March 2010


Safe and Reliable Life Extension of Topside Equipment Offshore

Date: 18 March 2010
Event Type: 1 day Seminar
Location: London

Many offshore platforms, drilling, work over rigs and other facilities are past their original design life. But new technology and field enhancement has meant that they are required to continue operating. Changing properties of the fluids produced or additional wells require different processing and equipment in order to maintain production.



June 2010


New Nuclear Build: The Role of the Independent Nuclear Safety Regulator

Date: 03 June 2010
Event Type: Lecture
Location: London

HSE and the Environment Agency are working together to assess designs for new nuclear power stations that might eventually be built and operated in the UK.  The unique assessment process, known as Generic Design Assessment (GDA) is a four step process designed to allow for the assessment of the designs before major nuclear constructions starts, which improves overall regulatory effectiveness and minimises regulatory uncertainty.
This Lecture is free and open to all.



Subsea Engineering - Designing for Integrity and Operation

Date: 16 June 2010
Event Type: 1 day Seminar
Location: London

As offshore oil and gas developments move to deeper water and more remote locations subsea developments become the only option.  Subsea engineers must therefore work ever smarter to optimise the integrity of the equipment through good design whilst expanding the boundaries of operational capacity and availability. This seminar will examine operational challenges and share solutions to them, and provide an update on the best practice in subsea engineering design for integrity and operation.



October 2010


Carbon Capture and Storage - How is it working and what next?

Date: 13 October 2010 - 14 October 2010
Event Type: 2 day Seminar
Location: London

Key figures from industry will provide an update on policy, legislation, funding issues as well as the real challenges in CCS that still remain to be solved on day one. A series of case studies will be presented from actual operational plants in the UK, Europe and USA covering the whole spectrum of processing activities through capture, transport and storage, identifying the operational flexibility obtained and issues of equipment functionality on day two.



November 2010


Your Future in Mechanical Process Engineering - A free evening event to explore the options available for graduates

Date: 03 November 2010
Event Type: Lecture
Location: London

As a Mechanical Engineering Graduate the world is your oyster. The first term of the final year of any degree is a stressful time as students are just getting to grips with new topics in their course but are also starting to worry about the future and what is going to happen after graduation.

You need to be able to make an informed choice. The Institution of Mechanical Engineers are bringing together students, recent graduates, some longer serving engineers and companies looking to recruit Mechanical Engineers in an informal session.




Liquefied Natural Gas: A Review of the Challenges Facing LNG Terminal and Shipping Operators in the coming decade

Date: 17 November 2010 - 18 November 2010
Event Type: 2 day Seminar
Location: London

This two day seminar will bring together leading individuals and organisations who are, or who will be, active in the LNG industry. Day one will address a range of policy and planning issues which need to be determined before detailed designs can be developed. Day two will be dedicated to the technical and engineering aspects of LNG operations.



ATEX for Offshore Operations

Date: 23 November 2010
Event Type: 1 day Seminar
Location: Aberdeen

Industries that hold high-risk rates in relation to danger from fire, explosive atmospheres and exothermic reactions etc need to comply with DSEAR/ATEX regulations.
