After Arriving in Our Country, She Will Proceed Directly to the Campos Basin for Drilling in Various Fields of the Shell 2018 Campaign

The Shell contracted the Catarina drillship belonging to Petroserv for 60 days to carry out interventions in the Campos Basin, with her arrival expected on Sunday or Monday (22 or 23 respectively), and work will begin in May and may be extended for a few more months if necessary. The intervention activities will take place in the Bijupirá-Salema and Parque das Conchas assets, where the fields of Abalone, Ostra, and Argonauta are also located. The drillship departed from the city of Las Palmas, Spain, towed by a gigantic tugboat. The departure occurred in March.

According to Shell, she will have 15 optional locations for intervention. Currently, the Bijupirá-Salema and Parque das Conchas fields produce about 10,000 and 45,000 barrels of oil per day, respectively, with the oldest field being produced since 1993 using the FPSO Fluminense platform. Arriving in Brazil, the semisubmersible Catarina will head directly to the Campos Basin, where all procedures for the release and admission of the unit by the Navy, Federal Revenue, and other government agencies will be completed. The contract for the drillship was finalized in mid-February.

In addition to the Catarina drillship, Shell has also initiated a chartering process to drill in the Gato do Mato and Gato do Mato do Sul assets, located in the Santos Basin. This acquisition was announced in early 2018, but negotiations have not yet been finalized. In fact, they are still evaluating some proposals, which will be for wells that will be drilled within a year.

In the cold desert of Ladakh, where it hardly rains, engineer Sonam Wangchuk created the ice stupa, a tower that freezes winter water and stores it for irrigating crops in the spring, a simple engineering feat that mimics nature.

Almost 6,000 residents live concentrated along a single street nearly 9 km long in the interior of Poland. Houses form a continuous row, and behind them, narrow agricultural strips emerge, creating one of the most unusual rural patterns in Europe.

Chinese woman planted trees for decades while sand buried part of her house, received $5,000 from an American in 1999, and helped transform the desert into a forest of 8 million trees in China.

Desert sand, previously discarded for being too smooth for concrete, becomes an ecological brick in the United Arab Emirates, dispensing with Portland cement, curing at room temperature, and attempting to transform dunes useless for construction into raw material for a new arid engineering.

They planted a sea of eucalyptus to produce cellulose, but the monoculture turned into a green desert, dried up springs and rivers, and pushed families out of regions in Minas Gerais and Bahia.

Júlia Pimentel, an 11-year-old from Minas Gerais, independently invented a new formula to calculate the square root using simple addition and multiplication, and her method was published in one of the most important mathematical scientific journals in Brazil.

Described by astronauts as one of the most unlikely natural phenomena on Earth, the Okavango Delta spreads over up to 15,000 square kilometers in the middle of the desert and transforms Botswana into a living labyrinth of channels, islands, and flooded areas.

A 10-year-old girl in Manaus created a styrofoam buoy with a sensor to detect trash in streams, became the sole representative from Latin America in an international challenge in London, and turned the pollution she saw near her home into a sustainable invention.

In the USA, thousands of people are being paid to wash dishes and clean the house with body cameras, every movement turning into data to train robots to imitate humans, in a new “digital gig” that could redefine the future of domestic work.

A 33-year-old from Paraná received a quote of R$ 12,000 just for the structural base of the house, opened tutorials on YouTube, and transformed a family plot into a 200 m² two-story house for about half the price charged by professionals.

It was neither a crash nor abandonment; this retired plane left the airport in parts, crossed Costa Rica on trucks, and ended up becoming a suite in the heights with daily rates exceeding R$ 2,000.

At 22 years old, a young person from Recife creates an artificial intelligence startup with a team barely over 25, serves giants like Bayer and Ipiranga, earns millions without taking a cent from investors, and transforms a young company into a national AI phenomenon.

Brazilian siblings aged 11 and 7 read 240 books in just one year and caught attention on social media: while many children spend hours on screens, they turned their family’s routine into an example of reading, discipline, and curiosity.

The legendary oak that, according to the story, hid Robin Hood from the Sheriff of Nottingham, died at the impressive age of 1,200 years in England, and the first chilling sign of its end was that no leaves sprouted on the tree this spring.

While the world looks at forests, the UN warns that the Earth is also threatened by the silent degradation of natural grasslands and savannas, ecosystems that cover half of the planet, support billions of people, and can exacerbate water, food, and climate crises.

The future of computers may change sooner than expected: Amazon bets on commercial quantum computing within seven years, while qubits, the Ocelot chip, AI, and scientific simulations take center stage in the new race among big techs.

Cheaper than new HB20, Onix, and Argo, this German sedan offers a 510-liter trunk, a 2.0 naturally aspirated engine, a 6-speed Tiptronic automatic transmission, and well-known mechanics; the 2016 Volkswagen Jetta Comfortline still draws attention in the used car market.
