EEMUA announces Subsea training course

An Engineering Equipment and Materials Users (EEMUA) product story
Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team Oct 27, 2008

A training course on Subsea Materials Selection and Corrosion Control has been developed and launched by EEMUA - the Engineering Equipment and Materials Users' Association.

The course is recommended for discipline- and project-focused engineers who want to gain an understanding of the fundamental principles for selecting and specifying materials of construction for subsea equipment, and for corrosion control during deployment, commissioning and operation.

'As the world's oil and gas reserves become ever more depleted, companies are exploring production in remote locations and increasingly deeper waters,' said Clive Tayler, executive director of EEMUA.

'The pressures, temperatures and compositions of the produced fluids, plus the seawater environment, place substantial demands on materials of construction.

'Intervention costs increase significantly in deeper waters, while inspection and monitoring for equipment integrity becomes more difficult.

'The industry has witnessed some expensive materials related equipment failures from which we must all learn.

'We first published our Guide to Subsea Materials Selection, EEMUA Publication No 194, in the1990s.

'Now in a second edition, it is against today's more demanding background that we have developed the Subsea course to answer the industry's call for training based on its recommendations.

'Delegates will learn at first-hand from expert presenters - materials and corrosion specialists from major offshore/subsea operating companies.' The course, lasting two and a half days, is being operated in association with the Society for Underwater Technology (SUT), who actively promote the development, dissemination and exchange of ideas, information and technology arising from or related to the underwater environment.

The first course will be held 8-10 December, 2008, in Aberdeen.

Further details, a brochure and registration form are available from EEMUA.
