COURSE DIRECTOR
John E. Preedy PhD
Dr. John Preedy worked for BP for 28 years as a Research Associate and Team Leader, working on feasibility studies and acting as a trouble shooter covering all aspects of BPs businesses. His experience included field development projects in the North Sea and several novel resource recovery techniques which were taken from concept to field pilot trials in Canada. His specific work in the offshore area covered subsea robotics/ automation, seabed production concepts, seabed excavation methods, underwater repair techniques, flexible riser studies and maintenance cost reductions. Since leaving BP in 1992 John has continued working in the offshore oil industry through Azur Offshore Ltd., including activities in the assessment of emerging novel technologies, technical and economic audits, deepwater studies, production sharing agreement evaluations and safety and environmental issues. Clients have included Chevron UK, BP Exploration, British Gas, Tecnomare, Trident Consultants, Fina UK and Cameron France. As well as delivering training for IBC Academy, John is a regular university lecturer at the Cranfield School of Industrial Sciences (UK). In addition, he lectures on oil industry activities at ENSIETA (France), ECOLE NAVALE (France), the Technical University of Delft (Netherlands) and Ngee Ann Polytechnic (Singapore) where he is also an external examiner and course advisor. He is an active member of the UK Society for Underwater Technology (SUT) and serves on their Subsea Engineering and Operations Committee. John is the Course Director and Principal Lecturer for training courses provided by Azur Offshore to professional engineers.

Dear Colleague,
Offshore oil and gas fields are complex and capital intensive projects, involving specialised vessels and technologies, precise planning and extensive support mechanisms. The management of these operations must also take into account the critical issues of safety and environmental protection. Exploration and production are moving into ever-deeper waters and more challenging environments. The industry supporting them must therefore adapt to new technologies, increasingly specialised vessel design and more sophisticated management strategies. This distance learning course delivers the detailed knowledge needed to fully engage with this evolving sector which represents one of the fastestgrowing frontiers of global oil and gas. By successfully completing the programme, you will be able to: Interpret the importance of offshore exploration and production in the global petroleum context Understand the technical elements of searching and drilling for oil and gas Describe the phases, planning and management of subsea projects Analyse the design and operations of the diverse vessels supporting offshore production and the export of oil and gas Display up-to-date knowledge of the safety, environmental and contractual issues shaping the industry For anyone working in or alongside any part of the offshore oil and gas business, or looking to extend their career in a new direction, this course provides a convenient and comprehensive framework of detailed industry knowledge. It is also invaluable for those in the maritime industry looking for a greater understanding of the role of the many specialised vessels involved in the upstream and midstream oil and gas sectors. The Fundamentals of Offshore Field Development materials, available for download online, are filled with practical and up-to-date knowledge, richly illustrated with case studies, images and diagrams, with directed further learning throughout. Crucially for such a geographically diverse industry, the distance learning format lets you acquire knowledge wherever you are in the world, without taking time away from work. Expert tutorial support will be available throughout the course via the lively online tutorial forum, where you can interact with the course director, ask questions, participate in discussions and network with your fellow students from across the globe. I look forward to welcoming you onto this course.
