Fundamentals of Offshore Systems Design and Construction
This extended course builds a fundamental understanding of how offshore systems are designed and built, from shallow to ultra-deep water. It considers the full field life, including development, surveillance and asset management. All major components, such as fixed and floating platforms, rigs, pipelines, risers and topsides facilities, are covered along with their interfaces.
