relevant and interesting. There was lots of debate from
participants, which was very well managed and facilitated.
As the world’s oil and gas reserves become ever more depleted, companies are
exploring production in remote locations and increasingly deeper waters. We have
seen rapid growth of deepwater fields since the 1990s.
The pressures, temperatures and compositions of the produced fluids, plus the
seawater environment, place substantial demands on materials of construction.
Intervention costs increase significantly in deeper waters, whilst inspection and
monitoring for equipment integrity become more difficult. The industry has
witnessed some expensive materials-related equipment failures from which we
all must learn.
Against this background, EEMUA has developed its guide to subsea materials
selection, EEMUA Publication 194, now in its second edition. By popular demand,
a training course has been developed by EEMUA based on this publication.
