Wilson Sons’ Rio Base Will Support BP’s Oil Exploration

Wilson Sons, a leader in the Brazilian port and maritime logistics market, has established a significant contract with BP (British Petroleum), one of the world’s leading companies in oil and gas exploration and production. This one-year agreement involves providing logistics services for exploration operations in the Pau Brasil block, utilizing the strategically located Offshore Support Base, the Rio Base, situated in Guanabara Bay.

This contract represents an important milestone for Wilson Sons, reaffirming its position as a pioneering company in offshore support services. With two operational bases in Guanabara Bay – Niterói Base and Rio Base – the company demonstrates its ability to meet the growing demand from the offshore oil and gas sector.

The Rio Base, located in the Caju neighborhood of Rio de Janeiro’s port area, will be the unit responsible for serving BP’s operations. With five docking berths and an area of over 65,000 square meters, the Rio Base is strategically positioned to support fields in the pre-salt polygon. Moreover, Wilson Sons stands out for its expertise in remote operations, setting up temporary bases in various ports along the Brazilian coast.

Safety and Performance as Keys to Success

The achievement of the contract with BP is also due to Wilson Sons’ excellence in Safety, Environment, and Occupational Health (SMS) and key performance indicators (KPI). These factors have been essential not only for the partnership with BP but also for recent contracts with 3R Petroleum and Petronas. Wilson Sons’ Offshore Support Bases, both in Rio and Niterói, are globally recognized for their safety standards, completing a decade without lost-time accidents.

The partnership with BP is not new for Wilson Sons. The company had previously engaged in activities for BP at the port of Salvador, Bahia, in 2013, and currently has a contract with BP Marine through NFX Combustíveis Marítimos (a joint venture between BP and Prumo Logística) for the management of the TECMA Base at the Port of Açu, in Northern Fluminense, which supports fuel transfer and supply operations for offshore units.

Wilson Sons: Leader in Port and Maritime Logistics

With over 185 years of experience, Wilson Sons is the leading operator in port and maritime logistics in Brazil. The company has a broad national presence and offers complete solutions to over 5,000 clients across various sectors, including offshore energy, renewable energy, agribusiness, and other segments of the economy.

This new contract with BP is a testament to Wilson Sons’ capability and competence in providing high-quality offshore support services, reinforcing its role as a key player in the Brazilian port and maritime logistics market.

While countries spend billions to draw water from the sea, a Nobel-winning scientist creates a container-sized machine that extracts up to 1,000 liters per day from dry air and uses ultrasound to release water in minutes, even in the middle of the desert.

Belgium will sink 23 giant concrete caissons, each weighing 22,000 tons, in the North Sea to build the world’s first artificial energy island 45 km off the coast, forming offshore electrical walls.
