Panel Discussion 8:30am – 10:00am in Red Oak Ballroom A/B

Implementing Disruptive Technologies in the Offshore Industry:

Successes, Lessons Learned and Impact Beyond Today The offshore industry is experiencing a transformation driven by disruptive technologies that promise increased productivity and

safety, better asset management, lower cost of operation and better business decisions. Successful implementation of these

technologies has however seen the obstacles of oil price collapse, psychology of change, customer readiness, fear of failure and data

security issues.

This panel will discuss current technology trends in the offshore energy market and factors that enable technology adoption. How is

the offshore industry different today from 10-20 years ago? Business models are transitioning to an increasing use of digital

technologies, big-data analytics and stronger emphasis on the environment, renewable energy and sustainability. How do regulatory

agencies influence innovation? What will the offshore industry look like 10 years from now? These are some of the topics that will

be addressed by the panel.

Lunch Keynote 12:00pm – 1:30pm in Magnolia

Floating Technology, expanding the potential of offshore wind

Mr. Antoine Peiffer, Vice President Engineering, Principle Power

Offshore wind represents an abundant source of clean and carbon-free energy with a great potential that has been largely untapped

in the US and the rest of the world. The offshore wind industry at its current development stage is fairly constrained by the water

depth limitations and is considered commercially viable only at shallow water sites with water depth under 60m. At these water

depths, offshore wind turbines are placed on top of bottom-fixed foundations that extend into the seabed.

Floating wind is the new frontier of the offshore wind industry that will unlock the deep-water areas and significantly expand the

potential of offshore wind. Recent technological advances and lifecycle cost reductions have enabled the developers to erect

increasingly large offshore wind turbines (10+MW) on floating platforms, such as the ones using WindFloat® technology developed by

Principle Power. With the access to better wind resource, increased site flexibility and suitability for challenging seabed conditions,

floating wind presents compelling characteristics that demonstrate its potential to grow exponentially. By the middle of this decade,

the floating wind industry is expected to lift off all around the world, where site conditions call for floating wind technology.

This keynote speech will start with an overview of the global offshore wind energy industry and the emergence of floating wind

technology. The WindFloat® technology development path from concept phase to pre-commercial phase will then be presented with

an emphasis on current major projects at Principle Power, highlighting successes, challenges and lessons learned.

the development of the WindFloat technology and led the Aero-Hydro Engineering Group in

charge of loads and motions computations for FEED and Detailed Design of most of Principle

Power’s pre-commercial projects. In his most recent role in Business Development, Antoine

aimed at generating sales of the WindFloat and creating a pipeline of commercial projects

around the world, by bringing technical expertise in early developments and assessing the supply chain readiness of future markets.

Antoine is now leading the Engineering team of Principle Power that is gearing up for the industrialization phase of floating wind.

Antoine is a graduate from the University of California at Berkeley under the Ocean Engineering and Naval Architecture program. He

was the chair of the Northern California section of the Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers (SNAME) in 2017-2018.

SNAME T&R Panels 2:00pm – 3:40pm in Live Oak

SNAME T&R Panel Chair: Jim Brekke (Brekke Offshore Consulting, LLC)

OC-6: Submersibles and Diving Equipment Contact – Roy Thomas, ABS ([email protected]) The OC-6 panel is proposing updates to the 1990 version of the SNAME textbook “submersible Vehicle Systems Design”, which continues to serve as one of the primary references for underwater industry professionals, as well as graduate and undergraduate students, and is affectionately referred to as the “Orange Book” owing to its orange color cover. In the thirty years since the publication of this textbook, there have been various developments in the field of manned submersibles. These include technological advances, updated requirements in Class Society rules and industry standards, and the development of specialized types of submersibles such as underwater flying submersibles and hadal zone rated submersibles. it is proposed that this textbook be updated to remain current and continue serving as a valuable reference to the underwater industry. Further the textbook could also be expanded to address other pertinent aspects of manned submersibles, such as fabrication, testing and operation.

OC-8: Wind Technologies Contact – Arjan Voogt, MARIN ([email protected])

The OC-8 panel has just issued a major revision of Bulletin 5-4 on “Guidelines for Wind Tunnel Testing”. This is a major update to the version last issued in 1988. In addition, a new bulletin the “SNAME CFD Guideline” is being prepared. This years’ OC-8 update focuses on the objective and content of this new CFD guideline and aims to provide a high level overview of the activities.

OC-9: Robustness of Floating Production Systems Contact – Brian Cheater, GustoMSC, an NOV company ([email protected])

The OC-9 panel has now issued Bulletin 5-6 on “Robustness of Floating Production Systems – Definitions and Philosophy” following dedicated effort by OC-9 participants starting in January of 2018. A joint-industry program has been discussed with key stakeholders with a view toward updating the existing bulletin through a phased joint-industry program, working with industry to consolidate current practices and document them in an updated version of the bulletin.

OC-10: Ocean Renewable Energy (SNAME Texas Section T&R Panel Chair) Contact – Jim Brekke, Brekke Offshore Consulting, LLC ([email protected]) The OC-10 panel was founded in June of 2018 to give SNAME a presence in ocean renewables as they relate to offshore energy. For the second year, this panel is co-organizing (with ASCE) a wind energy session at OTC. This follows a highly successful session at OTC 2019. The OC-10 presently has three subcommittees: wind turbine installation (WTI) jack-ups, marine hydrokinetics (wave energy, tidal energy, et al.), and floating wind energy installations. Interest in the hydrokinetics and floating wind energy subcommittees has grown as meetings have served to identify the potential roles of these panels.
