2015 has been our most successful
workshop to date. At a time when we are
experiencing a downturn in the oil price
it was critical that we get the message
to our Customers that we can help save
$$$’s using our Innovation & Technology.
The week was a great opportunity for
our staff to connect and share their
knowledge and in turn share that with
the wider O&G community.
INTECSEA Global Technology Workshop, KL, March 2015
1. On Sunday, 1st March 2015, twenty five global INTECSEA
& WorleyParsons employees gathered at the Traders
Hotel in Kuala Lumpur in preparation for our annual Global
Technology internal workshop. They met for dinner at
the hotel’s restaurant where introductions were made,
friendships quickly forged and jetlag conveniently ignored.
A full agenda was commenced at the KLCC (Kuala Lumpur
Convention Centre) at 8am on Monday 2nd March. Topics
included subsea processing, probabilistic design and
assessment methods, a novel new low motion FPSO,
lifecycle data management and advanced ECA methods.
The days were intense and included a number of breakout
sessions which drilled down on key innovations but the
main function of the week was to harness the collective
Global Technology Workshop 2015
technology knowlege and innovations within our global
company.
One of the highlights of the week was further sharing
that knowledge with our Customers. This happened on
Thursday, 5th March. Over 60+ Customers had registered
and we welcomed all that came (Petronas, UTP, MPRC,
Subsea7, OneSubsea, HESS, KPOC) to the KLCC to join us
for an ice breaker lunch and then into the more formal
agenda of the afternoon.
At 1.30pm we started off with a warm welcome from Steve
Lee (our SVP for Asia and the Middle East) and then into
our first presentation which was given by Philip Cooper
(INTECSEA Global Technology Director) and was a summary
of all the presentations we had given in our internal
workshop over the course of the week. He pointed out
2. each of the presenters in the room and suggested that if
there was a topic anyone was interested in hearing more
about (that wasn’t being presented in the next few hours
at this Open Day) that they could have a one on one with
them in the Sky Bar after. After Phil’s summary we moved
on to our offical Open Day presentations:
• State-of-the-Art Low Motion FPSO
• State-of-the-Art ECA for CRA Pipelines
• Probabilistic Pipeline Life Prediction
• Advances in Subsea Power Distribution
We then concluded with a Panel Discussion involving
Dr Shahreen (MPRC), Malcolm Manson (Subsea7),
Professor Kurian (UTP) and Chris Mole (WorleyParsons
Hydrocarbons Technical Director) and the topic was
“Innovation in a Low Oil Price Environment”. This
prompted some interesting discussion and debate and we
are very encouraged to find interest in a JIP collaboration
on one of the innovations presented in the workshop. All
then moved onto the world famous Sky Bar (pictured) for
further networking and knowledge sharing over some
local cuisine and beverages with a world class view of the
Petronas Twin Towers.
