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.

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.

Engineers want to carve through Africa with a giant canal to bring water from the world’s second-largest river to a dying lake on the edge of the Sahara Desert that has already lost 90% of its water.

Brazil filled the Northeast with wind turbines but now faces the side effect of 705 giant blades reaching the end of their lifespan by 2032 just in Rio Grande do Norte, while the world projects 43 million tons of waste by 2050.

India approved the country’s first submerged road-rail tunnel, 15.8 kilometers dug under the bed of the Brahmaputra River.

Instead of burning or burying old tires, an American city is transforming about 2,000 of them into the street itself, paving its first sections with a quieter and more durable rubber asphalt.

In just one cast, fishermen are surprised to capture 14,096 mullets in Bombinhas and close a historic season with 58,000 fish; scene recorded in the Santa Catarina paradise marks the last day of the 2026 season.

10 giant tortoises are reintroduced and, in just 6 months, trigger changes that lead scientists to investigate a phenomenon absent for 180 years; the numbers recorded on the island impress researchers from around the world.

Greek island offers free housing for volunteers, but there’s a condition: you need to take care of rescued cats.

What many people consider a weed has become a bicycle in the hands of a Chilean. José Tomás transforms coligüe, a native bamboo that grows up to five times faster than pine, into bikes, canes, and cutlery.

Only 28% of the ocean floor has been accurately mapped, less than what is already known about the surface of Mars and the Moon, and scientists consider the topic strategic for Brazil, with a global goal to map everything by 2030.

Japan wants to bury a 500 km “cargo conveyor” between Tokyo and Osaka to replace up to 25,000 trucks per day, move goods through tunnels and automated driverless corridors, and avoid a logistical collapse in an increasingly aging country.

GAC launches “Chinese hybrid Kombi” with 7 seats cheaper than Tiggo 8 Pro Plug-in Hybrid in Brazil; for around R$ 177,000 in conversion without taxes, the Trumpchi E8 PHEV has a 2.0 engine, DHT transmission, an electric range of 150 km, and a premium family cabin for those living in China.
