Oil and Gas Production. In the current Brazilian scenario in the oil sector - characterized by the opening of the exploration and exploitation market of Brazilian oil and gas reserves, and by growing pressure on the competitiveness of companies in the sector - universities must play an important role, particularly in carrying out basic and applied research and professional training, as the experience of several countries shows. The Oil and Gas Production Research Group's central objective is the integrated study of new techniques and technologies that seek to make oil and gas production viable, ensuring the flow of this production in land and sea fields, and aiming to reduce costs through intelligent production management. The Group develops activities in an interdisciplinary manner in Petroleum Production Engineering, involving the Department of Petroleum Engineering and the Department of Energy of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering at UNICAMP. Particularly noteworthy are research in: - Artificial Lift - Gas-liquid-solid separators - Intelligent Systems and - Production & Transport of Heavy Oils. The Group has been operating over the years through the Center for Petroleum Studies - CEPETRO at UNICAMP, which constitutes a Center of Excellence supported by PRONEX - FINEP. Human resources training is carried out through the Postgraduate Program in Petroleum Engineering at FEM-UNICAMP, where the Group has already trained dozens of Masters and Doctors. A significant number of publications in specialized journals and at national and international conferences have been published by the Group's members.
