Module Content

Outline Syllabus:Introduction to the offshore oil and gas industry. General engineering knowledge of offshore installations and application of installations. With emphasis on fixed and floating offshore oil and gas facilities, renewable energy platforms and port infrastructures (jetties, wharves and docks). Interactions between external loading and structural behaviours of marine structures, concepts of fluid-structure interaction and general dynamics of marine systems. Engineering plant and systems required to support the activities on an offshore installation. Drilling, well structure, well drive mechanisms and injection methods. Production and processing of oil and gas. Environmental factors and environmental loading.
