SUT+ Webinar – Subsea Umbilicals

1330hrs – 1430hrs

This event is free to attend but booking is essential.

Subsea Umbilicals with David Simon, Subsea 7

Since graduating in 2001 with a Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, David has spent the past 18 years developing an umbilical focussed career within the Oil and Gas industry.  After a brief period working in Coiled Tubing well interventions, in 2004 David’s career shifted towards subsea umbilicals where he began training as an umbilical project engineer with Oceaneering Multiflex in Rosyth.  Over the next 6 years, he undertook a number of challenging roles within the organisation, culminating in his appointment as technical sales manager.

In 2011, after a year-long travel sabbatical, David returned to the industry seeking new challenges.  Using his umbilical manufacturing background as leverage, David has been providing specialist engineering support to design consultancies, operators and EPCI contractors ever since.  David currently works for Subsea7 as a Senior Controls and Umbilicals Engineer based in Westhill.

Presentation Overview:

  • Umbilicals Overview – the bigger picture
  • Who’s who in the umbilical industry
  • Umbilical design – an Engineering smorgasbord
  • Spotlight: Challenges of a dynamic environment

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.
