DEPARTMENT OF CIVIL ENGINEERING You are cordially invited to a seminar orized by Center for Offshore Research and Engineering, CORE and Department of Civil Engineering, NUS on Drilling from the Seabed by Jon Machin Manager Subsea ROV Systems, – Schlumberger Oilfield Abstract Much recent research associated with bringing oilfield services to extreme environments, such as the offshore arctic or the deepest extremeties of the ocean floor, is concentrating on the use of new generation remote control and robotic equipment. Such research spans widely through the disciplines of mechanical, electrical and robotic engineering. Jon Machin is currently advisor to Schlumberger, the major oilfield services supplier, and his career encompasses twenty years at the forefront of this technology both in senior research and industrial project roles. He will deliver a talk which provides an overview of these new technologies currently found both in operational usage, and applications under development. In particular he will describe a case study of a project recently completed, namely the development of a fully remote controlled seabed drilling unit.
