Abstract

According to the International Association of Oil and Gas Producers (IOGP), the air transportation operations of PETROBRAS in Brazil constitute approximately 23% of the total global operations. In this regard, it is imperative to enhance meteorological information within the offshore oil basin regions, which are encompassed by the Brazilian Airforce ATC project, known as ‘PFF 008,’ as part of the evolution of air navigation services. Between 2019 and 2021, PETROBRAS, in partnership with Brazilian Airforce and Brazilian ATC service provider (NAV Brasil company), carried out an unprecedented study at the national level to internalize the methodology for the use of automatic surface meteorological stations associated with the automatic aerodrome broadcasting station (EMS3-ERAA). The implementation of this technology was authorized after a statistical study of meteorological representativeness in the Santos basin region, characterizing the introduction of “weather blocks” in national territory. The statistical study demonstrated, through meteorological variables (temperature, atmospheric pressure, humidity, wind direction, and intensity) and an analysis of synoptic behavior, the uniformity of atmospheric conditions in the Santos Basin region. The study facilitated a reduction of 61.5% in the number of EMSA. Consequently, by considering the individual timelines for each station, the overall project timeline was collectively shortened by 12 months. “This study will initially be supplemented for one year following the establishment of the Weather Blocks, utilizing visibility, ceiling, and current weather parameters. The comprehensive evaluation of the method’s effectiveness will be concluded after a period of five years.
