Wood Renewed a US$ 80 Million Contract with Equinor to Provide Maintenance and Modification Solutions for the Oil Company’s Offshore Assets in the Peregrino Field in the Basin of Campos.

Wood, a consulting and engineering company, announced last Thursday (02/01) the renewal of a US$ 80 million contract with Equinor Brazil, one of the largest energy companies in the world. The contract provides for the supply of maintenance and modification solutions for Equinor’s offshore assets in the Peregrino field, located in the Basin of Campos, about 85 km off the coast of Rio de Janeiro.

The Peregrino field is the largest exploration and production project of Equinor outside of Norway, featuring two wellhead platforms and a floating production storage and offloading unit (FPSO).

Wood is responsible for providing engineering support, pre-fabrication and equipment, offshore installation, commissioning, and turnaround (TAR) for these assets, aiming to optimize their performance and extend their lifespan.

The president of Wood’s operations in the Americas, Shawn Combden, stated that the contract extension reaffirms clients’ confidence in the company’s ability to consistently meet and exceed expectations in delivering brownfield engineering projects, which involve the modification or expansion of existing facilities.

“The maintenance and upgrade modifications delivered by our team will extend the lifespan of these assets, essential for energy security,” he said.

Meanwhile, the general manager of Wood for Brazil, Hugues Corrigan, emphasized that the eight-year relationship with Equinor in Brazil is built on a well-established history of asset knowledge and mutual trust.

“Our commitment to excellence, relentless focus on safe operations, and unwavering dedication to understanding our clients’ evolving needs have been fundamental in ensuring this win,” he said.

Seven world powers including the US, China, and Russia are spending €22 billion on a reactor in the south of France that aims to confine plasma at 150 million degrees Celsius, ten times the temperature of the Sun’s core, using a magnetic field capable of lifting an entire aircraft carrier.

While Brazil has been discussing bullet trains for 16 years, China delivers 5 new high-speed lines in 2026, surpasses 50,000 km of HSR, and moves 1 billion passengers in a single year.

With a wingspan of 152 meters, 76 tires, and a capacity to carry 1,270 tons, the Boeing Pelican was the giant “flying ship” that promised to cross oceans close to the water on an invisible air cushion beneath its wings.

Elon Musk’s internet comes to mobile: Starlink technology connects smartphones without an antenna via satellite, works even without carrier signal, already costs just US$10 extra in the US, and could arrive in Brazil as an included benefit.

While countries spend billions to draw water from the sea, a Nobel-winning scientist creates a container-sized machine that extracts up to 1,000 liters per day from dry air and uses ultrasound to release water in minutes, even in the middle of the desert.

Belgium will sink 23 giant concrete caissons, each weighing 22,000 tons, in the North Sea to build the world’s first artificial energy island 45 km off the coast, forming offshore electrical walls.

The United Kingdom removed approximately 1.8 million cubic meters of sand from the seabed and is depositing it all on 6 kilometers of beaches in Norfolk, in a mega-operation to curb erosion, protect coastal villages, and shield a vital gas terminal against the encroaching Atlantic.

Arizona wants to seek water in Mexico with a US$5.5 billion project, a 300 km pipeline, and offshore desalination to sustain growing desert cities as the Colorado River and aquifers lose strength with each new extreme summer recorded in the state.

Avelloz left the Northeast to become Brazil’s 5th top-selling motorcycle brand, surpassing 130,000 units sold, and is now targeting expansion in the South and Southeast with new models, a national network, and a focus on the popular entry-level segment.
