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.
