Objectives

• In late 2012, General Electric (GE)challenged Expro’s subsea product line withdelivering a complex deepwater (up to1,700 meters) electro-hydraulic subseasafety system to be used in their WestAfrican operations, Block 15/06 – part of acontract with Eni

Expro Excellence

• Production of a system satisfying designrequirements and delivery in time forsubsea operations commencing in 2014,delivered by a multinational team split overtwo locations – Aberdeen and Luanda

• Building a highly skilled operational teamwith an in depth knowledge of electro-hydraulic systems

• Reacting to an exceptional scenario when acomplete landing string was lost overboardduring severe Atlantic storms - Exproreplaced the lost system in record timepreventing any delay in the well completionprogram

• Final equipment testing coincided with thefinal commissioning of our new facility inLuanda, which required detailed planning to

ensure the delivery of equipment andfacilities were not compromised

• In June 2014 the subsea safety system wasdelivered on schedule and successfullycompleted a comprehensive set ofacceptance tests before going operational

• Operations were conducted in an efficientmanner optimising rig up time and efficiency

Value to client

• Delivery of a complex, deepwater, electro-hydraulic subsea safety system with waterdepths of up to 1,700 meters, overcomingunique challenges

• Expro delivered the equipment on time,equipment running time exceeded targetedefficiency, and avoidance of non-productivetime (NPT) during the execution of the work

• ENI has now started production of first oilfrom Block 15, with the field currentlyproducing 45,000 barrels of oil per day, withan expected daily production of up to100,000 forecast

• Block 15 discoveries were developed in anindustry-leading timescale of only 44months from the Declaration of CommercialDiscovery

Expro overcame numerous challenges and mitigated risk with rapid deployment of originalsolutions including:

• Sourcing and securing fleet assets to deliver a replacement back-up landing string whenthe original was lost as the result of an extreme storm during shipment to Angola - Expromanaged through rapid reallocation and procurement of resources without impacting otheroperational requirements

• An Expro first; the vertical testing of the back-up landing string as part of a systemintegration test alongside third-party equipment had never been done before at Expro’sLuanda facility, resulting in the implementation of new health and safety processes andprocedures to ensure incident-free equipment verification

• Liaising with Eni and Saipem to implement/incorporate 40 critical actions required on theScarabeo 9 rig prior to the Expro system being utilised offshore

• The expansion of our facilities and capability in Luanda to ensure first class service supportduring the full field development
