Module 1. Subsea Wells – Planning and Safe Operation of Well Life Cycle Operations
£1,500.00
Customer groups will be formed to develop knowledge of subsea operations supporting a range of project and field development for operations engineers, field technicians, asset management and maintenance engineers (onshore and offshore personnel) with specialist support training.
This training is industry recognised and a certificate of competency will be provided to all course delegates who demonstrate the necessary skill sets, qualifications, experience and knowledge. The training will be captured as part of the CPD logged training.
10% Special Discounts on the Training Services will be available to members of the Society for Underwater Technology SUT and/or the Global Underwater Hub or the IMarEST for bookings received and registered in 2026.
Still available is our Group Booking Discount which offers 20% off. Applicable across Modules 1 thru 4 and a new Module 2 syllabus for Marine Robotics Vehicle Training AUV and Subsea Robotics specialists which includes Aquaculture assets.
All group bookings must include a minimum of 12 candidates per course module. Plus there will be an emphasis to help training personnel to work alongside an Operational Digital Twin of your Assets using Virtual Reality (VR) via Headsets to Augmented Reality (AR) modes as part of our SeaFlo iTwin Digitalisation Energy Transition. With an amended Module 4 syllabus taking into account the subsea and marine equipment for Floating Offshore Wind Assets across the Energy Transition Zone we are amidst.
Course Overview
Module 1 focuses on providing candidates with a knowledge of planning and safe operations associated with light well interventions and maintaining subsea wells/asset integrity, in life cycle of operations.
It provides a duration of 4 days (32 hours) of recognised logged training towards subsea professional engineer or chartered engineer status (C.Eng), marine or subsea technologist.
Assessment:
Each course module has specific competency assessment measures which lead to an examination on the final day of the course.
Module 1 Contents
- Planning a subsea light well intervention programme.
- Subsea simulator supported models of running and retrieval operations of subsea safety packages, subsea lubricators, safe well entry on subsea XT’s, well isolations, barrier testing.
