By the middle of next year, Pré-Sal Petróleo will begin to use the Production Sharing Expenses Management System (SGPP - Sistema de Gestão de Gastos de Partilha de Produção), a digital platform which will manage the data of all the projects under the sharing regime in the pre-salt. The system, budgeted at R$ 14.6 million, will be developed and implemented by the company, Stefanini-Scala, winner of the tender promoted by Pré-Sal Petróleo and which included the participation of nine information technology companies that work with the "Software As A Service?” mode (SaaS). The contract was signed on Monday, the 11th.

According to Paulo Carvalho, Technical and Supervisory director of Pré-Sal Petróleo, the new system is going to contribute to the digitalization of the company. Currently routine tasks will be performed by the SGPP, such as the process of recognition of costs of each one of the projects (such as the purchase of equipment, provision of services, labor, drilling costs), monitoring of the operations and of the production of each consortium and verification of stock of oil and volume of natural gas of each field operated under the sharing regime.

"Today we are administrators of ten sharing contracts and we represent the Federal Government in 23 production unitization agreements. And we expect our activities to grow. These projects generate an enormous volume of data and the new system will allow Pré-Sal Petróleo to perform its activities with greater agility and efficiency", explained Carvalho.

The operator companies of the consortia will directly feed the data into the system, safeguarding the security and integrity of the information of each project. Through the platform, Pré-Sal Petróleo will be able to simultaneously monitor the performance of each consortium and calculate the volumes of production of oil and gas belonging to the Federal Government. In the future, it will be possible to make comparisons of costs practiced for each project phase.
