Kuala Lumpur – Subsea Awareness Course

This four and half day Course has been designed to be suitable for contractors, engineers, operators and those new to the offshore industry, 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.

Full programme and registration form attached here.

Kuala Lumpur – The Life-Cycle of Flexible Risers and Flowlines

This course has been developed by three flexible pipe manufacturers and key companies associated with system design, failure mode analysis, and integrity management of flexible flowlines and risers.  The course is aimed at those who specify, purchase, approve, install, operate, manage the integrity of, or decommission flexible risers or flowlines, including jumpers.  The course should provide enough knowledge for them to feel comfortable with their responsibilities and is likely to apply to both engineers and non-engineers at various stages in their careers.

There is a full programme and registration form found here.  Should you wish to reserve a place or require further information, please do not hesitate to contact Joyce.

Offshore Overview – Macro Market Trends and Subsea Market Opportunities
Matthew Sharpe, Analyst, Infield Systems
In a presentation analysing the offshore oil and gas markets, Matthew Sharpe will explore how recent trends in energy supply and demand have impacted the offshore markets. The presentation will pull on Infield’s proprietary modelling system by providing offshore activity and Capex forecasts before focusing on subsea market trends and opportunities. Finally, the narrative will focus on the markets ability to deliver the forecasted level of activity, with particular emphasis on rig availability and subsea tree manufacturing capacity.

The Subsea Market -Update on the Capital Markets and the M & A Environment
Mike Beveridge, Managing Director, Simmons & Co
(For a copy of this presentation please contact [email protected])
In this presentation, Mike will give an update on the capital and financing markets, talking through some major themes which are driving offshore and subsea activity both in the North Sea and internationally.

Insight to Current Industry Technology Challenges and Trends
Dr Patrick O’Brien FREng, Chief Executive, The Industry Technology Facilitator (ITF)
In his presentation, Patrick will provide an insight to the subsea and related technology challenges faced by ITF member companies including operators and major service organisations, and look at the role of collaboration in the development and deployment of new technologies.
He will also seek to identify a technology development strategy for subsea that ensures it remains a key contributor to maximising hydrocarbon extraction from the UK North Sea, extending the life of the UK basin and maintaining the UK’s competitive edge in subsea within the international arena.

Report

The world’s oceans are common to increasingly different industries and, as their uses multiply, so does the need for better understanding between these vested interests.
These lectures are about collaboration between the oil and fishing industries. In particular, they deal with how the traditional fishing industry and the newer oil and gas exploration and production industry are able to work together, in harmony, for the common good.

‘An Overview of North Sea Fishing’
Mike Montgomerie, Gear Technologist, Seafish
Mike Montgomerie is a former trawlerman who will talk about the high-technologies used to target the different species of fish and the kinds of information used to identify and avoid the location of subsea equipment. He will give an overview of risks of becoming fast on seabed hazards and address the design considerations of modern fishing gear and vessels and their applications. Mike is from Seafish which is an industry body set up to sustain a profitable future. for the British Seafood Industry.

Subsea Overtrawlable Structures
Ian Davidson, Principle Engineering Eastern Hemisphere, FMC Well Completions
FMC is a global corporation and Ian Davidson is the Principal Engineer responsible for well completions systems in the eastern hemisphere. His talk will focus on the ethos behind the design of overtrawlable structures in subsea engineering and how, in a spirit of overt collaboration, FMC has endeavoured to design, develop and apply their ‘fishing friendly structures’ to meet approval by the Scottish Fisherman’s Federation. Ian’s lecture will discuss; design, installation, loading and how risk analysis is used to mitigate snagging.
