Post Event Report
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:
Stored Electrical Power and Potential to Change Subsea System Power Distribution
Abdul Fahad Mueed, Curtin University
Quantitative Discharge Water Analysis Using Mobile 1H NMR
Lisabeth Wagner, The University of Western Australia
Steel Lazywave Riser for Turret vs. Spread-moored FPSO in Extreme and Wave-induced Fatigue Conditions
David Szczepanski, Edith Cowan University
New Paradigms in Understanding the Behaviour of Cables and Pipelines on Rocky Seabeds
Terry Griffiths, The University of Western Australia
Contact Marketa Mesman for further information.

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.
** Early Bird rates available if registration before 20th February **

Long Gas Tiebacks – Pseudo Dry Gas Systems
Lee Thomas INTECSEA (click here for presentation)
Over recent years there have been an increasing number of significant offshore gas field discoveries in deep water but located far from existing offshore facilities or suitable landfall basins round the world. In many cases there are significant technical challenges to make these developments economically viable without a step change in technology. The lecture will present an overview of innovative new technology that demonstrates 200km plus tie-back without the need of compression can be achieved.
The Impact of Composites on Future Deepwater Riser Configurations
Tom Brown, Senior Engineer 2H Offshore (click here for presentation)
In recent years the industry has begun to investigate the use of thermoplastic composite pipe for offshore applications, however, the technology is still in its infancy. Low risk applications of the technology, such as flowlines and intervention lines, have already been realised, however, more demanding applications are still a while off. The lecture will present an assessment of the potential application of thermoplastic composite pipe in a deepwater riser application, focusing on the advantages these bring when compared to conventional steel or flexible risers.
Introduction to Subsea Infrastructure.
Jerry Baker, Baker Marine Technology Ltd.
Many in the North of England Branch have extensive knowledge of their own product or service, but do not have a clear picture of where that fits into the overall scope of subsea production. The presentation describes typical subsea infrastructure and its function, and explains why it is the way it is, by looking briefly at its history. It then looks at the range of operational support and intervention required on subsea infrastructure at different stages in the lifecycle. It is intended as the first in an occasional series providing an overview of subsea engineering and operations.
SENTIO – Synthetic Environment and Virtualisation Platform
Mahesh Menon, Digital Services Manager, Soil Machine Dynamics.
SMD will present their advanced operations visualisation and planning tool. Sentio is a true physics-based platform that enables you to create physical offshore operations in a virtual space. Once created, the platform enables you to improve your environment’s operational safety, identify and mitigate risks and in turn, significantly lower your costs. The environment can be tailor-made to meet your specific requirements at any stage of the operational life cycle, from engineering assessment and training, to mission validation and de-commissioning. This ability eliminates the need for high-cost physical testing and resources. SMD will present recent case-studies of how pre-emptive engineering has been an integral and highly beneficial part of a subsea project.
Newcastle University (Armstrong Building, Room ARMB1.49, Newcastle upon Tyne, NE1 7RU)

The marine environment presents a complex challenge for agencies dealing with the risk of Unexploded Ordnance (UXO) and developing risk mitigation strategies, tasks which are exacerbated by poor record keeping of historical data and the immense amount of airborne or naval ordnance that has either been deployed during times of conflict or dumped at sea. If the ordnance did not function as intended, then it is described as UXO and even after many years,may still explode on physical contact and certainly represents a challenge to organizations that carry out subsea operations in the marine environment.
Presention given by Richard Battrick FSEE FIExpE CEng
Richard is a Fellow of the Society for Environmental Engineers (FSEE), a Fellow of the Institute of Explosive Engineers (FIExpE) and a Chartered Engineer (CEng). He initiated the CIRIA C-754 UK industry guide for dealing with UXO in the marine environment, is a former Royal Navy Bomb Disposal Commanding Officer and is the technical lead for the IMAS 09.60 underwater EO expert focus group.
