Concremat Companies: an overview

Concremat Companies

• 63 years of history and experience consolidated along with Brazil’s history of industrialization and urbanization

• Created in the 1950’s as the 1st Brazilian laboratory for structure systemic control in the private sector

• Success cases in some of the country’s most important infrastructure development ventures

• A wide range of products and services in the fields of Engineering Consultancy, Environment, Inspections, Laboratories, Civil Works and Geotechnics

Growing along with Brazil since 1952

The Concremat Companies cooperate in all phases of any given venture, from the analysis of opportunities – identifying and assessing opportunities – to the final steps of the projects, helping eliminate negative impacts towards the end of the implementation of a given venture. Along with their new approach and the new architecture of its brand, Concremat Companies currently comprise of seven sub brands:

Innovation Strategy for the Oil & Gas Sector: Pre-salt and Exploratory Frontiers

Focus on the upstream: analysis of E & P challenges

• Characterization of complex and

heterogeneous reservoirs (e.g. pre-salt

carbonates)

• Drilling and well operations in the Salt

Layer – efficiency and risk mitigation

(safety and environment)

• Logistics, data availability, environmental

sensitivity and vulnerability in

exploratory frontiers (environmental

licensing, oil spill preparedness and

response)

ACADEMY AND

TECHNOLOGY

COMPANIES IN

SPECIFIC NICHES

Pilot Project: Digital Rock Physics for Carbonates Reservoirs

• Financial leverage – FINEP Bid (2013): 404 projects in competition Concremat ranked 8th among the approved proposals R$3,7 Million (subvention) + R$1,9 Million (counterpart)

• Main deliverable for the industry: Innovative software for simulation of porosity, permeability and capillary

pressure in carbonate plugs, supported by laboratory measurements, with 100% local content and significant reduction of time in obtaining strategic information (from months to a week)

• Main results expected for Concremat: Contribution in a priority area of investigation worldwide Consolidation of industrial collaboration and academic partnerships Implementation of a continuous innovation process in the segment of

geosciences

Important landmarks

Pilot Project– Digital Rock Physics for Carbonates Reservoirs

Our Laboratory facilities for petrophysics measurements – Rio de Janeiro

• Detail photographic record

• Fluid removal (oil, formation water and inorganic salts) – Soxhlet extractor

• Laboratory analyses - absolute and effective porosity, absolute permeability (including Klinkenberg slip correction factor)

• Microtomography images (including Capturing, processing, analyzing and interpreting)

Mission to Norway in September 2015: Follow-up

Objectives

• Exchange information on the state of the art technologies and best practices in priority areas: Reservoir Characterization Drilling & Well Operations Marine Environmental Issues Waste management (Energy and Oil & Gas Sectors) Offshore Decommissioning

• Strengthen our international network and prospect complementary partnerships for innovative services and RD&I projects (O&G, Energy and Environment)

Main results and perspectives

• Fruitful discussions with institutions such as Ministry of Petroleum and Energy, SINTEF, SIMULA, Institute for Energy Technology and private companies

• Concrete collaboration scopes / projects identified and timetable of actions aligned

• A first joint RD&I project elaborated and submitted in September – a synopsis will be presented on the technical session “Exploration - basin analysis and restoration” (November 24th)

RD&I Challenges: Focus on Integrated Collaboration for Efficient Solutions

Relevance of RD&I, current world scenario and Brazil: what is at stake?

• Address the challenges of Brazil’s offshore context and its specific geology, reinforcing our attractiveness for the Oil & Gas industry

• Elaborate and implement solid long term strategies - efficiency oriented - despite the current instability

• Gather efforts and strengthen the collaboration of all the actors, in Brazil and abroad: Industry and Supply Chain, Governments, Research Institutions and Universities

• Consolidate Brazil’s supply chain high added value to the world industry

Focus on integrated collaboration for efficient solutions

• How to improve the model of integrated technical and technological collaboration between all the actors, ensuring a more active participation of Brazil’s supply chain in the whole process of RD&I projects?

• How to optimize the sinergy and complementarity of competencies and potentials between Brazil and Norway?

• What institutional policies and instruments shall be adopted to promote this collaboration and mitigate investment risks?

Let’s answer these questions together during this November Conference!

Thank you!
