Ora2Pg is a good tool for one time migration. 

However, when we come to crucial production databases where we have least 
downtime window. Then replicating data from Oracle to PostgreSQL and later 
doing switchover to postgreSQL (new database) in short window, is the efficient 
way I have found and I have used xDB Replication most of time, since its easy 
to configure and provides GUI mode to monitor your replication etc. I did many 
migration from Oracle Production database to PostgreSQL. Getting long downtime 
window for Production is the main issue I have seen for crucial customer facing 
applications.
