Engineering the Future: AI, Simulation, and Materials Innovation for Energy & Offshore Industries

Join us for an exclusive technical Half-Day Lunch & Learn event:

Date: Thursday, 11 June 2026

Location: Sofitel Jumeirah Beach Residence, Dubai

Format: In-Person Technical Briefing & Networking Lunch

The oil & gas industry continues to face increasing pressure to improve operational reliability, reduce downtime, strengthen asset integrity, and accelerate engineering decisions, all while navigating evolving sustainability goals, operational complexity, and tighter project timelines.

As energy organizations continue investing in digital transformation initiatives, AI-powered engineering, high-fidelity simulation, workflow automation, and intelligent materials management are becoming critical technologies for improving operational performance and enabling more proactive engineering strategies.

Join Fluid Codes for an exclusive Lunch & Learn session in Dubai focused on how advanced digital engineering technologies are helping oil & gas organizations operate smarter, safer, and more efficiently across the entire asset lifecycle.

This technical session will explore how engineering teams are leveraging simulation-driven workflows, automation frameworks, and intelligent materials platforms to accelerate innovation, improve engineering consistency, optimize performance, and reduce operational risk across upstream, midstream, downstream, marine, and offshore environments.

Why Attend?

Engineering organizations today are expected to deliver faster and more accurate results while managing increasingly complex operational environments and limited engineering resources.

Traditional engineering workflows are no longer sufficient to meet the growing demands for reliability, efficiency, speed, and sustainability.

This Lunch & Learn will provide practical insights into how leading energy companies are using advanced engineering technologies to:

Improve asset integrity and operational uptime
Predict and mitigate failures earlier
Accelerate engineering analysis and design cycles
Reduce repetitive manual engineering tasks
Improve decision consistency across teams
Scale simulation capabilities across broader engineering organizations
Optimize marine and offshore system performance
Strengthen materials governance and sustainability initiatives

Attendees will gain valuable technical insight into how AI-powered simulation and digital engineering workflows are enabling faster, more informed, and more reliable engineering decisions.

Agenda

08:30 - 09:15 - Registrations & Networking Breakfast

09:15 - 09:30 - Introduction and Session Opening

09:30 - 10:00 - AI-Powered Digital Engineering for Asset Integrity and Operational Reliability in Oil & Gas

Oil and gas continue to serve as essential global energy sources. R&D investments are increasingly directed toward improving system reliability, strengthening asset integrity, and predicting failures earlier to reduce operating expenses and maximize uptime.

Learn how modern AI-powered digital engineering tools along with high-fidelity multi-physics simulations enable oil and gas organizations to operate smarter, safer, and more efficiently, driving higher reliability and sustained uptime across the asset life cycle.

10:00 - 10:30 - Engineering Certainty at Sea: Simulation-Driven Design and Performance Optimization for Marine and Offshore Systems

Modern ship and offshore structure design demands simultaneous optimization across hydrodynamic performance, structural integrity, fuel efficiency, and regulatory compliance, often under aggressive project timelines. This session explores how Ansys’ physics-based solvers are leveraged for seakeeping analysis, performance prediction, hull and topside design optimization, and rapid evaluation of multiple configurations through automated simulation workflows.

12:00 - 12:30 - Networking Break

11:00 - 11:30 - Accelerating Engineering Decisions: Workflow Automation and Simulation App Development

Organizations are under constant pressure to deliver faster, more consistent results across increasingly complex project portfolios, yet simulation capability often remains concentrated in the hands of a few specialists. This session demonstrates how Ansys automation frameworks enable teams to build custom simulation applications, parameterized workflows, and easy-to-use tools that eliminate repetitive setup, reduce human error, and extend high-fidelity analysis across the broader engineering organization. Attendees will explore how workflow automation is helping energy teams shorten design cycles, improve decision consistency, and scale their simulation capability without scaling their headcount.

11:30 - 12:00 - Materials Sovereignty: Qualification, Localization, and Circularity in Middle East Oil & Gas

Achieving true industrial sovereignty in the region's energy sector requires more than local manufacturing; it demands full command over materials data, qualification processes, and supply chain decisions. This session explores how a centralized materials intelligence platform empowers organizations across the sector to qualify local and sustainable materials with confidence, accelerate composites and advanced alloy adoption, and establish the data governance foundation required for ESG compliance and circular economy commitments.

12:00 - 12:15 - Closing remarks

12:15 - Prayer & Networking Lunch
