Description

Plan to attend this one-day seminar designed to provide education on the key elements of subsea tiebacks (subsea, umbilicals, risers, flowlines), areas of technology development, and decarbonization solutions. For registered professional engineers, this course counts for six (6) professional development hours.  NOTE: Additional registration required.

Presented by: SUT
The Society for Underwater Technology (SUT) is a multidisciplinary learned society that brings together organisations and individuals with a common interest in underwater technology, ocean science and offshore engineering. The society has branches in the Eastern Mediterranean and other offshore energy-producing regions around the world.
