Aims
To provide advanced understanding of offshore installation types and knowledge of offshore installations from an operational and safety aspect.
Learning Outcomes
1.
Demonstrate the application of offshore installation and offshore installation types.
2.
Demonstrate the principles of engineering plants' application and requirements in marine and offshore installations.
3.
Demonstrate and understanding and an ability to quantify the environmental loads experienced by an offshore structure.
4.
Critically evaluate the changes in the global oil, gas and energy markets and understand the impact on the marine and offshore engineering industry.
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. 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.

Additional Information:
The module is designed to provide advanced understanding of various offshore installation types and the engineering plants required to operate these installations. This module includes content which relates to the following UN Sustainable Development Goals: SDG 7– This module demonstrate energy harvest from various sources (conventional and modern) to ensure access to affordable, reliable and sustainable energy for all. SDG9 – This module will demonstrate the importance of energy infrastructure, sustainable industrialisation and innovation. SDG17 – This module will promote peaceful and inclusive societies for sustainable development by discussing historical events that have triggered political tensioned and threatened access to affordable energy.
