Shell’s Discovery Reinforces The Potential Of The Campos Basin For Natural Gas Production.

Shell has discovered new indications of natural gas during the drilling of well 1-SHEL-36-RJS, located in block C-M-659, in the Campos Basin. The notification was sent to the National Agency of Petroleum (ANP), highlighting that the drilling took place in a water depth of 2,916 meters. This discovery reinforces the potential of the Campos Basin as one of the main areas for natural gas exploration in Brazil.

Drilling And Discovery History In The Campos Basin

The drilling of the well is being conducted by the drillship DS-15, from Valaris. This is the second indication of natural gas identified by Shell in block C-M-659.

In August 2023, the company had already found signs of hydrocarbon presence in well 1-SHEL-35A-RJS.

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.

Four times faster than the Concorde, capable of taking passengers from New York to London in less than an hour at Mach 5.5, and with an engine that switches from turbojet to ramjet mid-flight at Mach 3.5, the Hermeus Quarterhorse went from paper to its first flight in just 19 months.

SpaceX will dock a $843 million vehicle to the International Space Station to push a nearly 420-ton laboratory against the atmosphere and make the debris fall in a controlled manner into the ocean.

China opens the world’s first school where more than 100 humanoid robots from different brands will study together, each movement will be repeated up to 600 times a day and the data will feed a collective brain that will teach all the robots of the future.

Cambodia has started digging a nearly 180-kilometer canal to connect the Mekong River directly to the sea and reduce its dependence on the ports of neighboring Vietnam.

Scientists considered detonating 213 nuclear bombs in the Sahara to create an artificial sea the size of El Salvador, with each explosion being a hundred times more powerful than the Hiroshima bomb, and the goal was to generate more energy than Egypt’s largest hydroelectric plant.

An underwater volcano on the seafloor off Oregon is showing clear signs of impending eruption, and scientists are observing everything in real-time.

Cyclone gains strength and causes drastic climate change: new polar air mass drops temperatures, increases frost risk, and brings heavy rain to various regions of Brazil in the coming days.

SpaceX sets share price at $135 and targets a historic $75 billion IPO to debut on Nasdaq with a trillion-dollar market value

The domino effect of US sanctions reaches cards in Cuba, bringing down Visa and Mastercard and exposing a new obstacle for the island’s economy.

The solid-state battery, promised for years as the future of electric cars, is finally starting to move from the laboratory to mass production.
