Optimization and Integration for Subsea Umbilicals Risers and Flowlines
Subsea Umbilicals Risers and Flowlines (SURF) connect subsea production facilities to surface systems, playing a crucial role in the extraction and transportation of hydrocarbons from the seabed to platforms and the coast.
NSG is specialist in Subsea Umbilicals Risers and Flowlines (SURF) projects, including all necessary analyses for in-place condition and installation, whether involving rigid or flexible structures.

Challenge
Ensuring the integrity of rigid pipelines considering VIV (Vortex-Induced Vibration) in free spans and corrosion on the pipe walls over their service life.
Solution
We apply internationally accepted standards endorsed by regulatory bodies such as ANP and IBAMA, as well as operators like Petrobras (PIDR), to assess the integrity of corroded pipelines, taking VIV and data from instrumented pigs into account over their service life or for extended service. This enables us to safely predict operational conditions that allow for secure operation under the specific conditions of each pipeline.
Challenge
Conducting interference analyses between risers that adhere to Petrobras Technical Specification (ET) standards.
Solution
We have extensive experience with the methodology required by Petrobras for riser interference analyses. Furthermore, through automation techniques and the use of the right analytical tools, we can offer efficient solutions for your project.
Challenge
Safely handling flexible pipes and umbilicals while considering the limitations of available construction vessels.
Solution
We develop detailed operational procedures and conduct analyses using simulations to determine the best conditions for safely and efficiently conducting subsea installations. Additionally, we dimension and verify the components as well as the structure of the flexible pipe or umbilical to meet the operation's requirements.
Uma execução offshore bem-sucedida começa muito antes de o navio deixar o porto.
A campanha de descomissionamento de Bijupirá e Salema (BJSA) chegou ao fim depois de quase dois anos de engenharia multidisciplinar. Tudo começou com as primeiras atividades de FEED em julho de 2024 e agora chega ao seu marco final: a conclusão da campanha offshore....
Successful offshore execution starts long before the vessel leaves the port.
The successful completion of the Bijupirá and Salema (BJSA) decommissioning campaign marks the culmination of nearly two years of multidisciplinary engineering. What began with the first FEED activities in July 2024 has now reached its final milestone with the...
Confiabilidade Operacional: Falha em Coluna de Lama
Garantir a confiabilidade operacional é fundamental no cenário dinâmico das operações de perfuração. Este white paper se aprofunda em uma Análise de Causa Raiz (RCA) detalhada realizada para investigar uma falha em uma coluna de lama durante operações de perfuração....
