OSIGp invite you to the 2022 Awarding Ceremony

This is a competition event where students, young academics, and early-careers professionals aged 30 years and under, give a 7-min presentation about their research or contributions in the advancement of knowledge in and practice of the offshore 4Gs – Geophysics, Geology, Geomatics and Geotechnical Engineering.

At the end of the night, the OSIGp Committee will determine the best presentation who will then be awarded the “OSIGp Prize”.

PROGRAMME:

• 5.30pm – 6.00pm: Registration
• 6.00pm – 7.00pm: Presentations
• 7.00pm – 8.00pm: Networking over drinks and finger food

FINALISTS:

1. Alessandra Rosati from Sapienza Università di Roma on “Load-time failure envelopes for suction caissons under sustained vertical loading.”
2. S. Farid Fazel Mojtahedi from University of Melbourne on “Assessment of offshore geo-hazard and failure prediction using AI-ML.”
3. Thien An Nguyen from The University of Western Australia on “Wind turbines foundation: from wind to earthquake.”

KEYNOTE SPEAKER: Professor Mark Randolph

He’ll be presenting on “A Lifetime of Offshore Geotechnics – Career Reflections and Lessons Learned”

Graham Dixon, Vattenfall: Hydrogen Turbine 1 (HT1)

Click here to view the presentation

Vattenfall’s HT1 project aims to be the first in the world to test the full integration of hydrogen production with an offshore wind turbine. HT1 will also map out development and consent processes for large-scale hydrogen projects co-located with offshore wind farms to speed up future development.

The pilot project at Vattenfall’s Offshore Wind Farm in Aberdeen Bay will have an output of 8.8MW and will be able to produce enough hydrogen every day to power a hydrogen bus to travel 24,000km. Hydrogen will be produced offshore, on the wind turbine and be exported to shore at Aberdeen South Harbour via a small diameter flowline.

The availability of large quantities of fossil-free hydrogen will play a key role in the decarbonisation of heavy industry (predominantly in steel, chemicals, and fertilizer production as well as refining), as well as heavy transport.

Eric Kiltie, Salamander Floating Wind: A Steppingstone for the Scottish Supply Chain

Wind turbines at sunrise off the North East coast

The Salamander Offshore Floating Wind project is being developed by Simply Blue Energy (Scotland) Ltd in joint venture with Ørsted and Subsea 7. The project ethos is to be a precursor and stepping-stone to ScotWind developments; allowing the Scottish supply chain to gear-up and de-risk in preparation for these commercial-scale opportunities.

Salamander is planned as a 100 MW development comprising six or seven turbines situated on industrialised steel semi-submersible floating foundations. The project location is approximately 35 km east of Peterhead in the North East of Scotland with water depth of around 100 m.

This session will present the current status of the development and discuss some of the challenges ahead.

This event is jointly run with the Aberdeen Association of Civil Engineers

How Nauticus is utilizing fully autonomous robotics to execute subsea manipulation but with an added safety layer of control by having a person in the controls loop for supervision. What is the technical readiness of the technology, and what makes this technology commercially viable?

18-19th January 2023 | In-person training course

This course has reached capacity. To be added to the waitlist please complete and submit the form below.

University of Southampton | Day 1 – NOCS building on the Waterfront Campus | Day 2 – Boldrewood Campus

This two-day in-person course provides a comprehensive introduction to site investigation and ground engineering in the offshore environment and has been run successfully for a number of years. The course will include a stimulating mix of case studies, lectures, computer practicals, and ‘hands-on’ laboratory testing to help illustrate concepts and applications. An evening meal is included on the first day followed by mini-lectures.  Alongside valuable knowledge sharing, the course is an excellent opportunity to network within the offshore industry.

Industry experts will cover a wide range of topics from planning an offshore site investigation, through technical and operational aspects of data acquisition and reporting, to the practical use of the data in geohazard assessment and foundation design.

This course is intended for non-specialists and will give a broad overview of the offshore market today and how the data acquired is applied to maximise the value of offshore projects.
