Bahia Oil&Gas Energy Highlights Device That Speeds Up Evacuation By 30% In Risk Areas
In the last two decades, the oil and gas industry in Bahia has recorded at least four serious accidents, causing significant environmental damage and even deaths. The most recent occurred in São Francisco do Conde, in the metropolitan region of Salvador, in 2021, and is still fresh in the community’s memory. Showing how technology can save lives in this high-risk activity is one of the attractions of Bahia Oil&Gas Energy, which takes place from May 20 to 24 in the capital of Bahia.
The event attracts professionals from the national and international scene, focusing on relevant topics in the exploration and production (upstream), transportation (midstream), refining (downstream), petrochemicals, naval, and energy integration stages.

Innovation and Safety at Bahia Oil&Gas Energy
In the Innovation Arena of the event, the Bahia-based startup Trackfy will have a stand demonstrating a technological solution that speeds up the identification of incidents and accelerates evacuation in risk areas. Túlio Cerviño, co-founder and CEO of the company, will give a lecture presenting success stories using technology to save lives. Data shows that it can reduce evacuation time from an affected area by 30%. Additionally, the efficiency in response can generate savings of up to R$ 2 million, avoiding serious consequences from these occurrences.
The solution consists of a device attached to helmets and badges of employees in industrial plants or construction sites. This device transmits real-time data and information to a cloud platform. Utilizing resources such as the Internet of Things (IoT), data analytics, and algorithms, managers gain an online analysis of the location and status of workers in the workplace.
At the first sign of an accident or other event, decisions can be made immediately. The solution allows the identification of when workers are in risk zones or affected by incidents, enabling evacuation and any other necessary measures, such as assistance, before the worst happens, explains Cerviño.
Impact and Expansion of Technology in the Industry
“We will address cases at Bahia Oil&Gas Energy that demonstrate improvements in safety and productivity in the oil and gas industry. In addition to the lecture, we will have a stand in the Innovation Arena, explaining our solution and detailing these cases,” highlights Trackfy’s CEO.
The startup already provides this innovation to large companies in industrial hubs, both in Bahia and in São Paulo (Cubatão and Mauá). These corporations operate in the chemical, petrochemical, metallurgy, mining, and construction sectors.
The CEO of Trackfy reiterates that the solution is exclusively aimed at the operational management of construction sites and plants. All principles of the General Data Protection Law (LGPD) and labor legislation are rigorously respected. “Our solution aligns with three of the Sustainable Development Goals of the UN’s 2030 Agenda,” underscores Cerviño.
Bahia Oil&Gas Energy: A Major Event
Bahia Oil&Gas Energy takes place at the Salvador Convention Center and is expected to bring together over 10,000 participants, 200 stands, representatives from 15 countries, and five segments of the oil and gas production chain.
With the presence of leaders and experts in the sector, the event stands out as a crucial platform to discuss and present technological innovations that can transform safety and efficiency in the oil and gas industry. The participation of startups like Trackfy highlights the vital role of technology in the evolution of this sector, especially in critical areas such as safety and risk management.
The focus on technology as a tool to save lives and improve operational efficiency reaffirms the importance of events like Bahia Oil&Gas Energy for the future of the oil and gas industry. By highlighting innovations and promoting knowledge exchange, the event contributes to a safer and more sustainable industrial environment.
