In the recorded video by workers from the Enchova field, next to the P-65, flames and black smoke can be seen both at sea and on the platform.

According to ANP, “There was a gas leak in the flare line (flare) of the P-65, operated by Trident, and the gas contained oil”, continuing ANP explains that “The mixture of leaked gas and oil ignited due to the flare, causing the dark smoke seen in the released video. The plant was immediately shut down and depressurized, and the incident is under control. There were no fatalities or injuries in the accident.”

Sindipetro-NF stated that it demanded a position from Trident regarding the incident as a representative of workers on the P-65 oil platform.

“The platform was on fire, and several liters were spilled into the sea, which also caught fire,” said the president of Sindipetro-NF, Tezeu Bezerra, who described the occurrence as a “serious accident.”

The P-65 belonged to Petrobras, which completed the sale of the asset to Trident in July 2020, along with ten fields that make up the Pampo and Enchova Polos and other platforms in the Campos Basin, as part of the state-owned oil company’s billion-dollar divestment plan.

Trident Energy, which received investments from private equity firm Warburg Pincus, focuses on the exploration of mature oil and gas assets, with operations in Latin America and Africa, according to information from the company’s website.

With billions in loans, China is rebuilding Nigeria’s railway network from scratch, abandoning the British colonial tracks that have turned to scrap and creating a corridor of over 1,300 km to take the load off the roads of Africa’s largest economy.

China is building an artificial island in the middle of the sea, covering 20 km², to construct the largest offshore airport in the world, the Dalian Jinzhouwan. This $4.3 billion project is anchored on more than 3,000 pillars embedded in the rock beneath the ocean and is scheduled to open in 2035.

Forget petroleum-based asphalt: a Scottish company transforms 684,000 plastic bottles into one kilometer of road that is 60% more resistant and up to 10 times more durable, and the technology has already started replacing traditional asphalt in more than 30 countries.

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.

Austrian engineers have developed an inflatable concrete technology that transforms flat slabs into domes using only air pressure, eliminating scaffolding and temporary forms, and potentially changing the way bridges, tunnels, and curved roofs are constructed worldwide.

A robot named Walter does the work of five bricklayers per hour and can save the construction industry, where the average age of professionals is 46 years and almost no one wants to learn the trade anymore, in the United Kingdom.

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.

The seemingly endless sand is disappearing: the world extracts 50 billion tons per year from rivers and beaches, a volume comparable to 19,000 pyramids of Giza, while mafias profit, islands disappear, and city concrete is threatened until 2050.

Scientists drill 8,000 feet of ice in Antarctica and race against time before the hole freezes over again to bury the world’s deepest seismometers and turn the South Pole into a giant ear for earthquakes across the entire planet.

Rice in space becomes a scientific bet for China to understand how microgravity can alter the genetics of the most important grain for Asian food security and reveal if future generations of the plant can be born, grow, and maintain their biological identity away from Earth.

How much would a Toyota Hilux cost without tax in Brazil? A diesel pickup truck priced at R$ 250,000 could drop to around R$ 127,000, showing why pickup trucks have become a luxury product in the country.

Windows without a prison-like appearance gain momentum in 2026 and promise to completely transform residential facades with more natural lighting, discreet security, increased property value, and a modern look without the burden of the old iron bars that dominated Brazilian homes for decades.
