Offshore Remedial Works

About the Course

The Offshore Remedial Works course is a comprehensive two-day programme designed for professionals in the offshore oil and gas industry. It focuses on the critical aspects of inspection, investigation, and repair processes for offshore structures. This course combines theoretical and practical learning, including real-world case studies, to equip participants with essential skills for preventing and solving common offshore problems.

The programme begins with a detailed exploration of inspection and investigation techniques. Participants will learn about common problems encountered offshore, various inspection methods, and analysis techniques through case studies. This foundational knowledge is essential for identifying and understanding the conditions that necessitate remedial actions.

Next, the course delves into preparatory works required before repairs. This includes excavation design, coating removal, and surface preparation. These steps are crucial for ensuring that repair processes are carried out effectively and efficiently. The programme then addresses different repair scenarios, including the use of diving and remotely operated vehicle (ROV) operations. Participants will gain insights into various repair methods, the functionality and capability of different techniques, and the requirements for major repairs and isolation.

The course also covers execution and testing procedures, including the development of procedures, process safety, pre-deployment testing, and post-repair testing. These sessions are designed to ensure that participants can plan and execute repairs safely and effectively, with a strong emphasis on practical execution and real-world application.

A significant portion of the course is dedicated to common remedial works, such as stabilisation options, span and buckle remediation, and the installation of protection measures. This includes retrofitting anodes and other protection systems. A detailed case study on buoyant span provides practical insights into the problem background, assessment, remediation, and lessons learned, offering a comprehensive view of remedial strategies.

Finally, the course explores remediation design, focusing on rock-dump berm design, protection requirements, mattress considerations, and the impact of seabed mobility. Participants will learn how to design effective remediation strategies that address the specific challenges of offshore environments.

Throughout the course, interactive exercises and collaborative group sessions enhance the learning experience, allowing participants to apply theoretical knowledge to practical scenarios. This approach fosters a network of professionals who can share experiences and solutions to common challenges in offshore remedial works.

By the end of the course, delegates will have a comprehensive understanding of offshore remedial work techniques, equipped with the skills to manage and execute complex repair projects. This training is essential for professionals seeking to advance their expertise in offshore operations and contribute to the safety and efficiency of offshore structures.
