Proserv accelerates growth in Brazil energy sector through strategic localisation

Aberdeen-headquartered Proserv, a global leader in controls technology, is accelerating its international growth with a strategic push into Brazil’s dynamic energy market; bringing proven expertise and high-value solutions directly to oil and gas operators seeking to optimize performance, reliability, and efficiency.

This localisation marks a significant milestone in Proserv’s international growth strategy, bringing its proven offshore and subsea expertise to one of the world’s most dynamic energy markets. The move is designed to support Brazilian operators in addressing critical challenges around equipment reliability, lifecycle performance, and technology focused solutions.

Brazil’s offshore infrastructure is facing increasing pressure from ageing equipment and the operational demands of deepwater production. Proserv’s entry into the region is underpinned by a solutions-led approach that prioritises asset optimisation, cost efficiency, and reliability.

What does this mean for Proserv?

1. Proserv now has a local trading entity in Brazil and is open for local contracting.
2. Proserv has its first local job listing in Brazil and will be hiring our first local employee.
3. Proserv will be driving our local partnerships in country and extending our global strategic partners to expand in country capabilities.

Proserv will focus on delivering a suite of offerings and dedicated services tailored to local market needs, including:

• Subsea Control Modules and upgrade solutions with a full life of field service offering.
• Augmented Controls Technology; upgrades for existing installed equipment regardless of original manufacturer
• Topside control systems for brownfield and greenfield applications including full-service offering, replacing and repairing existing systems with an OEM agnostic approach.
• Total Design and manufacture of Hydraulic power units (HPU’s) for deployment in safe areas, hazardous areas and FPSO’s. With flexible drive options, including pneumatic, gas operated and electrically driven pumps, Proserv HPUs can be tailored to deliver the exact flow rates and pressure ranges required by each client’s application.
• Accurate and compliant metering control systems that protect revenue by combining bespoke design, 30+ years of expertise, and full lifecycle support for total confidence in every transaction
• From reservoir to refinery, delivering sampling solutions across the full field lifecycle; supporting clients from design and manufacture through certification, operation, and aftermarket services.

These solutions are designed to extend asset life, improve operational uptime, and reduce total cost of ownership, helping operators maximise value from existing infrastructure while maintaining compliance and performance standards.

Daniel Fearnley, Senior Vice President, Sales & Strategic Accounts at Proserv, said: "Brazil represents a compelling opportunity for Proserv to bring our global subsea expertise to a market that demands both technical excellence and cost efficiency.

"Operators are navigating increasingly complex challenges with ageing assets, and our approach, focused on upgrade, optimisation, and lifecycle extension, enables them to achieve more with what they already have.

"We are committed to building long-term partnerships in the region by delivering reliable, high-value solutions that directly address these needs. Proserv has supported Brazil through its global locations for more than 20 years.

"With increasing demand in the market, establishing a local presence has now become essential to sustaining our growth and strengthening our position in the region."

Kevin Gentry, Director of Sales & Strategic Accounts – Americas at Proserv, added: "The Brazil market is highly competitive and cost-driven, but there is a clear and growing need for reliable service, repair and upgrade solutions.

"Much of the installed equipment is in poor condition, creating a significant opportunity for Proserv to support operators in improving performance without the need for full system replacement.

"Our technologies and expertise allow us to deliver tangible operational benefits while aligning with the commercial realities of the market."

With over 60 years of experience, Proserv brings deep domain knowledge in controls, monitoring, and optimisation. Its technology-agnostic approach ensures seamless integration with existing systems, enabling operators to enhance functionality while minimising disruption, cost, and environmental impact.

Through this localisation, Proserv reaffirms its commitment to supporting the global energy sector with innovative solutions that improve reliability, reduce risk, and extend the life of critical offshore infrastructure.
