Clarus Subsea Integrity implements comprehensive integrity management and digitalisation programme for PRIO in Brazil

Clarus Subsea Integrity, a division of 2H, has delivered a comprehensive risk-based integrity management (IM) and digital data management programme for PRIO, the largest independent oil and gas production company in Brazil.

The project, which was awarded in January 2023, involves integrity engineering and data management solutions for all PRIO’s Campos basin assets. It is being led by Clarus’ team in Houston with 2H Brazil providing local engineering support.  

The risk-based integrity management plans have been agreed and the integrity management programme has been fully implemented for the Frade, Albacora Leste, TubarãoMartelo, and Polvo fields.

This has provided PRIO easy access to all critical asset and component data and KPI dashboards needed to manage risks and anomalies, perform integrity reviews and make informed decisions as part of asset operations.

The project has now transitioned into annual management of PRIO’s operational assets and uses 2H’s engineering expertise in the new design of flowlines, jumpers, and life extension scopes.  

Dharmik Vadel, Vice President, Clarus, says: “It is exhilarating to enter the Brazilian market with a driven operator client like PRIO. It is also rewarding to see our cutting-edge digital solution combined with reliable integrity management strategies help PRIO realise efficiencies in the management of their operations.”  

PRIO’s Subsea Integrity and Engineering Lead, Renato Siqueira Santos comments:This partnership affords us rapid access to critical information, thereby easing our daily tasks and instituting a comprehensive, standardised integrity program across our company's subsea fields. The newly adopted methodology is primed for integration into new subsea developments, promising to enhance comprehension of brownfields to be acquired.”

2H Brazil Director, Pete Simpson, adds: “Clarus’ integrity and digitalisation services have added value to our clients in Brazil. We are thrilled to embark on this journey with PRIO and provide them with full lifecycle services covering design, operational IM, and life extension.”
