Oceânica Offshore

Oceânica held its 6th edition of its training week. The course offered by the company came up with the purpose of acquiring more knowledge and information exchange between professionals.

The event took place between February 28 and March 4 with the participation of employees and stakeholders who have registered on the website, from companies like Frexomarine, Intermoor, Schuler Presses, Subsea7 and Tarobá.

The main topics discussed were Metocean, analysis coupled with the use of orcaflex, model test procedures, mooring evaluations and Umbilicals analysis: an overview and structural models.

For those interested, Oceânica helds the event twice a year and the next edition will take place next semester, in Rio de Janeiro.

Soon check out the materials for download.

Oceânica is bringing to market the 6th edition of the training week. Courses are offered to help interested parties to acquire more knowledge and exchange information about different subjects.

The event which is held twice a year, began as a company initiative to develop skills and knowledge of its internal team.

After requests of some friends and partners to take part in training, Oceânica decided to open its doors officially for the entire naval and ocean community, further extending the opportunity to exchange information between the staff and other professionals.

The next edition will take place at Oceanica’s office, in São Paulo, from February 28th to March 4th – 2 days for employees and three days open to the public. Subjects such as Metocean, coupled analysis with the application of Orcaflex, model test procedures, mooring evaluations and umbilicals analysis will be discussed.

Each lecture will last three hours and they will be carried out by professionals of Oceânica.

Oceânica has closed its hundredth project this month. And to reach that number, we have used high technology resources, different processes, and the trust of many customers and the collaboration of top professionals. Customers who became partners and employees who became friends.

We are proud to believe that high-tech projects could be implemented in Brazil, not only for Brazilians but also for foreigners, exporting our high level knowledge, so necessary in these times of technological challenges such as, for example, the pre-salt .

We expanded our job by providing a complete range of offshore services, with structural calculations, hydrodynamic, positioning and Subsea.

Furthermore we have extended our work to the growing naval sector and most recently, we have initiated the supply of nautical services, with analysis of maneuver for ports and terminals.

We thank everyone who supported us so far, and hopefully soon announce our 200^th project!

The portable simulator maneuvers is already operating at Oceânica office located in São Paulo.

The equipment, result of the partnership between Oceânica and MARIN, aims to predict and analyze the various maneuvers a vessel in real time at ports, terminals and offshore operations.

Furthermore, the simulator can also be used for staff training, for example, a crew or pilots.

This equipment complements the services already available at Oceânica to the port and terminals, fields such as scaling of tugs evaluations and fast time analysis.

Schedule a visit to our facilities and know more about our range of services.

Intensifying its activities in Colombia, Oceânica is attending the Offshore Engeneering Training in the first week of December 2010, which is taking place at the Universidad Tecnológica de Bolívar located in the city of Cartagena das Índias.

The course which is consisted in 9 modules being conducted  by 5 Oceânica professionals. The modules are: overview of offshore market, disciplines in offshore engeneering, drilling and production platforms, Subsea systems and introduction to the hydrostatic, hydrodynamic stability .

The files for unloading are in the area of the site downloads.

Oceânica already perfoms engeneering services in the country. Read more in Projects.

We understand all about it! Oceânica has been rewarded for innovation, for the second time!

On November 19^th, Oceânica was awarded the “Year 2010 Inventor” prize, granted by Petrobras honouring reseachers who have exceeded by the development of innovative technologies, objects of filing patent.

The event that seeks to recognize innovation from the company, universities, partners enterprises and suppliers, responsible for  61 patent applications in the segments of prospection, production and supply of gas and energy, bi-combustible, transportation and service.

We received a certificate and a trophy for the “Spoiler plates for Vortex Induced Motion” patent, in a shared authorship between Petrobras technicians and USP professors.

In 2007, Oceânica also granted the FINEP Innovation in Technology, same year the prize celebrated the record of 732 registered projects.

Oceânica has been chosen one more time by Petrobras America to continue with the studies for offloading operations of the BW Pioneer platform located in the Cascade-Chinook basin, at Gulf of Mexico. The partnership with Petrobras America comes since 2007, when Oceânica performed a initial offloading study for the same FPSO. In this phase 2, numerical simulations will be performed to support the definition of the safety limits of oil transfer operations.

According to Daniel Cueva, Oceânica’s director, the new project comes to consolidate the partnership between the company and Petrobras America, besides its international presence.

The project was requested by COTECMAR which is a Colombian corporation focused on the development of the naval and maritime industry. Cotecmar is in charge of the preliminaries studies of a new coastal patrol vessel to the Colombian Nave. The main challenge is to develop the lines and shape of a 40 meters vessel that is able to present a good performance on the Caribbean Sea, which forms the north coast of Colombia.

Oceânica will participate on the project developing three different analyses: powering, seakeeping and maneuvering. Searching for a very high precision in the results, Oceânica will count on MARIN, Dutch institute that is worldwide recognized by its researches, resources and experimental studies for maritime systems and the creator of the softwares which will be used for the calculations, such as: DESP, Shipmo and Sursim.

The project might last around 2 to 3 months and it will also count with an extra support by the Oceânica’s directors who will be given a quick course in Colombia about the theoretical basis, analysis and interpretation of the project’s results.
