Ready for 201828 de December de 2017

Ouro Negro celebrates an important year in its trajectory, marked by important achievements. We reached the milestone of 200 MODA systems supplied for use in flexible riser monitoring in Brazil’s pre-salt fields.

Another important landmark was the acquisition of Insfor – one of Brazil’s robotics pioneers – which added a portfolio of outstanding robots. In addition, we further strengthened our 4.0 strategy with the creation of the Data Intelligence business unit. Our aim is to develop asset production and integrity management solutions using advanced computational intelligence tools.

We also renewed the ISO9001 (Quality) and OHSAS18001 (Occupational Safety and Health) certifications, thus reinforcing our commitment to industry quality standards.

All these achievements reflect the competence, skills and capacity of Ouro Negro and its team. This is how, year after year, Ouro Negro has been meeting its strategic targets, seeking to deliver innovative and increasingly intelligent products to the market. We’re ready for 2018!

Data Intelligence:
creating synergies

Ouro Negro has created a business unit that combines Data Analytics (DA) practices with Business Intelligence (BI) concepts to generate innovative solutions for the oil and gas industry. It incorporates advanced Machine Learning and Statistical methods to increase operational efficiency and achieve better asset integrity management.

The Data Intelligence unit will extract value from data generated by clients’ industrial processes and asset monitoring to support decision-making in crucial activities associated with the exploration and production of hydrocarbons. This will have a direct impact on the productivity and safety of people and asset.

Data Intelligence will expand the company’s ability to provide integrated higher value-added solutions for the oil and gas industry segments in which it operates: equipment and structure integrity monitoring, intelligent well completion and subsea engineering, high-power lasers, subsea well and equipment inspection and operation robotics.

“The creation of the Data Intelligence unit strengthens Ouro Negro’s technology strategy. Incorporating advanced computational tools into products that depend on data is fundamental for providing our clients with innovative solutions”, highlights Eduardo Costa, Ouro Negro’s CEO.

Technology Strategy 4.0

Innovation is in Ouro Negro’s DNA. It is also the guiding principle of the company’s technology strategy, aimed at developing solutions for the oil and natural gas sector aligned with industry 4.0. Ouro Negro believes that the need to reduce costs, coupled with production optimization and safety maximization, mainly in harsh environments such as deep and ultra-deep offshore waters, poses challenges and leads to an inflection point in the production chain. This requires a new approach to the technological innovation process. Therefore, Ouro Negro invests in Research, Development and Innovation (RDI), focused on solutions that enhance the industry’s core business: the onshore and offshore exploration and production of hydrocarbons, with lower costs, higher levels of safety and reliability and lower economic and operational risks. Ouro Negro’s technology strategy directs investments towards Product Development and Innovation, developing strategic alliances and partnerships to provide intelligent solutions that support E&P activities throughout the asset life cycle – from conception to well abandonment.
