Subsea Systems & Components



A Clear, Practical Introduction to Subsea Production Systems

Offshore energy production depends on one of the most advanced engineering systems in the industry: Subsea Production Systems (SPS). These systems operate quietly beneath the ocean surface—sometimes thousands of meters deep—connecting the reservoir to the topside facility through a network of equipment designed for reliability, safety, and continuous operation.

For many engineers and technical professionals, subsea engineering feels complex and difficult to approach. This course was created to make the subject clear, structured, and accessible, without oversimplifying or overpromising.


What You Will Actually Learn in This Course

The course provides a straightforward introduction to all key subsea systems, focusing on understanding how each component works and how everything fits together.

You will learn to:

✔ Understand the architecture of Subsea Production Systems (SPS)

How wells, trees, manifolds, pipelines, and processing equipment form a complete offshore production network.

✔ Identify and describe all major subsea components

Including:

  • X-Trees

  • Manifolds

  • PLETs & PLEMs

  • Jumpers

  • Pipelines

  • Risers

Each is explained clearly and visually so you can build an accurate understanding.

✔ Explore the Subsea Distribution System (SDS)

The part of the field that delivers power, control, and chemicals to all subsea equipment:

  • Umbilicals

  • Flying Leads

  • Subsea Control Modules

  • UTAs

  • TUTUs

✔ Learn how subsea systems interact with topside facilities

Including control rooms, production platforms, and communication pathways.

✔ Understand realistic operational challenges

Such as:

  • Pressure management

  • System reliability

  • Corrosion and material selection

  • Maintenance and inspection needs

No hype—just the essential engineering concepts.


Who This Course Is For

This course is suitable for:

  • Engineers entering the energy sector

  • Technicians joining offshore projects

  • Subsea and petroleum students

  • Anyone seeking a clear foundation in subsea systems

The focus is on clarity, practicality, and building the ability to visualize how a subsea field operates—from the reservoir to the topside facility.


A Straightforward, Structured Learning Experience

The teaching style relies on:

  • Clear explanations

  • Visual examples

  • Simple animations

  • Realistic field scenarios

The goal is not to turn you into a subsea expert overnight, but to give you the correct engineering foundation to understand subsea operations confidently.
