WHATS SUBSEA ALL ABOUT?
What you say about me is none of my bizness!!!! Get dat!!!!
I agree with leshon, Subsea Engineering is your surest bet into the Oil & Gas Industry cos expertise is still relatively scarce and in high demand here.
Subsea engineering focuses on the deepwater issues of oil and gas exploitation. Operations have moved from relatively shallow water to depths that now demand totally different engineering solutions. The Subsea Engineering course addresses both the hardware that is used subsea, such as wellheads and separators, as well as important issues such as field layout, flow assurance and installation/maintenance.
