Advanced oceanographic technology is driving the rapid expansion of South America’s offshore energy sector, particularly in Brazil’s deepwater pre-salt fields and Guyana’s Stabroek Block.
Effective operations across harsh marine environments require real-time ocean data for supporting subsea construction, drilling and vessel safety. Operators are increasingly relying on wave monitoring and oil spill detection systems to manage operational risks and ensure environmental protection across the region.
Accelerating commercial momentum in South America, the Norwegian ocean technology company Miros has reported for the year several wins in double-digits across the region.
These contracts were secured during the end of 2025, and continue to generate value for the company. The first three quarters of 2026 have set a positive tone for the company's future, with most activities concentrated in Brazil alongside deployments linked to offshore operations in Guyana.
Core deployment and scope
The deployments span real-time wave and ocean monitoring and oil spill detection, supporting operations including subsea construction, offshore vessel operations, drilling-related activities and environmental response.
While these agreements comprise several exisiting customers, deals were secured with new clients as well. Miros got several bookings for services extensions in additional vessels and assets, including offshore support vessels, marine response vessels and drilling-related assets.
Marius Five Aarset, CEO of Miros, said, “What is particularly encouraging is not simply the number of wins, but the pattern behind them. We are seeing new customers adopting Miros’ technology, existing customers expanding to additional vessels, and growing activity in Brazil.”
“Across subsea operations, drilling, vessel operations and oil spill response, the common requirement is reliable real-time information that supports safer and better-informed decisions offshore.”
Regional commitment and expansion
Andrew Wallace, Regional Commercial Manager at Miros, said, “At Miros we have a long-term commitment to Brazil and the wider South American market. We continue investment in the region through our technology, engineering expertise, commercial resources and direct customer engagement, supported by our trusted local partners who strengthen our regional reach and delivery capabilities.
"The continued activity strengthens Miros’ presence in South America, with Brazil at the center of its regional growth and further opportunities across offshore energy, vessel operations and environmental monitoring.”
