Approaching Its 40th Anniversary, Engeman Continues to Grow in the Oil and Natural Gas Sector and Recently Signed a Contract with Petrobras for Maintenance Services at São Paulo Refineries, with Strong Job Projections.

Petrobras continues to advance in its quest to improve its productive quality in Brazil and has signed a contract with Engeman for the supply of maintenance services for the Pernambuco-based company at the Presidente Bernardes (RPBC) and Paulínia (Replan) refineries, both located in São Paulo. As a result, more than 700 jobs are expected to be created in the state of São Paulo, bringing significant benefits to the region’s economy.

Contract Between the Companies for Maintenance Services at São Paulo Refineries Will Contribute Over 700 Jobs in the Paulista Region

Engeman is about to celebrate its 40th anniversary and has just signed a new high-profile contract in the oil and natural gas sector in Brazil, a partnership for the supply of maintenance services at the RPBC and Replan refineries of the state-owned Petrobras, located in São Paulo. Thus, the company is making further strides toward growth in the fuel sector nationwide and is opening doors for future business opportunities. 

The contract between Engeman and Petrobras will last a total of 5 years, providing maintenance services and will receive a total of R$ 300 million in investments from the companies until its conclusion, contributing to jobs in the region.

Furthermore, Engeman will be responsible for maintenance services involving over 20,000 pieces of equipment for work at the refineries, which will be acquired with the multimillion-dollar investment in the development of the partnership, essential for the productive growth of the São Paulo refineries. 

Engeman also commented that the projections for contributions to the population of the state of São Paulo are positive, and, together with Petrobras, intends to generate over 700 jobs for residents of the refinery region, both directly and indirectly.

Thus, over the next 5 years, not only will fuel production at the refineries be expanded, but there will also be a strong contribution to the socioeconomic development of the state of São Paulo. The contract will also be important to help Engeman surpass the R$ 1 billion mark in backlog, and is vital for the company’s strategy for expansion into São Paulo.

The company’s operations director, Jobe Medeiros, commented on the scope of the new maintenance services contract at the Petrobras refineries and explained: “This contract has a new model, as it involves simultaneous operations at two large refineries in São Paulo: RPBC in Cubatão; and REPLAN, the largest refinery in Brazil, in Paulínia. We will carry out predictive, preventive, corrective maintenance, lubrication, and machining on thousands of pieces of equipment during operational campaign periods, scheduled downtime, and emergencies.”

Thus, the company is now in the mobilization phase at RPBC and planning to start mobilizing at REPLAN in early 2023, as planning is essential to maintain the quality of the contract for the next 5 years. Additionally, the Engeman executive highlighted that this is the perfect time for the company to expand its operations in the São Paulo region. 

Finally, Engeman stated that the company’s main differentiator in this contract is the ability for Petrobras to meet its Operation, Maintenance, and Integrity demands in a single company, reducing interface costs and associated noise.
