Petrobras, Shell Brazil, TotalEnergies, CNPC, CNOOC, and UFRGS Started Wind Project for Wind Assessment and Studies for Implementation of Wind Turbines.

The consortium formed by Petrobras, Shell Brazil, TotalEnergies, CNPC, and CNOOC, in partnership with the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS), has begun collecting wind data for an offshore wind project in the Santos Basin, aiming for potential floating wind ventures in the Búzios and Mero fields, located on the Brazilian coast.

The initial data collection will start in the Búzios field, with subsequent studies in the Mero field planned for the end of 2024. The wind measurement station has been installed on the FPSO (Floating Production, Storage, and Offloading) P-75, located in the Búzios block, in the pre-salt region of the Santos Basin, thus marking the advancement of the offshore wind project in Brazil.

Wind Project: Data Collection and Assessment

The collected data will be transmitted to Petrobras’ Research, Development and Innovation Center (Cenpes) and will be assessed over a period of 3 years.

Offshore and Floating Wind Projects

The project aims to develop scientific advancements in wind modeling, data measurement methodology, model enhancement, and reducing uncertainties and risks for the implementation of floating wind projects in ultra-deep water regions.

‘The technologies employed in this multidisciplinary project will be capable of assessing the offshore wind potential in the pre-salt region and contribute to a higher technological standard in Brazil.

Challenges and Partnerships in the Wind Project

‘Offshore wind projects represent a significant scientific and technological challenge, exacerbated by the conditions in the pre-salt region, approximately 200 km offshore, in water depths of up to 2,000 meters’, said Joelson Mendes, Exploration and Production Director at Petrobras.

‘This is yet another initiative aimed at developing knowledge and expertise in the offshore wind segment, which has great potential in Brazil. This time, it involves important partners from the pre-salt region and renowned academic institutions’, added Jean Paul Prates, president of Petrobras.

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.

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.

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.

Australia prepares to dredge 96.5 million m³ in Moreton Bay to deepen, widen, and realign channels of the Port of Brisbane, in a project of up to 25 years designed to accommodate larger ships and enhance maritime safety and regional port efficiency.

Study solves great ancient mystery: remains of Philip II, father of Alexander the Great, are identified in Vergina and resolves the enigma of the Macedonian royal tombs that had lasted half a century.

Larger than the Toyota Hilux and with a towing capacity of 3.5 tons, the new MG U9 2026 features a 2.5 turbodiesel engine, 520 Nm, 4×4 traction with three locks, and an almost full-size build.

For the first time in history, a submarine cable will descend to four thousand meters deep under the ice of the North Pole to ensure that the internet between Europe and Asia no longer depends on conflict zones in the Middle East.

While the world discusses geopolitics, China is quietly closing a deal with its Kazakh neighbor to secure grain supplies during any global food crisis, with more than 3,600 Kazakh companies already able to export directly to the Chinese market.

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.

Amid the United States’ economic blockade, China delivers 15,000 tons of rice to Cuba as part of a 60,000-ton donation personally approved by Xi Jinping. The package includes 80 million dollars and solar panels for hospitals.

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.
