Business Wire
Petroleo Brasileiro SA (Petrobras) (NYSE: PBR) (NYSE: PBRA), the
Brazilian international energy company, has standardized on
Intergraph� offshore engineering and management software for the 3D
design, production and life cycle optimization of its offshore
platforms and floating production, storage and offloading (FPSO)
vessels. The world�s eighth largest oil company and a longtime
Intergraph customer, Petrobras will completely adopt SmartPlant� 3D
modeling and visualization, engineering and schematics, information
and materials management, and project controls solutions to enable
Petrobras to more quickly and efficiently develop, operate and
maintain its fixed offshore drilling platforms, semi-submersibles
and FPSOs. Petrobras has already used Intergraph solutions for 10
FPSOs, four semisubmersible floating production platforms, one gas
platform and one re-pumping platform. Sisgraph, Intergraph�s
Brazil-based distribution partner, will continue to support
Intergraph offshore engineering solutions for Petrobras.
�Intergraph solutions have played a vital role in Petrobras�
drilling platform and FPSO development,� said Claudio Vianna,
Petrobras engineering manager. �We are currently planning the full
implementation of Intergraph technologies, which will help us to
reduce costs and shorten project schedules so that we can more
quickly and efficiently reach our objectives and increase oil
production.� A pioneer and leader in large scale drilling platforms
and FPSOs, Petrobras is aggressively expanding its capacity to
produce offshore structures and vessels so that it may tap the rich
potential of a new discovery in the Gulf of Mexico and the
ultra-deep Tupi and Santos Basin megafields off the coast of
Brazil, which are among the largest in the world. The new
ultra-deep megafields will push existing offshore technology to its
limits and require platforms with exceptionally dense and complex
structural and outfitting designs for which Intergraph�s
next-generation offshore engineering solutions are uniquely suited.
Halsey Wise, Intergraph president and CEO, said, �We are proud to
have an integral role in helping Petrobras realize the wealth of
its highly significant oil discoveries. With global oil demand on
the rise, every new find can help ease the burden placed on
existing reserves.� Reid French, Intergraph executive vice
president and COO, said, �The potential of Petrobras� new
ultra-deep megafields discoveries is extremely relevant to the
world today, and we look forward to providing the advanced
engineering solutions to help this industry leader bring needed new
energy resources to market.� About Petrobras Petrobras is a
Brazil-based international energy company that performs in a
profitable manner, with social and environmental responsibility.
