Description
Subsea engineering is a branch of engineering that involves the design, installation, operation, and maintenance of underwater structures, systems, and equipment. Subsea engineering is used in various industries such as oil and gas, telecommunications, marine research, and renewable energy.
In the oil and gas industry, subsea engineering is used to design and construct subsea production systems, including subsea wells, pipelines, manifolds, risers, and control systems. These systems are installed on the seabed to extract oil and gas from offshore reservoirs. Subsea engineers are responsible for designing and installing the subsea equipment and systems, as well as ensuring their safe and efficient operation.
Subsea engineering also plays a crucial role in the telecommunications industry, where it is used to design and install underwater communication cables. These cables provide high-speed internet and telecommunications connectivity to remote areas.
Subsea engineering is also used in marine research to design and operate subsea vehicles, such as remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) and autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs), which are used to explore and map the ocean floor.
Renewable energy is another area where subsea engineering is becoming increasingly important. Subsea systems are used in offshore wind farms to anchor the wind turbines to the seabed and to transport electricity from the turbines to the shore.
Subsea engineering requires a combination of technical knowledge, problem-solving skills, and creativity. Subsea engineers typically have backgrounds in mechanical, civil, or marine engineering, and they may specialize in areas such as structural design, pipeline design, or control systems. Subsea engineering involves working in challenging environments, often in harsh weather conditions, and requires a strong commitment to safety and environmental protection.
SEMBC Level 1 & Level 2 course explores all the major aspects of processes, technologies and systems involved in subsea oil and gas production, examining the building blocks of subsea engineering, including the key components, Field Development, Wellheads, Xmas Trees and Manifolds, Pipelines, Flowlines and Risers, Subsea Control Systems, Umbilicals and Equipments, Reliability, Maintenance and New Technologies along with real time case studies. It also covers in details ROV Intervention, Interface Requirement & Tooling Mechanisms along with pre-commissioning, commissioning, hook ups & decommissioning of FPSO’s & Offshore Structures.
