Join us for a 1-day workshop to learn about the National Academy of Sciences, Gulf Research Program to Understand the Gulf of Mexico Ocean System (UGOS).
The UGOS Program seeks to support activities that will supply new observations, analyses, and modeling needed to advance our understanding of Loop Current dynamics for the purpose of improving predictive skills of the Loop Current and associated eddies, referred to as the Loop Current System (LCS).
This workshop, hosted by the Society for Underwater Technology in the U.S. (SUT-US) and Loop Current & Eddies Alliance (LCEA), will focus on the current activities in the UGOS initiative and opportunities to form effective partnerships and collaboration with the Gulf Of Mexico oceanographic and energy communities as the program progresses into a long term program. The goal is to bring together the industry and research oceanographic community, engineers and offshore operators, and other stakeholders whose have an interest in learning about the current program and who are interested in developing future partnerships and collaboration in the program.
Workshop agenda:
- Introduction to the UGOS Program and future opportunities – Kelly Oskvig (Program Officer, Gulf Research Program).
- Taking the Pulse of the West Florida Shelf at a Hypothesized Loop Current Control Point – Bob Weisberg (University of South Florida).
- Autonomously observing density structure and deep velocities in the Loop Current – Heather Furey (Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution).
- The making of a successful industry/research collaboration to extend the understanding of the Loop Current Eddy system – Pak Leung (Shell), Marcus Ogle (Fugro).
- Loop Current Observations from High Frequency Radar Across the Yucatan Strait, Dry Tortugas and Lower Keys – Steve DiMarco (Texas A&M University).
- Extending the range of High Frequency Radar Systems by installations on offshore platforms – Ruth Perry (Shell).
- Numerical Modelling and forecasting of the Loop Current – Ruoying He (North Carolina State University).
- Serving observational data to the UGOS scientific community – Jan van Smirren (GCOOS).
- Leveraging BSEE NTL Data into the UGOS program – Rafael Ramos (WHG-CLS).
- Panel Session (with a focus on collaboration between oceanographic community and the energy industry).

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.

The seminar shall cover underwater intervention to recover unexploded ordnance and stricken vessels that pose a hazard to shipping and existing infrastructure, covering the operational decision making that often becomes necessary mid-project and touching on commercial aspects of a salvage job.
SMIT: Alexander Gorter, Sr Naval Architect
Wreck Removal of the TS TAIPEI
In March 2016 the 1600 TEU container vessel TS TAIPEI lost propulsion during stormy weather and ran aground at the shore of Shimen, Taiwan. The vessel suffered breaches which resulted in water ingress in its cargo holds and the engine room and the vessel broke in two. The ship’s bunkers from the damaged tanks polluted the shoreline.
SMIT successfully completed within 4 months the removal to the full satisfaction of the Client and local authorities. The presentation will outline the history of contracting this work, as well as the operational details and its challenges.
James Fisher Marine Services: Jennie Kevis-Stirling
James Fisher UXO Operations
James Fisher Marine Services (JFMS) cover a wide range of offshore services including salvage operations and UXO detection, identification & disposal effectively and with minimal disruption to sea life.
JFMS track record includes successful explosive ordnance disposal of over 400 safe disposals without incident, in challenging and varying offshore environmental conditions. This presentation will cover the types of operations required to deal with such hazards, including case study details.
Dr Jennie Kevis-Stirling has been recently promoted within James Fisher Marine Services as their Survey and UXO Manager. Prior to that she has held positions at Fugro and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute.
