ROG.e 2026: CESAR brings applied knowledge to the oil and gas industry

The studies combine engineering, artificial intelligence, high-performance computing, systems architecture, design, and cybersecurity, and are distributed across four knowledge domains:

CESAR is attending ROG.e 2026, from September 21 to 24, in Rio de Janeiro, with a booth in Hall 4, Area W80. This year, we are bringing 12 papers developed in projects with Petrobras to the technical conference—a snapshot of five years of applied experimentation targeting real industry challenges.

O CESAR está no ROG.e 2026, de 21 a 24 de setembro, no Rio de Janeiro, com um estande no Pavilhão 4, Área W80. Neste ano, levamos ao congresso técnico 12 trabalhos desenvolvidos em projetos com a Petrobras, um retrato de cinco anos de experimentação aplicada a desafios reais do setor.

​

Os estudos combinam engenharia, inteligência artificial, computação de alta performance, arquitetura de sistemas, design e cibersegurança, e se distribuem em quatro territórios de conhecimento:

Domain 1

Digital twins for asset integrity management and operational continuity

Domain 2 

Artificial intelligence and modeling for the optimization of critical engineering processes

Domain 3

Data and technical knowledge for digital products and traceable decisions

Domain 4

Human factors and communication for safety and performance in operations

Technology that addresses operational challenges

Among the highlights is a study on a platform for fatigue monitoring in rigid risers, which combines operational data and physical models to automate structural simulations. Another study applies digital twins to monitor fatigue and CO₂-induced stress corrosion cracking in flexible pipes, considering integration with legacy systems, heterogeneous data, and scalability.

Artificial intelligence is featured across multiple fronts: intelligent agents to assess complexity in well design, AI models for diesel hydrotreating, physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) to predict quality variables in refining, and LLMs applied to conversational search in industry data.

Beyond technology: people and processes

The research output also looks at challenges that go beyond technical data: inclusive visualization of geological data, deaf-centered design in industrial environments, and digital transformation in the reporting of safety incidents. Other papers investigate human-AI collaboration, digital product management, and the use of strategic design in climate decision support systems.

In the oil and gas industry, complex problems rarely belong to a single discipline: they involve data, engineering, software, processes, operational context, and people. That is why we operate in an integrated manner at CESAR.

100 in 5: An Innovation Journey

A significant part of the production brought to ROG.e is born from a longer trajectory: the Petrobras Experimentation Program, which, over five years of partnership with CESAR, has already generated nearly 100 joint projects. This knowledge is not restricted to the teams involved; it is systematized and taken to new contexts within the CESAR ecosystem, paving the way for new challenges and applications.
