The partnership closed by Metodo Potencial Engenharia is keeping an eye on Petrobras' decommissioning schedule with foreign companies joining the consortium in case of victory in any tender.
In the tender to decommission the fixed dogfish platforms, the company came in third place, and the tender was won by EPIC. The result is still being evaluated by Petrobras.
New technologies
According to the manager at Metodo Potencial, foreign companies are going to bring their most advanced technologies for decommissioning offshore platforms.
One of them is a robot monitoring system, which takes pictures in deep water, in addition to the deep water jacket cutting system that will be brought from the United States.
The intention of Metodo Potencial is also to use a super crane (brought from abroad) to completely remove the platform and dismantle the structure on land, dividing the entire project into 3 parts.
The new technology will optimize the time for on-site activities and the company's role will be to manage the project, planning and de-energizing the equipment on board, in addition to rigging studies.
