In order to build an open platform for technology exchange on the exploration and development of global marine energy resources and, at the same time, to further promote the international cooperation between Chinese and Brazilian petroleum enterprises in the development of deepwater oil and gas fields, the 7th International SUT (China) Technical Conference and 2nd China-Brazil Deepwater Forum will be held in Beijing during 26-30 September 2018.

Specialists and scholars from domestic and overseas research, engineering and operation organisations are invited to share knowledge on the latest advances in subsea technologies.
The Society for Underwater Technology (SUT), is the world’s most influential academic organisation for underwater engineering. It was established in 1966 and is headquartered in London, England. It is a multi-disciplinary society that gathers institutions and individuals concerned with underwater technology, marine science and ocean engineering.

The annual SUT (China) Conference has been successfully held in Shenzhen, Shanghai, Qingdao, Beijing (twice) and Haikou since 2012.

The biennial China-Brazil Deepwater Forum was initiated by China University of Petroleum (Beijing) and the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The inaugural forum was held in Rio de Janeiro in 2016.

This two-day course has been specifically designed for people new to subsea or unfamiliar with the various corrosion considerations which need to be applied during design, construction and operation of subsea assets.

The aim of this course is to provide an overview of the various materials and corrosion issues which are applicable to subsea structures. The choices made which impact one area of corrosion and integrity will often impact the choices in other areas, and also affect the long term inspection and monitoring which may be required to ensure the design life is met. Having a general overview of the interaction between the various factors and the impact that certain choices make and the equipment used in inspecting and monitoring the structures will provide attendees with a broad knowledge on the interaction which needs to be considered in any installation.

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.
