Overview
A great
deal of the oil and gas expected to be found in India is likely to
be offshore and in very deep water, for instance a lot of the NELP 7
licensing round was for waters if 2500m. The technology for
developing these fields requires specialist knowledge and
experience, which has been gained around the world in places like
the UK North Sea, the Gulf of Mexico and offshore West Africa.
The
intention of this seminar was to bring this experience to the host
of engineers who will be developing India's great oils and gas
potential offshore, and to look to the future to see where
technologies might develop to exploit less conventional sources of
energy, such as methane hydrates,
The core
of the seminar covered:
- the
economic and technical drivers for subsea developments
- the
seabed data required and hoe to get it
- the
concepts behind subsea developments
- the
challenges faced: depth, long-distance tie-backs, high
pressure/high temperature, flow assurance
- subsea control systems
- risers and pipelines
- remotely operated vehicles (ROVs)
- autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs)
- Unconventional resources
Keynotes
were delivered from BP Exploration,
Oil
and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC) and National Institute of Ocean
Technology (NJIOT). Speakers were drawn from Fugro GeoConsulting
Ltd, Genesis Oil and Gas, BG Group, Intec Engineering, Des
Operations, Cameron, Aker Solutions, J P Kenny, 2H Offshore, Fugro
Subsea Services and Kongsberg Maritime.
