OSIGp Selections of ISFOG Sept 2022

The evening will focus on the following three topics:

1. Sediment Transport and Scour in the Ocean Environment – Knowledge and Future Directions

Speaker: Scott Draper, Associate Professor in Ocean Engineering (University of Western Australia)

Many recent advances in sediment transport and scour prediction in the ocean environment have resulted in large part from an increased availability of high-quality field observations, which have served to both motivate and validate engineering models. Inspired by this emerging trend, this talk describes the basic processes concerning sedimentation and scour before explaining the types of field observations that are now routinely available in practice and the recent advances in experimental capabilities that have enabled improved interpretation of these observations as well as the ability to undertake new, more relevant applied research. A number of case studies are presented for three classes of structure – pipelines, subsea structures and monopiles – which are relevant to a range of Ocean Industries.

2. Strength Properties of Subsea Rockfills at Low Stress Level

Speaker: Hongjie Zhou, Principal Engineer (Norwegian Geotechnical Institute)

This talk presents a desktop study on the rockfill strength properties related to the subsea rockfill, which is generally installed at a loose state and under low stress level compared with its onshore counterparts. The rockfill properties are derived based on extensive review of literature available in the public domain, together with our experience in geotechnical testing, design and installation of rockfills. The focus of the present study is on the effective peak internal friction angle, ϕ′p, of the rockfill, placed by the Fall Pipe installation method, by considering its dependency on the stress level. A case study is presented at the end to demonstrate how the derived relationships can be applied for real designs.

3. Cyclic Loading of Offshore Wind Turbine Suction Bucket Foundations in Sand: The Importance of Loading Frequency

Speaker: Han Eng Low, Senior Principal Engineer (Fugro)

Suction buckets are expected to be increasingly used as foundations for offshore wind turbine (OWT) projects as they move to deeper water and monopiles become impractically large. Since OWTs are relatively light and operational loads include high overturning moments, potential exists for individual foundations to experience periods of net tension with accompanying (significant) cyclic tension. Foundation design must ensure that these loading conditions do not lead to permanent tilting of an OWT, due to differential foundation movement. This talk presents selected results from a series of centrifuge tests designed to investigate how the suction bucket foundation performance is affected by the signature of the loading, the frequency of the cyclic vertical loading and the average vertical load.

Agenda

18:00 Welcome

18:10 Introduction to SUT+ and ECITB Innov8 Group

18:20 Session 1: Martyn Tulloch, Head of Energy System Integration, Net Zero Technology Centre

Martyn’s presentation will provide an overview of the drivers and impacts of Climate Change before moving on to cover the UK and Europe’s Net Zero energy transition plans and the pivotal role that the energy industry will have to play to ensure that these plans are delivered

18:50 Session 2: Mangala Ngala, Engineering Manager – Applied Intelligence (AI), Wood

Preparing for H2’s Impact on Gas Infrastructure – Challenges with Operations and Engineering

19:20 Session 3: Deepthi Gopal, and Cameron Miller, ECITB Innov8 Group

Net zero has been embraced by the industry with fantastic engagement from employers and industry bodies on the skills our workforce will need in the future. This has allowed the ECITB to form a clearer picture of the skills requirements of net zero and to lead the development of training in this ever-growing area.

19:40 Networking

AOG Energy 2023 Exhibition & Conference

Date: 15-17 March 2023
Venue: Perth Convention & Exhibition Centre, Western Australia
Entry: Free

Check out this post-event report by Dr. Julie Morgan which gives a complete and detailed account of everything that happened at the Subsea Forum at AOG 2023 Conference.

AOG Energy 2023 – Registration now open!

Returning to Perth with a renewed focus on the future, AOG Energy opens registrations to the global supply chain for the first time since 2021. The highly anticipated oil, gas and energy event will once again showcase local innovation and explore future opportunity. Running ??-?? ????? ???? at the Perth Convention and Exhibition Centre, AOG Energy welcomes back international and local delegates for three days of collaboration, insights, and networking.

This event will see a strong focus on the opportunities and challenges presented by the energy transition supported by a rich and varied conference program, packed show floor and sought-after networking events.

About AOG Energy

After a few years apart, AOG Energy, Australia’s leading oil, gas and energy trade event returns to Perth March 2023. Returning to its 3-day format, the exhibition and conference will be a hub of innovation, connection and opportunity.

AOG Energy is a FREE-to-attend event that explores the multifarious aspects of the subsea industry and creates an environment to share knowledge and encourage debate between peers, academics, and industry professionals. Forming part of the wider AOG Energy conference, the dedicated Subsea Forum will once again be a major drawcard for the subsea sector.

About AOG Energy 2023 Subsea Forum

The AOG Energy 2023 Subsea Forum is Australia’s leading event for subsea professionals to join forces and identify the challenges and opportunities ahead, as well as showcasing technology and innovation for the underwater sectors.

Australia has been a world leader in developing capability in LNG, which continues to play a crucial part of the future global energy mix. The subsea industry is a key enabling sector that will ensure the fields feeding LNG trains are developed, maintained effectively, and operated efficiently for many years to come, followed ultimately by decommissioning.

More importantly, the subsea sector’s knowledge, expertise and technology will play a significant part in the future decarbonisation of the offshore energy mix. Areas such as Offshore Wind, Wave power, CCS/CCUS and Hydrogen are important for Australia’s future, and the subsea sector is eager to rise to the new challenges and opportunities.

SUT is proud to be involved as one of the Forum Hosts in 2023.
