INFRAESTRUCTURE OF THE DEVELOPMENT AND VALIDATION OF NEW TECHNOLOGIES Raimar van den Bylaardt Technology Manager July 12, 2011 I° SEMINARIO LATINOAMERICANO Y DEL CARIBE DE PETROLEO Y GAS Quito, Ecuador 12 y 13 de julio de 2011

Brazilian Scenario Majors Brazilian Technologies Challenges: – Deepwater E&P – Crude Oils – Pre-salt – CO 2 and H 2 S High Concentrations in oil produced

Brazilian Scenario R&D Investment in oil and gas sector – Realizaded US$ 3,7 billion – Provided 2011 – 2020 US$ 9 billion (US$ 75/oil barrel)

Brazilian Scenario Networking of research (about 50), involving several research groups at universities and technology institutes Investment in laboratory infrastructure Construction of specialized laboratories and equipments operations and tests simulations

Brazilian Scenario High demand for critical technologies Construction and operating high costs Requeriments of equipments tests in operations conditions Simulation Systems

Examples of Brazilian Options Simulation and Visualization Laboratory – Numerical Offshore Tank – TPN Department of Naval Architecture & Ocean Engineering EPUSP – Laboratory on Scientific Computing and Visualization - LCCV Technology Center of Universidade Federal de Alagoas

Examples of Brazilian Options Full Scale shared testing facilities – Pipeline Technology Center – CTDUT Private not-for-profit Association with the participation of companies in the pipeline industry

TPN - Numerical Offshore Tanks The TPN - Numerical Offshore Tanks joins some of the major brazilian universities and research institutes with PETROBRAS to seek new breakthroughs that allow deeper exploitations and Brazil’s oil and gas self- tecnology. The TPN is part of Escola Politécnica - Universidade de São Paulo. It is located in São Paulo.

Infrastructure Hydrodynamic Calibrator 4D Visualization Room

Projects TPNView TPNView is a software that combines 3D visualization with tools for data analysis such as charts, histograms and statistics. MPS Moving Particle Semi-implicit

Who we are? The LCCV - Laboratory on Scientific Computing and Visualization is the result of intense collaboration with PETROBRAS' research center - CENPES and with other important laboratories in many Brazilian universities. The LCCV is part of CTEC - Technology Center of UFAL - Universidade Federal de Alagoas. It is located in Maceió, capital of the Alagoas State

Research initiatives

transportando tecnologia  CTDUT offers full scale testing facilities for research, tests and training and is open for use by the pipeline industry in a shared facility model. Key Issues

transportando tecnologia  Conceived as a privately owned, not for profit research institution.  CTDUT was founded by Petrobras, Transpetro and PUC-Rio University and is available for testing to any company or institution  45 Associates at this moment Key Issues

transportando tecnologia Associates

transportando tecnologia Model  Availability  Any company can access  Clear and well known rules for use  Avoid long and expensive re-commisioning time by keeping it running  Confidentiality  Go beyond the NDA: need to know basis. The fewer, the safer  Let the developers run the tests and evaluation and only them have access to the results  Limit your confidentiality concern to your own staff

transportando tecnologia Model  Flexibility  Different companies means different needs and different ways of working  Physically prepared to address all needs  Interchangeable spools  Include many different mapped flaws  Realistic path with commonly found features  Reasonable extension  Testing policy: be prepared for reconstructions from time to time

transportando tecnologia Model  Cost of operation  Even shared costs must be kept low  Extremely reduced fixed staff  Research institutions and universities have very skilled staff  Focus on the operations and management level  Networking and teaming to address technical issues  The idea here is of complementing efforts and skills. Not to be a competitor.

transportando tecnologia  14”  328 ft or 100 m  Water or nitrogen  Flanged spools  Mapped damages  Customizable Testing dedicated pipeline LOOP 14

transportando tecnologia Test Loops  Test dedicated pipelines under construction:  Oil operated - 12” x 1.5 miles  Natural Gas operated - 16” x 1.5 miles  Both with scada system  Closed loop for pig

transportando tecnologia Planned Infrastructure  National reference laboratory in flow meters calibration, in association with INMETRO (Government Official Metrology Department)  Cathodic Protection site for research and training (under construction)  Biofuel test dedicated pipeline (ethanol and biodiesel) under evaluation.  Valves Laboratory for compliance with new Brazilian Standard NBR 15827
