Opsealog tracking, monitoring emissions from Azule support vessels offshore Angola

Aug. 29, 2024
Opsealog sees potential for a 10% cut in emissions from Azule Energy's offshore supply vessel fleet in Angola.

Azule Energy, a joint venture between Eni and bp, has awarded Opsealog a two-year contract to provide data collection, integration and analysis services to reduce fuel consumption and emissions from the company’s offshore supply vessel (OSV) fleet in Angola.

Opsealog sees potential for a 10% cut in emissions from the fleet.

In its first year, the agreement covers 28 OSVs, expanding to cover the full 33-strong vessel fleet in 2025. Other goals are to ensure Azule fulfills regulatory compliance and its own environmental commitments.

Opsealog’s e-reporting system Streamlog will digitize onboard reporting and deliver real-time vessel tracking for the fleet, which operates across three blocks offshore Angola.

The data will be integrated and analyzed through Opsealog’s Marinsights platform to provide information to support operational efficiency, and also maximize vessel safety and reliability.

One of Azule’s aims is to address the frequent need for vessels to move urgently between the different blocks. Streamlog will use data-driven insights to develop a cost allocation system for each block, focused on the additional costs and emissions arising from vessel scheduling deviations. 

In June, Azule Energy awarded Aker Solutions a three-year agreement plus options to perform EPC services offshore Angola for brownfield projects and modifications for two FPSOs.

That same month, Amarinth announced it would supply pumps for Azule Energy’s FPSO Agogo offshore Angola, currently under construction by Yinson Production. The order was the second from an unnamed Norwegian client.
