The First Well That Petrobras Plans To Drill Is 500 Km From The Mouth Of The Amazon River

The President of Petrobras, Jean Paul Prates, announced that the state-owned company plans to explore oil and gas at the mouth of the Amazon River. In the video released, Prates argues that the first well that Petrobras plans to drill is 500 km from the mouth of the Amazon River, the same distance that separates Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo.

“The drilling of the first well will be a temporary job, with a projected duration of only 5 months. In nearly 7 decades of operation, we take pride in never having recorded a spill or blowout during offshore drilling activities. With the results from the investigation and drilling phase, society will have the right to know the real potential of this area, and from there we will deepen the debate on whether or not to continue the project”, says the President of Petrobras.

Project May Conflict With The Current Government’s Environmental Area

The project for oil and gas exploration at the mouth of the Amazon River may generate a conflict between the President of Petrobras and the federal government’s environmental area. During the 2022 campaign, the current President of the Republic defended environmental agendas and assured in several events his collaboration with proposals to reduce environmental impacts.

In an interview with the Sumaúma website, Brazil’s Minister of Environment and Climate Change Marina Silva seemed to support Petrobras’ project. The politician and environmentalist stated that she views oil and gas exploration at the mouth of the Amazon River with the same perspective she had of the Belo Monte Hydroelectric Plant. “It is highly impactful, and we have the tools to deal with highly impactful projects”, she concludes.

The mouth of the Amazon River is part of the Equatorial Margin, an area considered a new exploratory frontier that extends from the coast of Amapá to Rio Grande do Norte. Considering the business plan until 2026, Petrobras plans to invest approximately US$ 2 billion in exploratory activities throughout the region.

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.

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.

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.

In the Saudi Arabian desert, the world’s largest green hydrogen plant is 80% complete and will use 4 gigawatts of solar and wind energy to produce 600 tons of clean fuel per day when it opens in 2027.

A producer from Santa Catarina started with a poultry farm of just 7,500 birds in 1994 and three decades later manages 21 farms thanks to a simple strategy he learned early on.

Scientists made electrons flow like a frictionless liquid within graphene — the result violated a law of physics that had been in place for over a century by 200 times…

With 635 km, 441 stations, and driverless lines, the Shenzhen metro grows by 30 km per year and becomes a futuristic showcase that costs less than in the West.

Scientists have created a microscopic nanorobot that functions as an invisible cleaner, chasing bacteria with light, transporting microorganisms, and releasing each target at the exact point, in an advancement that could change diagnostics and treatments.

Lufthansa shuts down subsidiary CityLine immediately, cuts 2,200 jobs overnight, and leaves 27 jets grounded amid strikes and rising jet fuel prices.

Under kilometers of water, rock, and salt, Brazil hides a colossal wealth that led an official guide from the U.S. government to recognize the country as the owner of the largest ultra-deep oil reserves in the world.

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.
