Subsea pipelines are important structural elements for transferring hydrocarbons and other products. In recent decades, engineers and designers faced tremendous examples of global pipeline projects, breaking the boundaries of design, construction, and advancements of technical innovation.
This course includes tens of hours of videos that have been specially developed to fulfill the ongoing industrial and academic need for skilled and competent subsea pipeline engineering individuals. You need this course if you are one of the following people:
- A graduate student seeking a job in offshore industries
- A young engineer establishing competence in any area related to subsea pipelines
- A student or academician involved in research and education in offshore industries
- A client, policy-maker, surveyor, who needs to have an overall understanding of this field
- A business person involved in any products and services related to offshore industries
- A senior engineer or a professional judge seeking to expand his/her knowledge in this field
- A journalist, politician, media expert, writer, or editor who seeks a better understanding of this field
- A person interested in discovering amazing engineering challenges
The course will provide a comprehensive insight into the engineering and design of subsea pipelines. Depending on the topic, the course takes you from an introductory to medium, and deep exploration, through reviewing the theories and practical design examples. A broad range of topics is covered by this course including but not limited to methods, standards, route selection, hydraulic design, pressure containment, and wall thickness, system collapse, local buckling, on-bottom stability, materials selection, free spanning, pipeline geotechnics, thermal insulation, OPEX/CAPEX, maintenance and repair, safety and risk, construction and installation technics, and protection systems.
Course Instructor
Dr. Hodjat Shiri is a professor of offshore foundations and structures at the Memorial University of Newfoundland, St. John’s, NL, Canada. He joined the Memorial University as a faculty member and Wood Group Research Chair in Arctic and Harsh Environment Engineering in 2015 to establish a large research team and explore the impact of the Arctic subsea geohazards on buried pipelines. Before joining Memorial University, Dr. Shiri was in the offshore and subsea construction industries for more than fifteen years. During his attendance in the industry, he has made a strong record of accomplishment with a vast experience in a range of challenging offshore projects from Australia and the Middle East to North America with a size of 1$M to $10B, as design engineer, project engineer, project coordinator, project manager, projects leader, R&D director, and CEO. In industry and academia, he has initiated and led multimillion-dollar research and technology development projects. Some of these research works have been published in more than 80 journal and conference papers, and much more unpublished because of confidentiality. During the past two decades, he has trained many professional engineers, post-doctoral students, PhD students, MEng students, and a large number of undergraduate students in the area of subsea pipelines and risers. Dr. Shiri has been the editorial member of several national and international journals and served as a technical and scientific committee member in an extensive number of Canadian and international conferences. At Memorial University, he has led multi-million dollar research projects in the area of subsea risers, drilling risers, Arctic pipelines, offshore pipelines, subsea foundations, offshore geotechnics, unmanned aerial vehicles, artificial intelligence and soft computing, reliability assessment and probabilistic methods, advanced numerical modeling technics, centrifuge model testing, etc. He also has provided consultation services for several projects around the globe.
