Customer Demands
1) Market evolving to spare Subsea Stacks per
Rig or operational area
2) Major components must be interchangeable
with much closer tolerances
3) 24 Subsea Stacks to deliver in 2013, and
expected 28 for 2014, and 2015 probable.

Challenges
■ Interchangeability
● Extremely challenged based on current design and
manufacturing methods of major structural frame
components
■ Actual fabricated tolerances now vary from ¼” best case to as much as ½” or more
variation
● To overcome variations, extra material stock, extra welding
and machining operations, as well as additional inspection
points are added to check warping, then corrections are
made during manufacturing and at the stack-pad.
■ Increases re-work at critical path assembly points on stack-pad;
further requiring hot work at height.

Configurable Stack –
Major Structural Components Test Fixtures
■ Design & fabricate (in-house) Test Fixtures/jigs that
allow fabrication of the main structural components in
a precise frame.
■ Ex. LMRP (upper)
Spider Pull Test
Assembly.

Configurable Stack Test Fixtures
Benefits
■ Tolerances held from 1/32” to 1/16”
■ Cuts direct labor cost a minimum of $250K per stack -
multiplied by 24 stacks annually saves $6.07 million per year
■ Significant elimination of scrap, rework, and wasted non-value
added operations – quality built in by design
■ Greatly decreases potentially unsafe operations by moving
almost all welding away from stack pad operations (heights) to
the production floor (ground level) at shop.
■ Contributes to overall reduction of Stack Pad Assembly cycle
time from 10-12 weeks to 6-8 weeks target with new
Configurable Stack Design.
10. One company … unlimited solutions
Configurable Stack Test Fixtures
Benefits Continued
■ Reduced errors, greater efficiency, and uninterrupted work
flow – work tasks in all departments performed the same way
on every project with highly repetitive, known tasks
■ All but eliminates dependence on outside vendors for pull
tests, smash tests, fabrication, and machining of major stack
structural components
■ In house manufacturing and testing of components reduces
cost and lead times, and improves quality
■ Stack assembly and alignment of components always
ensured – no modifications, no delays, rework reduced; major
structural components fit every time
