Perth – Subsea Production Systems Course: CANCELLED

We invite you to attend our Subsea Production Systems – Operation, Inspection & Maintenance Course

The operation of subsea production systems requires operation, inspection and maintenance strategies that differ considerably from their onshore counterparts. This course provides an introduction to the elements of a subsea production system and how they are operated to maximise production and protect system integrity.

Additionally, presenters will explore the typical operational parameters for a subsea system, the information available during normal operation and the requirements for inspection and maintenance to mitigate the many risks posed by the both the subsea environment and the produced fluids.

 

Registration & Flyer 

The SUT Board have made the difficult decision to cancel this year’s Subsea Production Systems Course on Wednesday 1 June. This course will be held in June 2023.

To register your interest for this course please email our Events Team.

Perth – Subsea Awareness Course

We invite you to attend our Subsea Awareness Course on the 2 – 6 May 2022

This five-day Course has been designed by industry and is suitable for contractors, engineers, operators and those new to subsea, 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.  In particular, hands-on and visual components have been included wherever possible to enable delegates to view software models and products destined for subsea service.

The course also hosts two site visits, taking delegates out of the classroom and into the real life subsea industry plus a networking event on the first day of the course.

Perth – August Evening Technical Meeting

We invite you to attend our August Evening Technical Meeting.

Collaborative Technology Deployment – Julimar Development Phase 2 Project

Image: Courtesy of Subsea 7

Date: Wednesday, 17 August 2022

Time: 5.30 – 8.30pm AWST

Venue: Parmelia Hilton Perth

The evening will focus on the following three topics:

Technology Deployment

Presented by Ben Witton – Woodside

Project delivery certainty is a key success factor for positive business outcomes.  Taking on world first applications across multiple delivery streams comes with risk that requires significant risk reduction to meet business requirements.  The Jumilar Development Phase 2 completed this successfully across both drilling and completions and subsea construction.

This presentation discusses contracting, design, execution, and evaluation of technologies for the subsea construction of the Julimar Development Phase 2. It includes methodology followed for both technology selections, engineering development, qualification tests, post project evaluation, lessons learned along with health and safety benefits.

Technology Innovations

Presented by Michael Salsano- Subsea 7

Several innovative technologies were implemented during the execution of the Julimar Development Phase 2, including the largest CRA insulated flowline ever installed via reel lay, the use of Thermoplastic Composite Pipe for a MEG jumper application, and the use of Pipe Clamping Mattresses for walking mitigation.

This presentation provides an overview of these novel solutions and of the benefits they can offer. It also discusses the challenges encountered and the focus areas that were identified during design, construction and installation phases of the project.

Understanding PCM-seabed interaction through physical modelling

Presented by Phil Watson & Scott Draper – UWA Centre for Offshore Foundation Systems

Deployment of pipe clamping mattresses for Julimar Development Phase 2 represents the first use of this technology in carbonate silty sand often encountered in intermediate water depths on the North West Shelf – introducing challenges related to geotechnical performance and sediment mobility.  To address these challenges, physical modelling was undertaken in the both the centrifuge and large O-tube facilities at UWA.  This presentation will provide an overview of the testing that was performed, summarise key findings, and preview ongoing studies.
