On November 13 and 14, great names in the energy industry gather in Campinas to discuss the future of energy.

Anchored at Unicamp, the EPIC (Energy Production Innovation Center) is preparing to bring its fifth conference to life. This meeting, taking place at the Eldorado Research Institute, located in Campinas (SP), marks the culmination of the first phase of research conducted in collaboration with FAPESP and the energy giant Equinor, while announcing a renewed phase with new research guidelines.

The core of the conference aims to engage a diverse range of professionals – from researchers and academics to industry leaders and government authorities. The program will feature five prominent lectures, two dynamic round tables, and presentations of the best projects developed under the auspices of EPIC. These investigations focused primarily on three axes: optimization of oil production via numerical simulation models, optimization through artificial lift and flow, and characterization and geological modeling of Brazil’s pre-salt carbonate reservoirs.

Energy transformation is the focus. One of the round tables will deeply examine the impact of new technologies on the industry, with particular attention to regulatory and legal challenges. This debate will feature the expertise of representatives from Equinor, ANP, FAPESP, and CEPETRO, and will be moderated by the capable director of EPIC, Professor Denis J. Schiozer. On the other hand, Alejandro Escalona Varela from the University of Stavanger (Norway) will shed light on the challenges of energy transition, bringing a Norwegian perspective.

Three other international keynote speakers will enlighten the event with their innovative views for the industry: Reidar Brumer Bratvold, also from the University of Stavanger; Robert H. Goldstein from the University of Kansas; and renowned Canadian consultant, Francisco Alhanati. No less important, Mateus Silva Pierre from the Eldorado Institute will delve into the crucial world of cybersecurity in critical infrastructures.

Building Bridges Between Industry and Academia

The second round table of the event will focus on strengthening the ties between the academic world and the industry, represented by giants such as Shell, NORCE, Eldorado Institute, Equinor, and Texas A&M University.

Wrapping up on a high note, the director of EPIC will outline the center’s horizon. But the journey does not end there: after the conference, enthusiasts will be able to sign up for an online minicourse in English on “optimizing oil production through numerical simulation models of reservoirs,” scheduled for November 16, 17, and 23.

EPIC Conference: Innovation and Challenges in the Oil and Gas Sector

On November 13 and 14, great names in the energy industry gather in Campinas to discuss the future of energy.

A giant printer called the “Ferrari” of concrete has landed in Latin America and can already build a 120-square-meter house in just 48 hours, making the traditional construction site look like something from the last century.

Brazil will harvest a record crop of up to 357 million tons of grains, but it does not have the capacity to store a large part of it. The storage deficit has reached the highest level in history and is equivalent to almost the entire production of Argentina.

Four times faster than the Concorde, capable of taking passengers from New York to London in less than an hour at Mach 5.5, and with an engine that switches from turbojet to ramjet mid-flight at Mach 3.5, the Hermeus Quarterhorse went from paper to its first flight in just 19 months.

She started by collecting oyster shells from restaurants and today she has already accumulated more than 10 tons to restore reefs, recover coastal habitats, and demonstrate how a common waste can become a tool for ocean conservation.

SpaceX will dock a $843 million vehicle to the International Space Station to push a nearly 420-ton laboratory against the atmosphere and make the debris fall in a controlled manner into the ocean.

Bricklayers off the scaffolding? New system uses autonomous drones to position bricks and apply adhesive in the air, creating walls with two flying robots working as a team.

Unemployed and with a child to support, Joab turned hot coffee into a fresh start: he wakes up at 2 a.m., sells on Anhanguera, lets drivers pay later through the “trust Pix,” and conquers the internet even when some continue their journey without depositing.

The explosion in Siberia, recorded on June 30, 1908, over Tunguska, released energy estimated between 10 and 15 megatons of TNT, devastated about 2,150 square kilometers of forest, knocked down approximately 80 million trees, and remains one of the biggest warnings about near-Earth objects.

Lock manufacturer from Rio Grande do Sul invests R$ 150 million to surpass R$ 1 billion in revenue, create 200 jobs, and double storage capacity, while choosing Santa Catarina to set up a new logistics center and speed up deliveries in Southern Brazil.

The Iron Beam combat laser from Israel goes into real operation and starts shooting down drones for about three and a half dollars per shot.
