Techint to use HMSWeb in a gargantuan oil field

Rio de Janeiro, April 21, 2021 - The partnership will replicate, in the Ecuadorian Shushufindi, the successful strategy implemented in the block 61 of Auca.

Techint is going to use HMSWeb in the Shushufindi Complex, one of the giant oil fields in northern Ecuador. The contract follows the standard scope for HMSWeb, which will provide the licensing, deployment, training and support for the solution, which will be used in the expansion and optimization project of this field, located in the very heart of the Amazonian region.

“The new project is similar to the one implemented in Auca, a neighboring region to Shushufindi. It includes the construction of new units and the expansion of existing ones, structures for the admission of drill bits and workover, construction of flow lines and electrical lines in order to optimize the oil field,” points out HMSWeb CEO, Luciano Gaete.

He believes that the main challenge is to guarantee adherence of the technological tool to this project profile. “That is, the so-called ‘current’ projects, with short duration and in large quantities. We have to be flexible and agile to ensure that all projects, both in Shushufindi and Auca, are quickly set up and made available to users, hence maximizing the reuse of protocols and configurations of template-type projects,” Gaete added.

The contract is relevant in the partnership with Argentinian Techint in Latin America, in which HMSWeb is currently operating seven projects alongside EPEC. “Within the corporate contract with Techint, we are part of projects in different countries within the region,” highlights the executive. His expectation is to further expand this partnership with Techint, consolidating HMSWeb as the corporate commissioning solution for projects within the region.

In addition to Auca and Shushufindi, in Ecuador, HMSWeb is part of projects developed by Techint in Brazil (Eneva's UTE Jaguatirica and UTE Jaguatirica, as well as Norwegian Yara's Mineroindustrial Complex of Serra do Salitre/CMISS), in Mexico (Pemex's Nueva Refinería Dos Bocas) and in Argentina (Pampa Energia's Ensenada Barragán Thermal Power Center).
