Ocyan hired Radix to help it with a plan to update the company in the face of market news. Check how it will work

Ocyan, one of the largest oil and gas companies operating in Brazil, known for its ability to innovate and renew its possibilities through technology and good ideas, has just hired Radix to accelerate its transformation in the current market. The methodology chosen involves improvements in current processes, possibilities for innovation and company planning in the medium and long term for business diversification, through partnerships and possible acquisitions.

Ocyan's main objectives are digital renewal, process optimization and the company's preparation for the energy transition that is already happening in the market. The changes and optimizations presented will be worked on internally before being presented to the press and the community, through a differentiated process.

• Multinationals GranIHC, Ocyan and Sisnergy win a multibillion-dollar megacontract from Petrobras that will mobilize 2000 workers for construction and assembly services for 19 platforms in the Campos Basin
• Radix invoices Eneva for contracts to develop the Gavião Belo Natural Gas Production Station project; field has the potential to be the second largest in the Parnaíba Basin
• Ocyan participates for the third time in the FPSO Brazil Congress 2021 and points out new paths in the exploration of the Brazilian pre-salt.

Digital transformation beyond digitization

“Radix has been instrumental in our long-term digital transformation journey. All these actions are based on existing initiatives and opportunities identified with the operational teams, in addition to activities carried out by other companies in the sector. By mapping our current digital maturity, we are able to build the future and identify and prioritize the opportunities that will in fact guide us to a new level of transformation. Our goal is for this process to be more uniform and cover all areas of the company”, reinforces Rodrigo Chamusca Machado, Technology and Digital Manager, Director of Innovation and New Business at Ocyan.

The technologies already pointed out by the partnership initially involve the use of Big Data, more advanced technologies for processes, in addition to the so-called agile methodologies, so that the company can start and validate its business more effectively and with less investment, in a very similar way what happens, for example, in startups.

The changes, however, are far from just occurring in technological aspects.

 Managerial and human changes will be made inside Ocyan to that it manages to reach the desired levels in the new paradigm of the energy market.

“Our partnership goes far beyond identifying target technologies and digital initiatives for performance gains. With Radix, we seek technical and technological support to enable the construction of the future of Ocyan's operations, without ever failing to look out for people, their safety and the environment. Digital solutions are only solutions if they solve real problems”, concludes Chamusca.

Another of the main objectives of this digital change is the acquisition, through partnerships or internal development, of new technologies that will allow Ocyan to remain current even with all the changes that the market has been suffering.

“Above technology, there will always be people. Hence the importance of having an environment and leadership that encourage change and innovation”, evaluates Carlos Henrique Loyola, program manager at Radix

What is the methodology used by Ocyan and Radix in this innovation journey?

 Ocyan hired Radix to assist in this modification precisely because of what this company can offer. For this, there are four strategic pillars that will guide this new phase of the company towards the future.

• Digital portfolio: where projects are defined, planned and prioritized. The new technologies in which the company will get involved and whether or not they can be related to the current reality of the company. Differentiated energy solutions that may even lead to the acquisition of other companies to absorb new technologies.
• Innovation management: within this new market, Ocyan will be in constant search for new technologies and new possibilities. This pillar will control this search, either internally or through acquisitions or partnerships. 
• Digital Factory: this will be where the ideas and projects mentioned above will be effectively carried out. In this situation, the company will use everything that is most modern and efficient to bring to reality the innovative projects that were located and approved by the previous pillars.
• Change management: Ocyan is coordinating this digital journey. That is, here the market viability and the company's interest in investing in a certain new technology will be verified.
