The Production of Brazilian Pre-Salt Significantly Grew in February of This Year, According to Information Released by Pré-Sal Petróleo S.A (PPSA) on Thursday, April 13.

The total oil production in oil fields with production-sharing contracts grew 3% in February compared to the previous month, totaling 868 thousand barrels of oil per day (bpd). Compared to the same period last year, there was an increase of 86% in pre-salt production, reaching a total of 465 thousand bpd produced more.

According to PPSA, the Union had the right to an average production of 43.9 thousand bpd in pre-salt contracts in February, which represents an increase of 2.07% compared to the average in January and a difference of 155% in the annual comparison.

Production-Sharing Contracts in Pre-Salt

The production-sharing contracts involve seven fields in the Brazilian pre-salt, namely: Atapu, Búzios, Entorno de Sapinhoá, Mero, Tartaruga Verde Sudoeste, Sépia, and Itapu. These contracts have allowed for the increase of pre-salt production in the last year.

Natural Gas Production in Pre-Salt

In addition to oil production, the pre-salt has been notable for natural gas production. According to PPSA, in three of the seven production-sharing contracts, the average natural gas production was 1.20 million cubic meters per day (m³/d), with most coming from Búzios, totaling 1.02 million m³/d. However, there was a 47% decrease in the average compared to the previous month due to an operational halt in the Búzios field.

The average total surplus of the Union in natural gas available was 43 thousand m³/d in February, below the 54 thousand m³/d in January. In the same period last year, this average was 113 thousand m³/d.

The production of the pre-salt has proven to be strategic for the development of the Brazilian economy, as it highlights oil and natural gas production. Even with the operational halt in Búzios, there was a significant increase in oil production, with an 86% increase in the annual comparison. Therefore, it is important for the country to continue investing in this sector to ensure economic growth and job generation.

A giant printer called the “Ferrari” of concrete has landed in Latin America and can already build a 120-square-meter house in just 48 hours, making the traditional construction site look like something from the last century.

Great Atlantic Sargassum Belt has ceased to be a climatic phenomenon and has become a biological system that feeds on itself, with 8,000 kilometers in length, 37 million tons of algae, and scientists confirm that it is now permanent.

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.

Brazil will harvest a record crop of up to 357 million tons of grains, but it does not have the capacity to store a large part of it. The storage deficit has reached the highest level in history and is equivalent to almost the entire production of Argentina.

Engineers had to pour concrete mixed with tons of ice throughout entire nights in the Dubai desert to erect the Burj Khalifa; any carelessness could clog the pipes half a mile high.

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.

Samara left the city, built a small power plant on her property, and now lives surrounded by waterfalls, her own energy, sustainable recycling, and preserved nature in the Serra da Mantiqueira.

While Saudi Arabia and Qatar are already closing a 300-kilometer-per-hour bullet train to connect the capitals in two years, Brazil is still at the stage of auctioning the first freight railway that should actually come to fruition.

Turkey hit a target using a real warhead and confirmed that its SOM-J cruise missile is ready, another step for the country to become a power that manufactures and exports its own military technology.

While the United States and China compete over giant rockets and lunar bases, India made a “spaceplane” land on its own at over 320 km/h after being released by a helicopter at an altitude of 4.5 km; Pushpak shows that New Delhi also wants to enter the era of reusable space vehicles.

Japan and Mercosur may reach an agreement to lower the cost of cars and auto parts, with manufacturers like Toyota, Honda, and Nissan coming into focus.
