Subsea Systems in Oil and Gas — Practical Guide for Offshore Engineers

Subsea systems are essential to offshore oil and gas production. They control wells, manage flow, and connect subsea infrastructure to surface facilities in deepwater and ultra-deepwater environments.

This course provides a clear and practical introduction to subsea oil and gas systems, explaining how Subsea Production Systems (SPS) and Subsea Distribution Systems (SDS) are structured, connected, and operated in real offshore projects.

What you will learn

In this course, you will:

- See The Subsea System in Industrial Animation

- Understand the architecture of subsea production systems (SPS)
- Identify key subsea components, including subsea trees, manifolds, PLETs, PLEMs, jumpers, pipelines, and risers
- Understand subsea distribution systems (SDS) such as umbilicals, flying leads, subsea control modules, UTAs, and TUTUs
- See how subsea systems interface with offshore platforms and surface facilities
- Understand key operational challenges, including pressure control, reliability, corrosion, and maintenance

Who this course is for

This course is ideal for:

• Offshore, subsea, mechanical, and pipeline engineers

• Engineers new to subsea oil and gas projects

• Professionals seeking a structured understanding of subsea systems and components

By the end of this course

You will be able to confidently visualise, describe, and explain how a subsea oil and gas field operates, using correct engineering concepts and terminology applied in offshore projects.
