In 2021, SUT teamed up again with Australian Society of Exploration Geophysicists, Engineers Australia, Petroleum Club of WA, Petroleum Exploration Society of Australia (PESA) , Society of Petroleum Engineers WA (SPE), Subsea Energy Australia (SEA) and Women in Subsea Engineering (WISE), to put on a co-hosted mentoring program and give everyone the opportunity to broaden their professional network.

Our third learning workshop for 2021 will present – Networking Made Easy with RON GIBSON

Not everyone finds networking easy, but it’s a big part of being successful in your career or business. So it’s important to be good at it.

If you’ve been wondering…

?  Why is it so hard to carry on a CONVERSATION?  How do I EXPAND my network?

?  How do I network if I’M AN INTROVERT?

?  I’m WORKING REMOTELY, how do I keep networking?

?  Would I get that JOB OR PROMOTION if I was better at networking?

?  How do I RECONNECT with people in my network who I have fallen out of touch with?

?  How do I turn networking into ACTUAL BUSINESS?

?  What is the SECRET to networking? …

… then you won’t want to miss this event.

Your presenter, Ron Gibson, is a recognised leader in the field of networking. His 150-plus presentations each year distil nearly three decades of practical networking know-how he has gained from building his own successful business, exclusively from relationships he builds and a strong word-of-mouth reputation. In this workshop, Ron will share specific how-to advice for making networking easy, effective and rewarding.

Seismic reflection is probably the most widely used surveying tool within the marine site survey industry. From surveys looking to characterise the top few metres below the seabed for cable/pipeline depth of burial or potential UneXploded Ordnance (UXO) hazard, through to surveys that image the top 10s to 100s of metres for foundation design or de-risking top hole drilling operations, seismic reflection is ubiquitous in its application. With the ever-expanding offshore renewables sector, the importance of seismic reflection for marine near surface application is only growing.

While the majority of these interpretations are undertaken by geologists/geophysicists manually annotating the seismic reflection sections with their coloured pencils, they are underpinned by quantitative information contained within the variations in amplitude, phase, and frequency content of the data. While a human interpreter might not explicitly extract these in terms of numbers, they are implicitly processing this information and using it, in conjunction with their fundamental geological/geotechnical knowledge, to formulate the final interpretation.

This presentation will look at ways in which this quantitative information can be extracted, distilled and effectively communicated to non-seismic specialists. Questions that will be explored include:

1. Is it possible to capture the detailed information contained in the seismic architecture (such as geohazards), permitting non-seismic specialists to better appraise the potential impact on infrastructure layout/design?
2. Can the internal heterogeneity within soil units be quantified using parameters extracted from our processing workflows and translated into 3D ground models, capturing the spatial variability in ground conditions that can enable us to optimise the usefulness of expensive intrusive investigation techniques?
3. Is it possible to derive fit-for-purpose predictions of geotechnical properties from site investigation seismic reflection data?

A range of different case study examples will be used when discussing these questions, covering all phases of site investigation surveys from appraisal to pre-FEED and post-installation. Particular focus will be paid to energy transition, with examples showing how seismic reflection data can be better leveraged in various ways for large-scale offshore wind projects.

The presentation is ideally suited for anyone interested in maximising the potential of marine seismic reflection data, including geotechnical engineers, geoscientists, geologists and geophysicists.

We invite you to attend our Subsea Awareness Course on the 25 – 29 October 2021 

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.

To register your interest in this course please download and complete the course flyer and email to our Events Team

Submarine landslides occur frequently on both passive and active continental margins releasing sediment volumes that may travel long distances on gentle slopes (0.5 to 3 degrees) over the course of less than an hour to several days. The flowing debris has the potential to severely damage seabed installations fixed platforms, submarine pipelines, cables and other seafloor installations along its path. Understanding the impact drag forces and consequences of pipeline failure are of central importance in engineering of offshore developments.

This presentation focuses on methods developed to estimate the drag forces arising from impact of submarine debris flows on pipelines and codification of those methods in next revision of the ISO 19901-4.

Shallow hazards monitoring while drilling riserless integrates numerous live-data feeds to enable the early detection of adverse drilling conditions which may have not been fully mitigated or which were not prognosed, with the intent of facilitating a timely response before the situation becomes unmanageable. The planning and execution of a proper monitoring effort requires dedicated observers and monitoring standards.

This webinar will expand on the above topics as they have been developed over the last two decades and applied at BHP.
