Houston – Subsea Awareness Course

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.

Houston – Flow Assurance Course

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

Perth – Autonomous Underwater Technology Conference (AUT 2017)

The AHS/SUT Autonomous Underwater Technology (AUT) Conference is celebrating its tenth occurrence. The conference has brought to the industry, actionable, usable information on the advances in AUT technology and applications along with gaining an insight to where the technology is developing. Technological advancements have translated to increases in AUT utilisation, reliability and the function across the oil and gas, renewable energy, environmental, research and defence industries, to name a few.

After 9 prior events, this conference continues to be one of the most important networking, gold standard opportunities in this field, allowing contact between pipeline engineers, subsea asset managers, geophysicists, environmental scientists, hydrographic surveyors, defence organisations, oil & gas field development specialists, government bodies, equipment manufacturers, academic & research bodies, oceanographers, survey companies and port & security operators.
