Subsea production is not a new concept; however, advances in subsea technologies continue to enhance the economic development of offshore exploration discoveries in all water depths. Crucial to the economic success of such developments is the need to understand the consequences of one’s actions. This one-day course is aimed at creating an awareness of the applications of subsea equipment and plant, how subsea equipment is operated, the vulnerabilities to which it is susceptible, the requirements to continuously inspect, maintain and repair and the consequences of equipment downtime and lost production.

Please click here for flyer or contact Jennifer Maninin for further information.

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 refresher course and exposure to the latest technology.

Paper Submission:
To ensure the academic quality of the meeting, and attract more high-level academic, we call for papers from the global world. All papers should be no more than 10 pages in length and must be written in strict accordance with the format (see the information on the website). Please submit your papers by email attachments to [email protected].
The excellent papers will be recommend to a SCI indexed journal : Special Issue of《Advances in Mechanical Engineering》.

Notice: If you have no time to write a full paper, an oral presentation is also welcome. In this case, please send us the title and the abstract of your presentation in accordance with the format in our web:  www.sutchina.org

Mini Symposium:
Those who are interested in organizing a mini symposium (MS) with papers in the areas of their expertise are invited to organize a mini symposium at the SUTTC2015. A mini symposium may have a single session or multiple sessions with 6-8 papers each. In case of successful organization, the mini symposium organizer’s paper will be considered as an invited paper and he/she will be granted free registration.

The Inaugural International Institute of Obsolescence Management (IIOM) Conference & Exhibition is being held in Edinburgh, Scotland on 16th to 18th June 2015.

IIOM intends to carry on the great work that COG has accomplished in the past 17 years and enhance it by creating a professional body for those involved, or interested in, Obsolescence Management.

The Institute will be for professionals who are dedicated to furthering their knowledge and understanding of Obsolescence Management.

This conference is the first to showcase the IIOM and to position the institute as THE organisation to represent Obsolescence Management practitioners worldwide.

Much of the Obsolescence Management activity up to now has concentrated on analysing and mitigating the risk to electronic parts. This has been the main focus, quite rightly, as there is a clear risk from these types of parts. Today, however, many organisations are now managing multiple types of parts, electronic and non-electronic. Software, materials, tools, processes and skills amongst others, are all areas where pro-active Obsolescence Management is a key activity.

The Key Note speech on Wednesday 17 June will be given by David Saul, BP Global Subsea.
