Do you want to know about Subsea Technology and Operations?

Understanding the full lifecycle of a subsea, oil and gas, production field development from Inception through to Decommissioning – then the SUT’s Subsea Awareness Course is geared towards YOU.

The Society for Underwater Technology (SUT) delivers a foundation level Subsea Awareness Course (SAC) that is suitable for personnel from the Operators, the Contractors and other interested organisations, for example; Legal, Finance and Engineering Houses.
This course provides underpinning knowledge for new entrants in the subsea sector of the offshore energy industry, as well as offering a refresher for experienced professionals seeking to update their knowledge.

Course Description
The course is delivered by experienced personnel from across the sector from Operators, Contractors and Technology Suppliers, many of whom are recognised Technical Authorities (TA), and address’ the complete lifecycle of a subsea asset; looking at design, installation, commissioning production operations and the ultimate decommissioning from reservoir to export.
The course offers a balance of classroom and site visits to manufacturing plants/factories, thereby providing a broad spectrum of opportunity to engage from our highly experienced and respected industry personnel, sharing their knowledge.

• This five-day course was originally developed by the Operator community to address growing skills gaps, which due to its success was transferred to the Society of Underwater Technology in the early 1990’s as the industry learned society for the subsea sector; a non-profit making organisation. Since then, the SAC has been developed and refreshed to reflect the technological developments over the period and is geared for industry personnel who wish to expand their knowledge of subsea systems within the offshore and subsea sector
• The modules are delivered by experienced personnel from Operators, Contractors and Technology System Suppliers to offer a broad perspective of the sector, many industry Technical Authorities – sharing their knowledge.
• The course is especially relevant for new entrants to the subsea sector but can also be invaluable to those transferring from other disciplines within the industry, or personnel who have worked in subsea earlier in their career and appreciate the benefit to be had from a refresher course that includes exposure to the latest technological advances from Reservoir to Export.

Tuesday 7 November 2017 – Royal Institution, London

An event exploring how ocean observations improve ocean, weather and climate prediction enabling better informed business decisions at sea, on land and in the air.

The oceans drive our weather and climate. Emerging capabilities in coupled ocean atmosphere modelling are improving our ability to predict weather and project climate change, with consequent benefits to business activity in the oceans, on the land and in the air.

By bringing together data and delivering the tools needed to increase our understanding of the connections between the ocean and weather, we can better predict when and where severe weather will strike.

Better predictions of the ocean and atmosphere mean safer and more profitable businesses and enhanced protection of the environment.

By reducing the uncertainties in projections of climate change, we can improve understanding of longer term business risks. Effective use of ocean observations and measurements is key to providing critical information to those operating in the oceans as well as for those far removed from the coast.

We warmly welcome you to join the Society for Underwater Technology and the Society for Petroleum Engineers for their second collaborative golf day, starting nice and early this year to be the industry’s Golf Season Opener.
Following the success of last year’s Golf Day, we are heading back to Maylands Peninsula Golf Course to again enjoy the stunning city-scape views, and be challenged by the course’s fresh water lakes and gentle undulations.
As ever, golfers will enjoy a great day of fun and networking on the course, along with catering, drinks, driving range practice, the opportunity at a putting competition, the chance to win tremendous prizes, not to mention the golfers gift bag.

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.
