The Company Responsible for the Activity, Spectrum Geo, Has Already Requested a License from Ibama to Operate in Blocks ES-M-592 and ES-M-667, in the Espírito Santo Basin

Seismic studies are a good barometer to measure the level of offshore activities in the Oil and Gas market. When we see seismic studies being commissioned, we always hope that the chain reaction works and that they lead to exploration, production, and generate wealth and jobs.

The studies commissioned this time were from two renowned international oil companies, the Chinese CNOOC, which operates block ES-M-592, and the Spanish Repsol, operator of field ES-M-667, both in the Espírito Santo basin.
Both oil companies are relying on the 3D survey to evaluate the minimum exploratory program in the fields and will cover an area of 14,37 thousand km², which already includes the maneuvering space and the acquisition area (6.6 thousand km²).

Spectrum Geo will use the vessel Hai Yang Shi You 721 for the study, and operations are scheduled to begin in December and end in July 2020.

The seismic data will be collected with reference to the city of Aracruz, in Espírito Santo, at a minimum distance from the coast of 50 km and in a minimum water depth of 1,3 thousand meters.

Port of Vitória will be the support base for the campaign, and the expectation is that every five or six weeks there will be, in addition to the embarkation and disembarkation of crew members, the loading of equipment, parts, and supplies, the refueling of diesel, and the unloading of waste.

The blocks ES-M-592 and ES-M-667 belong entirely to CNOOC and Repsol, respectively, and were acquired in the 14th round of ANP concessions.

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.

While the U.S. still faces limitations in deep space, China is developing unprecedented technology with strategic satellites that maintain communication with the far side of the Moon and aims for dominance by 2030.

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.

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.

Bavarian archaeologists unearthed a medieval skeleton that had an articulated iron hand in place of its left arm, and the discovery reveals that doctors were already creating sophisticated prosthetics over 500 years ago.

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.

The probe that passed by Saturn nearly 20 years ago captured something that no one expected — and only now have scientists deciphered complex organic molecules coming from an ocean hidden beneath the ice.

Before mining the ocean floor, scientists found 24 unknown creatures at 4,000 meters — including an entire superfamily that science had never seen before.

In the asteroid belt, an “impossible comet” is releasing water vapor where it shouldn’t exist, and the James Webb telescope has revealed that primordial ice has survived for billions of years in a region that could rewrite the origin of water on Earth.

Mercedes has created an electric motor with over 1,000 horsepower that weighs only 12.7 kilograms — less than a suitcase and with the highest power density ever recorded.

At over 8 meters tall and resembling a trunk, this creature dominated the Earth 400 million years before the dinosaurs — and science still doesn’t know what it was.
