Overview

An open panel discussion

We have an enviable history of scientific and engineering innovation, of technology development, and of manufacturing. We have considerable experience of offshore hydrocarbon recovery and we are developing renewable energy technologies, but are there novel opportunities for sustainable exploitation of the world beneath the waves?

Do we have the vision, the skills, the entrepreneurship, the ability to exploit international markets, that may be required to sustain our global position in the future? Under the chairmanship of Dr Jerry Baker, Head of Subsea Lifecycle Management at Atkins, and recent recipient of Subsea UK’s Outstanding Contribution to the Subsea Industry Award, a panel of experts will take questions from the floor and discuss the future of subsea-related industry in the north of England in particular and the UK in general.

We are pleased to announce that the panelists are:
• Dr Tony Trapp, well-known entrepreneur and head of OSBIT Power
• Dr John Lawson, of Chevron Engineering Technology Company • George Rafferty, Chief Executve, NOF Energy
• Professor Dermot Roddy, Science City Professor of Energy, Newcastle University

We anticipate a lively and stimulating debate on the future of our industry.

Presentation

Subsea Compression Technology, Salvatore Micali

After several years of design, quali cation and testing, today subsea compression technology is an economically feasible solution to compensate the gas reservoir pressure depletion.

This presentation will show the traditional subsea gas compression technology applied on the projects under execution (Ormen Lange subsea compression pilot and Åsgard subsea compression sta on) and the new system concepts under development for compact and ultra-long step-out applications.

Salvatore Micali works as a Senior Engineer for the Subsea Power & Power department of Aker Solutions in Oslo, Norway, where he focuses on concept development and tendering activities of subsea compression systems. He is involved in the assessment of new subsea power, process and compressor applications.

Mr Micali holds a BS and MS in Electrical Engineering from the Catania University, Italy. He has more than 6 years experience from the Oil & Gas industry focusing on compression and turbomachinery equipment and systems. Before starting in Aker Solutions, Salvatore worked 4 years at GE Oil & Gas in the Turbo machinery
department in Florence, Italy.
