Published by , Editor
World dzԹ,


The contribution of the monitoring of offshore structures to reduce risk and improve reliability is key to achieving operational efficiencies in the offshore oil and gas industry and is a new topic to come under the conference spotlight at Oceanology International 2016 (OI 2016), the worlddzԹs largest marine science and ocean technology exhibition and conference.

A half-day session on Wednesday 16 March will look at dzԹMonitoring Structural Integrity: Understanding Risk and ReliabilitydzԹ through the eyes of its co-chairmen, Tom Johnson, President, BMT Scientific Marine Services and Feargal Brennan, Director of Energy, Cranfield University and six experts in the field.

Comments

dzԹThose attending the session will learn how regulators, certification authorities and industry practitioners use measurements and monitored information to conduct quantitative assessments of risk and reliability across a range of offshore engineering functions,dzԹ explain Tom Johnson and Feargal Brennan.

dzԹPresentations will address uncertainty and fitness-for-service approaches for non-standard operations and the session discussions will explore how novel technologies can be further developed to better support structural integrity offshore.dzԹ

dzԹPresentations in this highly relevant session will be mirrored by some of the exhibits on a packed exhibition show floor,dzԹ explains Event Director, Jonathan Heastie of Reed Exhibitions. dzԹNaturally at this challenging time for the offshore industry operational efficiency is vital, and we are delighted to host such an important session.

Down to detail

Taking place on the morning of Wednesday 16 March, Alex Stacy, Structural Inspector, Energy Division, Health & Safety Executive will be addressing dzԹManagement of risk and reliability in structural integrity during the life cycle of offshore installations by the implementation of structural monitoring techniquesdzԹ. His presentation will be followed by dzԹDesign of a monitoring system for determining wellhead fatigue utilisationdzԹ by Prahlad Enuganti, Technical manager, 2H Offshore; and dzԹJackup motions monitoring for safety and operational efficiencydzԹ.

Following a short break for networking, Sandip Ukani, Engineer Director, Pulse Structural Monitoring Ltd will be talking about dzԹROV deployable curvature sensor for pipeline span monitoringdzԹ; his presentation will be followed by Robert J Barker or BMT Scientific Marine Services who will be considering dzԹMarine and structural integrity monitoring for the Glen Lyon FPSOdzԹ. The final speaker in the session will be Neptune GeomaticsdzԹ Project Manager, Gwilym Conran, looking at dzԹNepCAT 3D catenary monitoring systemdzԹ.
