Overseeing thousands of operating parameters is no easy feat when key data lies in disparate sources, is not always readily available and there is no common system to provide a single source of the truth.  Process control alarms on their own are not enough to ensure the boundaries of safe operations and abnormal conditions outside […]

Pseudo Dry Gas System – An Enabling Technology for Remote Gas Field This session will present an innovative ‘Pseudo’ dry gas subsea system technology to demonstrate that subsea tie backs far in excess of current threshold distances can be achieved without compression. A key driver in the value proposition is to increase the geographical reach […]

Abstract: After years of development, qualification and engineering, subsea compression technology is now a proven solution to increase the recovery factor for offshore gas developments. The first subsea compression system was installed at the Aasgard field in the Norwegian Sea, which started up successfully on the 17th of September 2015. This represents an important milestone […]

Technical Evening-The Book Ends of Facility Life How to Enhance Value-June 20 The Book Ends of Facility Life: How to Enhance Value 2 Presenters in 2 short presentations will show us how to get the most value out of 2 critical stages of every project Start-Up+Commissioning and Decommissioning. Using the ALARP Principle to Significantly Reduce Offshore Decommissioning […]

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 […]

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 […]

  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 […]
