| Aims of Module | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| To provide the student with extensive knowledge and understanding of the design of a subsea hydrocarbon production system, the economics and project processes involved, and the activities necessary to ensure system availability. To provide a broad view of subsea engineering fundamentals and application, and the interfaces with associated disciplines such as drilling, the majority of which will be studied in more depth in other modules. | |||
| Learning Outcomes for Module | |
|---|---|
| On completion of this module, students are expected to be able to: | |
| 1 | Demonstrate extensive, detailed and critical knowledge and understanding of design interfaces, drivers, and economics, and their application to subsea production system. |
| 2 | Critically analyse and evaluate the requirements and constraints of subsea developments and the development preliminary field architecture and system configuration meeting drilling, flow assurance, and integrity management needs. |
| 3 | Critically analyse and evaluate the specialised subsea equipment (including trees, control systems, manifold, jumpers, and risers) used for subsea field development. |
| 4 | Demonstrate extensive, detailed and critical knowledge and understanding of the principles of subsea project execution and operation. |
