Chairman Iain Knight, JP Kenny
Corrosion Related to Subsea Applications
George Winning, Regional Manager, Wood Group Integrity Management
This presentation looked at the basics of corrosion and how these relate to subsea developments. This includes the drive toward higher temperatures and pressures in these environments. This also includes external corrosion threats associated with deepwater applications.
Materials in the Subsea Oil and Gas
David Lee, Materials Engineer, Wood Group Integrity Management
Following on from the corrosion presentation, this looked at materials used in the deepwater applications and the mechanical effects of stress and strain in these harsh environments.
Subsea Insulation
David Mobbs, Business Development Manager, Wood Group Integrity Management
With the deeper water applications, the need for insulation is key to a successful development of these field to avoid flow assurance issues such as wax or hydrate formation. This presentation looked at the need for insulation factors that affect choice and use including the requirement for correct inspection of the insulation at the application stage.
