Aiming at potential business in the Brazilian market in 2023, Transocean has just announced a new contract with a national company.

The Dhirubhai Deepwater KG2 drillship, chartered for offshore drilling operations in Brazil, was built in 2010 under an ambitious project.

It has a maximum operational depth of 12,000 feet (3,657.6 meters) and its maximum drilling depth is 35,000 feet (10,668 meters).

After being idle for a year since its last operation, Transocean’s drillship is preparing to operate in the Brazilian offshore market starting in the third quarter of this year.

In a recent extensive status report on the offshore drilling market, Westwood Global Energy’s offshore drilling market analyst, Terry Childs, commented on the sector in 2023. He believes that the year will be busy for drilling rig chartering companies worldwide.

“The current trajectory of daily rates will continue its upward path,” he stated regarding projections for the year.

Thus, Transocean’s new contract for the chartering of its drillship marks just the beginning of a long year in the offshore drilling sector.

The oldest tree in the world, alive since before the birth of Jesus Christ, is cut down in a scientific study and the case changes environmental preservation rules.

Seen from space, an image taken by an astronaut shows an unlikely oasis in the Saudi Arabian desert, protected by a terrain that slows the advance of sand, surrounded by green circles, remnants of an extinct lake and nearly 10,000 years of preserved history.

While in Brazil a 10-story building takes 2 years to complete, in China a company stacks pre-fabricated modules and raises the entire building in just 28 hours and 45 minutes.

An entire island in the Pacific wants to surround itself with a colossal barrier against the ocean to try to escape increasingly violent waves and not be swallowed by the sea in the coming decades.

After ten days orbiting the Moon, science confirms that the astronauts of the Artemis II mission return with altered bodies.

With 7.4 trillion tons of artificial snow pumped in 10 years, an extreme operation could stabilize the West Antarctic ice sheet and prevent a sea level rise of more than 3 meters, but it would require snow cannons, ocean water, and energy on an almost industrial scale at the end of the world.

Peru built a tunnel at an altitude of 4,738 meters cutting through the Andes Mountains, and the road leading to it reaches 4,818 meters, making it the highest paved road in the entire world.

China imposes billion-dollar fines on seven e-commerce platforms after violations in food delivery and pressures the sector to correct flaws that affect trust, food safety, and consumer experience.

Scientists have found the most sought-after ingredient for batteries hidden inside a mineral that everyone thought was useless — and the discovery could eliminate the need to open new lithium mines…

Multinational Ocyan opens offshore position for those who want to work on board in Macaé (RJ) as a Piping Designer; the job offers health insurance, life insurance, and more.

Saudi Arabia releases 9 Brazilian fruits at once and opens a billion-dollar market in the Middle East that could transform exports, increase production, and create new jobs in agriculture.

Iran said that the Strait of Hormuz is open, but in practice only 1 non-Iranian oil tanker managed to cross in 24 hours — before the blockade, 100 ships passed per day.

Petrobras completes 1,300 hours of work and 15 km of subsea lines to connect the Búzios 90 well to the P-79 — the platform is ready to produce 180,000 barrels per day and is just awaiting ANP approval.

Iran declares the Strait of Hormuz completely open this Friday, and the price of oil plummets nearly 10% in a few hours — the largest drop since the beginning of the conflict.

While the world was paying more for fuel, the 100 largest oil companies on the planet raked in an extra $23 billion in just 30 days of blockage in the Strait of Hormuz.

Petrobras buys 75% of Oranto and becomes the operator of block 3 in São Tomé and Príncipe, resuming its strategy in Africa to diversify its portfolio and replenish oil and gas reserves.
