Energizzi Invests in AWP System to Increase Oil Production
Energizzi, prominent in the oil, gas, and energy sector, introduces a pioneering technology in Brazil aimed at boosting production in onshore fields. The AWP@ (Automatic Well Performance) system, an innovation based on artificial intelligence, promises to significantly elevate oil production while minimizing water extraction. The company anticipates an investment of approximately US$ 10 million over the next five years for the acquisition and operation of the equipment. It is estimated that this technology could increase national production by around 2 million barrels annually.
Developed by IOISystems, the solution has already demonstrated effectiveness in wells in Mexico, Syria, and Venezuela, with notable productivity increases. Energizzi holds the exclusive representation of this technology in Brazil and will begin its application in a pilot project at two wells in Bahia, expecting to increase oil production by 20% to 40%.
The Impact on the Brazilian Oil and Gas Market
According to Carlos Alberto Brizzi, chairman of the Energizzi Group Council, approximately 270 wells in Brazil have been identified as eligible for the implementation of this technology. This represents a potential productivity increase of 5,670 barrels per day. “With the exclusive partnership already established and testing starting now in January, we are optimistic about the success of this technology in our territory,” says Brizzi. The company plans to make the system available to the market starting in June 2024.

Something is spreading across the surface of Mars without anyone being able to explain why, and the dark spot discovered 50 years ago has already advanced more than 320 km and continues to grow without showing signs of stopping.
Currently, Energizzi already has five groups of equipment in Brazilian territory, with plans to expand the acquisition and supply of the solution to other operators. This advancement promises not only to boost production but also to present significant environmental benefits.
How AWP Technology Operates
The AWP technology, created by petroleum engineer Gilberto José Torres, utilizes a set of equipment controlled by autonomous software based on AI. This system optimizes oil influx and restricts water production, taking advantage of the natural energy of the reservoir. The greater presence of gas reduces water mobility, facilitating oil extraction.
Alan Bastos, director of Energizzi, emphasizes that in addition to increasing oil extraction, the technology will lower energy and water handling costs. “It is an environmentally responsible solution, without carbon emissions, extending the lifespan of the pumps,” explains Bastos.
The application of this technology is notably effective in pumped wells, and its installation does not require deep interventions, as all equipment is superficial. The average BSW (Basic Sediment and Water) in land wells has been about 95% in recent years. With the use of AWP, a reduction of 30% to 40% in this index is expected.
“We are facing a paradigm shift in onshore production,” concludes Brizzi. “This innovation will not only revolutionize the oil and gas market but will also bring environmental gains by reducing electricity consumption and the use of fuels in the treatment and transport of produced water.”
Energizzi thus positions itself at the forefront of innovation in the oil and gas sector in Brazil, promising significant transformations in both productive efficiency and environmental sustainability.
