell in Kenya from space, and more than a year later, scientists still do not know where it came from.

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.

Seen from space, an image taken by an astronaut shows an unlikely oasis in the Saudi Arabian desert, protected by a terrain that slows the advance of sand, surrounded by green circles, remnants of an extinct lake and nearly 10,000 years of preserved history.

Why fighter pilots never return after ejecting: the seat launches the body at 600 km/h in 1 second, compresses the spine, reduces G tolerance, and leads to medical disqualification, not punishment.

With 1,000 buses sent abroad, the Brazilian manufacturer consolidates the strength of national technology and takes on a leading role in public transportation across all of Latin America.

More than 1,500 Chinese workers transformed an entire railway station in just one night and reduced a 7-hour journey to 90 minutes with a high-speed line of 200 km/h.

Cabbage, kale, and broccoli are used to mine thallium metal in toxic soils and provide raw materials for the high-tech industry.

New air-powered artificial muscles allow machines to lift up to 100 times their own weight with fluid movements.

New system that detects danger, decides the ideal route, and overcomes obstacles in heavy cargo transportation

Researchers develop a new advanced encryption system to protect video files against the future threat of quantum computing attacks.

While other powers face challenges in making rockets more accessible, China is betting on the Lijian-2 with reusable technology, standardized engines, and large-scale production to accelerate space missions.

China has just discovered oil in rock layers that no one thought could be explored at the bottom of the South China Sea, and the field with over 100 million tons could change the balance of energy power in Asia.

Petrobras finds oil on the seabed in the Campos Basin, hundreds of kilometers off the coast of Rio, and the discovery in a deep area raises curiosity about what else may be hidden in the pre-salt and how much this new area could surprise Brazil in the coming years.

Petrobras announces a new discovery in the pre-salt layer of the Campos Basin in block C-M-477, 201 km off the coast of Rio and at a depth of 2,984 m, following indications from electrical profiles, gas, and samples collected during drilling.

Even before the first drilling on the Brazilian Equatorial Margin, a wave of migrants is pressuring Oiapoque, expanding precarious occupations and transforming the city of Amapá into the new epicenter of the oil rush in the Amazon.

Oil rises more than 7% and surpasses $102 this Monday (13) after the announcement of the U.S. blockade on Iran, putting pressure on fuels, raising global inflation, and impacting economic costs.
