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.

A giant printer called the “Ferrari” of concrete has landed in Latin America and can already build a 120-square-meter house in just 48 hours, making the traditional construction site look like something from the last century.

Great Atlantic Sargassum Belt has ceased to be a climatic phenomenon and has become a biological system that feeds on itself, with 8,000 kilometers in length, 37 million tons of algae, and scientists confirm that it is now permanent.

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.

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.

Engineers had to pour concrete mixed with tons of ice throughout entire nights in the Dubai desert to erect the Burj Khalifa; any carelessness could clog the pipes half a mile high.

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.

James Webb is located 1.5 million kilometers from Earth, has a golden mirror with 18 segments, and reveals hidden details of the universe in infrared light.

Traces of a 2,000-year-old submerged city are lifted from the sea by cranes hoisting statues, pieces of ruins, and artifacts from an ancient Egyptian port.

To shorten a crossing that is currently done by sea from five hours to half an hour, the Philippines is building a 32-kilometer bridge over the water connecting the provinces of Bataan and Cavite.

Mark Zuckerberg prepares a $145 billion bet on AI for 2026 and could transform Meta’s infrastructure into a new billion-dollar cloud computing business.

Couple surprises by purchasing a village abandoned for 50 years in Spain for R$ 2 million and will rebuild about 60 stone houses in ruins and start a plan to restore everything as a self-sufficient ecovillage with solar energy, community gardens, and sustainable living.
