Memorandum of Understanding Aims to Create Technical Cooperation Opportunities for Future Joint Engineering and Software Development Projects

SLB and Ocyan signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to discuss and explore cooperation opportunities for the development of new solutions to improve the energy industry. The agreement aims to create partnership opportunities for new technology and digitization projects for Production and Drilling Systems in Brazil, combining SLB’s technological expertise in the sector with Ocyan’s operational knowledge and access.

According to SLB’s Technology Director, Marcelo Menezes, the newly created FPSO Performance Hub, a multidisciplinary center in Rio de Janeiro focused on FPSO (Floating Production Storage and Offloading) solutions alongside the INNOVATION FACTORY, a global digital innovation center of SLB also in Rio de Janeiro, and SLB Conecta, an open innovation program conducted with startups, will assist in the partnership with Ocyan. “We are very pleased and confident about this partnership. We will use our knowledge in Topside technologies and innovative digital solutions to improve the performance of FPSOs. Ocyan is a very important partner in this process as it has all the operational and maintenance knowledge and access of an FPSO,” he commented.

For SLB’s General Director in Brazil, Bruno Alves, the partnership with Ocyan will provide increased production and efficiency, solutions, as well as digital collaborations and sustainability. “Through this agreement, we are aiming for projects in which we will combine SLB’s advanced knowledge in the development of digital technologies for FPSOs with Ocyan’s operational expertise. As a result, we will have greater efficiency and increased production with shorter execution time, also contributing to a reduction in emissions in operations. We are confident that we will execute great projects together in Brazil,” Bruno commented.

The MoU will be valid for one year, extendable for another year, if the companies do not formalize a definitive agreement before this term.

“This strategic partnership with SLB will allow us to leverage their advanced technologies and expertise, reinforcing Ocyan’s positioning in developing new technologies, and seeking to further improve the standard of operational excellence, reliability, and performance of our production and drilling systems through innovation projects,” said Ocyan’s Executive Manager of Digital Business and Technology, Rodrigo Chamusca.

“Ocyan is committed to continuously improving the operational efficiency of its assets, maintaining the highest standards of safety and environmental protection. The partnership with SLB will effectively contribute to this commitment, in addition to generating new opportunities for both companies,” added Ocyan’s Executive VP of New Energies and Services, Rodrigo Lemos.
