Ensure the involvement of automation technologies in the “local content policy” for the oil industry is a strategic and necessary step for Brazil, defends the president of the Brazilian division of the International Society of Automation (ISA District 4), Jorge Ramos. The executive will take this vision at the fourth seminar in Brazil dedicated to the perspective of oil and gas industry, held in São Paulo, next Tuesday, 3rd. Ramos said that the industrial automation sector has not participated in the discussion of “local content” requirements, adopted by the National Petroleum Agency (ANP) in Brazil. "The industry, in particular, Petrobras has invested (in automation), but in terms of government, we must be heard each time more", highlights the executive. In 2011, the entire sector (including other areas of application) earned R$ 4.1 billion in Brazil, according to estimates of the ISA, and projects a result 10% higher this year, driven by purchases of Petrobras - according to Ramos, the representation of values, within the oil industry is relatively small in comparison to other segments. Ramos explained that, with investment in exploration and production, is crucial to invest in automation industry within the country. "It is not only the pre-salt. It's pre-salt and post-salt, refining, petrochemicals. In strategic terms (automation) is one of the most important things to be employed. Without it, you do not take anything down there, does not control the well, can not have a platform to 300 km from the coast, pump (tank) safely and ensure the assets and people.
