Ocyan, through its Maintenance and Offshore Services (MSO) division, has entered into an agreement with the Canadian company Tube-Mac to offer a new technology to players in the oil, gas, and petrochemical market in Brazil. This technology enables the installation and assembly of pipelines using cold, welded connections known as Pyplok®. The initiative is part of Ocyan’s strategy to bring technological solutions that can be applied in the sector and are used outside Brazil, through partnerships with foreign companies that do not yet operate locally. Tube-Mac is the first of these.

“Today, the market is asking us for this change, which is a response to the growth of activities and operations in the business. The idea is to partner with companies that complement our services by adding innovation to increase our delivery capacity, improve cost-effectiveness, and reduce risk, an important factor for safety, which is our main value,” explains Vinicius Castilho, director of Ocyan’s Maintenance and Offshore Services division.

The material from Tube-Mac allows for interventions and weld-free assemblies on pipes from 1/4” to 4” and metric connections from 6mm to 60mm, with pressures of up to 10,000 psi and temperatures of up to 205ºC. The installation process requires less time, bringing greater efficiency and operational safety during interventions. “For comparison, the installation of 10 pieces of Pyplok can be done in just 2 hours, while the same work with welding can take between 1 to 2 days,” explains Ocyan’s director.

Vinicius also emphasizes that the solution has already been used in several projects abroad, being widely utilized in the oil and gas market by major international companies such as Equinor, Shell, Chevron, Aker, NOV, and by Ocyan itself during the assembly of the Delba III Drillship outside the country. Additionally, Pyplok connections carry DNV, Lloyds, ABS, BV, and RMS (“Russian Maritime Register of Shipping”) certifications.

Tube-Mac’s Weld-Free Connections (Pyplok) generally have low installation costs, reduced man-hours worked, a leak-free system, greater durability, easy installation without requiring additional inspections through Non-Destructive Testing, using cold technology safely and reliably.

Ocyan’s Maintenance and Offshore Services (MSO) division continues to provide maintenance services and asset assembly that includes integrated maintenance activity planning, planning and execution of production and drilling shutdowns, repair solutions, project assembly (welding, piping, and electrical/instrumentation), industrial painting and high-performance painting, engineering projects, commissioning services, and more. With 17 years of experience, the division has accumulated over 30 contracts, more than 10,000 tons assembled aboard offshore installations, 1 million square meters painted, and 14 million meters of scaffolding erected, for example.

Seen from space, an image taken by an astronaut shows an unlikely oasis in the Saudi Arabian desert, protected by a terrain that slows the advance of sand, surrounded by green circles, remnants of an extinct lake and nearly 10,000 years of preserved history.

The oldest tree in the world, alive since before the birth of Jesus Christ, is cut down in a scientific study and the case changes environmental preservation rules.

An entire island in the Pacific wants to surround itself with a colossal barrier against the ocean to try to escape increasingly violent waves and not be swallowed by the sea in the coming decades.

With 7.4 trillion tons of artificial snow pumped in 10 years, an extreme operation could stabilize the West Antarctic ice sheet and prevent a sea level rise of more than 3 meters, but it would require snow cannons, ocean water, and energy on an almost industrial scale at the end of the world.

Peru built a tunnel at an altitude of 4,738 meters cutting through the Andes Mountains, and the road leading to it reaches 4,818 meters, making it the highest paved road in the entire world.

In the Saudi Arabian desert, the world’s largest green hydrogen plant is 80% complete and will use 4 gigawatts of solar and wind energy to produce 600 tons of clean fuel per day when it opens in 2027.

At the most remote point on the planet, thousands of kilometers away from any inhabited land, there is a cemetery of spacecraft where space structures are sent at the end of their mission.

Driven by the BBB showcase, the Chinese Hatch surges in retail, surpasses the Corolla Cross, and begins to threaten Hyundai and BYD in one of the month’s most unexpected turns.

What once seemed like fiction is beginning to become doctrine: the soldier of the future is being equipped as a walking technological platform, with body sensors, augmented reality, and total integration into digital combat.

The Earth only had supermountains twice in 4.5 billion years, and during both times, life took a giant leap: first, visible organisms emerged, and then came the animals with skeletons during the Cambrian explosion.

The world has been generating 80% of electricity by boiling water for 200 years, but China has just turned on a machine that replaces steam with supercritical CO2 and promises to jump from 33% to 50% efficiency.
