| Subsea flexible pipe and risers course 10 - 14 September, 2012
This three-day course sets out the principal elements of flexible pipe such as pipe design, materials, pipe installation, codes and standards, inspection and monitoring methodologies, annulus testing, and integrity management. In conjunction with the taught course, a visit is planned at a flexible pipe manufacturing plant, where delegates will have an opportunity to obtain an insight into the unconventional form of pipe manufacture; course presenter David Newman says that "if you have never seen flexible pipe manufacturing before, you will wish that you had!" a) Who should attend? The course is aimed at those who are new to the flexible pipe environment, practitioners in rigid pipe design wishing to gain greater insight into flexible pipe design and operations, and project engineers and managers who may encounter the use of flexible pipe within the offshore and subsea environment. b) Course notes The course will be fully documented with all slides and related documents printed in a durable four-ring binder for reference during and after the course, providing an invaluable reference document. c) Schedule 09.00-17.00, 7 March 09.00-17.00, 8 March 09.00-12.00, 9 March d) Lecturer Eur Ing David Newman is Corporate Integrity Technical Authority for Flexlife in Aberdeen. He is also principal of International Pipeline Management Services, based in London. David has in excess of 30 years national and international oil and gas project engineering and management expertise and experience within operators, EPIC contractors, and consultancy teams for various size projects extending from $Mn to in excess of $Bn's CAPEX His principal interest and experience lies within subsea pipeline engineering (both rigid and flexible) in the areas of design, construction, installation, and operations, as well as in pipeline-related issues of materials and corrosion engineering, welding engineering, and testing. In addition, David has extensive experience within asset-integrity-management systems and programmes relating to upstream and downstream facilities and, in particular, organizational integrity-management policies and strategies, risk-based IMR programmes, operational integrity management, risk and reliability, and health and safety management systems. David has worked as an oil and gas consultant on many major and global projects including Shell Malampaya, Shell ETAP, AgipKCO Kashagan, and Sakhalin Island, in addition to works for ADNOC, BP, Total, Repsol, ExxonMobil, NAM, Maersk, Pemex, NIOC, and SBM relating to offshore engineering and management, pipelines and integrity management leading multi-disciplined and multi-cultural project teams at international locations, travelling extensively throughout Europe, US, Scandinavia, Middle and Far East. His knowledge of, and fluency in, some six languages has managed to steer the correct path during project work. In addition to his professional work, David takes a keen interest within teaching and mentoring of engineers at all levels, as well as an academic contribution at Cranfield University, where he lectures and supervises postgraduate students in the department of Offshore and Ocean Technology and School of Engineering. Typical recent projects include the design of HP-HT deepwater pipelines, pigging challenges for deepwater pipelines, and ageing assets in relation to integrity-management systems. David Newman is a registered chartered engineer of the Engineering Council of UK as well as a registered European engineer, a professional member of the Institute of Materials, a Council Member of SUT (Society Underwater Technology), and holds memberships of the Professional Institute of Pipeline Engineers and the Institute of Corrosion. He has authored a number of papers to date relating to pipelines and asset risk management. Craig Keyworth is an engineering consultant and product development manager with Flexlife, based in Aberdeen. He has in excess of 15 years national and international oil and gas engineering and management expertise and experience relating to flexible pipe design, manufacture and installation gained within organizations such as Dunlop Oil & Marine, Wellstream International, Monobuoy Monaco, Phoenix Beattie, and latterly Subsea7; these organizations specializing in flexible pipe design and manufacturing, mooring and offloading systems, offloading and fluid handling systems and offshore/subsea installation and construction, respectively. Craig's expertise and knowledge of these systems has enabled him to travel and work in a number of global locations including the UK North Sea, Norway (North Sea), Middle and Far East, and Africa on numerous FEED, EPIC, and SURF projects, as well as developing new, patented, and ground-breaking technology for use specifically in association with flexible pipe. Based on his substantive and comprehensive understanding of flexible pipe, his current role for Flexlife in Aberdeen deals with various technical, unique, and innovative aspects relating to flexible pipe. He leads the joint-industry project (JIP) for Riser end-of-life investigation with a specific view to deconstructing and characterizing the end of life of risers in order to determine the metrics of possible life extension of future risers. Craig is a degree-qualified mechanical engineer and a registered Chartered Engineer of the Institute of Mechanical Engineers. In addition to his professional work, where he leads a sizeable research and development team at Flexlife, Craig also takes time out for personal academic and social pursuits represented by having a keen interest in lecturing and mentoring of engineers at all levels, and being a keen sports cyclist, previously competing at international level and now competing in off-road motorcycle Enduro events at national level. He considers himself young enough to be able to 'make it', and in consequence he is currently in training to compete in the 2013 Dakar Rally. e) Syllabus Flexible pipe - general considerations
