AXYS’ 3 Metre Metocean Buoys assist Petróleo Brasileiro S.A. in Oil
Exploration
Oil Exploration
Petróleo Brasileiro S.A. (Petrobras) is one of the largest oil companies in the world, headquartered
in Rio de Janeiro.
It is a significant oil producer with an aggressive offshore development schedule.
Petrobras specializes in producing oil from ultra-deep water.
To support exploration, Petrobras required the ability to monitor the meteorological conditions, directional waves, and near surface currents along the southern and eastern coast of Brazil.
Petrobras Requirements
» Atmospheric pressure
» Air temperature and RH
» Wind speed and direction
» Sea surface temperature (SST)
» Directional waves
» Current profiles
Capable of Monitoring:
AXYS Technical Solution:
The ideal data collection buoy for deep water deployments in open
ocean.
3 Metre Metocean Buoy
AXYS Solution
3 Metre Metocean buoys are built of aluminum to better withstand the severe environmental conditions seen at the deployment site.
Rechargeable batteries and solar panels ensure the buoys are completely self-sustaining.
AXYS Solution
Designed to facilitate onboard service and maintenance.
The superstructure and stability of the hull allow a small vessel to be used for maintenance tasks without having to recover the buoy.
Deployment
AXYS Field Service Specialists deployed four buoys in strategic locations along the south
eastern coast of Brazil.
Training
AXYS Field Service Specialists trained
Petrobras staff on the operation and
maintenance of the buoys.
Communications
AXYS provides Iridium satellite service to transmit metocean and position data in near real-time.
Iridium supplies Petrobras with two-way communications and control.
AIS – Automatic Identification System automatically broadcasts buoy position and metocean data summaries to nearby vessels.
AXYS WebViewTM Data Display
WebViewTM is an interactive web application that allows Petrobras to view the environmental data collected by their 3m buoys anywhere, anytime.
Petrobras uses this data to make better decisions for the safety of their crew and the environment.
Benefits
Better Decision-Making
Petrobras staff members now have access to real-time environmental information, allowing them to make more accurate and timely decisions
affecting platform operations, staff safety, and the local environment.
Benefits
Improved Safety and Operational Efficiency
Having a buoy located near the oil rig provides Petrobras rig and ship crews with access to better information.
This allows them to be aware of potential hazards, such as increases in current speeds or wave heights.
AXYS are experts in the design, manufacturing and maintenance of remote environmental data acquisition, processing and
telemetry systems.
Petróleo Brasileiro S.A. is an integrated company involved in oil and oil byproduct exploration, production, refining, marketing,
and transportation, both in Brazil and abroad.
