uSEA is a start up founded in 2017, based at Kjeller Innovasjonssenter in Lillestrøm, Norway. The company is member of GCE Subsea and the uSEA team are ready to collaborate with Runde Environmental Centre.

uSEA works on marine robotics technologies to offer offshore operators geophysical seabed surveys, pipeline inspection, subsea cable inspection, subsea equipment inspection, using entirely unmanned systems.

uSEA is working on the development of marine robotics technologies to provide offshore operators with smarter, leaner and greener seabed survey and subsea inspection services. Their concept is based on an innovative combination of Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUV) and Unmanned Surface Vessels (USV).

Because current oil price levels demand structural changes and it is imperative that we re-invent our industry. The global energy demand keeps growing and shows no sign of a turning point and  renewables are on their way and will eventually meet the global energy demand, but meanwhile oil and gas must become smarter, leaner and greener.

The Managing Director at uSEA is Felipe Lima, he is from Brazil and lives in Norway for ten years. He has experience in the oil and gas industry, having delivered projects covering a wide range of subsea technologies: SURF, marine operations, subsea HV power systems, SPS and subsea process systems. Worked in front-end studies, detail design, qualification of new technologies, construction and installation. Master degrees in engineering and in business.

Energy to transform.

Rio Oil and Gas, taking place 24th to 27th of September.

The 2018 slogan of Rio Oil & Gas sums up the industry’s recovery scenario, with the recovery of oil prices and new auctions scheduled for 2018 and 2019. Through the congress, the exhibition and side events, we will discuss, together, the perspectives and ways to the future of industry in Brazil and in the world. A 360 ° proposal to bring together the entire productive chain of the sector and, finally, to reach our common goal: the growth and highlight of industry in Brazil.

Rio Oil & Gas is the largest encounter for Oil & Gas in Latin America, gathering a public of approximately 34,000 visitors and 540 companies being an excellent opportunity for networking, meeting decision makers and getting to know the newest technologies and its application.

Brazil is considered the biggest offshore market in the world and has entered a new cycle with new framework conditions, less strict content rules and stronger presence of IOC’s.

According to the Brazilian Petroleum Institute (IBP) the investments announced by main players sum US$ 95 billion and 19 new FPSOs are starting operations all until 2021. In terms of regulatory environment, Brazil is taking actions to become more transparent about future of bidding rounds, having set a long-term schedule for the bidding rounds by the regulatory agency ANP and is presently studying how to improve processes such as environmental licensing.

The future ahead is challenging, but also full of opportunities.

Team Norway and the Norwegian industry traditionally have a strong presence at Rio Oil and Gas. For the ROG2018 edition, Team Norway is organizing many events (Save the Date – Rio Oil and Gas – Norwegia Pavilion). Team Norway is also promoting Norway as preferred partner for business in Brazil and Innovation Norway is running a nonprofit project to bring companies to Norwegian pavilion.

Innovation Norway is taking a lead into gathering players to be exposed in Norwegian Pavillion located in hall 4 of Riocentro.

Runde Environmental Centre will join the Norwegian Pavilion and organize a meeting with the DeepSea Environmental Monitoring Cluster partners on 25th afternoon.

The Brazil Session during the ONS 2018 will be presented by NORWEP

– ONS International Markets.

The Brazilian Oil & Gas market is indicating signs of recovery and a turning point is expected. Brazil has been experiencing some strong changes, emerging from a country recession and an economic crisis. This is partially due to investment reduction by Petrobras, low oil prices and a market share concentrated at one main Oil company. To understand what is currently going on in Brazil, we will have the Ministry of Mines and Energy, The Brazilian Petroleum and Gas Agency (ANP), Equinor, Petrobras and APEX (Brazilian investment promotion Agency) sharing their views and why foreign companies may be following opportunities in Brazil.

The Subsea Forum Rio 2018, which took place from 5 to 7/6, in Rio de Janeiro was highlighted by the challenges of the digital economy of the future and how digital transformation can generate value for the submarine area, bringing more safety and reliability to the subsea processes.

The forum was attended by national and international industry experts, including representatives of partner operators such as Total, Shell, ExxonMobil and Equinor, suppliers, service providers and academia, as well as the presence of the National Agency for Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels (ANP).

The market in Brazil represents 17% of the world demand in the sector and almost 90% of the demand in South America. The event was an opportunity to exchange experiences and promote new initiatives that will bring benefits to the subsea area, making it more competitive. The theme Subsea 4.0 portrays the disruptive moment of our society. The changes have to do with how to work faster, test new alternatives and how technologies can collaborate with new businesses.

Highlights of the event:
Standardization in the underwater area can be used jointly by various companies to add value to different projects, such as the use of standardized equipment in standard layouts.

The development of ground-based remote technical support with real-time video for ROV operations are modern strategies for digital transformation.

Several industries have already adopted big data to increase capabilities. The subsea industry, not only in Brazil but globally, must change its mindset to be competitive and realise the potential of real time decisions which can increase efficiency and reduce costs.

Brazil has a huge demand for decommissioning. It is essential that the companies do it safely and economically. Digital surveillance to control people’s access to specific offshore areas, the use of ROV  for inspection, and increased remote monitoring of submarine systems for online integrity assessment are examples of the importance of the digital tools.

Enabling companies to share expertise is the best way to consolidate strategic partnerships for the  Energy sector.

Many industry sectors have already incorporated the big data to boost their skills. The Subsea industry needs to change its mindset to be more competitive and learn how to make decisions that can promote efficiency and reduce costs safely. There is no more room to stand on the dark ocean floor. The constant revolution of the industry already gives us orientations as to its direction.

Seeking to be “Underwater for longer: Subsea 4.0”, the Brazilian Institute of Petroleum, Gas and Biofuels, in partnership with the sections of Brazil and Macaé of SPE – Society of Petroleum Engineers – are promoting, once again in Brazil, the Subsea Forum Rio, in reference to the challenges of positioning in the digital economy of the future.

In this fourth edition, the forum, which takes place every two years, presents itself as an opportunity for national and international professionals to exchange experiences and promote new initiatives that will bring benefits to the Subsea segment.

Focused on this segment, the event will discuss the situation of technologies and experiences related to equipment, processing systems, pipelines, risers and umbilicals, development of new fields and revitalization of production systems, management and production integrity and competitiveness in the Brazilian industry.

The event is an  unique opportunity to discuss with national and international professionals the best initiatives for the Subsea industry!
