Floating Production, Storage & Offloading

Design & Technology - Level 2, including latest developments in FLNG technology and market developments

The number of floating production systems is set to grow from 250 units to 299 in 2011. As crude oil prices rise above USD 100 per barrel, FPSO technology is no doubt the most efficient and viable solution for deepwater offshore field development. However, with development projects going to greater depth and complexity, the big question still remains on how to drive greater efficiency from better FPSO designs and what are the new developments in turret, mooring, swivel technologies to improve safety and lower cost.

Featured Case Study Discussions on:

Case Study One; Processing system operations on BP FPSO Greater Plutonio

Review of the Training CD every BP Operator must learn before going offshore to operate the Subsea Production Facilities and the FPSO Facilities, from Reservoir to Oil and Gas Export systems.

Case Study Two; Chevron ALBA FSO; First Internal Turret in the North Sea

A detailed review of the Turret system with mooring lines design & installation, Chain table & Riser connections, main deck turret piping & pigging system, fluid Swivel & back-up, leak detection system, interfaces with cargo piping and Oil & Gas export lines including Integrity Monitoring Systems.

An assessment of nuclear safety in the UK in a post Fukushima world evening lecture

26 April 2012

Time:

17.00 - 18.00

Venue:

Energy Institute Address- 61 New Cavendish Street

London
W1G 7AR

Summary
Some people in the press and in public have referred to the events in Japan 12 months ago as a wake up call, others have called it a lesson we all must learn from. To the nuclear operators, it is more personal, more real perhaps, sobering to watch the three containment structures deflagrate. What next for an industry that views itself as a significant part of the solution to our energy needs (an industry that was in a renaissance) how do we persuade people that nuclear electricity is the right thing to do?

ESCP Europe - Energy Conference Invitation

On behalf of the Research Centre for Energy Management (RCEM) at ESCP Europe, it is our pleasure to invite you to a special conference in London.

Environmental liability risk: a pressing issue for energy companies

Date: 24th April, 2012

Time: 4pm - 6.30pm (followed by a drinks reception)

Location: The Institute of Directors, 116-123 Pall Mall, London, SW1Y 5ED

We are entering a new technological era which marks the end of so-called 'easy oil'. This shift creates an increased complexity in energy projects and a growing concern for both environmental impacts and the potential for damage to local populations.

Furthermore, the mishandling of recent catastrophes by large energy companies - as well as the largely unpublicised leaks - have cast serious doubts as to their ability to prevent severe accidents from occurring and if they do to limit their development.

Given all of these factors, there is a growing concern for how prepared energy companies are to deal with the new risks they face. This conference aims to provide a forum for researchers and practitioners to exchange ideas and present new research results on this pressing issue.

The event will cover the following topics:

Accounting for 'contingent environmental liability'

Environmental liability: an issue for insurers

Public-Private joint Energy developments: preparing governments to handle risk

Environmental risk: an urgent need for new safety regulations and standards in the Energy industry

Confirmed speakers:

Tony Backos - Watson, Farley & Williams LLP

Dr Duncan Fairgrieve - Tort Law Centre at the British Institute for International and Comparative Law

Dr Maxi Scherer - WilmerHale

Dr Patrick Gougeon - ESCP Europe Business School

Admission to the conference is free of charge, but places are limited to 60 and allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. To register your place or for more information, please contact Kasia Wolenska viaemail or by calling +44 (0)20 7443 8819.

"Tullow Oil's Exploration Led Growth Strategy"

Angus McCoss, Exploration Director
Tullow Oil plc

Thursday, 22 March 2012, 6 p.m.

Please make your finalised booking before Monday, 19 March 2012.

Royal Scots Club, 29 Abercromby Place, Edinburgh, EH3 6QE . Link to Map.

A programme of student dinner attendance from member universities is sponsored by

Synopsis

Our bold exploration strategy plainly differentiates Tullow. Our area of exploration focus is clear; Africa and the Atlantic Margins. Tullow's core plays are giant stratigraphic traps, oil-prone rift basins and prolific salt basins. We target discovering big volumes of light oil, for premium value, at low finding costs. As Tullow sustainably grows, through exploration we add scale without adding complexity. We are taking ever more material acreage positions, with sensible commitments and low cost exit points, to significantly amplify the commercial follow-up potential in the event of early discoveries. Our unit of scale grows commensurately with our investment in exploration, from individual high-graded prospects in Tullow's early days, through prolific plays, to transformational basin opening in 2007, to where we are today and beyond, exploring systems of related hydrocarbon basins. We present this remarkable growth story with interesting examples of what we have achieved to date and what we aim to achieve in the future.

Speaker

Angus McCoss was appointed to the Board in December 2006. He is a geologist with a BP sponsored PhD and, prior to joining Tullow in April 2006 as General Manager Exploration, he had 21 years of wide-ranging exploration experience, working primarily with Shell in Africa, Europe, China, South America and the Middle East. He held a number of senior positions within Shell including Americas Regional Vice President Exploration and General Manager of Exploration in Nigeria. He is currently a non-executive Director of Ikon Science Limited and a member of the Advisory Board of the industry-backed Energy and Geoscience Institute of the University of Utah.
