Production & Produced Water Systems Production & Produced Water Systems SPE Dinner Meeting – 30 th November 2010 Marginal Field Development Using Lease Operate and Maintain Facilities
Agenda Introduction Why Use a LOM Facility Typical Contracting Arrangements Project Examples
Production & Produced Water Systems The Production & Produced Water Systems group provides; Early Production Facilities on a lease, operate, maintain (LOM) or equipment sale basis Life of Field (Permanent Production) facilities, delivered on a “Fast Track” EPC basis with design life from 10 to 25 years. Facilities are purpose built or existing facilities can be mobilized The business unit has in house engineering, design and procurement capabilities and will deliver a completed plant, fully commissioned on a ‘fast track’ basis Cumulative production of the GBU’s delivered facilities equate to over 200,000 bbls per day and more than 400 MMSCFD Technical testing solutions where the parameters are challenging; HPHT, heavy oil, high gas condensate wells, solids production, high water production The business unit will also provide resources and equipment for debottlenecking, water handling and FEED studies Integrates with other WFT service lines to provide a seamless drill to production service
Early Production Systems – Fast Track Approach Expedient Project Execution; Engineering continues through bidding phase Pre-qualified vendors Skid packaged equipment to avoid stick build at site The use of existing refurbished equipment not precluded Use of ‘Standard Inventory’ and supplier specifications Engineering confirms ‘fit-for-purpose’ designed for field life Client engagement throughout Project team involved from tender stage through to commissioning
Engineering & Design Design has access to the latest computational process & facilities analysis software and can perform; Process Simulations Hydraulic Analysis Structural Analysis Pipe Stress Analysis Vessel Design Heat Exchanger Design Electrical Design & Load Calcs Storage Tank Design Civil Engineering
Engineering & Design Through the use of 3D CAD software, the entire facility can be modelled with a view to; Minimising space requirements Reducing equipment clashes Minimising Hook-up time Minimising interconnecting pipework Automatic generation of engineering deliverables i.e. isometrics, BOM etc. Site preparation
Why Use a LOM Facility The LOM facilities typically will; Stabilize and/or treat produced hydrocarbons to export conditions Provide earlier cash flow from a new or re-developed field Provide detailed reservoir data from extended testing, sampling and draw down Be flexible in terms of productions rates (turndown/up) Be engineered, safe, fit for purpose, and available on a fast track basis Provide satisfactory uptime over the life of the contract Be commercially viable at varying energy prices Be available on a LOM basis, or Lease to Purchase basis
Why Use a LOM Facility Operator Advantages One Stop Shop – Service Company Provides complete turn key solution Reduced Development CAPEX requirements Improved Cash Flow
Why Use a LOM Facility Operator Advantages Existing Infrastructure – Service company already has In-country infrastructure Security arrangements in-place Experienced fast track engineering, project and operations personnel Existing specifications and procedures Access to existing equipment In House Logistics
Why Use a LOM Facility Operator Advantages Functional Specification only required, Operator only needs to define Flowing wellhead conditions Well fluid compositions Expected production rates and profile Export conditions Any additional requirements Location
Why Use a LOM Facility Existing inventory of equipment that can be mobilised at short notice for use in Early Production Facility Projects where appropriate Accelerated Mobilisation Proven Technology Inventory of Spare Parts Replacement of Equipment Available at International Locations
Why Use a LOM Facility In-house Services where required e.g. Hydro Testing Leak Detection (N2/He, Air/He, N2) Nitrogen Services – Membrane Nitrogen Services – Cryogenic Bolting and Machining Services Oil Flushing Services Chemical Cleaning Services Drying Services – Air/N2/Vacuum Cold Cutting & Retrojetting Services Inspection services
Why Use a LOM Facility Operations & Maintenance Developed HSE-QC systems and practises Strong and varied track record of production operations Service company culture National and international purchasing capabilities Large pool of competent engineers & operators Large pool of personnel for round the clock back-up
Contracting Arrangements Lease Operate and Maintain Lease Operate and Maintain with Purchase Option EPIC with Operations
Contracting Arrangements Lease Operate and Maintain Facility provided on a fixed term contract (usually with extension options) Payments comprise Initial fees for engineering and mobilisation Operating dayrate Standby rate De-mobilisation fee Agreed number of downtime/maintenance days per annum Penalties for exceeding number of downtime days Bonus for increasing uptime days Performance targets System Capacity & Availability Product Quality Safety
Contracting Arrangements Lease Operate and Maintain Initial fees for engineering and mobilisation Schedule of payments against agreed milestones Issue P&IDs, Layout etc o Order Long Lead equipment o Equipment mobilised to site o Mechanical Completion o Operating dayrate Payment when facility is available for operation Includes Maintenance and Spares Consumables optional Standby rate Payment if Client wishes to suspend operations De-mobilisation fee Lump Sum fee at end of contract

Project Examples – Nexen, Yemen CLIENT: Nexen, Yemen FIELD: Block 51 YEAR: 2005 TYPE: Early Production Facility SCOPE: Lease, Operate & Maintain In 2005 Weatherford Oil Tool Middle East, was awarded a contract to supply and operate an early production facility ahead of permanent facilities on the Nexen Block 51 Field, Yemen. The production facilities was constructed and installed within a record 24 weeks. Initially the process facilities were designed to process 15,000 bbl/day but due to delays In the completion of the permanent Production facilities, the process plant was upgraded to 40,000 bbl/day. The Early Production Facility was operational for a period of 2 years with a 99.9% uptime.
Project Examples – Total, Yemen CLIENT: Total, Yemen FIELD: Kharir YEAR: 2009 TYPE: Early Production Facility SCOPE: Build, Operate & Transfer The facility supplied was capable of processing 30,000 bbls/day of crude with 50% water cut requiring water treatment and desalting/dehydration facilities. The entire process facility was mobilized and Constructed within 26 weeks from contract award. All site civil works were included in the Contract. The facility was successfully commissioned and operated by an entire production infrastructure mobilized to Yemen to support the project.
Project Examples – Total, Yemen The scope of supply for the project included; Engineer, procure, mobilize, install, commission contract for a 30,000 bpd facility. Utilization of existing process vessels to meet an aggressive schedule. Project manage all construction activities inclusive of civil’s. Equipment procured from international vendors, built in modular units to minimize installation time on site. Customer received first oil within 26 weeks from contract award in challenging environment.
