Survey and Geotechnics in Offshore Engineering Short Course

Organised by the Offshore Site Investigation and Geotechnics Committee & North of England Branch of the Society for Underwater Technology


The SUT is pleased to announce this short course based on ones ran successfully elsewhere, but this will be the first such event in the North of England. There are a range of well-known speakers, including many experts in their particular field.


The lectures will cover all aspects of offshore geology and geotechnical engineering, from initial survey through design to construction in both the oil and gas, and the renewable energy industries.

Offshore and Subsea Operations Awareness Course

Time 09.00-17.00
Price Non-Members £395; Members £340

Even by 2020, it is estimated that 70% of primary energy consumed in the UK will still come from oil and gas, much of which will come from offshore locations.  With increasing water depths comes the need for advanced technical solutions to enhance safety whilst containing ever rising costs.
This is an intensive one-day course designed to acquaint people with the important aspects of offshore oil and gas and subsea operations.

  • Characteristics of oil and gas, rock and the reservoir
    World oil and gas reserves
  • Exploration, surveys and drilling rights
    Seismic surveys
    Licencing applications
  • Types of drilling vessel
    Jack up rigs
    Drill ships
    Semi-submersible vessels
  • Drilling a well: exploration drilling, development drilling and completion
    Procedures
    Equipment
    Testing
  • Subsea production and workover
    Christmas trees and manifolds
    Flowlines
    Risers
    Control umbilicals
    Subsea processing
    Diver and ROV operations
    Workover
    Legislation
  • Oil and gas transportation
    Pipelines
    Tanker Mooring Buoy
    FPSO
    Pipeline Management

Who should attend?
This course is suitable for all professionals working in non-technical roles that are associated with the offshore oil and gas, underwater technology and subsea engineering sectors

Egypt – Subsea Awareness Course

This five‐day Course has been designed to be suitable for contractors, engineers, operators and those new to the offshore industry, those transferring from other disciplines within the industry and those who have worked in subsea previously but would benefit from a efresher 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 sofware models and products designed for subsea service.

Harvard University – From Sea to Changing Sea: A Science Symposium about Oceans

This symposium will focus on important new research on the changing nature of the world’s oceans and the questions that arise from that change.

The program will begin with a study of new data about the formation of oceans and the origins of early life. Speakers will then examine how oceans have transformed over climate epochs as water temperatures have fluctuated and ice sheets have formed and melted. Leading scientists and policymakers will also consider how human behavior is affecting the seas, and they will explore the impact of these shifts on marine life, islands, coastal areas, and climate change overall. The symposium will conclude by asking what role the scientific community and others can play in understanding and stewarding this critical global resource.

Free and open to the public – live stream available on the day.

Please register and join us at the Knafel Center.
