Online Subsea Structures Training Course

ABOUT THE COURSE

The course focuses on subsea systems from design and installa- tion through to operation. This course explains how the whole sys- tem works in conjunction. The course gives detailed idea about design, analysis, construction and installation aspects of subsea manifolds, SSIV structures, wellhead protection structures, inte- grated drilling/manifold templates, riser bases and flexible riser system ancillary equipment. The design part also includes the strength evaluation of suction piles which supports the subsea structures. The course gives in-depth, technical aspects detailing the engineering behind Flow line installations, Riser, umbilical and its substructures spool installations. The course content gives a brief description about the subsea installation process, different methods of installation, and the different types of subsea installation vessels.

ABOUT THE LECTURERS

Mr. Duncan Warwick

Gained a BSc in Naval Architecture & Ocean Engineering from the University of Glasgow in 1985. After a 5-year period of research and lecturing in Ship and Ocean Structures also at the University of Glasgow he has gained 23 years’ experience in the field of offshore subsea structural engineering. His experience includes the design, analysis, construction and installation aspects of subsea manifolds, SSIV structures, well- head protection structures, integrated drilling/manifold templates, riser bases and flexible riser system ancillary equipment. He also has expe- rience in the design and installation of deepwater structures such as in-line PLETS and PLEMs and suction pile founded deepwater manifolds. This experience has been gained with turnkey subsea engineering contractors including McDermott’s, Rockwater and Technip. From 1999 to 2006 he was Team Leader of the Subsea Structures and Equipment Engineering Team within Technips’ Offshore Engineering Division which supported the Technip Group worldwide in the design and analysis of subsea structures and pipelay equipment engineering. Since 2006 he has been Team Leader of the Subsea Structures Design Team within Genesis where he has specialised in the design of subsea structures from concept through to detailed design.
