Recently, Exail has consolidated its international presence by supplying more than 70 acoustic transponders and LBL systems for large-scale energy projects in Brazil and Angola. This technical operation enables construction and infrastructure installation activities in environments reaching depths of 4,000 meters.
Technological innovation behind the implementation of LBL systems
In the Brazilian scenario, the company has deployed a network of 56 Canopus acoustic transponders linked to Rovins inertial navigation systems. This technological integration is fundamental for ultra-deepwater gas development, where precise positioning determines the success of critical field construction phases.
Likewise, in Angola, the intervention focuses on the expansion of an offshore oil field where Ramses systems ensure the integration of new pipelines within existing subsea architectures.
The proposal is centered on the use of a range-aided LBL solution. This hybrid method allows for a sparse configuration of equipment on the seabed, making the calibration process 50% faster than traditional techniques. By reducing the number of devices required and vessel time, it ensures highly reliable decimetric precision for bathymetric surveys and complex construction.
Thiago Montanari, Sales Director for Oil Gas Americas at Exail, maintains that this acoustic and inertial integration is transforming operations in hard-to-reach sectors. By mitigating risks through high-fidelity data, the company ensures infrastructure viability and strengthens global energy supply security.
