BRAVA Energy Has Just Innovated with an Unprecedented Drilling Technique and Reduced Costs and Time in Oil Well Construction.

BRAVA Energy has successfully completed the first two oil well drilling projects using an unprecedented technique in Brazil: casing drilling. The innovation was applied in the Alto do Rodrigues Field, located in the Potiguar Basin (RN), resulting in a significant 50% savings in time and 20% in drilling costs compared to the traditional method. This technology, widely used abroad, represents a milestone in the Brazilian onshore oil sector.

BRAVA Energy: Pioneering Technique Accelerates Operations and Increases Efficiency

Unlike conventional drilling, in which the well casing is installed only after the rock is opened with a drill and specific tubes, casing drilling combines these two steps into a single process.

This combination reduces the time the well is open, decreases operational risks, and enhances the overall efficiency of operations.

Technical Partnership Enabled Pioneering Project

The initiative was developed in collaboration with Tenaris, a multinational supplier of pipes and services for the energy industry.

For three years, engineering teams from BRAVA and the Technical Sales area of Tenaris carried out studies, simulations, and technical tests to adapt the technology to the Brazilian context.

“We thank the important contribution of the onshore drilling engineering team at BRAVA Energy and the technical team at Tenaris for their commitment and excellent results,” said Franklin Romero, General Manager of Well Construction at BRAVA Energy.

Renato Catallini, President of Tenaris in Brazil, highlighted the alignment between the companies: “We value BRAVA Energy’s commitment to seeking innovative solutions for onshore and the trust they placed in Tenaris to support their strategy.”

Upcoming Campaigns Will Already Include Casing Drilling

The first vertical wells drilled with the new technique reached depths of about 380 meters.

With the success of this application, BRAVA Energy plans to replicate casing drilling in new campaigns in the Estreito and Alto do Rodrigues fields, reinforcing its bet on innovation as a competitive differential in the onshore oil and gas segment.

Germany installed vertical solar panels on a lake in Bavaria, and the result broke conventional logic: instead of producing energy at midday peak, the plant generates more early in the morning and in the evening, exactly when families turn on appliances and factories are in full swing.

Egypt wants to transform sand into farmland with a new artificial river in the desert, but experts warn that the water could disappear into the soil before turning into cheap food.
