Investigative authorities queried mechanical systems\, operating decisions\, corporate cultures\, safety procedures\, and testimony by survivors\, academics\, experts\, and executives. Meanwhile\, industry personnel need succinct\, non-litigious\, technical answers to fundamental questions about the cause of the blowout for application to future projects. Such answers define the specific mechanics\, actions\, and decisions on the rig that collectively opened a pathway into a cased-and-cemented deep-water wellbore and allowed hydrocarbons to flow unobserved from a high-pressure reservoir to eventually erupt over the derrick and continue even after the blowout preventers were closed. \nTo unravel the cause of the blowout\, data during the well’s final hours are assessed and defined using petroleum-engineering fundamentals\, including wellbore mechanics\, hydrodynamics\, inflow performance\, fluid properties\, well-control principles\, etc. The chain of events thus revealed includes forming an annulus-to-wellbore leak\, exacerbating the leak\, testing and declaring the well secure\, causing the well to flow\, and allowing the well to flow until too late\, even for the blowout preventers. The technical assessment leads to conclusions that define those factors that contributed to the blowout\, as well as to those that caused the blowout. \nFrom the presentation\, SPE members and a wider audience from across the industry and beyond will see by example the necessity and importance of applying petroleum-engineering and process-management fundamentals to day-to-day drilling work\, in real time\, both in the office and on the rig. From the Macondo assessment\, a process-interruption protocol is defined\, which can be applied to wells around the world\, whether deep or shallow\, onshore or offshore. \nPresenter: John Turley \nJ. A (John) Turley taught petroleum engineering at Marietta College before joining Marathon Oil Company\, where he served as Gulf Coast drilling manager\, U.K. operations manager\, manager worldwide drilling\, and vice president engineering and technology. He holds a professional degree in petroleum engineering from Colorado School of Mines\, an MS in ocean engineering from University of Miami\, and an executive management degree from Harvard University. Post-retirement\, he independently researched the 2010 Macondo blowout and published “THE SIMPLE TRUTH“—a facts-based tome in which he examines the engineering causes of the Macondo blowout aboard the Deepwater Horizon.  His first SPE paper (6022)\, “A Risk Analysis of Transition Zone Drilling\,” was published in 1976.  In 2014\, he published SPE-167970-MS\, “An Engineering Look at the Cause of the 2010 Macondo Blowout.”  Turley\, a member of SPE’s Legion of Honor\, has served SPE in academic and conference capacities\, but most enjoyed chairing SPE’s education and accreditation committee.

DESCRIPTION:Analytical approaches have been successfully used for decades to analyse different geomechanical related problems in the oil and gas industry. These approaches are still applicable for most of those problems. However\, they may not be suitable for complex environments that the industry is dealing with nowadays. The challenges to develop complex fields urge the industry to have a better understanding and prediction of the behaviour of the reservoir rocks and its overburden layers in a more accurate manner. This can be partially achieved by conducting a more comprehensive type of analysis by means of numerical methods in a wider scale of space and time. We refer to this as 4D geomechanical modelling. \nThe concept of 4D geomechanical modelling is relatively new in the industry\, and there is limited knowledge regarding the applications and advantages of this type of modelling within disciplines other than geomechanics. In this presentation\, a summary of the applications of 4D geomechanical modelling and their advantages over the conventional analytical approaches will be presented. Moreover\, the techniques and procedures to build and interpret a 4D geomechanical model will be discussed using real case studies.” \n  \nBiography of Speaker: Dr. Ahmadreza Younessi Sinaki \n“Ahmadreza received his PhD in Petroleum Engineering from Curtin University in 2012. After completing his MSc in Rock Mechanics Engineering in 2006 from Amirkabir University of Technology\, he started his career as a Geomechanics Engineer in Schlumberger’s Data and Consulting Services. He was involved with several consulting projects in Iran\, India and Malaysia till 2009. He was also trained as a Wireline Field Engineer during his career in Schlumberger. He started his PhD in 2009 focusing on sand production mechanism under true-triaxial stress conditions. During his PhD he was involved with several consultant Geomechanics projects in Australia conducted from Curtin Petroleum Geomechanics Group (CPGG). Ahmadreza joined Baker Hughes Geomechanics team in 2012. Since then he has been both a participant and leader in numerous projects including 1D and 3D geomechanical modeling\, wellbore stability analysis\, sand production prediction\, compaction and subsidence analysis\, 4D geomechanical modeling and fault reactivation analysis.” URL:https://www.spe-wa.org/event/april-spe-wa-lecture-when-where-and-how-a-field-scale-4d-geomechanical-model-should-be-built/ LOCATION:BGC Centre Conference Room\, 28 The Esplanade\, Perth\, WA\, 6000\, Australia ORGANIZER;CN="Abbas Khaksar":MAILTO:WAContinuingEducation@apemail.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Asia/Shanghai:20160419T160000 DTEND;TZID=Asia/Shanghai:20160419T180000 DTSTAMP:20160404T014059Z CREATED:20160404T014059Z LAST-MODIFIED:20160404T014059Z UID:2583-1461081600-1461088800@www.spe-wa.org SUMMARY:Facilities Group Technical Evening - Optimising Pipeline Inspection Frequency With a Simple Probabilistic Method DESCRIPTION:Optimising Pipeline Inspection Frequency With a Simple Probabilistic Method by Rex Hubbard from Atteris. \nThe integration of historical flow assurance assessments and corrosion engineering enabled an ageing flowline’s past corrosion condition to be estimated\, however the resulting deterministic estimate of pit depths would have required a near-term inline inspection campaign. A simplified probabilistic estimate of historical and future corrosion pitting depths provided an improved understanding of the likelihood of failure and allowed an optimised inline inspection frequency. \nAbout Our Presenter \n \nRex Hubbard is a chemical engineer with 25 years engineering experience principally in process engineering\, flow assurance\, subsea systems design and subsea project management.  Since 2014 Rex has been a Business Stream Leader with Atteris Pty Ltd\, a subsea and pipeline engineering consultancy. In this role he has\, amongst other things\, managed a number of concept studies\, pipeline repair plan revisions\, the development of unconventional pipeline repair methods and performed integrated flow assurance & internal corrosion assessments of late-life subsea assets. Rex is currently a Committee Member of the SUT’s Perth Branch. \nThanks to Our Venue Sponsor: URL:https://www.spe-wa.org/event/facilities-group-technical-evening-optimising-pipeline-inspection-frequency-with-a-simple-probabilistic-method/ LOCATION:Mia Yellagonga (Woodside)\, 11 Mount St\, Perth\, Western Australia\, 6000\, Australia CATEGORIES:Facilities Group ORGANIZER;CN="Julie Morgan":MAILTO:JULIE.MORGAN1@woodside.com.au END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Asia/Shanghai:20160414T173000 DTEND;TZID=Asia/Shanghai:20160414T200000 DTSTAMP:20160412T051524Z CREATED:20160330T113947Z LAST-MODIFIED:20160412T051524Z UID:3087-1460655000-1460664000@www.spe-wa.org SUMMARY:Young Professionals Trivia Night DESCRIPTION:The annual SPE YP Trivia Night is back!! \nCome on down to the Universal Bar on Thursday\, 14th April after work and join in on the quest for the knowledge king/queen of Perth’s petroleum industry! \nDrinks and snacks will be provided (included in the ticket price). \nTickets sold out quickly last year\, so get your tickets early to avoid missing out! \nTo secure your place: \n\nBuild your team of 6 or 7 people\,\nBuy your tickets\,\nEmail your team to simon.cloete@woodside.com.au.\n\nSo get in quick\, grab some friends and buy some tickets!

As optimisation is achieved at each level\, it almost always delivers less than a global-optimised solution. On the other hand\, as an orchestrated solution\, a fully integrated set of models from reservoir to economics aims providing operational and maintenance guidelines that are within the systems operating envelope (subsurface\, gathering system and facility) and commercial constraints. \nThis solution is a single platform that can connect various models and inputs from other systems (e.g. equipment downtime due to maintenance or well test activities). Real-time data is processed and coupled with analytics to calibrate the models during stable production. Conversely\, the models are used to re-train the analytics data as it encounters new operating conditions (e.g. water break-through\, coning). This cross-calibration approach eliminates the need to calibrate the individual models. \nThis approach provides the following benefits:- \n\nEnables Engineering and Commercial Teams to focus on engineering and business decisions instead of building and calibrating models.\nReduces forecast uncertainties by eliminating errors introduced through manual handling of data.\nEnables reservoir-to-economics optimisation while honouring reservoir\, production\, facility and economic constraints.\nImproves collaboration across disciplines.\n\nWhile the integrated model approach offers good drivers to implement\, there are some challenges to implementing this approach. First\, integrated models require a multi-disciplinary team. Although it seems easy to have such a team\, organisational structures present natural barriers to implement. Further\, there are a lot of modelling tools available in the market\, the choice of which is driven by several factors (best-of-breed\, commercial incentives\, familiarity\, JVs selection)\, which changes over time. This makes it difficult to integrate the models. On the positive side\, most vendors provides an Application Programming Interface (API) that enables third-party applications to control their models. \nHaving various models for different objectives is quite challenging. Often\, organisation would have models for allocation different to the ones used for forecasting. However\, enforcing a single model can introduce runtime issues when using the model for a different purpose. Needless to mention\, that while it is possible to use a single set of models\, it requires experience and technical expertise to qualify which components are material to the modelling objectives. \nPresenter: Arman Vahedi\, PetroAus Pty Ltd. \n \nArman has more than 15 years experience as a petroleum engineer. His experience in Digital Oil field implementation\, production engineering and Integrated Asset Modelling sees him providing support for many major gas development projects in Australia and internationally.

WWD is becoming more important operational component for many logic reasons: continuous upset-free performance of Plants\, expensive surface treatment\, excessive produced volumes\, etc. Generally speaking\, the disposal system starts at the plants sewage outlets\, then settling/skimming tanks\, booster pumps\, injection pipelines\, injection pumps\, flowlines to disposal wells and finally monitoring wells. In most cases\, all WWD system wells are defined as critical wells according to Well Reliability and Optimization Matrix and regulatory compliance. Malfunction of any of these facilities may lead to loss of profit (LPO) in terms of trains’ shutdown. \nWater quality and surveillance results are subjected to Compliance agreements and should have regulatory Agencies approval\, which necessitates coordination with other departments owning data and those delivering it to external Agencies. Monitoring volumes injected\, discharge pressure\, water quality and monitoring wells performance are a third Party responsibility that needs full supervision of the Operator to guarantee reliable data is delivered. Third laboratory\, more sampling points with higher frequent sampling and splitting are of great value to secure reliable information. \nInterface between WWD responsible Team and future projects is a key for successful planning in terms of defining water quality\, needed pumping capacity\, how many disposal and monitoring wells\, where to drill and by when. \nLessons Learned: \n\nMultidisciplinary approach raises the level of WWD business awareness\nInjected waste water must be of good quality.\nBackwash procedures help to restore injectivity of the disposal wells\nFrequent surveillance on the monitoring and disposal wells\nEnsure good quality laboratory analyses of water samples.\n\nSameh Macary\, Ph.

Disruption in Field Development – From a Nice to Have to a Have to Have. Some Case Histories of How We Engineered It. DESCRIPTION:Disruption in Field Development – From a nice to have to a have to have.  Some case histories of how we engineered it.  By Rodney Silberstein\,  from ARV Offshore. \nChallenges to field development economics are not new to oil & gas developments. Even in high price markets\, ensuring profits in low production outcome scenarios requires innovative approaches and most commonly we do things differently only when we have to. The fear is that doing things differently will turn out to cost more\, not less\, and usually we hear only about the problems. \nSuccess stories of a number of developments are presented\, in which step change to cost has been achieved and was not derailed by an over-looked detail. In many cases\, some enabling breakthrough technology has been developed\, made possible by a supportive working and contractual environment. These technologies include pipeline stabilisation\, platform installation\, mooring systems and\, above all\, include a great understanding of the life cycle of design through construction to operation and decommissioning. \n \nAbout Rodney Silberstein\, he is an engineer with a 30+ years career evenly split between design (mostly JPKenny)\, operation (mostly Unocal) and construction (mostly ARV).  He grew up in Perth\, receiving a B Eng. in Civil Engineering in 1980 and commenced work with 4 years at the Public Works Dept. (PWD)\, designing marine structures and building water supply and sewerage systems (think of him next time you’re using the Margret River scheme).  Like many other West Aussies\, he went to London for 2 years and entered the offshore oil & gas sector with Brown & Root (UK)\, followed by formative 11 years with JPKenny\, starting with 5 others in Perth in 1984.  His career path took him to Sydney and later Bangkok\, where he joined Unocal Thailand to redesign the facilities in the Gulf of Thailand.  In 2005 he left to set up ARV Offshore and 5 years later returned to Perth for the Australian version.  During this career he has gravitated towards the challenging\, marginal\, innovative projects to apply engineering and commercial drivers to optimise the solutions. \n \nThanks to our sponsor URL:https://www.spe-wa.org/event/oil-and-gas-facilities-group-november-technical-evening/ LOCATION:Mia Yellagonga (Woodside)\, 11 Mount St\, Perth\, Western Australia\, 6000\, Australia CATEGORIES:Facilities Group ORGANIZER;CN="Julie Morgan":MAILTO:JULIE.MORGAN1@woodside.com.au END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Asia/Shanghai:20160209T120000 DTEND;TZID=Asia/Shanghai:20160209T140000 DTSTAMP:20160127T084432Z CREATED:20150828T040707Z LAST-MODIFIED:20160127T084432Z UID:1359-1455019200-1455026400@www.spe-wa.org SUMMARY:SPE Distinguished Lecturer - Understanding Liquid Loading will Improve Well Performance DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \nOperators of natural gas wells have long used Turner equations to calculate critical gas velocity to keep gas wells unloaded. The original Turner method was developed for vertical wells with analysis performed using wellhead conditions. However\, this methodology is only applicable to high-pressure\, vertical wells with a simple completion geometry. Modern well design employs complex geometries\,  including slant\, S-shaped\, and horizontal well paths\, as operators seek to reduce costs and the environmental footprint\, while maximizing the production rate potential. Modern designs require special consideration in estimating critical velocity. The presentation will provide an overview of historical techniques for detecting liquid loading and modifications of the Turner method to address contemporary well designs. \nPresenter: Robert Sutton \nRobert Sutton is an independent consultant.

The question is: Why? Why did these two more recent Incidents occur if we had learnt lessons from Piper Alpha and implemented the appropriate corrective actions? \nDr Rhona Flin from the University of Aberdeen and her team were tasked by the IOGP to investigate and report on this question. Their first report published in 2012\, clearly indicates that these incidents could be attributed to human factors and not the lack of procedures. Two more reports followed that defined six core Non-Technical Skills and a syllabi\, from which a number of training organizations around the world have already developed into two or three day training programs. Although this is a step in the right direction\, the question that still needs to be addressed is: How can we ensure that once our people become aware of these non-technical skills\, that they can then actually implement them? \nFrom a psychological point of view\, a person can learn a new concept in a matter of minutes\, but it takes approximately two years of implementation for it to become a permanent change in their behavior. The aim of this presentation is to recognizes the question asked and introduce a continuous Personal Development strategy\, which has over 100 academic years of experience behind it and been applied over the past 25 years here in Australia\, to help each individual become a more effective team member and implement the required long term change. \nSpeaker: Jeanne Alexandra Boles \nJeanne has over 10 years’ experience in Well Servicing Operations\, Training and Management\, with Schlumberger\, on land and offshore operations\, in shallow and deep water environments\, across four continents\, giving her a greater insight into the way in which people and organisations function. Over the last year\, Jeanne has worked with Well Control Training providers to focus on Technical Training and has in the last year had the honour of working with a local Industrial Psychologist to develop one of the first IADC approved Well Operations Crew Resource Management (WOCRM) programs for Welltrain. \nDuring Jeanne’s career\, she has always been actively involved in mentoring and developing material to teach internal and external clients and has decided to take Personal Development to the next level and set up her own Consulting and Coaching business\, that combines the understanding of the Technical and Training needs of the O&G Industry and the concepts of Continuous Personal Development to offer individuals the tools required to achieve their goals and ultimately the goals of their organisations. \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  URL:https://www.spe-wa.org/event/spe-technical-luncheon-boosting-effectiveness-of-multi-disciplinary-technical-teams-through-continuous-personal-development-methodology/ LOCATION:Parmelia Hilton\, 14 Mill Street\, Perth\, Western Australia\, 6000\, Australia ORGANIZER;CN="Danielle Poskus (SPE Program Chair)":MAILTO:danielle.poskus@shell.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Australia/Perth:20150921T161500 DTEND;TZID=Australia/Perth:20150921T173000 DTSTAMP:20150904T081352Z CREATED:20150831T093357Z LAST-MODIFIED:20150904T081352Z UID:1364-1442852100-1442856600@www.spe-wa.org SUMMARY:SPE WA Lecture Series - South West Hub CO2 Storage Dynamic Modelling DESCRIPTION:Title:  South West Hub CO2 Storage Dynamic Modelling \nCO2 sequestration in underground formations is currently being considered to reduce the amount of CO2 emitted into the atmosphere. Understanding of the subsurface\, trapping and containment mechanisms and the chemical and physical interactions between CO2\, formation water\, and formation rock is necessary before sequestration can be approved. Part of the assessment is an assessment of the area and how the subsurface behaviour and movement of injected CO2 may change over time.  A dynamic model of the whole process can help uncertainty reduction throughout the exploration and appraisal stages. The accuracy of the dynamic model can also be increased by collecting more data from the region through 2D and 3D seismic surveys\, drilling data and appraisal wells. \nThe South West Hub CO2 sequestration is a project being led by the Department of Mines and Petroleum and funded by the Commonwealth Government. Whilst commercial projects are not expected in the immediate future\, planning is based around capturing CO2 from a number of emission points\, transporting the CO2 via pipeline to the storage site\, and sequestrate into Wonnerup sandstone member of the southern Perth Basin. The expected CO2 injection mass is between 2 to 6.5 Million tonnes per year.  Extensive data acquisition activities have been carried out during last 5 years including 2D\, and 3D seismic survey and the drilling of 4 wells in the area of interest interested. In this presentation a background to the project\, the mechanism of storage into porous media\, and the plume movement will be explained. \n  \nSpeaker’s Biography \nMohammad Bahar has more than 25 years’ experience in the oil and gas industry and is the author of more than 28 peer-reviewed scientific publications and conference papers. He has a BSc and a MSc in petroleum/chemical engineering from the Petroleum University of Technology\, Iran\, and a PhD in petroleum engineering from Curtin University of Technology. He has professional experience with fluid phase behavior\, enhanced oil recovery\, reservoir simulation and field development planning. He started his career with National Iranian Oil Company from 1990–2003. After completing his PhD\, he joined CSIRO as a research scientist in 2006\, where he worked on a microbial-enhanced oil recovery project. In 2010\, he joined the Department of Mines and Petroleum\, where he is a senior reservoir engineer on unconventional resources\, CO2 storage and reservoir management projects. \nThis event is proudly sponsored by AWE Limited.

Most think of perforating as being the act of running guns loaded with shaped charges into a well on wireline or tubing and blasting holes as deep as possible into the formation. However\, techniques and models have recently evolved that clearly show that the focus should be on perforating for productivity\, rather than perforating for penetration. The presentation leads the audience through the research\, experiments and models that show how\, today\, we can maximize reservoir potential through a perforated completion. It highlights the importance of not just penetration\, but also shot density and perforation clean up\, as well as the need to bring the well on production without damaging new perforations. The one idea I would like the members to take away from this lecture is that they should take care of how they perforate their wells and use the techniques available or risk losing thousands of barrels of production. These techniques apply to new wells\, old wells and also help delay unwanted events such as production below bubble point or condensate banking. So not only wells should produce better\, but they should also flow for longer without intervention. (Note that this presentation can be tailored for specific local requirements such as “Perforating for Fracturing” or “Perforating Carbonates”. \n  \nPresenter: Andrew Martin \nAndy Martin is Technical Director of Perforating for Schlumberger having joined the company in 1979 as a field engineer. His career has taken him through operations\, teaching cased hole services and technical writing. In 1996 Andy moved to Engineering Rosharon\, Texas where perforating systems are developed\, shaped charges manufactured and perforating research conducted for Schlumberger. Since then he has been involved in all aspects of perforating and regularly presents and teaches on the topic. \nHe is a member of SPE\, SPWLA and IExE and is a Schlumberger Advisor.

The drilling efficiency can be improved by using Impregnated Diamond (ID) bit\, where the performance of bit can be sustained and bit life can be prolonged by sharpening processes replacing the old and blunt diamonds by sharp ones embedded in a bonding matrix. Although being used frequently in hard rock drilling\, full potentials of ID bits have not been achieved in the field due to lack of understanding of the cutting and wear mechanisms dominating the ID bit response. \nIn this presentation\, the outcomes of a phenomenological research on the drilling action of ID bits are introduced. The results show that there are two dominant mechanisms mobilised at diamond/rock interface yielding to three drilling regimes. The understanding of the drilling regimes can be used to infer information regarding the bit wear status\, drilling performance\, cleaning and optimum operating condition. The presentation covers various cutting and drilling experiments performed in the lab as well as field\, on five different rock samples using more than 40 different ID bit and segment designs. \nPresenter \nDr. Mostofi is a researcher and lecturer at Petroleum Engineering Department of Curtin University. In the last five years in Curtin\, he has been collaborating with Deep Exploration Technology Corporative Research Centre and CSIRO in hard rock drilling research. Particularly\, he has been working on diamond bit/rock interaction\, drilling optimisation\, hole cleaning and depth discrimination of cuttings. Examples of these collaborations are development of a drilling model for interpretation and optimisation of diamond bit drilling\, and a number of field tests optimising the drilling performance and validating state of the art lab studies. When it comes to teaching\, he has been lecturer of Drilling units in bachelor’s and masters’ programs. \nThank you to the sponsors for our 2014/15 SPE Lecture Series: \n  URL:https://www.spe-wa.org/event/spe-wa-lecture-drilling-response-of-impregnated-diamond-bits-challenges-and-opportunities/ LOCATION:Mia Yellagonga (Woodside)\, 11 Mount St\, Perth\, Western Australia\, 6000\, Australia ORGANIZER;CN="Abbas Khaksar":MAILTO:WAContinuingEducation@apemail.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Australia/Perth:20150822T190000 DTEND;TZID=Australia/Perth:20150823T000000 DTSTAMP:20150904T081325Z CREATED:20150714T205915Z LAST-MODIFIED:20150904T081325Z UID:750-1440270000-1440288000@www.spe-wa.org SUMMARY:SPE WA Annual Fundraising Ball 2015 DESCRIPTION:Registration Price:\nMember $220.00\nStudent $220.00\nNon-Members $220.00\nTable of 10 $Sold Out total\nSilver Sponsor table of 10 $2500 total\nGold Sponsor table of 10 $2900 total URL:https://www.spe-wa.org/event/spe-wa-annual-fundraising-ball-2015/ LOCATION:Governor’s Ballroom\, Government House\, St Georges Terrace\, Perth\, Western Australia\, 6000\, Australia CATEGORIES:Social END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Australia/Perth:20150818T163000 DTEND;TZID=Australia/Perth:20150818T180000 DTSTAMP:20150904T081314Z CREATED:20150730T072642Z LAST-MODIFIED:20150904T081314Z UID:953-1439915400-1439920800@www.spe-wa.org SUMMARY:SPE WA Oil and Gas Facilities Group: Dynamic simulation - challenging the “just do this” approach DESCRIPTION:SPE WA Oil and Gas Facilities Group – Technical Presentation: \nDynamic simulation – Challenging the “just do this” approach \nOver the last decade\, the use of dynamic simulation has been increasing in our industry and now operators are using dynamic simulation at different stages of projects. This presentation will focus on examples of how dynamic simulation has been used successfully to support operations through the life cycle of projects\, e.g. from well clean‑up\, field start‑up\, production operations\, right through to field abandonment. Thanks to dynamic simulation\, the “just do this” approach is rapidly disappearing from our industry. \nAbout our Speaker: Rio Yokote \nRio is the Senior Petroleum Engineer for Eni Australia in their operations department.

Subsea technology provides a means to technically and economically produce remote and/or deep water reserves by placing subsea equipment i.e. Wellhead\, Tree system\, Manifold etc. on the sea bed. The subsea production system can range in complexity from a single satellite well with a flowline linked to a fixed/floating platform\, to several wells on a template or clustered around a manifold that transfers oil and gas to a fixed or floating facility or directly to onshore facilities. \nPresenter: Zahid Hasan is the Subsea Field Development Lead for FMC Technologies Australia & New Zealand. He has more than twelve years of experience in offshore and subsea engineering\, in particular subsea hardware and system engineering projects.  Before joining FMC Technologies\, Zahid worked for DNV and was involved with technology development for subsea pipeline and DNV led Joint Industry projects for offshore and subsea structures. \nIf you wish to attend this free lecture\, register by adding a free ticket to your cart below and proceed to the Checkout.
