Reducing offshore supply fleet emissions
Reducing fuel consumption and GHG emissions
ANGOLA: Azule Energy, Angola’s largest independent energy company, has embarked on a project to reduce fuel consumption and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from its Offshore Supply Vessel (OSV) fleet by up to 10 percent.
A contract to provide data and analysis services to Azule’s 28 OSVs has been awarded to Opsealog with the view to expanding the agreement to include Azule’s full fleet of 33 vessels next year.
Opsealog’s e-reporting system Streamlog will fully digitise onboard reporting and deliver real-time vessel tracking for the fleet, which is operated across three oil blocks in Angola. This data will be integrated and analysed through Opsealog’s Marinsights platform to provide in-depth insights that will help boost operational efficiency, reduce fuel consumption and emissions, and maximise vessel safety and reliability.
By optimising operations, the project will help Azule Energy address challenges such as the frequent need for vessels to move urgently between the different blocks. It will use data-driven insights to develop a cost allocation system per block, tackling the additional costs and emissions associated with vessel scheduling deviations.
Luis Buezas Jiménez, International Business Manager at Opsealog highlights the importance of digitalisation in the offshore sector. “Through enhanced data collection and integration, teams will be equipped with data-driven insights to immediately improve operational efficiency and reduce harmful emissions. We are proud to embark on this project and support Azule Energy’s ambitions of delivering responsible energy development for the communities of Angola,” he says.
