Description

This course contains the use of artificial intelligence.

Enhance your learning with newly added engineering resources designed for real-world implementation.

Access subsea engineering design templates, pipeline design checklists, risk assessment tools, integrity management frameworks, subsea equipment inspection forms, commissioning procedures, installation planning guides, failure analysis worksheets, engineering calculations, and practical implementation resources that support every phase of subsea system design, installation, operation, and lifecycle management.

The API RP 17 Series: Complete Subsea Systems Engineering course is a comprehensive professional training program designed to provide complete mastery of the American Petroleum Institute's API RP 17 Series standards governing subsea production systems. From subsea wellheads and Christmas trees to pipelines, risers, control systems, umbilicals, installation, commissioning, integrity management, and advanced subsea technologies, this course delivers a practical roadmap for designing, operating, and maintaining reliable subsea infrastructure that meets international engineering standards.

Developed with the support of AI-powered narration and visual learning content, this course transforms complex subsea engineering principles into practical, engaging lessons that combine industry best practices with real-world offshore applications.

Whether you are a subsea engineer, petroleum engineer, offshore project manager, mechanical engineer, marine engineer, pipeline engineer, drilling professional, integrity specialist, installation engineer, inspection professional, engineering student, or anyone involved in offshore oil and gas developments, this course provides the knowledge and practical skills required to confidently work with modern subsea production systems throughout their entire lifecycle.

Through six comprehensive modules, you will explore the complete API RP 17 Series family of standards, subsea production architecture, wellheads, Christmas trees, manifolds, subsea structures, flexible and rigid pipelines, risers, flow assurance, corrosion protection, subsea control systems, umbilicals, hydraulic and electro-hydraulic control systems, all-electric technologies, safety systems, installation methodologies, commissioning procedures, intervention operations, integrity management, decommissioning strategies, High-Pressure High-Temperature (HPHT) applications, deepwater engineering, Arctic operations, and international case studies from the Gulf of Mexico, the North Sea, Norway, Australia, and other major offshore developments. Every module combines engineering theory with practical implementation techniques, industry examples, and globally recognized best practices.


By the end of this course, you will be able to:

  • Understand the complete API RP 17 Series standards and their application throughout the subsea production system lifecycle.

  • Design and evaluate subsea production systems, wellheads, Christmas trees, manifolds, pipelines, risers, and subsea control systems using internationally recognized engineering practices.

  • Apply engineering principles for material selection, corrosion protection, flow assurance, structural integrity, and risk management in offshore environments.

  • Plan and manage subsea installation, commissioning, intervention, maintenance, inspection, integrity management, and decommissioning activities.

  • Evaluate advanced subsea technologies including subsea processing, pumping, compression, all-electric control systems, digital monitoring, and deepwater engineering solutions.

  • Improve operational reliability, regulatory compliance, asset integrity, and lifecycle performance using industry best practices and lessons learned from major offshore projects worldwide.

Rather than focusing solely on technical standards, this course develops the complete engineering mindset needed to successfully deliver complex subsea projects. You will gain practical knowledge that supports safer offshore operations, enhances equipment reliability, reduces operational risks, improves asset performance, and enables confident decision-making across engineering design, project execution, inspection, maintenance, and long-term subsea asset management.
