Arctic oil and gas resources represent the next big chapter in offshore development. Yet, the development of these resources remains challenging in terms of engineering, construction and installation, and related logistics. Dr. Shawn Kenny, the Wood Group Chair in Arctic and Harsh Environments Engineering and Associate Professor at Memorial University in St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador, will present an overview of practical engineering solutions that will allow oil and gas operators to safely and efficiently work in Arctic offshore environments. He will be joined by G. Abdel Ghoneim, PE, PhD, Det Norske Veritas, who will provide an update on industry activities for these regions, including the latest on ship classification; fixed and floating drilling/production unit classification; third-party verification; environmental assessments/risk analysis; and ice/ship interaction. The third speaker will be Joe Gagliardi, Arctic Solutions and Technology Director, ION Geophysical Corp., and he will discuss the challenges of acquiring and processing seismic data in Arctic environments.

This webinar will discuss how Samson and DSM Dyneema(R) have collaborated to develop a unique, patented 5-strand rope made with Dyneema(R) fiber designed specifically to withstand the rigors of deepwater lower and lifting. We will discuss how this rope offers all the best characteristics of Dyneema(R) while mitigating the negative affects of heat and wear associated with cyclic bending over sheave (CBOS) applications. We will discuss how testing has been performed on this new solution and the greater than six fold improvement in the life of the rope over the traditional hollow braid, particularly where active heave-compensation systems are employed.
