Welcome to Subsea Technology Laboratory (LTS - Laboratório de Tecnologia Submarina)! We are part of the Ocean Engineering Program - PEnO which is one of the thirteen programs of the Coordination of Graduate Engineering Projects - COPPE located at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro - UFRJ. COPPE / UFRJ is one of the research institutions accredited by the Brazilian National Agency of Petroleum (ANP) according to Investment Clauses in Research, Development and Technological Innovation (ANP Resolution No. 50/2015, Technical Regulation ANP No. 3/2015) and the Brazilian Industrial Research and Innovation Company (EMBRAPII). In almost 30 years of activities, the LTS has already completed twenty-two undergraduate projects, sixty-five master's dissertations and fifteen doctoral theses. He has published more than one hundred articles and works in national and international congresses and magazines and has developed around two hundred and seventy technical consulting reports. It has also been conducting R&D projects eligible to ANP levy. Research lines: • Offshore pipelines alternative conceptions such as Sandwich and composite pipes. • Submarines, ships and floating platforms • Drilling wells • Completion and instrumentation of onshore and offshore wells • Intelligent systems based on materials with shape memory • Wave energy Infrastructure • Physical infrastructure The laboratory, considered the most modern in Latin America, is installed in an area of approximately one thousand seven hundred square meters in the Complex of Teaching and Research Engineering, Block I-2000 Technology Center, Ilha do Fundão.
