Keppel Professor Torgeir Moan
delivered the fourth Keppel
Offshore & Marine (Keppel
O&M) Lecture at the National
University of Singapore (NUS)
on 16 November 2006.
Prof Moan spoke about the challenges
of designing offshore production
systems for operations in harsh
ocean environments in the lecture,
entitled "Floating Production
Systems for Oil and Gas in Harsh
Environments". He attributed
this to the increased activities
as the search and production
of oil and gas moves into deeper
waters and more remote locations.
Prof Moan also discussed how
the issue could be addressed
with emphasis on the integrated
design of floaters, risers and
positioning systems. He also
outlined design targets relating
to serviceability and safety,
as well as the conceptual design
of typical floating systems.
The Keppel O&M Lecture
is jointly organised by NUS
and Keppel O&M under the
auspices of the Keppel Professorship
as a forum for exchanges between
academia and industry.
The Keppel Professorship aims
to promote greater interest
in the study and research into
offshore and marine technology
to further entrench Singapore's
leadership position in the offshore
and marine industry. Read more

Prof Moan is the leading expert
in offshore and marine structures
and the first Keppel Professor
in NUS. With over 25 years of
experience, he is also the leading
director at the Centre of Excellence
for Ships and Ocean Structure
at the Trondheim University
of Science and Technology.
