Weatherford International signed agreements with Constellation Oil Services to operate in strategic basins on the Brazilian coast. The contracts cover workover and well abandonment operations in the Campos, Espírito Santo, and Santos basins until December 2030.

Weatherford International’s offshore services agenda in Brazil has just gained significant momentum with the definition of deadlines and locations for its new contracts with Constellation Oil Services. The agreements ensure the company’s continuous presence in strategic areas of the Brazilian coast, divided into two execution windows extending until the year 2030.

The first phase is already underway, having started in March 2026. This stage focuses on the Campos and Espírito Santo basins, with an expected completion date of December 2028, as reported by PetroNotícias.

The second front of work focuses on the Búzios field, in the Santos Basin. In this location, activities are scheduled to begin in the first quarter of 2027, with a long-term contract that will only conclude in December 2030.

Drilling units and technical scope

To achieve these goals, Weatherford will operate onboard two of Constellation’s ultra-deepwater units.

Each contract has a distinct technical specialty, adapted to the geological needs of each basin:

Semisubmersible Gold Star (Campos and Espírito Santo): Here, the work involves interventions such as workover (well maintenance) and abandonment operations. This project is pioneering as it is an integrated service contracted directly by the end client through the unit itself.

Strengthening position in the offshore market

The acquisition of these new businesses reinforces Weatherford as an elite supplier for contractors operating in challenging subsea environments.

The company highlights that the model adopted on the Gold Star rig is unprecedented, being the first time a unit incorporates an integrated service of this type into its fixed scope of work.

Meanwhile, preparation for the Búzios campaign in 2027 demonstrates confidence in the longevity of Brazilian exploration projects.

The strategic vision of Weatherford’s leadership

The success of these negotiations was attributed to the company’s ability to combine global technology with efficient regional delivery.

Weatherford President and CEO, Girish Saligram, emphasized that the continuous partnership with Constellation is a reflection of the large-scale operational competence demonstrated by the team.

“These contracts reflect Weatherford’s ability to execute complex, large-scale offshore operations, combining proven technology with strong local delivery capability and the continuous trust Constellation places in our operational capability,” said Girish Saligram.

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.

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.

Four times faster than the Concorde, capable of taking passengers from New York to London in less than an hour at Mach 5.5, and with an engine that switches from turbojet to ramjet mid-flight at Mach 3.5, the Hermeus Quarterhorse went from paper to its first flight in just 19 months.

Under nearly 2 kilometers of ice in Antarctica, scientists have discovered an ancient landscape sculpted by rivers up to 60 million years ago, the size of Wales, preserved as a time capsule that could help predict the advance of ice towards the ocean.

She started by collecting oyster shells from restaurants and today she has already accumulated more than 10 tons to restore reefs, recover coastal habitats, and demonstrate how a common waste can become a tool for ocean conservation.

SpaceX will dock a $843 million vehicle to the International Space Station to push a nearly 420-ton laboratory against the atmosphere and make the debris fall in a controlled manner into the ocean.

Presented as the world’s first floating megacity, the Freedom Ship promises to be 1.6 km long, 30 stories high, and powered by nuclear energy to accommodate up to 80,000 people at sea, in a project valued at around 81 billion reais that still depends on financing.

The upper part of a monumental statue attributed to Pharaoh Ramses II, weighing between five and six tons and measuring about 2.2 meters, was discovered at the site of Tel al-Faraoun in the Nile Delta, revealing a stronger presence of the great pharaoh in northern Egypt than previously imagined.

Now it’s law: energy distributors can be penalized for hiding data about solar energy in MS; The measure increases market transparency, reduces barriers for consumers, and accelerates the expansion of distributed generation in the state.

The government will cross-check the health data of those receiving Bolsa Família, and from now on, the SUS will inform the ministry every month who is pregnant, which child has not been vaccinated, and who is overweight, all to release or maintain benefits.

Qatar and Bahrain revive the dream of a nearly 40-kilometer bridge over the sea to connect the two Gulf countries by land.
