Who we are

An engineering group bridging academia and industry

BrazFlow Labs is a Brazilian petroleum-engineering consultancy formed by students, former students and professors with broad experience in flow assurance and fluid engineering.

We support oil & gas companies through engineering projects, technical assistance and applied research — pairing hands-on experimentation with computational modeling to turn uncertainty into evidence-based decisions.

BrazFlow Labs is currently undergoing incubation at UFES — Federal University of Espírito Santo, within the university's innovation and entrepreneurship program, keeping our work closely connected to leading-edge academic research.

  • Experimental, data-driven and reproducible approach
  • Tests and models validated against real conditions
  • Incubated at UFES — Federal University of Espírito Santo

How we work

From experiment to optimization

A workflow that connects laboratory experimentation, physical modeling and CFD to deliver reliable results.

01

Data & diagnosis

We review fluid, production and operating data to scope the flow-assurance risk.

02

Experimentation

Batch-reactor tests for scaling, inhibitors and materials under controlled conditions.

03

Modeling & CFD

Simulation of valves, equipment and flow to explore scenarios and sensitivities.

04

Recommendations

Actionable mitigation and optimization plans, with clear engineering metrics.
