Fundamentals of Subsea Systems

Location: Aberdeen

The origins of the subsea sector go back as far as 1940. However, until 1978, subsea systems were quite rudimentary and certainly not suited to the demands of current production systems, nor the environment. All that changed in 1978 through the introduction of what was considered at the time to be highly innovative game changing technology, which radically changed the way in which the industry thinks and operates.

Today we see projects exploiting valuable reserves in depths extending to some 3,000 metres in harsh and highly complex environments. These achievements are based on solid foundations set out some 45 years ago but in applications that were not thought possible until recently.

Modern subsea production systems are highly sophisticated and use advanced technologies, well beyond even those envisaged by anyone in the early days of subsea development. This use of advanced technologies and the mass of strategic knowledge that has been built up has accelerated the development of deepwater fields around the world, where the UK is a leading player with world class skills and knowledge, as well as products.

This short one-day course has been specially developed to provide a broad but in-depth overview of the sector, both from a UK perspective, and as a global sector and shares useful insights into the state of the art in subsea engineering & technology. It will cover aspects of how subsea fields are developed, and how subsea systems are designed, installed, operated and decommissioned.

The OGUK Industry Conference

Location: Aberdeen Exhibition & Conference Centre

The crucial role of Vision 2035 in driving the continued competitiveness of the UKCS will come under the spotlight at the OGUK Industry Conference.

With a 2019 conference theme of 'An Industry in Transition', delegates will hear industry leaders and keynote speakers reflect on the people, business processes and diversification opportunities needed to unlock growth as the sector continues to emerge from one of the toughest downturns in its history.

At the heart of the agenda is industry’s shared ambition for the future – Vision 2035 – which looks to add a generation of productive life to the UK Continental Shelf and expand supply chain opportunities at home, abroad and into other sectors.

The agenda will take on three broad areas; energy transition, business transition and people transition.

More than 500 people attended the last conference – with leading figures from industry, government, the regulators, academia and other trade associations.

In a major year for the UK offshore oil and gas industry and for the UK, the 2019 event is expected to a very big draw. Book your place – and secure an opportunity to network with industry’s biggest names!

Trondheim CCS Conference (TCCS-10)

Category: Conference
Location: Trondheim, Norway

The globally leading scientific Trondheim CCS Conference (TCCS-10) will gather 500 international carbon capture and storage (CCS) researchers, industry representatives and policy makers in Trondheim, Norway on 17-19 June 2019. TCCS-10 is hosted jointly by SINTEF and the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) and organized by the Norwegian CCS Research Centre (NCCS). Leading keynote speakers will present and discuss the latest CCS research to accelerate CCS technology. The city of Trondheim will also be host a Mission Innovation CCS workshop on 20 June 2019 and The Big Challenge Science festival featuring countless popular science lectures, cultural events and concerts.

CCS is a field dedicated to capturing, transporting and storing CO2. CCS technology prevents CO2 emissions from energy-intensive industries such as power, oil and gas, steel, and cement. CCS can provide for climate positive solutions (Bio CCS) and enable massive production of clean hydrogen from natural gas. The UN climate panel launched a report in October 2018, Global Warming of 1.5 ºC, showing that CCS is a technology that is critical to achieving the Paris Agreement.

Aviation Seminar - Planning for the Future Having Learnt from the Past

Category: Organisation Event
Location: Aberdeen Exhibition and Conference Centre, Bridge of Don, Aberdeen

The UK’s offshore oil and gas industry is an amazing success story: providing security of energy supply, supporting thousands of highly skilled jobs across the UK and contributing billions to the economy.

The sector is also supported by one of the most modern helicopter fleets in the world – and safe helicopter operations is at the heart of what we do.

As we look towards achieving Vision 2035 – the industry’s shared ambition to add a generation of productive life to the UK Continental Shelf (UKCS) – it is time to embrace the future having learnt some tough lessons from the past. What does a successful, incident-free future for offshore travel look like? How can we ensure it is as safe, effective and efficient as possible?
