Petrobras announced on Friday (09/08) that it sold 7 fields in RN for US$ 191.1 million, approximately 753 million, to 3R Petroleum.
The production fields are terrestrial and maritime and are called Polo Macau, in the Rio Grande do Norte Basin, which consists of the fields of Aratum, Macau, Serra, Salina Cristal, Lagoa Aroeira, Porto Carão, and Sanhaçu.

The fields of Polo Macau produce about 5,800 barrels of oil equivalent per day and are entirely owned by Petrobras, except for the Sanhaçu field, in which it holds a 50% stake, while the other 50% belongs to Petrogal, controlled by the Portuguese Galp.

The Buyer

3R Petroleum is a Brazilian company that operates in the redevelopment of mature terrestrial fields, and it has financial support from Starboard funds, an alternative investment manager that was advised by CMA (Campos Melo Advogados), the firm that negotiated with Petrobras the structuring of the debt and equity for the Macau polo project.
The sale of fields in Rio Grande do Norte is part of Petrobras’ divestment plan, which will now focus on its core activity of exploring and producing oil and gas in deep waters.

Petrobras also announced the start of a process to sell its stakes in 11 production fields in shallow waters in the Campos Basin.
The fields are called Polo Garoupa, which includes the assets of Anequim, Bagre, Cherne, Congro, Corvina, Malhado, Namorado, Parati, Garoupa, Garoupinha, and Viola.

All the fields are 100% owned by Petrobras, and the average production of the wells over the last 12 months was approximately 19,600 boe/day.
The sale process also includes production and flow facilities up to Barra do Furado.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

The James Webb telescope spotted a planet 700 light-years from Earth with mornings full of sand clouds and nights with clear skies, the temperature difference between the two hemispheres reaches an impressive 170 degrees.

Rice in space becomes a scientific bet for China to understand how microgravity can alter the genetics of the most important grain for Asian food security and reveal if future generations of the plant can be born, grow, and maintain their biological identity away from Earth.

How much would a Toyota Hilux cost without tax in Brazil? A diesel pickup truck priced at R$ 250,000 could drop to around R$ 127,000, showing why pickup trucks have become a luxury product in the country.

Windows without a prison-like appearance gain momentum in 2026 and promise to completely transform residential facades with more natural lighting, discreet security, increased property value, and a modern look without the burden of the old iron bars that dominated Brazilian homes for decades.

The largest precious metals mine under construction in the world is situated on a layer of ore 25 times thicker than common mines in South Africa, and has just connected a third shaft that will quintuple the extraction of platinum, palladium, and gold.
