Remotely Operated Pig Launcher – Value Enablement and System Benefits
Speaker – Daniel Mckie, Baker Hughes
In today’s offshore industry, there can be significant reward in exploiting innovative technologies and automation to improve operational efficiency, maximise production availability and optimise operational expenditure. For a typical offshore system, one of the critical elements that influences the operational expenditure of a project is the frequency and methodology for operational pigging. Deploying a vessel to support pigging activities can be a costly strategy over life of field.
This talk presents an overview of Baker Hughes’ Remotely Operated Pig Launcher (ROPL) system, which enables operational pigging activities for offshore assets to be conducted remotely. This approach leverages the installed subsea system infrastructure, without the need to deploy a service vessel for each pigging activity. Enabling technologies and critical system interfaces are discussed, along with an outline of the main operational and economic benefits.
Renewables for Subsea Power Project (RSP)
Speakers – Andrea Caio, Mocean Energy and Paul Slorach, Verlume
The Renewables for Subsea Power Project (RSP) brings together Verlume’s Halo Subsea battery system and Mocean’s Wave Energy Convertor (WEC) to deliver autonomous renewable subsea power and communications to offshore locations. Sponsored by several Operators and the Net Zero Technology Centre (NZTC), the RSP demonstrator system was deployed in the North Sea in February 2023 to prove the viability of using the system to operate subsea assets remotely. Baker Hughes’ Subsea Electronics Modules (SEM) and Transmark’s Autonomous Resident Vehicle (ARV) both reside subsea and connect into Verlume’s Halo battery system which intelligently manages the energy demands. An umbilical links the Halo to the WEC with topside cellular communications and a secure VPN providing a means to remotely access all devices. The RSP configuration has potential applications as a retro-fit solution for umbilical failure remediation, umbilical-less (or optimised) long step outs, marginal fields / tie-backs, CCS applications and for subsea AUV/ROV garages. Results from the ongoing subsea test programme have been highly encouraging, including power availability and over-the-horizon communication stability to the seabed consumers. This talk presents an overview of the technology, system interfaces and the key findings to date.

An Outreach Event from the London Tech Bridge and Naval X
Companies are invited to submit their interest in presenting at the upcoming event on the challenges for uncrewed surface and subsurface vessels:
Problem Statement: Currently, small uncrewed surface and subsurface vessels lack the range and endurance desired to support maritime sensing requirements. To achieve range and endurance goals, we seek technologies that support refueling or recharging of uncrewed systems.
How may we integrate emerging technologies to successfully dock two systems at sea and/or transfer energy without a human in the loop?
Some considerations:
Interested in presenting? Contact London Tech Bridge: Marc Christino, [email protected] with a short explanation of how your company’s product or technology (even in development) can address some or all of the problem statement.
The London Tech Bridge is a collaboration between the US Navy and Royal Navy to foster connectivity, agility, and innovation. It supports dialogue, joint investment, and cooperative development between two navies as they endeavor to advance from Interoperability to Interchangeability. Set in Central London’s booming technology ecosystem spanning academia, industry, and government, it is ideally positioned to harness technology faster for Sailors and Marines

As the world continues to suffer through a global energy crisis, a shock of unprecedented breadth and complexity is unfolding. The recent geo-political events have transformed a rapid economic recovery from the pandemic – which strained global supply chains, among them energy – into a full-blown energy crisis.
Governments, policymakers, academics, and industry experts are reconsidering their strategic priorities, while the “security of supply, affordability, and sustainability” trilemma has lately become more relevant topic than ever. In this direction, the emergence of new energy technologies, the expanded use of renewable energy sources, hydrogen technologies, CCUS, energy storage, electrified transport, and electrified heat to address the problem of energy supply adequacy, climate change and environmental protection have become imperative.
In the light of the new geopolitical landscape and towards a relevant turning point into cleaner and more secure energy systems, SUT are pleased to bring together a program to showcase offshore, marine and subsea developments and technologies with a potential to contribute to the renewable energy mix within the MENA region.
Program details:
Carbon Capture Technologies
Offshore Renewables
Hydrogen
Hosted by Khalifa University through the Research and Innovation Center on CO2 and Hydrogen (RICH Center)
Venue details: Khalifa University, Sas Al Nakl Campus (formerly The Petroleum Institute).
The event is to be held in the ADCO Auditorium, Zarkuh Building (Building 1).

Wednesday 26 July 2023 | 1400-1500hrs | Online via Zoom
We would be delighted if you could join us online for the next installment of the MRIC Seminar Series.
Nick Swift will present the Society for Underwater Technology (SUT) and its Special Interest Groups (SIGs) and how these support Ocean Science, focusing on the work of the SUT’s Panel on Underwater Robotics. The Society for Underwater Technology (SUT) is a multidisciplinary learned society that brings together organisations and individuals with a common interest in underwater technology, ocean science and offshore engineering, and the presentation will highlight recent activities and contribution to the worldwide facilitation of Ocean Science and Technologies. The SUT was founded in 1966 and has members from more than 40 countries, including engineers, scientists, other professionals and students working in these areas. In recent decades many of our members have come from the offshore hydrocarbon sector, today we also see growing numbers of members from offshore renewables, marine autonomous systems, and the policy, law and insurance sectors who support offshore activities of many kinds.
We look forward to seeing you online!

Beyond that contained in the Earth’s crust, the ocean holds by far the largest stock of carbon on our planet, dwarfing carbon in the atmosphere and soils.
How can we make most effective use of the ocean’s capacity to produce oxygen and sequester carbon in delivery of net zero and beyond, while regenerating healthy ocean environments and essential ecosystem services? What can be achieved through restoration of natural ocean systems that contribute to removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, or the use of other climate repair solutions?
The ‘Beyond Net Zero – The role of the ocean in climate repair’ edition of the Oceans of Knowledge conference series, at the Institute of Physics in London on 18 October 2023, will explore these opportunities. The conference will set this critical future use of the ocean into the context of associated scientific, technological, engineering, operational and regulatory challenges. It will focus on the ocean data, information and knowledge needed to inform use of the ocean in climate repair.
