Pré-Sal Petróleo (PPSA) begins to adopt a cloud environment for storage and remote processing of data from oil and gas reservoirs currently under Federal Government''s participation.
The company has just signed a contract with Schlumberger for an enterprise-wide adoption of the DELFI cognitive E&P environment which will provide PPSA with access to the Petrel E&P software platform and additional petrophysics and reservoir engineering software applications.
The initiative is a pioneer in Latin America and will allow PPSA professionals to perform interpretation and geological / geophysical modeling of the reservoirs of the 17 sharing contracts that are being currently managed by PPSA, collaboratively and remotely.
According to the Technical & Surveillance Director, Paulo Carvalho, the adoption of DELFI is another action in PPSA's strategic planning towards the company's digital transformation journey. "We are working in accordance with guidelines from Federal Government to continue investing in digitalization. And through the actional insights to be revealed by the DELFI cognitive E&P environment, PPSA will gain access to data that will be used to maximize operational efficiency and enhance decision-making. In addition, the adoption of DELFI will allow the optimization of storage space and increasing data security, which is fundamental in view of the mandatory confidentiality of contract information", says Carvalho.
By managing production sharing contracts, PPSA monitors and audits the projects. For this, it is necessary to use software applications that makes possible to build geological / geophysical models of oil field reservoirs. These studies are also essential so that PPSA can more accurately determine Federal Government's participation in shared deposits under Production Unitization Agreements. The company has 17 professionals dedicated to Exploration and Reservoir Departments, including geologists, geophysicists, petrophysicists and reservoir engineers who continuously analyse the deposits of the CPPs and shared areas.
