Health, Safety and Environmental Managem..

e regulations of risks to health, safety and environmental management that arise from the exploration and production works in the oil and gas industries are gaining more attention in the recent past. Necessity is felt to maintain good and healthy work-space for people on board and also protect the fragile ecosystem. The unregulated use of chemicals or other hazardous substances in oil and gas industries can challenge the technical work force's health at risk, causing various levels of discomfort in addition to causing catastrophic damage to the offshore assets.

HSE for offshore and petroleum engineers..

HSE for offshore and petroleum engineers - Practices. The course will give an overview of the safety and environmental issues in the petroleum industry. It will provide detailed understanding of the methods and techniques to resolve these key issues for making petroleum production and processing, cleaner and safer.

Offshore Structures Under Special Loads ..

Offshore structures under special loads including Fire resistance. ABOUT THE COURSE: ... These loads include earthquake loads, ice loads, shock and impact loads, ringing and springing wave loads and loads caused by crticial sea states.

Risk and Reliability of offshore structu..

Risk and Reliability of offshore structures. Considering the importance of offshore structures, one has to recognize that there are other intrinsic uncertainties such as material properties, analysis methods, design procedures etc, which are addressed rationally.

Structural Health Monitoring

Structural health monitoring (SHM) refers to the process of implementing a damage detection and characterization strategy for engineering structures. Here damage is defined as changes to the material and/or geometric properties of a structural system, including changes to the boundary conditions and system connectivity, which adversely affect the system's performance.

Ocean Structures and Materials

This book addresses the concepts of material selection and analysis, choice of structural form, construction methods, environmental loads, health monitoring, non-destructive testing, and repair methodologies and rehabilitation of ocean structures. It examines various types of ocean and offshore structures, including drilling platforms, processing platforms and vessels, towers, sea walls and surge barriers, and more.

Computer Methods Of Structural Analysis ..

Detailed analysis methods, as applicable to both 2dimensional and 3-dimensional structures will be discussed. While fundamentals of advanced structural analysis are discussed, detailed mathematical modeling of problem formulation and solution using MATLAB coding will be discussed. Codes for numeric examples will be also provided in the lecture notes. Hands-on experience of using Matlab will also be discussed. Focus is on explanation of fundamental concepts of advanced structural analysis, with special emphasis to its application to offshore structures.
