Overview of Subsea Systems- SS-2

Discipline: Offshore & Subsea
Level: Basic
Instructors who teach this course:


  • About the course
  • Designed For
  • You will learn
  • Course Content
An overview of subsea components and how they are integrated into field architecture is provided during this five-day course. Individuals will develop a basic understanding of the various subsea components used in all water depths, from shallow to ultra-deep water. The participants job productivity will be accelerated by learning how the components are combined and integrated into subsea field developments. Installation and flow assurance are emphasized as key drivers in subsea design. The course emphasizes a systems approach to design. Individual and group exercises are used throughout the course, including a case study to develop field architecture recommendations, basic component selection, and high level project execution plans for a subsea development. Course instructors are experienced offshore managers.


"Overall, a very well delivered and enjoyable course. As someone new to the industry, I found the level of the course was pitched just right." - Process Engineer, Netherlands


"I learned a lot about subsea design considerations and trade-offs. Great instructor!" - Facilities Engineer, United States
Technical staff who are beginning or transitioning into the design, construction, and operation of subsea systems. Non-technical staff working with a subsea development team will benefit by developing an awareness of subsea systems.
How To:
  • Recognize the integrated nature of field architecture, system design, and component selection
  • Identify appropriate applications for subsea systems
  • Identify the main subsea components, their functions, strengths, weaknesses, and interfaces from the well to the production facility
  • Understand key design, construction, and installation issues
  • Describe basic operating and maintenance considerations
  • Understand the key steps, from drilling through startup, for the design, fabrication, testing, installation, and operation
  • Understand the importance of an integrated approach to design, flow assurance, installation, and life-cycle considerations
  • Applications for subsea systems
  • Flow assurance considerations in system design and configuration
  • Field architecture considerations
  • Subsea component descriptions and functions
  • Fabrication, testing, installation, commissioning, and operational issues
  • Production, maintenance, and repair considerations

DR. ANDREA MANGIAVACCHI is currently involved in international deep-water offshore projects on behalf of major oil and gas operators. He is also an active member of work groups involved in the development of US and international standards for offshore structures. After an early academic career with the University of Rome, Italy and with Rice University in Houston, Andrea joined Brown & Root (today KBR), where over the next 25 years he was involved in a number of major international offshore oil and gas projects (Gulf of Mexico, North Sea, South America, West Africa, Asia-Pacific). He also held a number of corporate positions in the area of deep water technology, fixed and floating offshore structures, and engineering systems. Andrea has extensive experience in conceptual field development projects, structural analysis and design, hydrodynamics, naval architecture, Computer Aided Engineering and Design. Andrea holds a MSc in Nuclear Engineering and a PhD in Aerospace Engineering, both from the University of Rome. He has authored or co-authored over 30 technical papers, and holds two patents.

DR. KENT SAUGIER is a hands-on scientific, technology and business professional with twenty-five years' experience in upstream oil and gas, offshore technology, economics, economic modeling, international petroleum contracts, project management, software applications and technology including design, licensing and commercialization. He has domestic and international experience, excellent presentation skills and strong customer awareness. He received both a B.A. and a Ph.D. in Chemistry from the University of California.
