Unprecedented Partnership Promises to Elevate Prevention and Risk Monitoring Standards in the Offshore Sector

A strategic partnership between Shape Digital, Shell Brazil, MODEC Brazil and State University of Campinas (Unicamp) is developing an unprecedented methodology for operational risk monitoring with artificial intelligence. The goal is to enhance safety on oil platforms and identify, in real time, the degradation of safety barriers — essential systems, equipment, and procedures to prevent incidents.

The project is based on Shape Reef, Shape Digital’s technology already used in Brazil, Mexico, and Africa, which will be improved to expand its coverage and accuracy. The initiative seeks to reduce risks, support strategic decisions, and strengthen the protection of workers and the environment.

Technological Advancement for Offshore Risk Management

According to Felipe Baldissera, CEO of Shape Digital, the proposal is to make Shape Reef even more robust with new methods for managing safety barriers. He emphasizes that the work is aligned with the company’s strategy to generate intelligence based on data and AI, allowing for more agile and secure decisions.

The project will last for 36 months, funded by Shell Brazil through the Research, Development, and Innovation (PD&I) clause from ANP. During this period, new risk estimation techniques will be tested and implemented for two main scenarios: degradation of barriers and gas leaks.

Commitment to Innovation and Safety

For Olivier Wambersie, director of Technology and Innovation at Shell Brazil, “safety is a non-negotiable asset.” He highlights that investing in technology to enhance risk management is essential to anticipate failures, reduce uncertainties, and protect lives and the environment.

MODEC Brazil is also actively participating, providing operational expertise from its FPSOs in the country. As Leonardo Santoro, manager of Technical Management at the company, explains, involvement reinforces the commitment to innovation and the adoption of technologies that enhance efficiency and safety. MODEC will contribute technical data and specialized knowledge to drive the solutions forward.

Academic Origin and Technological Evolution

The foundation of the project comes from research conducted by Professor Sávio Viana from Unicamp, which resulted in the creation of two innovative programs: Fuzzy BowTie and Artificial Neural Network for Leak Detection.

In this second phase, the team will combine computational fluid dynamics data with real field information, investigating new artificial intelligence models to increase the technological maturity of the solution.

This integration will allow for more precise and efficient analyses, optimizing the risk detection and mitigation process.

Applications and Impact in the Oil and Gas Sector

With these advancements, Shape Reef can be applied even more comprehensively, serving various industrial plants in the oil and gas sector. In addition to this, Shape Digital also offers Shape Lighthouse, aimed at intelligent asset management, and Shape Aura, for energy efficiency and reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.

Industry experts evaluate that the initiative represents an important step to elevate offshore safety standards, uniting science, innovation, and collaboration between companies and universities.

What do you think should be a priority for the offshore sector: to accelerate the adoption of AI technologies to ensure operational safety or to advance gradually, prioritizing rigorous validation of each solution?

Applications and Impact in the Oil and Gas Sector

For 45 years, Spain and Morocco have been trying to connect Europe to Africa through a project of just 14 kilometers in the Strait of Gibraltar, and an active tectonic fault on the seabed continues to make the project nearly impossible.

At just 14 years old, a boy creates a system without energy, using steel pipes buried in the ground, that irrigates seedlings with moisture from the air, to combat the water scarcity threatening reforestation in northern China.

Where there was only sand and wind at 40 degrees, China built a megacity of 500,000 inhabitants with farms, wineries, and universities in the middle of the desert using melted glacier water from hundreds of kilometers away.

Neither the Pyramids nor the Great Wall of China, this gigantic construction in Spain is the human mark on planet Earth that intrigues the most when seen in images from space.

National energy dilemma: Brazilians support clean energy but reject increases in tariff costs to finance the sustainable transition.

What China is doing at the bottom of the sea is already worrying the U.S., and it’s not about oil: ships and sensors are advancing on crucial routes for underwater warfare.

Constellation opens an offshore position with a 14×14 schedule for those who want to work onboard in Rio das Ostras (RJ) with great benefits.

Neither the Pyramids nor the Great Wall of China, this gigantic construction in Spain is the human mark on planet Earth that intrigues the most when seen in images from space.

The rise in oil prices in the Middle East is already affecting Brazilian sugar: mills in the Central-South are seeing their margins shrink just as ethanol gains strength.

Giant structures 14 meters beneath Egypt are revealed by satellites and expose a millennia-old secret buried in Buto.

Surrounded by cliffs, mist, and chilling stories, the ancient Hotel del Salto has been reborn as a museum while still unable to shake off its reputation as a haunted place.

The Chamber opens a debate on driver’s licenses at 16 years old as part of a reform that includes around 270 proposals to change the Brazilian Traffic Code and may redesign rules for licensing, enforcement, and circulation in the country.
