Two More Support Vessels for Offshore Activities Have Renewed Contracts. It Was Norwegian Solstad’s Turn to Sign the Renewal with Petrobras

Confirming the resumption (although gradual) of offshore activities, Petrobras announced the renewal of two more support vessels. The ships belong to the Norwegian company Solstad Offshore and will have their contracts renewed until the third quarter of 2020.
Petrobras has been gradually renewing its entire DOF fleet, see here the article on the renewal of the AHTS Skandi Fluminense vessel.

The vessels that had their contracts extended and will continue to provide services to Petrobras are the “Far Santana”, of the AHTS type (Anchor Handling Tug Supply Vessel), which is equipped with the Fugro Work Class ROV and can operate up to 3,000 meters deep.

The Soviet Union spent 22 years drilling into the Earth’s crust and reached a depth of 12,262 meters — they found water where it was thought impossible, hydrogen bubbling from the rock, granite that is 2.7 billion years old, and temperatures of 180 degrees that melted the drill bits.

Norway is drilling 27 kilometers of rock 392 meters below the bottom of a fjord to build the world’s largest and deepest underwater road tunnel — when completed, a 21-hour journey will be reduced to 10.

Chinese engineers begin filling a 217-meter dam at an altitude of 3,000 meters and prepare a 2,240 MW hydroelectric power plant to integrate hydropower, solar, and wind energy in the upper Jinsha.

A German architect built a cylindrical house in 1994 that rotates to follow the sun throughout the day, generates 5 times more energy than it consumes, and was the world’s first energy-positive house.

An astronaut spent 340 days in space while his twin brother stayed on Earth, and NASA found a “rejuvenating” effect, genes, microbiome, cognition, and immune system that revealed the biological cost of living outside the planet.

The island that has 35 inhabitants and celebrates Christmas on January 6: the remote island of Foula lives in isolation, without internet and following Julius Caesar’s calendar for centuries.

Scientists are studying GJ 1214 b, a planet 40 light-years away that may concentrate water on a much larger scale than Earth, and this “ocean world” helps to understand how to store, protect, and maintain the planet’s most valuable resource under extreme conditions.

Scientists are investigating Ganymede, a moon larger than Mercury that may hide a global ocean under kilometers of ice, containing more water than all of Earth’s oceans and transforming the largest satellite in the Solar System into a colossal, yet inaccessible, reservoir.

18 scientists issue a warning in a new study: extreme events could affect 36% of terrestrial habitats by 2085 and subject species to heat, fires, droughts, and floods in succession.

Alert in the US: wildfire smoke enters deep into the lungs, reaches the bloodstream, and is already associated with 24,100 deaths per year

Rare earths, critical minerals, and strategic minerals are not the same thing, but all are at the center of the century’s biggest geopolitical dispute, and Brazil holds gigantic reserves in Minas Gerais, Goiás, Amazonas, and Bahia that could change the global game of the energy transition.
