The Canadian Council for the Americas (CCA-Alberta) and the International Offices and Trade Division of Alberta International, Intergovernmental and Aboriginal Relations with the support of the Canadian Consulate in Rio, would like to invite you to attend the breakfast-seminar Pipeline Opportunities in Brazil. This seminar includes presentations from Directors of two Brazilian companies: Transpetro and Petrobras.

Among the speakers will be Mr. Marcelino Guedes, Director of Transpetro; Mr. Roberto Alfradique, Strategy Manager of Acquisition and Materials from Petrobras. Topics will include, pipeline equipment needs and technological aspects, different perspectives from a contractor, a service company and a foreign company; and an overview of the Rio Pipeline Conference 2007. Brazilian pipeline market is experiencing considerable growth and an increased demand for more diverse services. The Brazilian government has launched a plan to accelerate growth, which represents significant opportunities for companies interested in providing services to Petrobras and Transpetro, the main investors in this new plan. This is a great opportunity to expand your knowledge about potential business opportunities in the Brazilian pipeline market.

 

Solutions - Technologies - Services

Transpetro and Petrobras require solutions, technologies and services for the construction, operation and maintenance of its pipeline grid in these and other areas:

  • AC Interference - state of the art
  • CC Stray Current - state of the art
  • ICDA (Internal Corrosion Direct Asssessment) applicable to pipelines and gas pipelines
  • Anti-corrosion application methods for ethanol transportation through pipelines
  • Internal stress corrosion cracking - assessment in pipelines
  • Alternative methods for localization of piping and buried interferences (including the crossing of rivers and lakes)
  • Analysis of data of pipe soil interaction instruments (strain gauge, optical fibre)
  • Methodology for the identification of land movement and interference in the pipeline strip (geo sensor, optical fibre)
  • Methods of construction of pipe crossings using large extension horizontal directional drill systems
  • Underground storage for natural gas and liquids (gasoline, ethanol, biofuels). This type of system is not used in Brazil.
  • Pipe integrity (inspection equipment, pigs, software)/ maintenance and repair/simulators
  • Construction and maintenance (locations of difficult access like the Amazon forest with emphasis on environmental protection
