In recent years, as a result of cost and schedule pressure along with the increasing complexity of offshore projects, the subsea industry has been challenged to achieve more economical solutions on tighter schedules. This session explores recent advancements and challenges over a range of topics relevant for subsea and offshore equipment for oil and gas, hydrogen, and CCUS applications, which provide insight into the challenges and ways the industry has driven efficiency. Topics include the challenges posed by potential PFAS regulations and supply chain disruptions, improved methods for manufacturing subsea equipment, advances in lift technology, methods and technologies for improving integrity management and enabling life extension, methods for in-situ load measurement and life estimation, the application of novel design approaches, and innovative approaches to offshore installation. The authors will showcase their innovation in subsea technology through research, case studies and lessons learned.
