Brian McShane, INTECSEA's Senior Vice President for the Americas, spoke at the Trinidad and Tobago’s Energy Chamber’s workshop event on Thursday, 26 October 2017. Brian was part of the panel of speakers alongside Chris Gilcrease, BHP and Matteo Marchiori, Saipem. The three speakers set the context for the workshop, exploring all aspects required to deliver a deepwater development and how this correlated to local support needed to be successful.

Overview
Deepwater

3. Deepwater Activity – an evolving region
Trinidad
 Exploration wells drilled by BHP
during 2016 – LeClerc
(BHP/Shell) and Burrokeet
(BHP/BP). Results being
assessed
 BP are planning exploration in
the Columbus basin
 Continued exploration activity
Guyana
 Exploration continues to be
successful on Liza
 ExxonMobil moving forward with
Liza development. Project
sanctioned. First Oil 2020
 Seismic surveys:
 Completed in adjacent block
(ExxonMobil/Mid Atlantic/JHI)
currently under assessment
 More planned for other blocks
in 2017 (Repsol/Tullow)
Suriname
 Increased activity in block ownership
 Seismic program for deepwater
Block 58 (Apache) and Block 42
(HESS/Chevron /Kosmos)
 Drilling planned by Apache in Block
53

4. Floating Production - solutions in situ
Turret Type Mooring Spread Mooring
Risers enter the vessel via the geo-stationary turret with the
ship able to weathervane around it and head into the wind to
reduce motions, as well as ease offtake tanker issues.
The moored tanker is aligned with the prevailing weather and
risers can be brought up over the vessel sides. It is cheaper
but may require a separate offloading buoy.

7. Project Management – Owner provides resources and
systems and augments team from market service
providers
Engineering – Concept, preFEED, FEED and Detailed
Engineering (Competitively bid or enabled via frame
agreements)
Floating Facility – Topsides and Hull – Typically
executed as an Engineer Procure Construct Install
contract (Design Competition moving to Fixed Price
Turnkey offer).
Subsea Equipment – Trees, Connectors, linepipe,
umbilicals, valves etc. - Specialty manufacturers located
on a global footprint
Delivery Packages

8. Fabricated structures – Suction piles, subsea
sleds/structures, spool pieces/jumpers etc. Provided by
fab yards either for the owner or the installation
contractor
Installation – Pipelay vessels, heavy lift vessels,
DP/ROV/Survey Support vessels, barges – Specialty
vessels engaged on various delivery packges
PreCommissioning/Commissioning – High volume
compressors/Nitrogen membranes required to hydrotest
and dewater the systems and introduction of
hydrocarbons
Operations/Marine Support – Systems and Personnel
with experience to operate facility
Delivery Packages
Deepwater

9. Potential Local
Opportunities

10. Project Management and Engineering – Partner with
Deepwater service provider work together on various
engineering services and phases of projects.
 Engineering – Design of subsea pipelines using specialized tools.
Engineering analysis typically 2k to 5k manhours per package –
subsea structure, pipeline design, riser design, flow assurance
 Project Management – Cost control, scheduling, project
management – agreements, execution plan, workscope definition,
bid packages, Management of Change etc.
Potential Local Opportunities

11. Fabricated structures – Expand capability to deliver
structures associated with Deepwater developments
 Fabrication yard and equipment – cranage, laydown area,
engineered foundation materials management, labor relations
 Craft capabilities –Welding, NDE, lifting, skidding
 System Integration Testing onshore
 Load out – Deep draught dock, load out skids, craneage, rigging
 Seafastening
Potential Local Opportunities

12. Operations/Marine Support – Expand onshore capability
to support installation program and facility operation
 Shorebase
 Warehousing
 Marine vessels/ROVs
 Operations personnel
 Asset Management
Potential Local Opportunities

13.  To deliver the most CAPEX efficient projects and need to provide services
that compete in a global market
 Certainty of Delivery is critical to successful projects and associated due
diligence and confidence in achieving deadlines is imperative
 Confidence in the quality of work product is critical to project
performance
 Draw on our passion and pioneering spirit
