COURSE OVERVIEW

 This practical and highly-interactive course includes real-life case studies where participants will be engaged in a series of interactive small groups and class workshops. 

 Today, offshore activities take place in the waters of more than half the nations on earth. Offshore operators drill wells from modern steel or concrete structures, that in many cases, movable. Further, offshore rigs have drilled in waters over 7,500 feet (over 2,200 meters) deep and as far as 200 miles (over 300 kilometers) from shore. 

 Offshore drilling and production have progressed far beyond any earlier expectations. Offshore work today involves a wide range of technologies. These technologies are similar in many cases to those used to find, produce, and transport oil and gas on land. 

 Offshore activities include, however, additional traditional technologies that relate to a marine environment. Unlike oil operations on land, offshore operation involves marine operations, meteorology, naval architecture, mooring and anchoring techniques, and buoyancy, stability, and trim.  

Marine Operations is the blood of the Offshore Oil and Gas Industry. Proper planning, controlling and management of the marine operations lead to a smooth offshore Oil & Gas operations and contrary is correct. This course is designed to provide participants with understanding of safe and effective marine operations in the support of offshore operations. It will cover the use of vessels in the lifecycle of an offshore development; the importance and type of vessels to different operational stages in the life of the offshore field; the types of offshore installation and stages of operation; the anchor handling procedures; the supply and resupply; and the differences between shallow and deep-water operations. 

 

During this interactive course, participants will learn the process of chartering and brokering vessels; the market and commercial aspects, Marine legislations, Health/Safety/Environment (HSE) and its applications to the marine operations; the management of the marine operations during mobilization, operations and post-mobilizations; the details of the relevant use of marine vessels during the life of an offshore field which includes mobilization issues, operation of the relevant vessels; the nature of equipment used, not only operational equipment but essential vessel equipment fit; the marine support to exploration and survey; the well intervention and the subsea operations; the offshore construction and pipelaying; the ROV and AUV operations; the production and maintenance of the offshore fields which include survey and diving operations.
