High-performance coatings for corrosion protection in sub-sea, underwater & offshore environments
This talk will provide a brief overview of the various technologies that are in use for protecting assets in sub-sea, underwater and offshore environments. We will then dive into further detail regarding coatings specifically designed for use with subsea production facilities in Oil & Gas installations, which face the additional challenge of operating in a high temperature and pressure environment, with water depths of up to 3000m and temperatures of 90°C and beyond

Oceanology International 2020 has been postponed until 1-3 December 2020
The health and safety of our exhibitors, visitors, and staff is, of course, our number one priority. We have been closely monitoring the situation and the notices issued by the World Health Organisation (WHO) as well as Public Health England and the authorities in London. We have also been in regular dialogue with many exhibitors, visitors and conference speakers to understand their views and to ensure we make the best decision – in such challenging circumstances – for the ocean communities we serve.
Whilst it is hugely disappointing to postpone the event and not a decision we have taken lightly, we believe it is the best course of action for all involved, given the ongoing developments and concerns related to COVID-19.
We trust that postponing the show will enable us to ensure we deliver the true value of this world-leading event later in the year. We will be working closely with all our global customers and partners over the coming weeks and look forward to returning to the Excel
Bringing the industry together for 50 years
Oceanology International is celebrating 50 years as the world’s largest ocean technology exhibition and conference.
500+ exhibitors will join the celebration in the only event that brings together the 3 key players in the industry: businesses, academics, and government. Live demonstrations and interactive seminars accompany a host of new features to be announced soon.
With over 8,000 attendees targeted for 2020, it is a must-attend event for those involved in exploring, monitoring, developing or protecting the world’s oceans, from seabed to surface and beyond.
Join us in London to discover game-changing innovations and solutions transforming the future of ocean technology

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.
