Innovation Strategy for the Oil & Gas Sector:
Pre-salt and Exploratory Frontiers
Focus on the upstream: analysis of E & P challenges
• Characterization of complex and
heterogeneous reservoirs (e.g. pre-salt
carbonates)
• Drilling and well operations in the Salt
Layer – efficiency and risk mitigation
(safety and environment)
• Logistics, data availability,
environmental sensitivity and
vulnerability in exploratory frontiers
(environmental licensing, oil spill
preparedness and response)
Pilot Project: Digital Rock Physics for Carbonates Reservoirs
• Financial leverage – FINEP Bid (2013):
 404 projects in competition
 Concremat ranked 8th among the approved proposals
 R$3,7 Million (subvention) + R$1,9 Million (counterpart)
• Main deliverable for the industry:
 Innovative software for simulation of porosity, permeability and capillary
pressure in carbonate plugs, supported by laboratory measurements, with
100% local content and significant reduction of time in obtaining strategic
information (from months to a week)
• Main results expected for Concremat:
 Contribution in a priority area of investigation worldwide
 Consolidation of industrial collaboration and academic partnerships
 Implementation of a continuous innovation process in the segment of
geosciences
Pilot Project– Digital Rock Physics for Carbonates Reservoirs
Important landmarks
Our Laboratory facilities for petrophysics measurements – Rio de Janeiro
• Detail photographic record
• Fluid removal (oil, formation water and inorganic salts) – Soxhlet extractor
• Laboratory analyses - absolute and effective porosity, absolute permeability
(including Klinkenberg slip correction factor)
• Microtomography images (including Capturing, processing, analyzing and
interpreting)
Our Laboratory facilities for petrophysics measurements – Rio de Janeiro
Mission to Norway in September 2015:
Follow-up
Objectives
• Exchange information on the state of the art technologies and best
practices in priority areas:
 Reservoir Characterization
 Drilling & Well Operations
 Marine Environmental Issues
 Waste management (Energy and Oil & Gas Sectors)
 Offshore Decommissioning
• Strengthen our international network and prospect complementary
partnerships for innovative services and RD&I projects (O&G, Energy
and Environment)
Main results and perspectives
• Fruitful discussions with institutions such as Ministry of Petroleum and
Energy, SINTEF, SIMULA, Institute for Energy Technology and private
companies
• Concrete collaboration scopes / projects identified and timetable of
actions aligned
• A first joint RD&I project elaborated and submitted in September – a
synopsis will be presented on the technical session “Exploration - basin
analysis and restoration” (November 24th)
RD&I Challenges: Focus on Integrated
Collaboration for Efficient Solutions
Relevance of RD&I, current world scenario and Brazil: what
is at stake?
• Address the challenges of Brazil’s offshore context and its specific
geology, reinforcing our attractiveness for the Oil & Gas industry
• Elaborate and implement solid long term strategies - efficiency oriented
- despite the current instability
• Gather efforts and strengthen the collaboration of all the actors, in
Brazil and abroad: Industry and Supply Chain, Governments, Research
Institutions and Universities
• Consolidate Brazil’s supply chain high added value to the world industry
Focus on integrated collaboration for efficient solutions
• How to improve the model of integrated technical and technological
collaboration between all the actors, ensuring a more active
participation of Brazil’s supply chain in the whole process of RD&I
projects?
• How to optimize the sinergy and complementarity of competencies and
potentials between Brazil and Norway?
• What institutional policies and instruments shall be adopted to promote
this collaboration and mitigate investment risks?
Let’s answer these questions together during this
November Conference!
Thank you!
