The reduction of carbon dioxide emissions is at the heart of the energy transition. In recent years, there have been signs of a decoupling between emissions and economic growth, especially in Europe and the US. This divergence is necessary for the world to move toward NET ZERO. To translate these successes into lasting global transition pathways, faster progress and additional decarbonization options are needed, especially in hard-to-abate sectors. Carbon intensity reduction depends on the implementation of effective decarbonization measures, now and over the next six years, to meet the 2030 climate targets. Ongoing efforts to reduce methane intensity and flaring are essential, and long-term initiatives to leverage CCUS will begin to play a role as efforts increase. For many companies, however, the strongest lever to significantly reduce emissions is better energy management, such as energy efficiency initiatives, electrification of operations, integration of renewable energies, or cogeneration of electricity and heat. According to the OGCI, improving efficiency is a great way to reduce emissions, as less than half of the energy we produce is converted into useful products. The other half is "wasted" but can still produce emissions. We see this across the oil and gas sector and find excellent investment opportunities in industrial, commercial, and transportation efficiency. According to Petrobras' GHG emissions inventory, SIGEA, for the last year of 2023, about 11.6 million tons of CO2eq in the E&P sector come from power generation, i.e., turbines, which accounts for 60% of GHG emissions in E&P. Currently, Petrobras has systems in place to monitor energy processes and produce indicators of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. However, these online platforms are not able to use existing data to provide a view of plant energy efficiency, proposing process optimization recommendations for continuous improvement and GHG emission reduction. This challenge seeks to test digital solutions capable of reducing fuel consumption in the FPSO thermal generation units to ensure optimization of energy availability and operational continuity while reducing GHG emissions.

Hull integrity management software must have the following features and functionalities:

Inspection management: The software must allow the management of inspections of tanks in production units, enabling the creation of a periodic inspection cycle and automating the process of opening tanks for inspection.

Engineering documentation: The software must allow the development and storage of engineering documents related to inspections, such as the tank inspection manual, inspection reports and spreadsheets with records of thickness measurements.

Centralized storage: The software must provide centralized storage of all documentation related to tank inspections, replacing the current dispersed storage in network or BDOC environments of the naval engineering management of the business units.

Registration of exceptionalities: The software must allow the recording of exceptionalities that occurred in the last inspection of the compartment, such as structural problems identified or the need for specific interventions, ensuring that this information is considered in the next inspection cycle.

Technical recommendations: The software must allow the recording of technical recommendations to be evaluated in the next inspection cycle, providing a history of improvements and enhancements that can be implemented.

Increased efficiency: The software must be a fundamental ally in increasing the efficiency of inspections of FPSOs' structural compartments, enabling more agile and precise management, reducing costs and time dedicated to prescriptive inspections.

Therefore, Petrobras needs a structural integrity management program for tanks in operating units, which is capable of centralizing information, automating processes, storing engineering documents, recording exceptionalities and technical recommendations, in addition to increasing the efficiency of inspections.

One of the main ways to stimulate oil production in a well is through the pumping of a mixture of various acids into the reservoir rock. The acid dissolves impurities and clears the pores of the reservoir rock. However, in many thick and highly productive reservoirs, such as pre-salt reservoirs, due to the high heterogeneities found, combined with the configurations of wells with packed completions, the distribution of acid treatment in the formation tends to be severely hindered, which may result in the reduction of the areas of the reservoir that are effectively treated and, consequently, in the success of the acidification operation.

To mitigate this problem and achieve better acid coverage in the zone to be treated, the intention here is to develop a slide sleeve valve to be installed at the base of the reservoir sections to be treated. This valve will work to improve acid diversion, ensuring that the entire volume of pumped acid reaches all sections of the reservoir that need treatment. These valves are intended to be of double acting remote type, meaning they must have two operating stages (open and close) that will be remotely activated by a mechanical element launched from the surface (ball, dart, etc.). 

Therefore, this actuation mechanism and slide sleeve valve, which already exist in the market as two separate tools, only need to be integrated, tested, and qualified for use at Petrobras.

Development of a robotic solution capable of performing hull cleaning and inspection for production platforms. Currently, support vessels are used, which have a high amount of non-productive time, resulting in reduced net inspection activity time. This leads to high resource unavailability, high costs, and consequently an increased risk of delays in UWILD inspections. Finally, there is a risk of losing certifications, which could ultimately result in the shutdown of the production unit (UEP).

Cleaning hydrocarbon storage tanks is a complex and challenging task that requires precision, safety, and efficiency. Over time, storage tanks for dark products, including oil, accumulate residues such as sediments and chemical deposits, compromising storage capacity and product quality. During maintenance processes, cleaning becomes essential to ensure safe access to the interior of the equipment and to enable the necessary services to be carried out.

Currently, this activity is performed manually, requiring a high volume of labor and taking place in environments hostile to workers' health. Additionally, the execution time is extensive, directly impacting service productivity.

The greenhouse gas methane has a potential 25 times greater than CO2. Methane is emitted into the atmosphere either naturally or anthropogenically, such as from agriculture, waste, and energy. Methane emissions in the oil and gas chain are considered loss-type emissions, meaning avoidable emissions of this gas, which has value as a product. Reducing methane emissions in the oil and gas chain lies in incorporating monitoring campaigns, which are cost-effective actions, meaning investments with financial returns for oil and gas companies. 

In line with this, Petrobras signed an agreement with the Oil & Gas Methane Partnership (OGMP) 2.0, a global initiative coordinated by the UN, dedicated to the quantification and management of methane emissions. Recognized as the most relevant in the sector for transparency and credibility in providing data on methane emissions, the OGMP 2.0 aims for oil and gas companies to report their methane emissions transparently through measurements across their natural gas chain and from all sources.

Among the OGMP actions is the monitoring and quantification of methane emissions in the natural gas chain at the L5 level, that is, at the asset level, where the adopted technology will globally quantify emissions from the selected asset. These data will serve as a comparative analysis for source-by-source methane emission quantifications (L4).

One of the promising technologies for applying methane emission measurement at L5 (asset level) for onshore environments in the O&G sector is the airplane technology coupled with a methane measurement system via a spectrometer, which collects sunlight reflected in the infrared range. This technology has the advantage of monitoring large areas in a short period, which aligns with Petrobras’ onshore assets included in the scope of the agreement with OGMP 2.0, such as onshore oil and gas production units (upstream onshore) and natural gas processing units (UPGN).
