Macaé, in the state of Rio de Janeiro, is Brazil’s undisputed offshore oil capital — the onshore base for Petrobras’s pre-salt and post-salt operations in the Campos and Santos basins. The city hosts Petrobras’s Bacia de Campos operational headquarters, helicopter terminals providing daily crew transfers to offshore platforms, and a dense ecosystem of international offshore service companies. Zone 1 and Zone 2 classified hazardous areas are present throughout offshore FPSO vessels, semi-submersible platforms, and fixed platform topsides in the Campos Basin. ATEX-certified mobile phones are specified in Petrobras’s international engineering standards for classified area use. Infinity Ex supplies ATEX devices from Kuwait to Macaé and Brazilian offshore operators.
Petrobras operates the world’s deepest producing oil fields from the Santos Basin pre-salt polygon, including Lula (formerly Tupi) — Brazil’s largest oilfield — and Sapinhoa, Buzios (the world’s largest deepwater oil field), and Iracema. From Macaé, Petrobras coordinates crew change logistics, maintenance supply chains, and ATEX equipment procurement for all Campos Basin assets including Marlim, Roncador, Barracuda, and Albacora fields. FPSO vessels — over 40 operated by Petrobras in Brazilian waters — each contain extensive Zone 1 and Zone 2 classified areas in process modules, pump rooms, and crude oil storage tank vents.
International oil companies with Brazilian offshore operations serviced from Macaé include Shell (operating deepwater blocks with Petrobras), TotalEnergies (Lula NE), ExxonMobil, and Equinor. Offshore service companies with major Macaé bases include Schlumberger, Halliburton, Baker Hughes, Subsea 7, Saipem Brasil, and BW Offshore. All require ATEX mobile phones for classified area work on FPSO and platform assets.
Infinity Ex ATEX mobile phones (Ex ib IIC T4 Gb) and tablets (Ex ic IIC T4 Gc) are compatible with FPSO classified areas and offshore platform process modules in the Campos and Santos basins. Petrobras engineering standard N-2595 references IEC 60079 for electrical equipment in explosive atmospheres — ATEX-certified devices with IEC 60079 notified body documentation are accepted under Petrobras’s international procurement framework. IP68 protection handles offshore humidity and spray conditions. Contact Infinity Ex for ATEX device specifications and certification documentation for Brazilian offshore operations.
