Porti & ambiente — le notizie raccolte

The good news:Nikola Jokićfinally got to play with an All-Star. Jamal Murraywas brilliant in the regular season and, at long last, we witnessed the first Jokić teammate to be named to either All-Star, All-NBA or All-Defense in the Serbian’s 11-year career. So here is the bad news: It’s time to trade Murray. Because at this point, I don’t see another way out of this mess for Jokić. After winning the title in 2023, the Nuggets have fallen out of contention with a fading and increasingly expensive roster that is set to go deep into the tax. After Thursday’s disappointingfirst-round exitto theTimberwolves, Jokić told reporters, “I still want to be a Nugget forever.” He conceded that the Nuggets were “far away” from contention and, when asked about whether changes needed to be made, he said, "That's not my decision, to be honest. Definitely, if we were in Serbia, we would all get fired." Now,Denvermight have no choice but to deal Jokić’s co-pilot, Murray, while it still can get something of value in return. A year ago, I argued thatJokić had every right to ask for a trade out of Denverbecause of the continued lack of star support around him. He didn’t ask out, and he still probably won’t. But he should have, if nothing else, to sound the alarms for the organization. As far as putting pressure on the front office, the “we would all get fired” line is likely as far as Jokić will go. This time last year,Nuggetspresident Josh Kroenke made the decision to fire head coach Michael Malone and general manager Calvin Booth days before the end of the season. Instead of looking outside the organization, Kroenke promoted from within ranks, calling it an“unorthodox”setup with Ben Tenzer and Jonathan Wallace heading up the front office and longtime assistant David Adelman taking over on the sidelines. Unorthodox and ultimately unsuccessful — again. The Thunder ousted the Nuggets in the second round last year and, unfortunately for Jokić, yet another magnificent season has been wasted in 2025-26. Even the short-handed Minnesota Timberwolves, withoutAnthony Edwards,Donte DiVincenzoandAyo Dosunmufor the end of the series, were able to thwart the Nuggets in the first round. Clearly, the Nuggets aren’t close to returning to the top of the West.Oklahoma Citylooks as dominant as ever. TheVictor Wembanyama takeoverhas arrived.The Los Angeles LakershaveLuka Dončić. As is, the Western Conference is leaving Jokić and the Nuggets in the dust. It’s not Jokić’s fault. Four-time Defensive Player of the YearRudy Goberthad him in fits at times in this series, but he still averaged 25.8 points, 13.2 rebounds and 9.5 assists. He struggled with his shot (just 47.5% effective field goal percentage), but a low-grade Jokić should still be enough to survive the Timberwolves’ B-Team — if any of his teammates stepped up. That’s the issue. Denver’s supporting cast is still a massive problem and it’s deteriorating fast. Let’s start withAaron Gordon. The body of Jokić’s top frontcourt mate, now on the wrong side of 30, has betrayed him. He played just 36 games this season and missed half the series against Minnesota with calf issues. Since last postseason when he pulled his hamstring in the playoffs, Gordon has been a shell of himself, unable to consistently offer the dynamic, above-the-rim presence that complemented Jokić’s game so well. With only 75 starts in the last two seasons, the team is stuck owing Gordon $110 million over the next three seasons. Cam Johnsonwas supposed to help matters. After the second-round exit against the Thunder, the organization sentMichael Porter Jr.anda 2032 first-round pick toBrooklynfor the sweet-shooting Johnson. The hope was that Johnson could provide Porter’s elite floor-spacing and cutting at a fraction of the cost. Instead, Porter enjoyed a breakout season, averaging 24.2 points and 7.1 rebounds, while Johnson faltered throughout the season in his place. With long-term savings from the Porter trade, the team signedChristian Braunto a frothy $125 million extension that will kick in next season, hoping that his 2024-25 breakout season was a sign of things to come. Instead, Braun, like Gordon, endured an injury-riddled campaign, averaging just 12.0 points, 4.8 rebounds and 2.7 assists with almost no floor-spacing in just 44 games. At his 2025-26 salary of just under $5 million, that’s not a problem. But starting next year, his salary soars to $21 million and will increase to $28 million by 2030-31 when Jokić is 36 years old. Denver’s only compelling young player,Peyton Watson, will be a restricted free agent. But even he has health questions after playing just 54 games this season and missing the entire first round of the playoffs with a devastating hamstring injury. Watson’s contract will likely be too expensive for Kroenke’s taste. As is, the Nuggets are projected to go deep into the tax with Braun’s big extension kicking in next season. According to Spotrac.com data, the Nuggets face a $16 million tax bill even without Watson and their 2026 first-round pick on the books. After a breakout season, Watson should command something in the neighborhood of Braun’s extension. It’s doubtful the organization will open up its wallet even more after the first-round out and bring back this underwhelming group. To put it in perspective, we can consult the advanced metrics fromdunksandthrees.comand quantify the Nuggets’ personnel around Jokić. This season, there were 85 players not named “Nikola Jokić” who registered at least five estimated wins added. Do you know how many of those 85 were on the Nuggets’ roster? Just one. Jamal Murray. Victor Wembanyama had not one, not two, but four teammates who eclipsed that mark. Same withShai Gilgeous-Alexander. Luka Dončić had two:LeBron JamesandAustin Reaves. But Jokić, who delivered 17.2 eWins this season, saw his third-best teammate, Johnson, clock in at merely 4.4 eWins. Gordon limped to a 3.7 eWin figure, just ahead of Watson at 3.3. With the bulk of the roster holding negative trade value, it’ll be almost impossible for the Nuggets to upgrade without moving Murray at the peak of his powers. Murray carries a steep salary at $50 million next season, $53.8 million in 2027-28 and $57.5 million, but there may be no better time to sell than now while he’s coming off an All-NBA level campaign. The Nuggets may have to break up Murray’s salary into multiple pieces to help shore up their woeful defense, which ranked 21st in the NBA in the regular season and made Dosunmu (43 points in Game 4) andTerrence Shannon Jr.(21 points in clinching Game 6) look like stars. Look at the books. How else would they upgrade the roster in a meaningful way? It won’t be painless. The easiest thing to do would be to run it back with this group. But doing so would risk Murray getting hurt or regressing to pre-2025-26 levels, which would prove disastrous at his cap number. Gordon, Braun and Johnson certainly aren’t bringing in real talent. Here are three trade ideas that can allow the Nuggets to use Murray for potential upgrades: Nuggets receive: Collin Murray-Boyles RJ Barrett Jakob Poeltl Raptors receive: Jamal Murray Zeke Nnaji This is a bet on CMB being the nextDraymond Green, a defensive mastermind who could flourish next to Jokić’s other-wordly playmaking abilities. Trading for a 20-year-old next to Jokić would be a timeline risk, but the blossoming South Carolina product could instantly step in as Denver’s best defensive player and provide much-needed athleticism. Balancing the defensive end of the floor has to be a priority while getting 80% of Murray’s offensive exploits with fellow Canadian guard Barrett. For the Raptors, the team would be loading up on star power in an open Eastern Conference. Murray is a clear upgrade on Barrett and would be coming home to Ontario where he grew up. It’d be tough to part ways with CMB, but flipping the ninth overall pick in the 2025 draft for an All-NBA talent in his prime would be a haul for the aspiring East contender. To make contracts work, Poeltl and Nnaji would be included. Jonas Valančiūnas’ 2026-27 salary is not guaranteed, paving the way for Poeltl to step in as Jokić’s backup. Nuggets receive: Kevin Durant 2029 first-round pick (via PHX) Rockets receive: Jamal Murray Kevin Durant never made sense on a roster withoutFred VanVleet(ACL) andSteven Adams(ankle) healthy, and the Durant experiment inHoustonmay very well be over before it ever really began. (We’ll see how things go against the Lakers from here.) At his age, Durant isn’t a massive upgrade defensively over Murray, but he helps lengthen the Nuggets, who are severely lacking in the athleticism department, especially with Gordon constantly lumbering. By many measures, Durant was better than Murray this season and the 37-year-old’s contract ($6 million less than Murray next season) will also help Denver shave its payroll and provide flexibility as the team desperately tries to navigate the apron world. To mitigate the risk of a Durant injury, the Nuggets will receive the 2029 first-round pick (via Phoenix) and help grease Denver’s ability to pivot. Durant holds a player option for $46 million in 2027-28, which even if he picks it up, Denver would be off of his money a year before Murray’s contract expires. On the Houston side, the Rockets get significantly younger and don’t have to pretzel themselves into win-now mode with Durant as he approaches 40. At 29, Murray is a much more polished and proven playoff scorer compared toJalen Green, who was moved along withDillon Brooksand the rights toKhaman Maluach, for Durant last summer. Nuggets receive: Ausar Thompson Duncan Robinson Caris Levert Pistons receive: Jamal Murray DEN’s 2026 first-round pick Denver needs an athletic defender.Detroitneeds an elite shot creator. It’s hard to find contenders with such compatible needs. Thompson may be untouchable, but the Nuggets have to at least make the call if the Pistons are embarrassed by theOrlando Magicwith a first-round out. That’s a big if. Still just 23 years old, Thompson received the third-most votes in a runaway Defensive Player of the Year vote, which may overstate his immediate value a tad, but if there’s a target for Denver, it’s that guy. Thompson would be a monster athlete and rim finisher who would be tailor-made for Jokić’s virtuoso passing abilities. You thought Gordon in the dunker spot next to Jokić was a devastating threat? Ausar could be even more electric in that role. Of course, he’ll need to dramatically improve his outside shooting to maximize his potential, but Gordon was able to do that when he caught passes from Jokić. We’ll see what happens in the Orlando series, but it’s easy to see that Detroit’s half-court offense needs a massive upgrade in the shot-creation department and few players would shore up that department better than Murray in his prime. The Pistons’ core will get more expensive onceJalen Duren’s extension kicks in, but there are serious questions about whether Duren and Thompson can coexist in the half-court in the playoffs.

We’ve picked out the best Macs for students right now, including the MacBook Neo, the latest MacBook Air and Pro models, and even desktop alternatives like the Mac mini. Here are our top recommendations based on price, performance and what most students actually need. The MacBook Air is the ideal laptop for most students, offering an excellent balance of portability, battery life, and performance. With the introduction of the M5 chip in early 2026, it further strengthens its position as a dependable everyday “workhorse” for academic and light creative use. You might assume the MacBook Air is significantly less powerful than the MacBook Pro, but that’s not entirely the case. The entry-level MacBook Pro uses the same M5 chip, meaning day-to-day performance is very similar. The Pro does offer additional advantages, such as improved cooling, more ports and a higher-end display, which we’ll explore in more detail below. The MacBook Air’s biggest advantage is its lightweight, fanless design. It’s easy to carry between classes and operates completely silently – ideal for lectures, libraries, and study spaces. Combined with all-day battery life, it’s well-suited to students who spend long hours away from power outlets. MacBook Air offers the following benefits: The MacBook Air is the mainstream choice for students who want a reliable, versatile laptop without the cost or weight of a Pro model. It’s ideal for: While the MacBook Pro is designed for sustained, high-end professional workloads, the MacBook Air delivers more than enough performance for the majority of students, including: Choosing the Air over the MacBook Pro or the budget-friendly MacBook Neo involves several specific tradeoffs regarding sustained power, display technology, and port selection. You’ll also see the best prices right now in the block above, which may be even better than Apple’s education pricing. Read our fullApple 13-inch MacBook Air (M5, 2026) review The MacBook Neo is Apple’s most affordable laptop, launched in March 2026 to target the education market. While the MacBook Air remains the mainstream choice for students, the Neo is designed to compete directly with Chromebooks and low-cost Windows laptops – bringing the macOS experience to a much lower price point. The MacBook Neo’s biggest advantage is value. It delivers a premium-feeling Mac experience at a significantly lower cost, making it especially appealing to students on a tight budget. MacBook Neo offers the following benefits: The MacBook Neo is ideal for students who want a reliable, well-built laptop for everyday use without paying for higher-end performance. It’s ideal for: The MacBook Neo is best suited for students with simple, everyday computing needs. For more demanding workflows – such as advanced video editing, 3D work, or software development – the MacBook Air (M5) or MacBook Pro models remain better choices. The MacBook Neo is optimized for typical student use and handles everyday tasks with ease, including: As a low-priced device so the specs are basic, but should be enough to handle the “day-to-day stuff” essential for schoolwork, such as writing papers, browsing, and streaming. To reach its lower price, the MacBook Neo makes several compromises compared to the Air and Pro models, so there are some trade-offs to consider: You’ll also see the best prices right now in the block above, which may be even better than Apple’s education pricing. Read our fullApple MacBook Neo review While the MacBook Air is the best choice for most students, the MacBook Pro is designed for those who need sustained performance, a superior display, and more advanced features. It’s the top option for students working with demanding software or intensive workloads. The MacBook Pro’s biggest advantage is sustained performance. With active cooling and more powerful chip options, it’s built to handle heavy workloads without slowing down. Key benefits of the MacBook Pro include: The MacBook Pro is ideal for students whose coursework or projects require high performance and professional-grade tools. For most students needing Pro-level performance, the 14-inch M5 MacBook Pro offers the best balance of power and portability. Those in more demanding fields may benefit from M5 Pro or M5 Max configurations. The MacBook Pro is built to maintain high performance over long periods, making it ideal for demanding academic tasks. The current lineup is powered by the M5 family of chips, offering a wide range of performance options: While powerful, the MacBook Pro comes with a few downsides compared to the Air: The Mac mini is a strong option for students who prioritize performance and value over portability. While laptops are the default for university life, the Mac mini offers a powerful, lower-cost entry into the macOS ecosystem for those who primarily work at a desk. Students who need mobility for lectures can pair a Mac mini with an iPad or another device for note-taking, using the desktop as their main workstation at home. The Mac mini’s biggest advantage is performance per pound (or dollar). It delivers desktop-class power at a much lower price than a MacBook, making it one of the best-value Macs available. Key benefits of the Mac mini include: The Mac mini is ideal for students who primarily work from a fixed location and want maximum performance for their budget. The Mac mini is highly capable for both everyday and demanding academic tasks. The latest Mac mini models offer strong desktop performance in a compact form: Processor options: M4: Excellent for general student use; M4 Pro: Higher performance for demanding creative and technical work.Memory: Starts at 16GB unified memory; Up to 64GB on M4 Pro models.Storage: Starts at 256GB SSD, 512GB or higher recommended for most students.Ports & connectivity: Thunderbolt 4 (M4) or Thunderbolt 5 (M4 Pro), HDMI and front-facing USB-C portsSupports multiple external displays: Some models can support up to three displays at once. While powerful and affordable, the Mac mini has some important limitations: For most students, the 13-inch MacBook Air (M5) is the best overall choice, offering the ideal balance of portability, battery life, and performance. If your budget is tight the MacBook Neo delivers the Mac experience at a significantly lower cost. If you’re a creative student who wants more screen space – but doesn’t need full Pro power – the 15-inch MacBook Air is a strong middle ground. The MacBook Pro is best reserved for students with demanding workloads like 4K video editing, software development, or 3D modelling. The MacBook Neo is Apple’s most affordable laptop. Despite using an A18 Pro chip, it delivers a full macOS experience for everyday schoolwork. Why it’s a good fit for education: The 13-inch MacBook Air (M5) is the best choice for most university students. It offers a strong mix of performance, portability, and battery life, making it suitable for a wide range of majors. Why it’s a good fit for higher education: For students in computer science or engineering, performance and memory are key. Heavier workloads will benefit from the MacBook Pro. Why it’s a good fit: For students working in video editing, design, or 3D workflows, the MacBook Pro is the best choice due to its superior display and sustained performance. Why it’s a good fit: How do the different types of MacBook compare? Foundry Choosing between the MacBook Air, MacBook Neo and MacBook Pro for students in 2026 depends primarily on your major and budget. For the vast majority of students, the MacBook Air is the best choice due to its balance of portability and performance, while the MacBook Pro is reserved for those with demanding technical workloads. If your budget is tight, the MacBook Neo is an affordable entry to macOS with performance that is good enough for common tasks. Alternatively you could purchase a previous generation MacBook Air, eitherrefurbished, or if old stock is being sold off at a discount. See ourMacBook Air deals roundup. Foundry Choosing between a MacBook and an iPad depends on your course requirements and how you prefer to work. While the iPad has evolved into a versatile device that can replace a laptop for some students, the MacBook remains the stronger option for multitasking and full desktop software. For students with more demanding workflows, the MacBook is generally the better long-term choice. It offers a full desktop operating system with broader software support and more advanced multitasking. The iPad is a strong option for students who prioritize portability, note-taking, and creative input methods. It works especially well as a companion device or for specific types of learning.

You can also buy refurbished Macs from third-party resellers, though quality can vary – so always check what “refurbished” includes before buying. Read our advice aboutbuying a refurbished Mac, including Pros, cons, savings, and what to avoid. Yes. The MacBook Neo is considered an excellent choice for students with more than enough power for the average student. However, students in specialized fields like engineering, 4K video editing, or heavy software development may find the device limiting. The MacBook Air is the best laptop for most students due to its balance of portability, battery life, and performance. While the Air is “good enough” for the vast majority, a MacBook Pro is better for heavy workloads, connectivity and display tech. 8GB should be sufficient, but we recommend 16GB. For most students, 256GB of storage is a functional minimum rather than an ideal long-term solution. It can work if you rely heavily on cloud storage, but many students will find it fills up quickly over time. 256GB is usually enough for basic academic tasks such as writing essays, web browsing, streaming, and light media use. However, modern operating systems and apps take up more space than ever, and storage can fill up faster than expected. Performance can also suffer as a drive nears capacity. A common rule of thumb is to buy at least twice the storage you think you’ll need to allow for growth and maintain performance. For most students, 512GB is now the practical minimum if your budget allows. It provides more flexibility and longevity, especially as course materials and apps grow in size. Apple Intelligence brings a range of AI-powered tools to Macs designed to support academic work – from smarter note-taking to writing assistance and automation. These features are increasingly integrated into everyday apps like Notes, Messages, and Shortcuts. Useful features include: While these features can boost productivity, it is important to note that over-reliance on AI for writing could raise plagiarism or originality concerns if not used carefully. Not all Apple devices support Apple Intelligence and some features are still less advanced than competing AI platforms. There is no “best MacBook for students” because everyone has different needs and choosing the best MacBook for a student depends on balancing academic requirements, portability, and budget. With the introduction of the MacBook Neo, Apple has significantly expanded its entry-level options, making the decision more complex than simply picking the most popular model. When evaluating which model fits your needs, consider these primary components: In conclusion, we recommend the following Macs depending on your use case: Karen has worked on both sides of the Apple divide, clocking up a number of years at Apple's PR agency prior to joining Macworld more than two decades ago.

Amazon Amazon Another certified winner when it comes to gifts is often the Kindle. An e-reader is a great present for anyone who enjoys devouring books on the go, and the Matcha colorway from the classic Kindle range is not only arguably the prettiest model but also the most affordable. Penguin Classics Amazon A Kindle is always a good idea, but if your grad loves a physical book, then this box set from Penguin, featuring 80 of the publisher's Little Black Classics, is hard to beat, especially for a grad trying to make their new space a home with their own mini library. Reading is, indeed,fundamental! Philips Amazon A Hatch is a great gift and often included in gift guides aplenty, but the last thing a recent graduate probably wants is another subscription. This SmartSleep light from Philips, which also doubles as a radio, is a great alternative that won't break the bank if they just want to test out a wake-up light device. Shark Amazon With graduation season also comes allergy season, so in the realm of practical gifts, an air purifier is also a great idea. This compact one from Shark packs a punch while also being easy on the eye, with versions in lilac, pink, green, and more. JULY Amazon One of the most practical gifts for a college graduate starting out in a new job is awork bag, and this one from July will tick most boxes. It's an elevated version of a classic tote bag, perfect for on-the-go, with a pass-through band, a laptop sleeve, and a water bottle holder. Samsonite Amazon If you know the graduate in your life has the travel bug and you feel the packing cubes above aren't enough, a luggage set like this one from Samsonite, featuring a small carry-on and a large check-in bag, is a gift that will last them for years, whether they use them for leisure, work, or a mix of both. We all need trusty luggage to tow around the world as we enter adulthood, and a brand like Samsonite is top-of-the-line. Nintendo Amazon You have noticed that many of the gifts in this guide focus on practicality, but grads also need fun. If it fits your budget, something like the Nintendo Switch 2 console, which works just as well for on-the-go as it does at home, will certainly earn you the best gift-giver award. Apple Amazon Also higher on the budget spectrum is the MacBook Neo, Apple's new under-$600 laptop, which is perfect for graduates heading to college and looking for their first "adult" laptop. It's the more affordable computer in the Apple ecosystem, so it's great to test the waters and will be more than enough for writing, minor editing, and browsing. Amazon Amazon Last but very much not least istheperfect last-minute gift for graduates: a digital gift card that they can use on anything their heart desires. Don't let the masses fool you into thinking a gift card is lame or not thoughtful; sometimes it can be the opposite. While material gifts can be super practical and great mementos, giving someone the chance to get whatever they actually need without the financial burden is literally priceless—at least for them. If you want to make it graduation-appropriate, you can opt for this timely version and load it up with anything from as little as $5.00 up to $2,000, so it could also be a great group gift that could change someone's life after graduation.

EnBW has awarded framework agreements for subsea inspection services across its offshore wind fleet in the Baltic Sea and North Sea, with RS Diving Contractor selected for both of the two lots covering the company’s assets in the Baltic Sea and the North Sea. The contracts, signed on April 7, cover inspections executed using remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) at multiple offshore wind farms and have a combined value of over €7.2 million, according to a notice on the EU tenders website. Under the agreements, RS Diving will carry out periodic subsea inspections at the Baltic 1 and Baltic 2 offshore wind farms, as well as the Hohe See, Albatros, and He Dreiht offshore wind farms in the North Sea. The scope includes visual and functional inspections of underwater support structures for wind turbines and offshore substations, to be performed in line with German regulatory standards and wind farm-specific inspection plans. In the Baltic Sea, all 21 turbines and the offshore substation at Baltic 1 will be inspected every four years, with the next campaign scheduled for 2027. At the Baltic 2 offshore wind farm, 20 turbines will be inspected annually, representing 25% of the assets, while the offshore substation will follow a four-year cycle. In the North Sea, inspections will cover around 25% of turbines each year at Hohe See and Albatros, with offshore substations inspected every four years. At He Dreiht,currently under construction, 16 turbines are planned for annual inspection on the same 25% basis. Offshore campaigns are scheduled to take place between April and September each year, with the contractor responsible for vessel provision, logistics, and deployment of ROV systems, as well as reporting and documentation. The framework agreements run until March 31, 2031, with options to extend by up to three additional one-year periods. Take the spotlight and anchor your brand in the heart of the offshore world!

As global exploration and production (E&P) players are facing a 40% output drop, Wood Mackenzie, an energy intelligence group, has pointed out that oil and gas companies are increasing high-impact exploration investment to address a 300-billion-barrel supply gap and energy security priorities by 2050. The company’s research shows that the world’s 30 largest exploration and production companies are looking at production declines averaging nearly 40% between 2025 and 2040 as the upstream industry confronts the 300-billion-barrel oil gap by 2050, which is driving renewed investment in ultra-deepwater frontier exploration as countries seek supply diversification and strategic energy security. According to an analysis published by Wood Mackenzie, current on-stream fields will deliver only 700 billion barrels of the almost 1,000 billion barrels needed to meet cumulative liquids demand through 2050 under the firm’s base case without additional discoveries or field extensions. As a result, companies need to look beyond near-term volatility and shape resource capture strategies to fill the gap in volumes. With this in mind, WoodMac underlines that exploration, which has an important role to play, has a good economic track record, as the sector created $120 billion in value between 2021 and 2025 at $85 per barrel Brent, or $54 billion at $65 per barrel Brent, after deducting $97 billion of exploration spend. “Resource security priorities are reshaping exploration strategy. Major oil companies are taking majority ownership positions in frontier prospects to secure advantaged resources that can displace higher-cost production,”emphasized Wood Mackenzie, adding that BP holds 100% equity in itsBumerangueoil, gas, and condensate discovery in Brazil, announced in August 2025. The energy intelligence group elaborates that the development of Bumerangue is valued at $5.7 billion, lifting exploration industry value creation in 2025 to over $10 billion. The company underscores that seven major oil companies plus national oil companies, including Petrobras, Petronas, and Türkiye’s TPAO, possess the technical capability and risk appetite required for ultra-deepwater operations at depths exceeding 1,500 meters. In addition, independents such as Murphy, APA Corporation, and Woodside are increasingly operating in deepwater. While the industry spend averaged $19 billion annually across 633 exploration wells from 2021 to 2025, the 2025 figure of $16 billion across 388 wells is perceived to represent a temporary deviation. Wood Mackenzie’s research indicates that investment remained stable despite a near-doubling of rig day rates, which comprise a substantial part of well costs. Non-operating partners, including QatarEnergy, provided additional capital through joint ventures in Brazil, Namibia, Cyprus, and the Republic of Congo.

Investment shift from low carbon toward upstream to continue in 2026 Andrew Latham, Senior Vice President, Energy Research, commented:“The first four big wells we tracked in 2026 came in dry – that’s the game, and players know the risks.When ultra-deepwater exploration works, single discoveries like Bumerangue generate many billions in value. Companies with deepwater expertise are taking concentrated equity positions because the economics work at US$65 Brent.” The firm underscores that ultra-deepwater drilling is concentrated in areas following recent high-value discoveries by ExxonMobil in Guyana; Eni in Côte D’Ivoire, Indonesia, and Cyprus; BP in Brazil; and TPAO in the Black Sea. However, frontier explorers are widening the net to underexplored basins, including Brazil’s Foz do Amazonas and extensions of existing plays in Angola and Suriname. Wood Mackenzie identified 23 high-impact wells in 2026, which either have the potential to prove the viability of frontier basins or build upon the success of last year’s super-giant discoveries. While Petrobras’ Morpho-1 with 800 million barrels of oil equivalent potential has the chance to open up the Foz do Amazonas basin, the company claims that Equinor’s S-M-1378-1 in Brazil’s Santos Basin could prove the viability of pre-salt microbial carbonates beyond BP’s Bumerangue discovery.

Scotland-headquartered offshore drilling contractor Odfjell Drilling hasbeen served with an order from Norway’s offshore safety regulator, which investigated an incident that resulted in an injury at a semi-submersible rig deployed on the Norwegian Continental Shelf (NCS). The Norwegian Ocean Industry Authority (Havtil) has looked into the incident on Odfjell Drilling’sDeepsea Nordkappsemi-submersible drilling rig, which occurred on October 8, 2025, in which a person was injured during a lifting operation. At the time of the incident, the rig was engaged in drilling and completion operations on theSymra fieldfor Aker BP. The activities involved handling a logging tool that was to be moved from the catwalk to the pipe deck using the starboard offshore knuckle boom crane. Three people were directly involved in the incident: the crane operator and two deck operators, who served as the signaller and the slinger, respectively. The logging tool, which weighed 2.67 tonnes and was 11.81 meters long, swung uncontrollably during the lifting operation and struck the deck operator, acting as the slinger, in the chest area. The deck operator was seriously injured and flown ashore by the SAR service for medical treatment. The Norwegian Ocean Industry Authority explained that the deck operator was struck by the logging tool and suffered a broken arm and several broken ribs. The person also sustained internal injuries. The incident did not result in any material damage or environmental contamination. Based on the regulator’s data, the incident could have resulted in more serious injuries or death under slightly different circumstances. The direct cause of the incident was found to be in the load not being fully under control during the lifting operation, while the deck operator, who was injured, was standing in the path of the load and, at times, directly beneath it. As a result, the person was struck by the load while the crane operator was trying to regain control. The probe identified serious regulatory breaches; thus, the regulator has issued the company an order. The underlying causes of the incident entail inventory and inventory overview, deficient expertise and experience in the offshore organization, handover, planning and execution of lifting operation, work permits, follow-up of own organization, and safety culture. In addition, four non-conformities were identified, including planning and execution of the lifting operation, transfer of information at shift and crew changes, handling of hazard and accident situations, and follow-up. Given the identified serious regulatory breaches, the regulator has issued Odfjell Drilling with the order that asks the company to identify the reasons why requirements for lifting operations were not complied with, including requirements for competence and training.

One-year encore for Odfjell Drilling’s rig with Norwegian oil & gas operator The rig owner has also been ordered to implement measures to ensure compliance with lifting operation requirements, identify the reasons why the requirements for handover meetings and the planning of lifting operations were not complied with, and put in place measures to ensure compliance with the requirements for handover meetings and the planning of lifting operations. The firm has also been told to review the process to ensure that the follow-up activities described in governing documents are planned and carried out in a risk-based and appropriate manner, and evaluate measures, alongside the impact of the measures outlined in the second, fourth, and fifth items. The deadline for complying with the first five segments of the order is June 1, 2026. Havtil requested a meeting to be scheduled by June 5, 2026, to present the findings and proposed measures. The end date for complying with the final item is October 2, 2026, with a meeting requested to be scheduled with the regulator by October 9, 2026, to present the results. The 2019-built Deepsea Nordkapp, formerly Stena Midmax, is a sixth-generation dynamically positioned harsh environment and winterized semi-submersible of a Moss-enhanced CS 60E design, which the offshore drilling contractor bought from Samsung Heavy in April 2018. Odfjell Drilling was among the three offshore drilling contractors thatwon drilling and wells alliance dealswith Aker BP in January 2023 to undertake drilling activities on the Norwegian Continental Shelf (NCS). The Deepsea Nordkapp rig’s assignment, previously slated to be completed at the end of 2024, wasprolongedto run for two more years.
