Connecting Onshore to Offshore with SMD Horizon

Dr Andrew Ambrose-Thurman, Lead Engineer – Autonomous Systems, SMD

Andrew has worked on R&D projects ranging from giant radioactive subsea pipe scanners, to solar-powered racing cars, to award-winning autonomous robot swarms for mapping the seabed. He’s currently leading the development of SMD’s new Horizon system, for remote controlling subsea vehicles from anywhere in the world via the cloud.

This talk will give an overview of the Horizon project and show some of the benefits that connecting Onshore to Offshore can bring to you.

Automation Through Digital Solutions

Dylan Jones, Data Scientist and Optimisation Specialist, Kinewell Energy

Kinewell Energy develop optimisation tools for planning and designing offshore wind farms. This talk will cover the range of benefits we can get from automation and digitisation, stressing the vital need for such solutions in meeting net zero targets. Using Kinewell’s software as examples we will explore various design challenges associated with offshore wind developments.

Mick Cook, Director MCL Consultancy

From MSc to MD – Lessons Learned On The Way!

Presenter’s Biography: Since completing his MSc in 1979, Mick has spent 45 years working as a marine site investigation geophysicist in the energy sector. Initially working as a contractor, Mick joined the embryonic consultancy Hydrosearch, in 1984. Over the next 20 years, he assisted the company as a partner and director in building the business into one of the largest geoscience/environmental consultancies in the world. Hydrosearch was bought by RPS in 2003. Mick was appointed MD of the newly formed RPS Energy and, over the next five years helped grow the business 10-fold. In 2008 Mick semi-retired and set up his own consultancy – MCL.

Abstract: Mick has enjoyed almost every one of the 45 years spent working as an SI geophysicist in the offshore energy sector. During this time, he has seen many changes in the site investigation business from pre-computer, pre-GPS, pre-internet, etc to today’s highly sophisticated and highly valued business. Mick has been fortunate to have worked globally with exceptional ‘can-do’ people and has enjoyed a modicum of success from lowly days spent ‘in the field’ to developing, running, and, latterly, assisting businesses by sitting on a number of boards as a non-executive director during semi-retirement. Along the way, Mick has learned many lessons; one of the biggest being ‘it is not just about the science’. Before retiring fully, Mick is keen to share his learnings with young/early career geoscientists, enabling them to enjoy the success that Mick has experienced.

Dr Aggeliki Georgiopoulou, Geoscience Manager at Ternan Energy

Navy Leaders – Combined Naval Event 2024

21-23 May 2024 | Farnborough, UK

Find out more at www.navyleaders.com

This is the 11th iteration of this meeting, the third time we have co-located three events, and the second time we have added on our Surface Fleet Technology meeting. It is a pleasure to welcome you once more to Farnborough, which with its size and links will be our home for the foreseeable future. We are looking to welcome >1,500 attendees representing >50 nations and >200 companies.

It will have been a year since we last met and the maritime environment is emerging as key priority for NATO and its partners. Future Surface Fleet developments, ensuring comprehensive Underwater Defence and Security, and maintaining world beating Submarine Technology and Surface Fleet Technology are central tenants to this. The combination of the four help countries to develop their maritime capabilities, ensure freedom of navigation is not threatened and when necessary, sea control and denial are achieved.

The intent is for a wide cross-section of attendees from international navies, defence industry, academia to explore how to align in common purpose that assures naval capabilities match to the strategic, operational, technological opportunities and demands of the future.

Perth – Subsea Awareness Course 2024

This five-day Course has been designed by industry and is suitable for contractors, engineers, operators and those new to subsea, those transferring from other disciplines within the industry and those who have worked in subsea previously but would benefit from a refresher course and exposure to the latest technology.

Whilst most of the course will be presented in a ‘classroom’ environment, the sessions will be interactive, with the opportunity to ask questions and discuss what has been learnt.  In particular, hands-on and visual components have been included wherever possible to enable delegates to view software models and products destined for subsea service.

The course also hosts two site visits, taking delegates out of the classroom and into the real life subsea industry plus a networking event on the first day of the course.

This is an essential course providing a greater understanding of the subsea environment. Upon completion of the course our expert presenters will have covered the following topics:

  • Introduction to Subsea
  • The Seabed
  • Flow Assurance
  • Wellheads & Trees
  • Inspection, Maintenance & Repair
  • Umbilicals
  • Control Systems & Control Fluids
  • Risk, Reliability & Availability
  • Pipelines & Risers
  • Subsea Processing
  • Installation
  • Case Study

WHO SHOULD ATTEND
Contractors, engineers, operators and those new to subsea, those transferring from other disciplines within the industry and those who have worked in subsea previously but would benefit from a refresher course and exposure to the latest technology.

COURSE FEES:

  • Member $3685 AUD
