Structured innovation for the Oil and Gas sector

Given the increasing complexity of the technical, environmental, and economic challenges in the oil and gas sector, we seek to promote a more open, collaborative, and systemic culture of innovation.

PETRIS was structured based on a diagnosis of the value chain, identifying bottlenecks and opportunities for modernization or innovation.

This mapping ensured focus and adherence to the real demands of the industry from the outset and gave rise to the Project Lab: a methodology developed to empower startups in the creation of qualified R&D projects with technical consistency and regulatory compliance.
