Ocyan SMART, Advanced Real Time Monitoring System, has been operating for almost a year and is the first in Brazil to operate in six dimensions

Rio de Janeiro, October 07, 2019 – Ocyan obtained important results since the implementation of SMART (Advanced Real Time Monitoring System). In less than a year, the system that monitors the company's rigs from the company's base, which foresees the intensive use of artificial intelligence, based on integrated data and images generated by cameras, contributed to the improvement in operational performance ( uptime) by 2,5%, from 92,8 to 95,1 compared to last year, and also in the reduction of approximately 80% in the rate of recordable incidents, such as, for example, accidents with leave.

“SMART is the first integrated system for monitoring rig activities in Brazil to cover the six dimensions foreseen, allowing the grouping of data that were previously dispersed in separate supervisory systems. Now, we have managed to integrate and make available data related to drilling, well control, power management, dynamic positioning, in addition to the platforms' closed-circuit TV cameras, among others. By processing and analyzing data from all these dimensions in an integrated way, we improve control of the entire vessel. The result has been gains in productivity and process security due to increased capacity and speed in decision-making”, explains Rodrigo Chamusca, responsible for the Support and Decision Center (CSD) and Digital Transformation at the Business Unit of Ocyan perforation.

Ocyan SMART also contributed to the company's rigs maintaining good performance indices in Sondópolis (used by Petrobras). “All of this adds value to the service we provide and contributes to the search for new contracts, as it demonstrates Ocyan's advanced, innovative and bold profile. Ocyan SMART allows quick responses to everyday challenges. Innovations in artificial intelligence, such as machine learning algorithms developed by our data scientists, will benefit our customers”, points out Chamusca.

The company has already invested around BRL 1 million per rig to operate in the five dimensions (Drilling/MPD, Well Control, Dynamic Positioning (DP), Power Management (PMS) and Monitoring (CCTV)), and intends to soon reach six. BOP Monitoring (Subsea) should be added to the scope of Ocyan SMART later this year, demonstrating the company's pioneering spirit in the search for technological and innovative solutions. The system also allows the activities of the rigs, through operational data and cameras, to be monitored from any computer and not just from the base in Macaé.

partnerships to add

To expand the use of artificial intelligence, Ocyan recently signed a contract with the company Intelie, a Brazilian subsidiary of the American group RigNet, which allowed the use of the Intelie Live platform. This is the system that provides integrated monitoring of the company's entire fleet of drilling rigs.

“The system combines efficient analysis of big data, machine learning and IoT (Internet of Things) solutions. Together, they will allow the implementation of CBM (Condition Based Maintenance) to increase the life cycle of critical equipment and develop a risk assessment and management methodology (Bow Tie), in real time, to monitor the conditions of mitigation barriers and avoid serious accidents. Based on this new reality, equipment maintenance can be based on forecasts, expanding Ocyan's competitive edge.

Another innovation front is the partnership with startups that are already developing pilot projects for Ocyan's Support and Decision Center, based on technology, aimed at the offshore segment. “Today, we have two partner startups that develop BOP and drill pipe projects. Both are evolving their respective projects with us in an excellent exchange”, celebrates Chamusca.

Name Change

SMART (Advanced Real Time Monitoring System) is the new name of Ocyan Live, chosen through a contest, in which 165 names competed, through the suggestion coming from 42 members of Ocyan itself.
