1o Seminário de Tecnologia Offshore / 1st Offshore Technology Seminar

No dia 20 de Fevereiro 2013 foi realizado com grande sucesso o 1º Seminário de Tecnologia Offshore, estabelecendo uma parceria de peso entre a PUC, umas das universidades mais antigas e respeitadas no Brasil e a Maersk Training Brasil.

O seminário foi desenvolvido para passar um entendimento básico do mundo offshore para os alunos.  Seria muito útil para, por exemplo, funcionários de empresas marítimas e offshore que trabalham em terra mas querem ganhar um entendimento melhor de como trabalho offshore é feito.

O seminário incluiu os seguintes assuntos:
  • Frota Brasileira de Apoio Marítimo
  • Plataformas de Petróleo em Território Brasileiro
  • O Código ISPS (International Ship and Port Facility Security Code).
  • Demanda dos Profissionais na Indústria Offshore e seu esperado forecast
  • Introdução a Tecnologia Marítima
  • Introdução a Tecnologia da Perfuração
  • Processo de Produção Petrolífera
  • Introdução ao Posicionamento Dinâmico




Já recebemos elogios sobre esse seminário, como o seguinte:

O Seminário foi excelente. Houve uma interação muito grande entre o grupo: todos muito participativos, trocando experiências profissional e acadêmica. Essa interação com os diversos profissionais, entre engenheiros, estudantes, profissionais de RH, advogados, comandantes e oficiais, foi muito interessante e dinâmico. Gostaria de destacar a apresentação de Alexandre  Vilela. Sua expertise é fantástica; ele tem propriedade nas palavras que são muito específicas da área e com isso pôde me esclarecer melhor o ramos da Perfuração e do Petróleo, já  que a minha origem no RH vem justamente de uma empresa que atua fortemente no ramo. Palavras como FPSO, drilling e cementing estão bem mais claras pra mim  hoje do que antes. Mesmo não atuando mais naquela empresa, conheci um pouco mais do negócio.  Bom, não só ele foi excelente. Todos os palestrantes tinham o domínio dos assuntos abordados e isso foi primordial. Também não podíamos esperar diferente.
             -Cintia Moreira, assistente de recursos humanos

Esperamos fazer muito mais seminários como este no futuro!




ENGLISH

On the 20th of February 2013, the 1st Offshore Technology Seminar was carried out, establishing a partnership between PUC, one of the oldest and most respected universities in Brazil, and Maersk Training Brasil.


The seminar was developed to provide students with a basic understanding of the offshore world.  It would be useful for, for example, employees of maritime/offshore companies who work onshore but would like to have a better understanding of how work offshore is carried out.

The seminar included the following subjects:
  • The Brazilian Maritime Support fleet
  • Petroleum platforms in Brazilian territory
  • The ISPS Code (International Ship and Port Facility Security Code
  • Demand for Professionals in the Offshore Industry and its forecast
  • Introduction to Maritime Technology
  • Introduction to Drilling Technology
  • Process of Oil Production
  • Introduction to Dynamic Positioning

We have already received extensive praise for this seminar, such as the following:


The Seminar was excellent.  There was a very large interaction among the group; all very participative, exchanging professional and academic experiences.  This interaction with various professionals, including engineers, students, HR professionals, lawyers, captains, and officers, was very interesting and dynamic.  I would particularly like to praise the presentation by Alexandre Vilela.  His expertise is fantastic; he commands words very specific to the area and with this, was able to better clarify the area of Oil Drilling for me, as my origins in HR come exactly from a company heavily invested in the area.  Words such as FPSO, Drililng and Cementing are today much more clear to me than before.  Even not working anymore in that company, I understood a little more of the business.  Well, not only he was excellent.  All the speakers dominated their various respective subjects, and this was primary.  We also couldn't expect anything else.
          -Cintia Moreira, Human Resources Assistant

We hope to carry out many more seminars like this in future!

Carnaval e a indústria petrolífera no Rio! / Carnival and the oil industry in Rio!

É Carnaval no Rio de Janeiro!  Isto significa férias, festas todos os dias, e o famoso desfile das escolas de samba no Sambódromo.

Uma das escolas de samba, GRES Acadêmicos do Grande Rio, localizada em Duque de Caxias na Baixada Fluminense, apresentou a indústria de petróleo como tema do seu desfile.  Especificamente, o desfile deles mostrou o debate polêmico sobre royalties de petróleo no Brasil.  Royalties são pagos da indústria petrolífera ao governo para as suas operações no Brasil, e o dinheiro destes royalties é distribuído de acordo com legislação federal.  Sob a atual legislação, a maioria dos royalties vai para os estados produtores de petróleo, principalmente o Rio de Janeiro e Espirito Santo.  Recentes esforços do governo tem tentado redistribuir os royalties entre todos os estados, assim diminuindo a receita dos estados produtores de petróleo, mas redistribuindo este dinheiro para outros estados.

Esta ação é muito polêmica.  Com os estados produtores de petróleo totalmente excedidos em número pelos estados não-produtores no congresso nacional, pareceu inevitável que legislação para a distribuição dos royalties mudasse para ficar muito mais perto de uma taxa igual para todos os estados.  No entanto, protestos populares enormes, principalmente no Rio de Janeiro, apareceram.  Argumentos incluíram que os estados devem beneficiar dos próprios recursos, que os estados produtores tinham que investir enormes quantidades de dinheiro em infraestrutura para produção de petróleo a tal ponto que, no final das contas, eles iam receber menos sob um sistema mais "igual" de distribuição dos royalties, e que os estados produtores (principalmente o Espirito Santo) tem uma necessidade séria dos recursos.  Agora parece que, no final, a legislação será um compromisso, onde todos os estados receberiam uma parte maior dos royalties do que atualmente, e que a proporção dos royalties para os estados produtores vai diminuir, mas continuar maior do que a proporção para estados não-produtores.


GRES Acadêmicos de Grande Rio refletiram este debate polêmico, pedindo que os royalties da indústria petrolífera do Rio de Janeiro ficassem no Rio, e usando o desfile para mostrar a indústria petrolífera e todos os benefícios que tem trazido para o Brasil.  O desfile incluiu fantasias espetaculares, mergulhadores, engenheiros, robôs, e até um submarino!  Também foi um sucesso nas notícias.  Podem ver artigos com muitas fotos excelentes aqui e aqui, e com clipes de video aqui!


 


ENGLISH

It's carnival time here in Rio de Janeiro!  That means holidays, parties every day, and the famous samba school parades at the Sambódromo.

One of the samba schools, GRES Acadêmicos do Grande Rio, based in Duque de Caxias just outside the city of Rio de Janeiro, had the petroleum industry as the theme of their parade.  Specifically, their parade was about the controversial debates about petroleum royalties in Brazil.  Royalties are paid by the petroleum industry to the government for their operations in Brazil, and the income from these royalties are distributed according to federal law.  Under current legislation, the majority of petroleum royalties go to the states with oil production, primarily Rio de Janeiro and Espirito Santo.  Recent government efforts have attempted to redistribute the petroleum royalties between all states, thereby decreasing the revenue of the oil production states, but distributing that revenue to other states.

This move is highly controversial.  With the oil-producing states utterly outnumbered by non-oil-producing states in the federal congress, it seemed inevitable that the law for distribution would be changed to a closer to flat rate for all states.  However, massive protests mounted in (principally) Rio de Janeiro; arguments included that states should benefit from the revenue from their own resources, that the oil-producing states had to spend enormous amounts on infrastructure for oil production to the point that they would on balance be earning less than other states after an equal royalty distribution system, and that the oil-producing states (especially Espirito Santo) are in dire need of the funds.  Currently it appears that a compromise law will be enacted, where all Brazilian states will receive a larger share of the royalties than currently, and that oil-producing states will have their share of royalties reduced, while still above the norm.

GRES Acadêmicos de Grande Rio were reflecting this controversial debate, calling for the royalties from Rio's oil industry to stay in Rio, and having their parade illustrate the oil industry and all the great things it has created for Brazil.  Their parade included spectacular costumes, divers, engineers, and even a model submarine!  It was also a hit with the news.  You can see articles with lots of great pictures here and here, and with video clips here!
