Petrobras relationship with Bureau Veritas has been well established for several years. Thus, the search for excellence in Health, Safety and Environment (HSE), an objective that has been included in and provided for in its strategic plan, led Petrobras to establish as one of its goals the certification of its units to international HSE management standards.

Moreover, the ambition of Petrobras and its will to discover new production fields require a more in-depth surveillance to ensure strong confidence in its suppliers. Bureau Veritas international network and, in particular, Brazilian offices, including the technical center in Rio de Janeiro, involve themselves through highly qualified inspectors and expeditors who are committed to achieving this goal.

Design Review is an independent assessment of the project engineering phase that can be supplemented with independent analyses, performed by our specialist engineers.

The safe design of all types of equipment, offshore facilities (structures and topsides), onshore plants (from refineries to LNG terminals) and pipelines, in standard or extreme conditions (from desert to arctic environment), can be assessed through certification or verification schemes to suit our clients' requirements.

Classification is the appraisal of the level of compliance of a vessel to the rules set up by the class society.

Classification rules are developed to contribute to the structural strength and integrity of essential parts of the hull, the safety and the reliability of the propulsion and steering systems and the effectiveness of essential auxiliary systems of the ship. Bureau Veritas classes all types of ships and offshore floating units: oil tankers, bulk carriers, passengerships, containerships, gas carriers, offshore supply vessels, tugs and many others.

Verification is a scheme through which Bureau Veritas, as an Independent Verification Body (IVB), provides Independent Competent Persons (ICP) to verify throughout the life of an installation that the performance standards defined by the client for each Safety Critical Element (SCE) are achieved.

Defined originally within UK North Sea regulations, the implementation of such schemes has become common industry practice in key areas of the Oil and Gas world, such as the Middle East, Russia and Asia. Bureau Veritas’ ICP workforce is deployed and operates on large verification projects in all these areas.

Risk-Based Inspection (RBI) is a process that identifies, assesses and maps industrial risks (due to corrosion and stress cracking).

During the RBI process, Bureau Veritas engineers design inspection strategies (what, when, how to inspect) that match forecasted or observed degradation mechanisms.

Risk-Based Approach applies to:

Structures

Pressure vessels

Pipelines

Tanks

Fugitive emissions are generated by leaks from process equipment such as valves, flanges, piping.This can result in safety, health, environmental and reputation concerns. Cost implications can be significant.

Thanks to its methodology, Bureau Veritas can set a robust fugitive emissions management program which will provide tangible benefits.

According to the European standard CEN pr 15446, fugitive emissions are finalised to standardise measurement, quantification and reporting methods.
