Description
The Engineering of Subsea Production Systems (ESPSP) Programme is a comprehensive course that covers the design, operation, and maintenance of subsea oil and gas production systems. The program is divided into three levels, each focusing on different aspects of subsea production systems.
Level 1 provides an introduction to subsea production systems, including their historical development, key components, and their functions. It covers topics such as subsea field development, subsea equipment and components, subsea control and monitoring, and flow assurance challenges.
Level 2 focuses on advanced topics such as subsea system integration, well intervention and maintenance, reliability and integrity management, and project management principles specific to subsea production systems.
Level 3 delves into more specialized areas, including subsea tieback systems, advanced production control strategies, subsea asset life extension, and emerging technologies in subsea production.
Throughout the program, students will learn about subsea equipment, control systems, flow assurance techniques, and the integration of subsea systems with topside facilities. They will also gain knowledge in risk management, inspection, maintenance, and the use of advanced technologies for subsea operations.
