As onshore and shallow-water offshore reserves continue to deplete, the need for deepwater oil and gas exploration and production has become more pressing. It is expected that most future offshore exploration efforts will focus on deep and ultra-deep waters.
For offshore, subsea, and marine engineers or managers, it is essential to have a thorough understanding of the subsea and marine sectors, including subsea systems, subsea processing, and the design of topside facilities.
This Energy training course has been specifically designed to address subsea production systems and processes, as well as the design, operation, and repair of subsea pipelines. The course will also examine the key technical challenges and risks involved in the operation and maintenance of subsea topside interfaces, such as Floating Production, Storage, and Offloading (FPSO) units and Floating Liquefied Natural Gas (FLNG) systems. Participants will gain valuable knowledge that will help them advance their projects.
