ANP Director-General Décio Oddone displays a copy of the 11th edition of the IADC Drilling Manual, as well as a copy of Petrobras’ first deepwater drilling manual. Mr Oddone, who joined Petrobras in 1985 as the company was gearing up to drill its first deepwater wells, was among key contributors to the Petrobras manual. It was among Petrobras’ earliest efforts to standardize its deepwater operations and was inspired by the IADC Drilling Manual, Mr Oddone recalled.
