Why will this course benefit you?

For all offshore industries, the effects of meteorology and oceanography (metocean) have a major impact on design and operations. If users of metocean information are not aware of the implications that the weather, waves, currents and water levels can have on their operations or design work, then things can go wrong with serious health and safety and economic consequences.
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. The course format will include a mixture of short presentations presented by expert speakers in  this field. Delegates will receive a comprehensive course manual on attendance.

Who should attend?

This course is essential for Project Managers and Engineers in the offshore oil and gas and renewables industries, involved in operations or design, from new entrants to the industry to those with many years experience. The course will enable delegates to interact with expert speakers and other delegates from various backgrounds who use or provide metocean data.

This 3-day course is directed to geoscientists, engineers, and managers who work, contract, plan and regulate marine site surveys and geotechnical programs for exploration and field development.

The course covers survey planning, acquisition, interpretation, and integration of data, to reduce the state of risk, culminating with an in-depth presentation of several integrated case studies.

This 4-day course has been designed to be suitable for engineers and others new to the offshore industry, those transferring from other disciplines within the industry and engineers who have worked in subsea previously but would benefit from a refresher course and exposure to the latest technology. The modules are presented by key supply and service companies in the subsea sector and will be hosted on their premises.

While 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 learned. 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.

This course is for anyone wanting to gain a high-level understanding of flow assurance, from field development planning, to detailed design, start-up and operations.

The objective of the course is to:

• Provide overview of flow assurance and the fundamentals of flow management for subsea systems
• Provide an understanding of the principles of flow assurance and multiphase flow, as well as the prevention, mitigation and remediation of flow assurance issues that may arise during operations
