    "overview": "OEC (Odebrecht Engineering & Construction) is a Brazilian engineering and heavy-construction contractor founded in 1944. Its documented work spans hydropower and thermal generation, industrial plants, oil and gas, pipelines, transport, ports, airports, sanitation and public facilities. Depending on the contract, delivery includes engineering, procurement, civil construction, electromechanical assembly and commissioning, directly or through subsidiaries and consortia. Project capacity figures below describe the whole asset, not OEC-only output. OEC and its parent Novonor are separate corporate entities; OEC entered judicial reorganization proceedings in Brazil in 2024, a material corporate context for evaluating current operations.",
