Erros de Decisão - Falta de Transparência em Custos de Perfuração

2 verified sources

Definition

Research shows drilling cost comprises 30-70% of total geothermal/offshore project costs, with high variance by region and project complexity. Brazil lacks industry-standard cost correlation models; individual operators generate proprietary correlations without cross-project benchmarking, preventing data-driven decisions.

Key Findings

  • Financial Impact: Estimated 5-15% of drilling cost waste (R$ 2,500,000 - R$ 7,500,000 per major project) due to suboptimal vendor selection, overtime inefficiencies, and redundant casing strings
  • Frequency: Per major drilling project (50+ projects annually in Brazil's pre-sal); cumulative annual loss across industry
  • Root Cause: Siloed cost data; lack of standardized cost tracking across contractors; proprietary vendor data withholding; absence of real-time cost-to-complete forecasting; manual cost verification processes

Why This Matters

The Pitch: Brazilian drilling operators lack integrated cost tracking systems. Standardized drilling cost management platforms (tie to real-time well telemetry, vendor contracts, labor allocation) recover 5-15% of drilling costs through better procurement and resource allocation.

Perda de Capacidade - Navios Sonda Ociosos em Operações de Perfuração

R$ 180,000,000+ (documented Petrobras case); R$ 15,000,000+ per month per idle drillship at standard day rates

Sobrecusto de Construção de Poços - Ineficiência de Tempo em Perfurações Pré-sal

R$ 12,000,000 per well per 20% time reduction; R$ 8,333,000+ per day saved at pre-salt drilling rates

Multas por Atraso ou Omissão de Pagamento da CFEM

Logic-based estimate: R$ 50,000–500,000 per operator per year (statutory fines + late payment interest at SELIC rates, typically 10–15% of unpaid CFEM balance)

Atraso em Autorização e Verificação de Direitos Minerários e Terras

Logic-based estimate: 6–18 months project delay = R$ 2–15 million in deferred revenue per project (assuming R$ 2–10M monthly operating costs and lost sales)

Custo Brasil: Overhead de Conformidade Fiscal em Pagamentos de Royalties

R$ 80,000–200,000 per lease area per year (40 hours/month × 12 months × R$ 175–450/hour labor cost, including overhead)

Gargalo: Atraso na Aprovação de Áreas de Interesse Mineral e Leilões ANM

R$ 3–8 million per project per year (equipment mobilization cost, idle rig rental, deferred drilling season revenue)
