Subsea Pipeline Engineering Course

ABOUT THE COURSE

Subsea pipelines are the arteries of the offshore industry. Around the world more than 18,000km are in service. Part of almost every project, they often form a large component of project cost. This course will provide a complete and up-to-date overview of the area of Subsea Pipeline Engineering, taking delegates through the pre-design phase, design, construction, installation, operation and maintenance.

COURSE CONTENT

This training course will give you a complete picture of the work of

design engineers and pipeline construction companies, using actual case studies from around the world to highlight the topics discussed. While the course requires no previous experience, this is not a superficial overview. The lecturers bring to the course a long experience of industry projects, in many parts of the world and under varied conditions. The technology is far from being static, and the trainers will discuss new developments and ideas for the future.

Participants receive a sturdy ring binder containing more than 700 pages of text and illustrations supporting the lectures and providing an invaluable reference source after the course. In addition, each participant will receive a copy of the newly published 650pp. reference book Subsea Pipeline Engineering by Andrew Palmer and Roger King, worth over US$ 170 per copy.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND

Engineers from oil & gas companies, construction companies, pipe and service suppliers and regulatory authorities, who are newly qualified, have recently moved into pipeline engineering or hold broad responsibilities that include pipelines.

THE COURSE FACILITATORS

Dr. Andrew Palmer has been engaged with pipelines since 1970. His background is in civil engineering and applied mechanics. He was initially at Cambridge University, then at R.J. Brown and Associates, then founder and director of Andrew Palmer and Associates, a company of consulting engineers involved in pipeline projects in every continent, latter as Research Professor of Petroleum at Cambridge University, as a Visiting Professor at Harvard University, and now as Keppel Chair Professor in the Centre for Offshore Research and Engineering at the National University of Singapore. He has written three books and more than 180 research papers. He has an extensive consulting practice, and is in demand as an expert witness.

Dr. Roger King has been engaged with pipelines since 1969. He is a chemical engineer and now specialises in oilfield corrosion, cathodic protection and materials selection and retains particular expertise in microbiological corrosion. He was a founder of CAPCIS (Corrosion and Protection Industrial Services), a consulting and research centre within the University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology. He too has an extensive consulting and expert witness practice.
