SUT Middle East – AC & DC for Offshore Power Transmission & Distribution, Project Lightning making the case for HVDC in the MENA Region

An introduction to the use of AC & DC electrical systems for Offshore Power & Distribution, with a focus on the DC perspective

Tuesday 30 April 2024

09:00 – 12:00 at Khalifa University, Abu Dhabi: SAN Campus, ADMA Auditorium in Arzanah Building

With the Energy Transition serving as a primary driver, the world’s complex energy landscape is changing at a rapid pace to support the acceleration towards Net Zero by 2050. The generation and effective utilization of clean energy sources, along with the decarbonization of operations, form a key element of this global transition. SUT are pleased to bring together a program of key industry players to outline the role that AC & DC electrical systems play in offshore operations, using Project Lightning as a case study for the use of a HVDC system in the MENA Region.

ECOSIGG Webinar – Boats, Drills, Sound Waves and Drones

Wednesday 17th April  |  1230-1330hrs GMT  |  Webinar on Zoom

This webinar is FREE to attend, but registration is essential.


Based on David’s career experiences, the presentation will run through some of the main site investigation techniques, the resulting datasets and how they can be used to appraise offshore sites at a variety of stages of a project. Key topics include:

  • The importance of a desktop study, to guide site selection, feasibility, engineering concepts and design of a suitable site investigation scope of work.
  • Key site investigation techniques, including offshore, nearshore and intertidal geophysical and geotechnical survey methods, and some key challenges.
  • Data processing and interpretation methods and how the resulting datasets are packaged and delivered.
  • Data integration and analysis methods to maximise the available site investigation data.

David is a principal consultant geoscientist, predominantly focussed on multidisciplinary data interpretation and integration to support the offshore renewables and subsea cables industries. David’s career began in onshore geotechnics, with exposure to a variety of site operations, both onshore, nearshore and offshore, before transitioning to a more desk-based role analysing of a variety of geodata to characterise site conditions, hazards and constraints.

ECOSIGG Webinar – Integrated Ground Modelling in the Dutch Sector, North Sea for Offshore Wind Development

1230-1330hrs GMT | This webinar is FREE to attend, but registration is essential.


The Dutch Sector of the North Sea is a region of geological complexity with many sequences of glacially modified strata and is one of the densest European development areas for offshore wind. In this talk, I will guide the listener through the integrated ground modelling process implemented to reduce ground risk uncertainty at one of the prospective wind farm sites, IJmuiden Ver Alpha and Beta. I will demonstrate the methodology, results and challenges identified during site investigation, geodata integration and development of a full suite of innovative products that help developers gain clarity on variable soil conditions.

Speaker: Harry Eady (MSci Geol (Hons.) – Supervising Engineering Geologist, Fugro

Harry is an Engineering Geologist working in a multi-disciplinary team of Geologists, Geotechnical Engineers and Geophysicists at Fugro with the purpose of performing detailed site characterisation and geohazard analysis for offshore developments using innovative ground modelling techniques.

OES – Artificial Reefs

Deep dive into the world of nature-based solutions and discover how companies like ARC Marine are restoring marine habitats whilst at the same time building large offshore infrastructure projects.  ARC Marine have developed reef cubes® to be the most sustainable building material in our oceans. They are made of carbon negative concrete, plastic free, consist of 98% recycled materials and certified safe for use in the marine environment.  They meet the technical requirements of coastal developers enabling them to choose reef cubes® to protect their marine infrastructure, preventing the use of traditional toxic and high carbon alternatives. reef cubes® are scientifically proven to boost biodiversity, restore our oceans and prevent millions of tons of GHG’s being produced as well as restoring damaged reef ecosystems whilst humans continue to build in the ocean to fight climate change.

Note: Registration is not required to attend the event in person.
