Ocyan’s ODN I Rig Returns to Drilling Campaign in Petrobras’ Sagittarius Field Five Years After Discovery

An exploration project that seemed abandoned by Petrobras is back in action after more than 5 years. The Sagittarius field is being drilled by Ocyan’s ODN I rig. See Also! Sergipe Basin Set to Receive ExxonMobil Drilling as Early as 2020!
The Sagittarius field was declared in 2014 to have a hydrocarbon column of 159 meters and was reported at the time to have high-quality oil, specifically 32° API.

Petrobras plans to use Ocyan’s rig until reaching depths of over 6,600 meters. The Sagittarius field is located in the S-M-623 block of the pre-salt Santos Basin,
The state-owned company resumed work in Sagittarius through drilling in an extension of the project, the 3-BRSA-1370-SPS, in the Santos pre-salt.

Decline in Drilling

So far, 6 exploratory wells have been drilled in the Brazilian offshore, which, when added to the other 24 production and injection wells, total 24.
The number of rigs used was a total of 16, including wellhead platforms, such as those of Equinor, in the Peregrino Field, WHP-A and B.

If this pace continues, we will not have good news for drilling companies. By the end of the year, we should see another decline in numbers.
The average number of wells drilled, combining exploration and production and injection wells, in the Brazilian offshore, has been 45 to 50 per year, and with just over 3 months left in the year, it is quite likely that this number will not be reached.

A clear indication of this fact is Petrobras’ absence from drilling activities; the company’s only campaign consisted of two wells in the Sergipe Basin, where it plans to install two FPSOs.

Gaddafi built the world’s largest artificial river under the Sahara — it’s 4,000 km of giant pipes that pump 40,000-year-old fossil water to entire cities in Libya.

Discovery in Africa scares even scientists: a study published on April 23 reveals that the crust in Turkana has become so thin that it could pave the way for the continent’s division and the emergence of an ocean in the future, in a gigantic geological transformation.

Japanese garbage collectors treat filthy trucks as if they were dealership cars, and the obsession with cleanliness is so absurd that they invented a washing machine that only exists for this type of vehicle.

Seen from high in the stratosphere, a Lego Star Devourers rose to 34,988 meters attached to a balloon, returned to Earth intact, and entered the Guinness World Records in a record that seems like science fiction.

In 1991, Brazil’s GDP was almost double India’s, and today it is little more than half: while India grew 6.5% per year and trained engineers, Brazil preferred to train lawyers, and now it is rushing to strengthen ties with the world’s fourth-largest economy.

India built a 21.8-kilometer sea bridge to connect Mumbai to Navi Mumbai, and a journey of up to 120 minutes fell to about 20.

South America’s most famous oasis has an emerald lagoon formed by underground waters in the Peruvian desert. It is located 300 km from Lima, is surrounded by giant dunes, and holds a mysterious mermaid legend.

In 2026, a container ship on the Oslo-Hamburg route will abandon diesel and use fertilizer as fuel: the Yara Eyde ushers in the era of green ammonia in maritime transport.

In just 5,660 kilometers of pipes crossing 13 countries, Africa is building the largest pipeline in its history — and the final destination is Europe.

Powering ChatGPT and the world’s data centers in 2026 will require more than 1,000 TWh of electricity — equivalent to Japan’s entire consumption.

Tuapse enters a state of emergency after an attack on an oil refinery, with a warning not to drink tap water, keep windows closed, and face severe environmental impact in southern Russia.

Petrobrás expands oil and gas production by 16.4% in early 2026, driven by the pre-salt, new platforms, and operational advancements that reinforce accelerated growth in the Brazilian energy sector.

A strong cold front is advancing across Brazil now, but researchers warn that extreme heat is expected to increase, affect work capacity, reduce people’s income, and cause billion-dollar economic losses in the coming decades.

The fastest-growing risk in Brazilian cities isn’t only apparent during heavy rainfall; it has already increased by 145% since 1985, covers 1.2 million hectares, and can transform floods and inundations into an increasingly common threat.
