Opsealog, a data integration and analysis company for the maritime and offshore sectors, has secured a two-year contract with Azule Energy, Angola’s largest independent energy firm.
The contract aims to reduce fuel consumption and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from Azule Energy’s Offshore Supply Vessel (OSV) fleet. Initial estimates by Opsealog suggest that the project could cut the fleet’s GHG emissions by up to 10%.
The agreement will initially cover 28 OSVs in the first year, with plans to extend to the entire fleet of 33 vessels by 2025. The primary goal is to enhance fuel efficiency and lower GHG emissions, thereby supporting regulatory compliance and aligning with Azule Energy’s environmental goals.
Opsealog’s e-reporting system, Streamlog will fully digitize onboard reporting and provide real-time vessel tracking across Azule Energy’s operations in three oil blocks in Angola. This data will be analyzed through Opsealog’s Marinsights platform, offering valuable insights to improve operational efficiency, reduce fuel consumption and emissions, and enhance vessel safety and reliability.
By optimizing operations, the project will address challenges such as the need for vessels to frequently move between blocks. It will leverage data-driven insights to develop a cost allocation system for each block, helping to manage the additional costs and emissions resulting from vessel scheduling changes.
“This partnership with Azule Energy demonstrates how digitalisation is an essential foundation for progress on a wide range of operational aspects in the offshore sector – including the industry’s chief priorities of safety and sustainability. 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,” stated Luis Buezas Jiménez, International Business Manager at Opsealog.
