The exploitation of offshore resources will play a strategic role in the future of mankind. The
European Union has promoted the “Blue Growth” program to promote the valorization of
biotic and abiotic marine resources. A sustainable valorization of renewable and conventio-
nal offshore energy resources may give a relevant contribution to balance the overall energy
demand. The exploitation of marine bioresources combined to the improvement of coastal
infrastructure can be a key to the economic development. Improved offshore technologies
will be needed to realize such scenario.
A growing demand for the development and installation of innovative offshore structures,
systems and facilities as well as of coastal infrastructures is experienced. Speci'ic technical
problems arise when offshore structures and plants need to be designed and installed, also
concerning safety and environmental issues that arise when operating in the marine context.
The challenge for a sustainable exploitation of offshore resources requires highly quali'ied
professionals, prepared to operate in an international context, ready to cope with advanced
design techniques and to tackle the improvement and optimization of off-shore operations in
harsh environments.
The two years Master Program in Offshore Engineering (Laurea Magistrale in Ingegneria Off-
shore) offered by the University of Bologna was built to meet these needs, forming highly
quali'ied professionals able to work in the framework of design and operation of offshore
structures, systems and processes, and mastering the key enabling technologies for the su-
stainable exploitation of offshore resources.
The program is entirely offered in English. Since the 'irst year, the program offers three diffe-
rent tracks:
• the track addressing Offshore Energy Technologies, dedicated to the design and opera-
tion of offshore technologies and processes for renewable energies and Oil&Gas, as well as
for the exploitation of marine bioresources;
• the track addressing Offshore Structures, dedicated to the design, installation, mana-
gement and maintenance of offshore and maritime structures and systems for the exploita-
tion of fabrication techniques, structures assembling, conventional and renewable energies;
• the track addressing Environmental Offshore Engineering, dedicated to the assess-
ment and management of environmental and safety issues in the design and operation of off-
shore structures, technologies and systems.
The program is promoted in the framework of an intense cooperation with companies active
in the offshore sector. The topics of the courses offered were speci'ically de'ined to meet both
the requirements of a high-ranked engineering preparation and to answer the professional
needs of companies.

The University of Bologna
The institution that we today call the University of Bologna was the 'irst university in the
western world, taking shape in Bologna at the end of the eleventh century.
In line with this strong tradition,
the University of Bologna is now
one of the most important and best
reputed amongst Italian
universities. Bologna is
characterised by the largest Italian
medieval historical city centre, and
is very friendly to the 80.000
students that constitute the 16% of
its population.

The Ravenna Campus: a strong territorial vocation
The 'irst of its kind in the Italian university system, since 1989 the Alma Mater Studiorum
has been structured as a Multicampus: the Bologna Campus works alongside the
Campuses in Cesena, Forlı̀, Ravenna and Rimini. Every Campus has a strong territorial
vocation with its own structures and services dedicated to learning activities,
cultural and sporting events and associations. Every Campus has Schools, Departments
and Local Organisational Units. Every Campus coordinates the services and initiatives
supporting teaching and research, actively and organically liaising with public and private
stakeholders, and therefore represents an essential driver of socio-economic growth
in the territory it operates in. Topics of
Ravenna, the natural seat for

an Offshore specialisation
Ravenna represents the tradition and

the history of offshore in the Medi-
terranea sea. The offshore industry
arose in Italy and in Ravenna from
gas extraction in the Adriatic Sea,
started by ENI in the second half of
the 1950s. From then on, Ravenna
has become one of the most impor-
tant global hub for Offshore compa-
nies, specialised in extraction plants
construction and shipyards. Today,
companies in the area of Ravenna are
international competitors working
The Master Program in Offshore Engineering is run in collaboration with Fondazione Flami-
nia, a body established in 1989 to support the development of the Ravenna Campus by pro-
moting synergies between institutions and companies of the offsore sector.
Since 1993, the Offshore Mediterranean Conference (OMC) takes place in Ravenna every two
years. More recently, the Renewables Energy Mediterranean (REM) conference was establi-
shed, focusing on Offshore Renewable Energies. The OMC and REM conferences promote and
support the evolution of the of'hore energy industry by offering a place for discussion on re-
search, development, technology achievements and future challenges in the energy sector.
For these reasons, Ravenna is the natural seat for a degree in Offshore Engineering. The best
combination between academic training and high-level professionalism is achieved here. On

framework;
• the Environmental sector: the marine environment is a fragile ecosystem and the
sustainable exploitation of marine energy resources and marine bioresources requires highly
skilled professionals able to assess and manage environmental and safety issues;
• the Construction sector: the design, construction and installation of off-shore structures and
processes requires to master speci'ic procedures and methods;
• the Marine Biotechnology and Aquaculture sector, with its evolution towards large-scale
production, has a growing requirement of quali'ied engineers able to support the
industrialization of off-shore biotechnological processes and their operations;

Marine Renewable Energies
6 ECTS
Objectives
The course aims to provide tools and skills for the design and management of ocean struc-
tures and the assessment of their impacts. In particular the student will be able to design
ocean structures, as offshore structures (fixed and floating) and their interaction with waves.
The conversion of energy from the sea (waves and currents) will be treated. The student will
be able to perform a simple assessment of the energy resource, and will gain the basic
knowledges on the typology of energy converter from the ocean.

and reserves; production and consumption. Overview of Exploration & Production industry
(Upstream). Oil and gas exploration techniques. Introduction to oil well drilling and production
engineering. Petrophysical properties of petroleum reservoir rocks. Porosity, permeability, sa-
turation, capillary pressure, wettability. Reservoir fluids distribution. Laboratory measure-
ments and laboratory practice.
Part 2
Thermodynamic classification of hydrocarbon reservoirs. Phase behavior and reservoir distri-

bution of petroleum fluids. Fundamentals of fluid flow in porous media. Flow equations. Simu-
- Elective courses
lation of reservoir behavior using numerical modeling: basic concepts of discretization, nume-
rical simulation of single-phase and multi-phase flow, model calibration and history matching.
