OFFSHORE EUROPE
NEW SESSION AT OFFSHORE EUROPE TO
FOCUS ON EXTENDING LIFE OF FIELDS
Subsea UK will host a session at this year’s
Offshore Europe looking at how underwater
operations can extend the life of fields and
maximise economic recovery from the UKCS.
Neil Gordon, chief executive of Subsea UK,
will chair the session which takes place
from 10am to 12noon in the Late Life and
Decommission Zone Theatre on Friday, 6
September at Offshore Europe. The session
will centre on the innovative technology and
strategies being developed to manage the
late life of subsea systems.
Industry experts will discuss the latest
innovations in remote operations and
interventions, and smart subsea technology.
Speakers at the session will be, Paul Slorach
of EC-OG; Julian Richards of 3D at Depth;
Moya Cahill of PanGeo Subsea; Romain
Chambault of Baker Hughes GE; Dave
Millward of STATS Group; Donald Horsfall
of Expro and Jeremy Edwards of Viper
Innovations.
Neil Gordon, chief executive of Subsea UK,
said: “Decommissioning is the final stage in
the life of any offshore production project,
and before this takes place it is vital, for
companies and the longevity of the UKCS,
that the full potential is realised from the
field.
“A key part of this is the management of
subsea systems in late life, and recent years
has seen the emergence of new technology
which has the potential to extend the life
of fields and maximise reserves from pools
which were previously uneconomical. expanded this year to include late life
management. This high level of discussion
into how companies can maximise
economic recovery is precisely what we
were looking to encourage with the growth
of this section of the programme.”
“Due to the maturity of North Sea, the UKCS
is leading the way globally in life extension
and our session at Offshore Europe presents
an opportunity to hear from the companies
at the forefront of developing innovative
technology and operations which have
the capacity to extend the life of fields and
maximise economic recovery.” Subsea UK will be at Offshore Europe with
its subsea pavilion at Stand 1J50. The stand
will feature member companies including;
3D at Depth, Ashford Instrumentation,
Malin Marine Consultants, JB Valves,
Rotech Subsea, Nippon Gases Offshore and
Dockstr.
