This international conference in the field of Subsea Controls & Data Acquisition was aimed at those engaged in the control, monitoring & distribution of subsea systems. The conference provided a unique forum for operators and suppliers of subsea controls & umbilical systems, topside distributed control systems and downhole technologies to network and exchange views and experiences.
The aim of this conference was to bring together the many diverse disciplines engaged internationally in Controls and Umbilical technology, to share experiences and discuss regional challenges, as well as new advances in global subsea technology. For this conference the theme was “Technology Reliability & Availability Through Collaboration”, showcasing ways of bringing new ideas and technology to provide operational cost savings, and from an operator’s & suppliers viewpoint how we can learn from experiences locally and internationally.

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 dinner.
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 in the offshore oil & gas and renewables.
This is an essential course providing a greater understanding of Metocean and how the application of Metocean information can benefit your organisation
particularly with respect to:
Improved safety
Better decision-making and planning
Reduced costs
For all offshore industries, the effects of meteorology and oceanography (metocean) have a major impact on design and operations. The 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.

This course has been developed by flexible pipe manufacturers and key companies associated with system design, failure mode analysis, and integrity management of flexible flowlines and risers. The course is aimed at those who specify, purchase, approve, install, operate, manage the integrity of, or decommission flexible risers or flowlines, including jumpers. The course should provide enough knowledge for them to feel comfortable with their responsibilities and is likely to apply to both engineers and non-engineers at various stages in their careers.

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.
The Evening Technical Meeting sub-committee have carefully put this programme together as an opportunity for universities to show case their capabilities and for you, as industry, to get an insight into the future via their presentations. This is a night for industry not to be mistaken as a night for students, though students are of course welcome. Presentation for the evening will be:
