The ROVs Delivered to OceanPact by the United Kingdom Are Destined for the Implementation of Petrobras Oil Fields

Forum Energy Technologies (FET), from the United Kingdom, delivered three remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) to OceanPact, based in Brazil, for deployment in Petrobras oil fields.

The new 200HP Perry XLX-C ROVs, manufactured at FET’s facilities in the United Kingdom in Kirkbymoorside, North Yorkshire, will be deployed on two OceanPact vessels to support inspection, repair, and maintenance (IRM) services for the Brazilian state-owned oil and gas company, Petrobras.

Each XLX-C was provided to OceanPact for use in Petrobras with a suspended tool skid for additional tools and mounting options and a comprehensive package of supplemental tools, including torque tools, verification units, and fluid injection systems.

In addition, the ROVs were delivered to OceanPact for use in Petrobras fields with a launch and active compensated Dynacon recovery system, as well as associated surface control and power facilities.

FET also delivered a VMAX ROV Simulator configured with a complete XLX-C Console, which is supplied with a range of training exercises or ‘scenarios’, each designed to train and assess the pilot’s competency in a variety of skills, such as cable management, manipulator control, and tool operation.

According to Simone Pizzolato, FET’s commercial manager in the UK: “We continue to see high demand for our latest generation of XLX-C vehicles, as our customers recognize the benefits of their enhanced performance in a more compact form.”

According to FET, the 200HP XLX-C rated for 3,000 m depth offers the high performance of a work-class vehicle in a smaller form. It is also noteworthy that the vehicles feature a high-flow auxiliary hydraulic circuit combined with a high load capacity to transport additional tools and sensors.

Seven world powers including the US, China, and Russia are spending €22 billion on a reactor in the south of France that aims to confine plasma at 150 million degrees Celsius, ten times the temperature of the Sun’s core, using a magnetic field capable of lifting an entire aircraft carrier.

While Brazil has been discussing bullet trains for 16 years, China delivers 5 new high-speed lines in 2026, surpasses 50,000 km of HSR, and moves 1 billion passengers in a single year.

With a wingspan of 152 meters, 76 tires, and a capacity to carry 1,270 tons, the Boeing Pelican was the giant “flying ship” that promised to cross oceans close to the water on an invisible air cushion beneath its wings.

Elon Musk’s internet comes to mobile: Starlink technology connects smartphones without an antenna via satellite, works even without carrier signal, already costs just US$10 extra in the US, and could arrive in Brazil as an included benefit.

While countries spend billions to draw water from the sea, a Nobel-winning scientist creates a container-sized machine that extracts up to 1,000 liters per day from dry air and uses ultrasound to release water in minutes, even in the middle of the desert.

Belgium will sink 23 giant concrete caissons, each weighing 22,000 tons, in the North Sea to build the world’s first artificial energy island 45 km off the coast, forming offshore electrical walls.

In Niger, mud buildings have stood for ten generations while the world spends billions on concrete and steel, now African architects are proving at the Venice Biennale and in real projects that red earth can be the smartest and most sustainable building material of the 21st century.

The Federal Institute offers 445 spots in free technical courses in Building Construction, Electrical Engineering, Information Technology, Chemistry, Mechanics, and Telecommunications; to become an IFCE student, register by May 24th.

If the subway workers’ strike is approved in an assembly this Tuesday (12), the stoppage begins at 0h on Wednesday (13) and affects lines 1-Blue, 2-Green, 3-Red, and 15-Silver; the private lines 4-Yellow and 5-Lilac, according to the union, should operate normally.

China surprises the world with the discovery of a “supergiant” deposit valued at US$ 85.9 billion, containing over 1,000 tons of gold at a depth of 2,000 meters and an impressive concentration of 138 grams per ton of rock.

A cheap system mixes chicken wire and mortar to build super resistant round houses with half the material, walls of only 3 cm, high resistance against corrosion, and curved structures inspired by the technique created by engineer Pier Luigi Nervi.

A computer creates a thermoelectric generator with an unusual shape, more precise heat flow, and 8 times higher efficiency than the conventional rectangular version.
