Subsea Eng

I chose to pursue a Master's in Subsea engineering because I wanted to broaden my knowledge
and help solve the industry's current problems. I graduated from the University of Mines and
Technology with a bachelor’s degree in Petroleum Engineering, and I intend to continue my
education by enrolling at the University of Aberdeen to pursue a master’s degree in Subsea
Engineering. I am convinced that by obtaining this degree, I will be able to build on my existing
understanding of the industry and improve my skill set to have the long-term impact in the
industry that I have always desired.
When I thought back to my internship experience in my home country, I remembered seeing

certain projects and equipment in operation that had had serious delays, redesigns, failures, and
costly decommissioning; many of which had been run using a rough system engineering
approach. This offered me an understanding of how to instill ideas that I feel, with the
appropriate viewpoint, may aid in solving challenges that make things easier and cheaper for
stakeholders in organizations and businesses.
The University of Aberdeen is the best environment to build and nurture working professionals
and aspiring leaders in engineering fields, develop flexible and tailorable skills in managing
and sustaining technical teams and systems in dynamic environments. Their available course
contents are geared towards understanding the fundamentals of oil and gas engineering to
model-based systems engineering. They have good research facilities, and great mentors who
aid in thesis or research projects. Subsea engineering is direct, objective, and most importantly,
it solves problems. In fact, subsea engineering is a perfect match for my nature, and I made no
reservations about pursuing a career in this profession. My distinguishing characteristics as a
person include arranging and constructing a step-by-step strategy to dealing with obstacles that
impede growth in every part of experience I face. It was much easier to relate it to the
curriculum because it entails establishing systems and expressing ideas to solve difficulties.
At the undergraduate level, I also worked on multiple projects during my final year. The first
was “Design of a subsea separation simulator for offshore field”, where I led a team of three
students. We used C# programming language to create a simulation to show hydrocarbons
separated in a separator at the subsea level and developed a human machine interface. We used
hypothetical data to perform the simulation and it was quite successful. The project opened my
mind to new and effective ways of doing things which broadened my scope and understanding
of the field. I did not only learn the ‘what’s’, but I also learnt the ‘why’s’ and ‘how’s’.
My internship experience at a national oil company in my home country has helped me better
understand the sector by exposing me to real-world industry practice and shedding more light
on everything I had learned in school. The internship not only helped me intellectually, but they
also helped me develop abilities like cooperation, leadership, and efficient communication with
coworkers, which I will refer to as 'people skills.' It was here that I discovered that the proper
application of academic principles in real-world industry practice is what makes a successful
engineer.
Engineering is direct, objective, and most importantly, it solves problems. Engineering, in fact,
is a perfect match for my mentality, and I made no reservations about pursuing a career in this
discipline. Because my nation, Ghana, had recently discovered oil, I saw it as an opportunity
to work in the expanding oil and gas business in my country, as well as beyond its borders. I
applied to the University of Aberdeen because the industry demands technology with a wide
variety of applications to meet a wide range of well locations and extraction procedures, which
necessitates a clearer application of offshore engineering. As indicated by their alumni and
rankings, it is a respected institution. I feel that by pursuing an MSc in Subsea Engineering
there, I will be able to contribute not only to the quantity but also to the quality of the petroleum
sector in my home country and overseas.
After gaining knowledge and understanding of subsea engineering over the next few years, I
hope to be in a strategic position to apply my ideas to assisting in the identification of all
stakeholders' needs, consideration of the industry's complexity and commercial challenges, and
development of a product to meet those needs. In the long run, my goal is to be an integral part
of Ghana’s oil and gas industry where I can make decisions that have a significant impact on
the country's oil and gas operations and implement my thoughts and ideas to help the industry
grow in the correct way.
