AMERICAN SOCIETY OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERS
OFFSHORE MECHANICS AND ARCTIC ENGINEERING. OMAE ? Houston Chapter November 13, 2001 Dinner Meeting Subject: MEETING THE CHALLENGES OFDEEPWATER MOORING Speaker: Robert E. Ettle Vice President of Engineering - SEACOR Marine Gulf of Mexico moored drilling units have moved from water depths of 2,600 feet in the 1980's to over 6,000 feet by now. This evolution has involved enhanced drilling units with combination wire-chain moorings, wires inserted into mooring legs, pre-laid mooring legs, and new, enhanced offshore support vessels. Moored drilling in far greater water depths is expected. SEACOR Marine's experiences in meeting these challenges in the Gulf of Mexico are described. Discussion will include engineering characteristics and operational capabilities of the latest generation of Anchor Handling Vessels. MR. ETTLE served on five U.S. Coast Guard Cutters; of these he commanded three. His Coast Guard shore assignments included search and rescue, oceanographic research, and port security. Mr. Ettle worked for a succession of offshore drilling contractors, first as a Rig Mover and subsequently as a Manager of Marine Operations. In the latter position, he was responsible for the worldwide mobilizations of drilling units for major offshore drilling contractors. Since 1997, he has been Vice President of Engineering for SEACOR Marine, an operator of over 300 offshore support vessels. MR. ETTLE holds a BS in Engineering from the U.S. Coast Guard Academy, a MS in Oceanography from the Naval Post-Graduate School, and an MBA from Kent State University.
