NASA in Aberdeen – Inspiring the Next Generation 2019
Come along to this exciting presentation – “From Inner Space (Subsea) to Outer Space”, at Robert Gordon’s College and discover how technology and expertise developed for the oil and gas industry transforms human and robotic space exploration – past, present and future!
This talk will be delivered by a NASA Engineer/Scientist and former NASA astronaut Carl Walz, who flew four spaceflight missions on the Space Shuttle and Space Station, logging 231 total days in space! Mr. Walz is now Director of Business Development for Oceaneering.
Carl will discuss how underwater training made spacewalks by astronauts and cosmonauts safe and efficient, and how technologies developed for Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) subsea applications have enabled robotic servicing of the International Space Station (ISS) and will enable future robotic satellite servicing far beyond the reach of astronauts!

Diversity and Inclusion in practice – when the rubber hits the road!
A personal and corporate journey
Come and have lunch on TechnipFMC and ROSEN as Nat and Adrian share from personal and corporate experience which will hopefully benefit/benchmark your own endeavours to make oil and gas/engineering a more inclusive industry.
Adrian will share from his personal and professional background and drawing from this, will relate his experience to diversity decisions. Building on these decisions, he will also present ‘soundbites’ in the mentoring and professional development space.
Nat will share a little of her personal experience and explore TechnipFMC’s diversity journey leading to the SEA Diversity award in 2018, what worked and what did not, and the organisation’s current focus and future challenges.

Composite Pressure Vessel Validation – PDL Solutions (Europe) Ltd
Andy Christie – PDL Engineer
Composite materials have been adopted for a huge number of applications, from a Formula 1 car chassis through to cutting edge bicycle frames.
In many instances, the motivation to adopt composites is a reduction in weight, with no loss in structural strength, when compared to traditional ferrous and non-ferrous metallic materials.
In this presentation we will identify the tools and techniques applied to the design, validation and testing of composite pressure vessels manufactured from filament winding.
We’ll bring samples of the final products, used in offshore rescue situations, for you to pick up and try for size!
Flexible Pipe Composite Pressure Armour Qualification
Vineet Jha – Principal Engineer BHGE
To meet future challenges faced by offshore oil and gas industry, especially in deeper water, the introduction of composite materials is considered essential. Hence, BHGE is developing hybrid composite riser for ultra-deep-water floating production systems, typically found in offshore Brazil and West Africa.
The oil and gas industry is highly regulated and the introduction of new technologies requires significant investment in qualification and validation. Qualification of traditional flexible pipe and newer thermoplastic composite pipe is covered by established International Standards API 17J/API17B and DNV-RP-F119.
However the BHGE solution is a hybrid product not fully covered by either standard.
This presentation shows the BHGE approach to qualification of this unique product, ensuring adherence to relevant requirements of both API 17B/17J and DNV-RP-F119 and providing a robust and safe introduction to the market.
