High Fidelity Nonlinear Dynamic Simulations: 1) Dropped Objects, 2) Flexible Riser Systems by Dr Hema Wadhwa from INTECSEA The presentation aims to discuss a) simulation-based dropped objects assessments for cost management and installation risk reduction and b) An advanced Nonlinear Dynamically Substructured (NDS) solver that enables direct integration and efficient computation of detailed 3D flexible riser […]

Smart Geo-structure Interaction and System Modelling of Subsea Facilities Abstract: The system performance of subsea facilities is highly affected by its interaction with the seabed. By better understanding the system and identification of the key drivers in the design process, the performance can be optimized and in turn lead to better and more cost-effective foundation […]

      PRESENTS:   Aging, but not Obsolete: Lessons in Life Extension  by Dr Kieran Chalk, Senior Consultant at Frazer-Nash Consultancy In a climate of low CAPEX and OPEX budgets keeping existing assets operating safely and reliably is challenging but essential, requiring robust justification for any financial expenditure. This talk will examine lessons in asset […]

  By: Olaf Rutgrink Senior Engineer from AMOG Consulting Abstract: AMOG was tasked with developing a long-term fix for some localised cases of severe hull pitting corrosion on an FPSO structure that had resulted in through holes in the hull. The challenge was to develop a repair that could be implemented whilst the FPSO remained on […]

Above Ground Storage Tanks (ASTs) found in terminals and refineries around the world are often considered a low priority item and overlooked for various reasons. Owners and users of ASTs have had to reevaluate the consequence of different types of failures of tanks in recent years, and Inspection/NDT methodologies have been modified to suit the changes, join us to learn how you can […]

Abstract:  As decommissioning and long-term maintenance of petroleum facilities becomes a more common activity in Australia, operators and tier-1 service providers are having to address and manage NORM (Naturally Occurring Radioactive Materials) in the residues and wastes more often. Understanding NORM exists/may exist in your facility is one thing, understanding how to tackle this issue […]
