- Renato Costa, Operations Director, serves as chair and opens the debate with the presentation “Is Generational Conflict Really Something New in Our Industry?”, addressing historical and current challenges.
- Rodrigo Cova, Platform Superintendent, presents “The Frontline Perspective: How Does a RigSup View Daily Life in Their Unit?”, offering a practical perspective on the interaction between different professional profiles.
- João Guandalini, Innovation Manager, moderates the debate and facilitates interaction between panelists and the audience, ensuring a dynamic exchange of experiences.
This approach reinforces how the diversity of generations can impact safety processes, requiring constant adaptations and strategies aligned with field realities.
Second Day Focuses on Technology and Integrity Management
On Wednesday, August 13, 2025, the panel “Innovation: Building an Increasingly Technological and Safe Operational Environment” features the presentation by Emanuel Isaac dos Santos, Engineering Manager at Foresea.
The topic, “Eyes on the Lines: How Integrity Management Protects the Health of Our Offshore Units”, showcases the use of B-Scan technology to ensure greater safety, speed, and reliability in structural integrity mapping.
According to Emanuel, “prevention always costs less than failure”, and assertive technical decisions in inspection preserve lives, assets, and corporate reputation. The highlight is the advancement of ultrasound monitoring and its application in the preventive maintenance of critical structures.
