ABOUT THE PROGRAM
This program aims to give participants an overview of all the key processes, technologies and equipment that comprises of contemporary subsea production developments. It focuses on how subsea hardware, pipelines, riser systems, and other equipment relate to design philosophies and how to establish a basis for subsea production system design. It also provides details of project activities, from the drilling of the well to bringing the system into production.
The following topics will be covered:
- Introduction to Subsea System Engineering
- Field Architecture
- Drilling
- Production Equipment
- Control Systems
- System Configuration
- Floating Production Systems (FPS)
- Flowlines and Pipelines & Risers
- Flow Assurance
- Subsea Processing Rationale for Development (topsides savings,
reduction of flow assurance problems, enhanced recovery) - Consolidation Exercise
- Inspection, Monitoring, and Intervention
- Case Studies
- New Technology in the Drilling and FPSO Area
- New Technology in Production Systems
TARGET AUDIENCE
- Project managers who want to know more about the technology they are directing
- Project engineers who specialise in a specific area, but need to know about how other technologies interface with their own
- Engineers from other disciplines who are moving into the subsea area
- Newly qualified engineers entering the offshore industry
ABOUT THE SPEAKERS
Dr. Bil Loth was the Past President of IMarEST, and is currently President of the SUT. Since 1986 he has run WD Loth and Co. Ltd which provides subsea engineering expertise on world-class development projects all and developed a number of specialized technologies for deepwater application. He now lectures at several universities, presents public short courses in the USA and Europe as well as specialized training for manufacturers. Bil’s entire professional career has been in offshore engineering. He joined the fledging subsea group at Esso Production Research Company upon graduation. In the first ten years, he held various positions in the production department of Exxon during which time he was a member of the task force which designed and installed the first multiwall template based subsea production system. He was then seconded to Shell Expro in the UK and for the next ten years held various positions in the execution and planning of underwater developments.
Dr. Loh Wai Lam is currently an Associate Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering of National University of Singapore (NUS) where he coordinates the Offshore Oil & Gas Technology Specialisation. He is also the Programme Manager (Subsea Systems and Transportation) for the Centre of Offshore Research & Engineering (CORE). Before joining NUS, A/Prof Loh has worked for 16 years in the UK for several Oil & Gas and related companies, in the capacities of Senior Project Engineer, Project Manager, Consultant and Head of R&D. During this time he has led and managed numerous multi-disciplinary consortium R&D projects for the Oil & Gas Industry relating to Oil & Gas production, processing and transportation, etc. He is a Chartered Engineer and a Member of the Society of Petroleum Engineers. He has also successfully invented, patented and developed numerous novel devices and systems for the Oil & Gas Industry. Through his innovative work, A/Prof Loh has received several prestigious international awards including The Royal Society Esso Energy Award and Gold Medal in 1998 and the Special Meritorious Award for Engineering Innovation from Hart’s Petroleum International, USA, in 1999. A/Prof Loh graduated from University of Manchester in UK, where he did his BEng, MSc and PhD. His research areas are Subsea Processing, Multiphase jet pump and ejectors, Multiphase pumping, Multiphase flow metering and Multiphase oil/water/gas separation.
