Following Shell’s Steps Towards Expanding Its Service Portfolio in Brazil, Statoil Is Not Holding Back and Is Increasing Its Presence in the Brazilian Oil and Gas Market.

Statoil will undoubtedly be one of the major players in the Brazilian oil and gas sector. Its acquisitions and participation in oil auctions leave no doubt in this regard. It has been acquiring assets and wells in several of our sedimentary basins, alongside Shell and Exxon Mobil. Although the name “Statoil” is strong in the market, it ultimately changed to “Equinor” due to its expansion into new areas of operation for the company.

Last week, Statoil began the environmental licensing process for 5 wells in the pre-salt region of Carcará, in a concession from the 2nd pre-salt auction in 2017, and the company’s logistical operations base will be in Niterói, RJ, at the Brasco base. To give you an idea, the company waited for the completion of seismic surveys in the area to ensure the geological potential; this was the strategy adopted by Shell; otherwise, “the government could get greedy” and raise rates or taxes on these assets if the seismic data revealed greater potential than offered in the auctions.

Statoil is currently drilling in the exploratory block BM-S-8 at Carcará, with operations planned for 4 years. Seadrill signed with the company and will use the West Saturn rig to drill some of these assets for testing; if all goes well, it will use this offshore unit for 6 more wells over the duration of the contract. We have followers working on this rig; check out some of them in this Seadrill recruitment article..

Following Shell’s Steps Towards Expanding Its Service Portfolio in Brazil, Statoil Is Not Holding Back and Is Increasing Its Presence in the Brazilian Oil and Gas Market.

The Soviet Union spent 22 years drilling into the Earth’s crust and reached a depth of 12,262 meters — they found water where it was thought impossible, hydrogen bubbling from the rock, granite that is 2.7 billion years old, and temperatures of 180 degrees that melted the drill bits.

Gaddafi built the world’s largest artificial river under the Sahara — it’s 4,000 km of giant pipes that pump 40,000-year-old fossil water to entire cities in Libya.

Discovery in Africa scares even scientists: a study published on April 23 reveals that the crust in Turkana has become so thin that it could pave the way for the continent’s division and the emergence of an ocean in the future, in a gigantic geological transformation.

A German architect built a cylindrical house in 1994 that rotates to follow the sun throughout the day, generates 5 times more energy than it consumes, and was the world’s first energy-positive house.

A company that drilled for oil has drilled 4.8 kilometers of rock in Utah and found a never-ending heat of 290 degrees — now it is building the world’s first next-generation commercial geothermal power plant, with 100 MW connected to the grid in June 2026.

Brazil spent R$ 1.9 billion on a giant bridge to Paraguay, and it is already finished, but no one can use it properly because the access points are not ready, and traffic remains blocked months later.

The reactors of the aircraft carrier Gerald R. Ford produce 600 megawatts and could power an entire city.

As if a faucet had been opened in the ocean, warm water begins to reach Antarctica, breaks through the natural protection of the ice shelves, and intrigues scientists about the upcoming impacts on the global climate.

Brazil enters the era of engineered wood buildings alongside Canada, Sweden, Austria, and Norway, betting on a technology that promises faster construction, fewer emissions, and fire resistance that challenges concrete and steel.

War in Iran causes China to sell solar panels like never before, pushing 68 gigawatts to the world in just one month, while Middle Eastern oil becomes a global headache for suppliers desperate for alternatives.

Civil Defense issued a storm alert with risk of flooding in Santa Catarina, and intense rain may hit the state between Tuesday and Wednesday with wind gusts and hail.

Climate records from trees, corals, sediments, and caves show that the current warming is the only one in the last 2,000 years to affect the entire planet at the same time and advance faster than any natural change ever recorded, something that did not occur even during the Medieval Warm Period.

The planet registered 420 water conflicts in 2024, the highest number ever documented, and the dispute over rivers like the Nile, Colorado, Tigris, Euphrates, Indus, and Mekong exposes a race for dams that downstream countries already see as a threat of hydrological war.
