Bechtel, a global leader in engineering,
procurement and construction, has received approval from Teck to proceed with the
expansion of the Quebrada Blanca copper mine in Chile, comprising a143,000
tonnes-per-day copper concentrator, a high-capacity desalination plant,
and a 165-kilometer water supply pipeline.
The Quebrada Blanca Phase 2 project (QB2) is located in the northern Chilean Andes,
4,300 meters above sea level and approximately 145 kilometers from the Pacific Ocean.
Bechtel will be responsible for the engineering, procurement and construction
management (EPCM). First production is targeted for the second half of 2021 and
QB2 is expected to generate 316,000 tonnes of copper-equivalent production per year

Parque das Baleias Offshore Oil and Gas Complex Project
Parque das Baleias, also known as the Whale Park, is a cluster of seven deep-water oil and gas fields in the northern Campos Basin, offshore Espírito Santo, Brazil.
Owned and operated by state-controlled Petrobras, the Parque das Baleias area includes the Jubarte, Baleia Azul, Baleia Franca, Baleia Anã, Cachalote, Caxaréu and the Pirambú fields that have both pre-salt and post-salt reserves. The area is estimated to hold more than two billion barrels of oil equivalent (boe) recoverable reserves.
The current aggregate production from the Parque das Baleias cluster is estimated to be 222,000 barrels of oil and six million cubic metres (mcm) of gas per day. The offshore field complex with a total of four floating, production, storage and offloading (FPSO) units, reached the cumulative production of one billion barrel of oil equivalent (boe) in May 2020.
The Agencia Nacional do Petroleo (ANP) and Petrobras signed a unification agreement to create the New Jubarte field comprising the Baleia Azul, Baleia Franca, and the Jubarte fields as well as portions of the Cachalote, Caxaréu, Mangangá, and Pirambu fields in April 2020. ANP also decided to extend the production phase of the New Jubarte Field by an additional 27 years until 2056, as part of the agreement.
