What is subsea engineering?

Subsea engineering is a specialized field that deals with the design, installation, and management of underwater systems. These systems include oil rigs, wells, and pipelines, and are crucial for extracting valuable resources from beneath the ocean floor.

Subsea engineers are responsible for developing and installing various underwater systems, ranging from oil and gas extraction equipment to pipelines and communication networks. Their duties typically involve designing and developing complex underwater systems, installing and maintaining these systems, managing subsea projects, solving problems, and staying current with industry trends and advancements.

At Wood, subsea engineering involves various activities such as system engineering, the design of pipelines, subsea structures, drilling, marine terminal, and integrity management. Young engineers in this field have the opportunity to learn from experienced engineers globally and work on projects that span the entire lifecycle, from early phases to decommissioning.
