New Digital Strategies Aim to Reduce 5% of Emissions in Brazilian Pre-Salt
Committed to revolutionizing energy efficiency and combating greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, Shape Digital has established a strategic alliance with TotalEnergies EP Brasil. The focus is on the installation of the innovative digital platform, Shape Aura, designed to maximize energy optimization and minimize emissions.
At this outset, the expectation is that the initial module of the solution, aimed at the gas compression system, can decrease about 5% of the global emissions from the FPSO Cidade de Caraguatatuba production unit. This unit operates in the renowned Lapa field, located in the Santos Basin in the Brazilian Pre-Salt. It is worth noting that the Lapa field is a joint operation, with TotalEnergies EP Brasil holding 45%, Repsol Sinopec Brasil with 25%, and Shell Brasil with the remaining 30%.

Jean-Baptiste Dupuy, who leads Operated Assets at TotalEnergies EP Brasil, emphasizes: “This digital solution will be a valuable reinforcement for the design changes we are introducing, aiming to cut CO2 emissions from this field. This is perfectly aligned with our global goal of reducing Scope 1 and 2 emissions at our facilities by more than 40% by 2030″.
The Shape Aura platform is a gem of modern technology, incorporating Shape’s “Virtual Engineer.” This approach combines the best of traditional engineering with Artificial Intelligence, optimizing and automating essential technical decisions for industrial operations and their maintenance. This cutting-edge solution not only allows for real-time data capture and analysis but also generates ideal recommendations, manages the implementation of these suggestions, and provides constant monitoring of their impact on efficiency and emissions. And the most revolutionary aspect: it will be directly handled by the offshore O&M team. This facilitates a quicker response and continuous optimization, keeping all stakeholders informed.
Felipe Baldissera, VP of Energy at Shape Digital, has a clear vision for the future: “Shape has always sought to develop digital solutions that reduce costs, maximize efficiency, and ensure safety. With Shape Aura, we are channeling our expertise in software, AI, and industry to deliver sustainability-focused solutions. In an era where decarbonization is crucial, “CAPEX-Free” digital tools, with low costs and rapid implementation, are vital to accelerate this process, especially in the oil and gas sector”.
