In Partnership With Mitang, Exail Will Provide 30 Advanced Inertial Navigation Systems for Petrobras’s Floating Production, Storage and Offloading Units on the Brazilian Coast, Enhancing Safety and Precision in Operations.

Petrobras’s FPSOs operating on the Brazilian coast will be equipped with cutting-edge navigation technology. The French company Exail, a global leader in inertial navigation technologies, will provide 30 units of its Quadrans AHRS system (Attitude and Heading Reference System). The contract, signed with the Brazilian offshore services company Mitang, aims to increase safety and efficiency in offshore operations.

The Innovative Technology in Petrobras’s FPSOs

Exail has been contracted to equip Petrobras’s FPSOs with its modern Quadrans AHRS system. This technology provides real-time measurements of pitch, roll and heading of the platforms. The precision of the system is essential for monitoring the stability of the units, ensuring safe and uninterrupted operations, even in conditions where GPS signals are limited or intermittent. The robust and maintenance-free design of the equipment ensures reliable performance in harsh marine environments.

Direct Benefits for Petrobras’s Operations

The implementation of this technology in Petrobras’s FPSOs brings direct advantages. The high precision of the data improves real-time decision-making, which is crucial for complex maneuvers. Additionally, the quick startup capability of the system minimizes downtime and maximizes productivity after power disruptions. This contributes to operational continuity and helps to reduce costs over the project lifecycle.
