 Join us in welcoming Roald Lokken to talk about Naval Architecture and Offshore Energy.The oil and gas industry has been producing from oil reservoirs under the ocean for more than a century, in ever deeper waters. Today, the deepest oil production comes from a reservoir beneath 9,500 of water in the Gulf of Mexico. Finding and producing oil and gas in these deep waters requires floating vessels, which are designed by Naval Architects. The talk will explain how industry finds and produces oil and natural gas from reservoirs below thousands of feet of ocean waters, and the role that Naval Architects play in this industry and in the newest offshore energy industry: wind.

Roald is a retired naval architect who spent his working career researching and designing offshore platforms for the oil and gas business. He is a Fellow of the Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers and is a docent at the Houston Maritime Museum and the Godfrey Windmill in Chatham. He was raised and educated in California, spent his working career in Houston, and has been a summer visitor to Chatham since 1990 and a summer resident since 2020.
He particularly enjoys sailing, kayaking, and fishing on the Cape. Roald has been sailing for 55 years now. He has been sailing at PBCB since 2018 and started skippering PBCB Simply Sails in 2025.
