Offshore Engineering
Design, Fabrication, Installation, Hook-up and Commissioning
Introduction
The Oil and Gas industry have offshore design engineering and construction projects as well as
maintenance services which are technically and commercially challenging therefore good
knowledge and competency of the project team members throughout the different phases of
works are keys to the successful execution of these projects. This training seminar aims to
provide the participants with comprehensive foundation knowledge of Offshore Engineering.
This GLOMACS Offshore Engineering training seminar starts with an introduction of Field
Development Planning (FDP) and Project Management, followed by design engineering,
procurement, substructures and topsides fabrication, load-out and sea transportation, offshore
installation, hook-up, commissioning, and start-up. An overview of the major and support marine
vessels, cranes and pipe-laying equipment will also be described. This GLOMACS training
seminar places particular emphasis on the principles and steps of the works, using engineering
calculations, flowcharts and diagrams to enhance the learning experience of the participants.
Relevant international and typical client engineering standards will be referred to. Rules of
thumb, engineering formulas, flowcharts and diagrams will be used to illustrate the principles
and steps required for each part of the work. Real-life project examples as well as video clips
will be used to demonstrate these offshore engineering activities and to aid the familiarisation
and learning of the participants.
With a good foundation knowledge of offshore engineering, it is hoped that the participants will
be better prepared to function in the design engineering, fabrication and construction
department, offshore installation, hook-up, commissioning and start-up of offshore projects.
Such roles include field and discipline engineers, project engineer, cost estimating engineers,
fabrication contract admin executives, CSR, construction supervisors and engineers, or
fabrication engineer. This GLOMACS Offshore Engineering training seminar will also be useful for
university lecturers who wish to supplement their teaching materials and theoretical knowledge
with real-life domain or practical knowledge of offshore engineering competencies and skills in
pursuit of their CPD certification with Institution of Engineers at their respective countries.
This GLOMACS training seminar will feature:
Objectives
By the end of this GLOMACS training seminar, participants will be able to:
● Understand what entails in Field Development Planning (FDP) and project management
● Understand the complexities of Offshore Engineering activities
● Appreciate the complete metamorphosis of Offshore Engineering –from the Design phase till
the Commissioning and Start-up phase
● Understand Fabrication, Erection, Loadout and sea-fastening implementation at Fabrication
yards
● Understand the selection of the major support marine vessels and major installation
equipment for offshore installation works
● Fully understand the structure and topsides installation techniques
● Understand what is involved in Pipelaying and riser installation works & Subsea installation
and diving support activities
● Fully understand what are involved in mobilisation of marine vessels, construction crew,
marine crew and construction equipment
● Understand the scope of work for hook-up and commissioning activities
Training Methodology
This GLOMACS Offshore Engineering training course will be conducted in a classroom. Examples
and video clips of past offshore fabrication and load-out activities, as well as offshore installation
activities will be used to aid the learning and understanding of the subject matters. Participants
will also take part in group classroom exercises to reinforce their learning experience. Each
participant will receive a set of training course materials. There will also be pre-seminar as well
as post-seminar assessment tests.
