The Middle East to India Deepwater Pipeline – A Case Study

This talk will present the Middle East to India Deepwater Pipeline (MEIDP) providing information on the technical and commercial feasibility of the deepwater gas transportation system, which will reach a record water depth of 3450m, cross two continental slopes, an earthquake subduction zone (the Owen Fracture Zone) and outfall debris of the river Indus fan in 2500m water depth.

Linking Middle East gas fields of Saudi Arabia, UAE and Oman to India across the Arabian Sea for an offshore distance of 1200 kilometers. The MEIDP gas transmission pipeline is designed to transport up to 1.1BCFD gas into the Indian energy markets. The economic and political drivers for such a project will be discussed together with details of the overall project cost. The pipeline project history and current design status will be reviewed together with findings of the Marine Reconnaissance survey between Oman and India. The challenges faced by the project from both a design and installation perspective will be highlighted together with some of the detailed geohazard assessments performed for the pipeline crossing and active fault zone (OFZ) and the Indus Fan.

The curious case of the shifting sands of the Southern North Sea and a pipeline rupture

Petrofac undertook a subsea failure investigation for a southern north sea pipeline. The investigation and analysis determined some interesting outcomes regarding the level of seabed mobility and the combination of factors that lead to the failure. The session will showcase some of the performed assessments and the outcomes related to shallow water pipelines operating on very mobile seabeds

This course offers foundational knowledge for individuals entering the industry and those needing a refresher, in addition to providing unique networking opportunities with professionals from the oil and gas industry.

Four-day course offering industry professionals a broad introduction to subsea, covering the various sectors, operations and emerging technologies. Course participants receive first-hand instruction from leading supply and service companies, such as TechnipFMC, Chevron, Oceaneering, Genesis Oil and Gas, the Jukes Group, Blackfin Offshore, Evoleap and BP as well as guided tours to subsea facilities and operations.

While 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 learned. 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.

Who should attend
Engineers, managers, financial analysts, and others new to the offshore industry, or those transferring from other disciplines within the industry. This course is also great for engineers who have worked in subsea previously but would benefit from a refresher course and exposure to the latest technology.

Metocean is a discipline covering meteorology and physical oceanography and is concerned with quantifying the impact and effect of weather and sea conditions on a wide range of activities particularly in the offshore oil and gas and renewables industries.

Why will this course benefit you?
________________________________________

For all offshore industries, the effects of meteorology and oceanography (metocean) have a major impact on design and operations. If users of metocean information are not aware of the implications that the weather, waves, currents and water levels can have on their operations or design work, then things can go wrong with serious health and safety and economic consequences.

This two day Metocean Awareness Course is aimed at those who need to have a greater understanding of metocean conditions worldwide and how they might impact the effectiveness of their work. The course format will include a mixture of short presentations presented by expert speakers in this field. Delegates will receive a comprehensive course manual on attendance.

Who should attend?
________________________________________

This course is essential for Project Managers and Engineers in the offshore oil and gas and renewables industries, involved in operations or design, from new entrants to the industry to those with many years of experience. The course will enable delegates to interact and network with expert speakers and other delegates from various backgrounds who use or provide metocean data.

Pre-Conference workshop during the 20th Annual Subsea Tieback Forum & Exhibition from February 18-20, 2020 in San Antonio, Texas at the Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center.

The Pre-conference workshop “Key Elements of Subsea Tiebacks” aims to educate offshore professionals on the key elements of subsea tiebacks – subsea, umbilicals, risers, flowlines (SURF). This workshop is conducted under the auspices of the Society for Underwater Technology in the U.S. (SUT-US).

Conference registration is not required in order to attend this workshop.

Oil prices are on a knife-edge heading into 2020. However, commodity prices are still projected to hold around $60-65 in 2020. This is expected to support investment over the next 12 months, as supermajors are posting strong financials, and many are expected to increase offshore Capex spending next year.

Westwood forecast US$125bn billion of new development expenditure to be sanctioned in 2020. E&P cost control will remain a key theme in 2020, but project lead times are expected to grow, as lower development costs continue to facilitate final investment decisions. Market optimism is increasing, as engagements between E&P companies and the supply chain continue for the optimisation and delivery of various field development concepts.

Meanwhile, the offshore rig market continues to gain momentum, although not as quickly as many had hoped for. Rig utilization is rising moderately as a whole, but some regions have seen more robust gains, and day rates have accordingly increased. For 2020, growth is expected to continue, assuming oil prices remain at or above current levels.

Westwood Global Energy’s Head of RigLogix, Terry Childs, will discuss what is happening in the global offshore rig market, as well as provide a general overview of the subsea market and what can be expected there.
