Southco Contractos is proud to be an institution with multiple technical and organizational skills, in this regard, its decisions take into account the variation in the execution time of projects, divided into “concluded projects, projects in execution and new projects. This division alludes to completed projects, as well as those from the stock of projects already contracted and not yet finalized and concomitantly to the flow of new contracts.
There are activities that, due to their complexity, require more time for their development and therefore go beyond different periods, these are long-term projects, as is the case of Research & Development (R&D) projects.
R&D activity is understood to be creative work undertaken systematically with the aim of increasing the stock of knowledge and the use of this knowledge to develop new applications, such as new or substantially improved products or processes. This time, R&D stages are the design, construction and testing of prototypes and pilot installations that involve significant technological or scientific advances.
However, it should be noted that Southco Contractos provides a wide range of services and businesses for Industry in general, although the predilection is the oil sector, with emphasis on “supply and recruitment of qualified and semi-qualified labor force, solutions for personnel selection, advice on local content strategy and value creation.
In this regard, Southco Contractos classifies its services as “technical and technological”. That is, technical services are routine activities, that is, those that do not require a specific study or an adjustment in the process to obtain results and hardly imply scientific and technological advances. Technological services, on the other hand, comprise activities that require specific studies or adaptations in the process to obtain the result and can enable the client to introduce a new or significantly improved product/process.
Thus, the epicenter of Southco Contractos' strategic positioning aims to promote and streamline the chain of goods and services in the oil sector with the aim of consistently increasing its market share in the sector.
