Leading companies in the oil will settle in Ilha do Fundão (address of UFRJ, Federal University of Rio de Janeiro), the largest technology research park in oil, gas and energy in the world, with private investment of $ 500 million. Is the "Ilha do Petróleo", facing the challenges of the pre-salt.
According to the news portal iG, until 2014, the year of World Cup in Brazil, UFRJ wants to start a kind of "Silicon Valley carioca". Instead of computing, in Rio the stars will be the main players in the oil industry, energy, environment and information technology.
An important advantage is the park's existing infrastructure, which includes - besides the very UFRJ - the second most powerful supercomputer in Latin America and LabOceano, largest and deepest ocean laboratory in the world.
"It's the only place in the world with in the same development site the three main competing services: Schlumberger, Baker Hughes and Halliburton. You cross the street and is at the research center of the other. Houston (Texas, United States, the world capital of oil) also has this, but in a more dispersed way”, says the executive director of the Technology Park, Mauricio Guedes.
The companies that will be installed on site are Siemens, FMC Technologies, Usiminas, Tenaris Confab, EMC Computer Systems, BR Distribuidora, ESSS Engineering Simulation and Software, Ilos Instituto de Logístíca e Supply Chain, PAM Membranas.
Although not administratively in the UFRJ park, GE (General Electric) also will physically integrate the complex - made possible by an agreement between government and the Army, that owns area of 50,000 square meters on the island.
To enter the Ilha do Petróleo, the companies were granted through bidding, use of land for 20 years, renewable for another 20, on payment of rent, which varies monthly from $ 3 to $ 20 per square meter. The research centers will also pay a fee to the park service, similar to a condominium for the maintenance of the area.
