Deepwater Riser Installation Software (OrcaFlex) Training

Petrocarbon Engineering Limited, a UK based  company with branch office in Nigeria is pleased to announce the next OrcaFlex Software Training, taking place in Lagos and Port Harcourt.

OrcaFlex is the world’s leading software package developed by Orcina for the dynamic analysis of offshore marine systems. It performs both static and dynamic analysis of a wide range of offshore systems, including all types of marine risers (rigid and flexible), global analysis, moorings, installation and towed systems.

Petrocarbon Engineering Limited is an independent firm established in 1997 to provide Offshore & Subsea project design and analysis services to the oil and gas industry. Our training and manpower development branch was created in response to the demand for capacity building and higher technical competency in the oil and gas industry.

Deepwater Riser Installation Software (OrcaFlex) Training

About The Training

• This training gives you a comprehensive understanding of how to use the OrcaFlex software for model design and dynamic analysis of offshore marine and subsea systems
• Participants will learn how to model different types of risers, mooring lines and flexibles and how to analyze for fatigue damage and vortex induced vibration (VIV).
• Participants will also learn about floating platforms impact on the design and installation of subsea equipment.

Who Should Attend?

1. This course will be of great benefit to experienced professionals in the oil and gas industry involved in the design, installation and operation of subsea pipes, risers and mooring lines.
2. The course would also be very useful to oil and gas industry enthusiasts with a desire to work in the offshore marine systems design and analysis job sector.
