The Arctic regions have enormous resources of oil, gas, minerals and fish. They are politically, strategically and economically important to the all the circumpolar countries and to the world as a whole. They are also environmentally and socially sensitive, and any development requires a careful balance between the interests of outside investors, the local communities, the indigenous peoples, the regulatory environment and the natural environment.

| Objectives |
| |
The objective of this course is to be an introduction to Arctic engineering, mostly in the context of the production and transportation of oil and gas, but at the same time considering broader infrastructure. The course is not merely a 'familiarization' course with no technical content; but it will instead examine recent developments in critical technical areas such as ice mechanics, permafrost, ships in ice, and codes, in particular the recently-published ISO 19906. The course will be illustrated by the lecturers’ experience of completed projects and case studies in many parts of the world, among them the Canadian and Alaskan Arctic, Sakhalin and Kazakhstan.
|
|
| Who Should Attend |
| |
Most of the participants are expected to be engineers engaged with current or future projects in the Arctic regions, concerned with broad planning, conceptual design, and detailed engineering. The course will also be relevant to people who are not engineers but want to understand what engineers are planning, among them public officials, regulators, specialists in the environment, lawyers and potential investors.

Dr. Roger Basu is a structural engineer with more than 35 years’ experience. Before joining ABS in 1997, where he is currently Director of Research & Development, he worked in Canada for a naval architectural firm on ship design projects. He leads the harsh environment technology program in ABS, the main objective of which is to develop state-of-the-art methodologies and tools for the assessment of ships and offshore structures in ice covered waters. Dr. Basu holds a Ph.D. in structural engineering from the University of Western Ontario, London, Canada where he worked on wind effects on structures.
Dr. Ken Been is a Principal with Golder Associates in Houston. He played a leading role in investigation, design and construction in support of offshore exploration in the Canadian and Alaskan Beaufort Sea in the 1980s, including pipelines, sand and gravel islands, hybrid structures and spray ice islands. Dr. Been has been involved in design of offshore pipelines (mainly in ice environments) since 1989, most recently including projects off Sakhalin island and in the Caspian Sea. After graduating with a B.Sc. degree in civil engineering from the University of Cape Town, Dr. Been obtained a Ph.D from the University of Oxford where he was a Rhodes Scholar. He is Chairman of the Technical Committee for CSA S472 – Foundations for Offshore Structures and has contributed to the draft ISO Standard for Arctic Offshore Structures.
Ken Croasdale has been active since 1969 in developing the technology for offshore oil and gas operations in arctic environments. He spent 18 years with Imperial Oil managing their Frontier Technology Group and several years with Dome Petroleum and Petro Canada when they were active in the Beaufort Sea and East Coast Canada. He has specialized in ice interaction with offshore platforms. The experience gained in Canada has been applied to the Russian and Kazhakstan Offshore. He advised Public Works Canada on ice issues and ice loads on the Confederation Bridge. He is currently President of K.R. Croasdale & Associates. Mr. Croasdale has authored more than 80 technical papers on Arctic & offshore technology.
lenn A. Lanan is a Marine Pipeline System Technical Advisor for INTECSEA/Worley Parsons Group in Houston, Texas. Mr. Lanan has more than 33 years of experience with the design and construction of offshore pipelines and related facilities. His career focus has been on specialized pipeline applications such as deep water, environmentally sensitive areas, and marine pipelines with other technical and economic challenges. He has participated in all phases of international offshore Arctic pipeline engineering projects, starting in 1980. Career highlights for offshore Arctic pipelines include serving as INTECSEA's Project Manager for the BP Alaska Northstar pipeline project, the Sakhalin 1 De-Kastri terminal subsea loading line, Pioneer Natural Resources' Oooguruk offshore Arctic flowlines, the Eni Nikaitchuq Beaufort Sea flowlines and multiple offshore Arctic pipeline studies. He is presently working on a major pipeline FEED project in the Northern Caspian Sea
Professor Andrew Palmer is a consulting engineer. He retired in September 2005 as the Jafar Research Professor of Petroleum Engineering at Cambridge University, UK. Professor Palmer is a Fellow of the Royal Society, a Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering, and a Fellow of the Institution of Civil Engineers. He has been engaged in marine pipeline engineering for 35 years. He has taken a leading part in many pipeline projects in the North Sea, the Middle East, Canada, and the Far East, and is active as an expert witness. He is the author of more than 170 published papers on pipeline engineering, structures and geotechnics, of a book on structural mechanics, and with Dr Roger King of the new reference book, Subsea Pipeline Engineering.
