Session 21: SUBSEA INTEGRITY & SUBSEA ENGINEERING
Subsea Engineering plays a vital role in offshore oil & gas exploration, drilling and production. It is one of the most difficult and complicated aspects of the offshore oil & gas industry. Particularly the deepwater operations with high temperature, high pressure and corrosion present the unique challenges for the offshore Risers, umbilicals and subsea structures.
As engineers, managers and technicians, we have a moral duty to ensure that appropriate integrity management systems are setup and implemented on our subsea facilities. Further, the employment of such systems should be seen as an integral theme that underpins effective business operations, and these should result in minimal unplanned equipment downtime; the provision of safe operations; and, the preservation of the environments in which we work. All of these outcomes are recognised by stakeholders as being essential expectations when striving to achieve sustainable corporate value.
However, implementing an effective system is no mean feat, and reliance is placed on the involvement of a diverse range of discipline expertise, from materials and corrosion engineering, through to reliable control systems design and maintenance. Add to this the extensive range of lifecycle related issues that need to commence long before commissioning of a new facility, and be sustained through to completion of decommissioning. It follows that proper subsea integrity management should be a prominent theme that runs throughout the full asset lifecycle.
Pulling the different disciplines together into an effective system and applying it to the various phases of an asset's lifecycle, demands that effective policies, strategies and procedures exist, and that the right competences and technologies are deployed at the right time, in the right place. This requires that an organisation possesses a comprehensive understanding of the risks associated with subsea facilities, and the knowhow required to mitigate said risks.
This session will explore the wide range of issues concerning the integrity management of subsea infrastructure. The key note address will introduce the importance of effective corrosion management to subsea production activities, and a further presentation will be provided on the range of issues impacting the effective integrity management of ageing subsea facilities. This will be followed by an invitation for open discussion with session participants.
