Activities in the North !!!
31 March, 2014Slide 4
• Statoil / BP establishing new base at Sandnessjøen
• Aker Solutions represented in the North
• Yard - Sandnessjøen
• Engineering Services - Tromsø and Sandnessjøen
• Subsea service base – Hammerfest
• Templates built in Sandnessjøen
• Wherever there are some action –
Aker will be there!!

Technical Challenges
■ No nearby existing infrastructure - opens a new region in the
Norwegian Sea
■ Harsh weather conditions
■ High wind and big waves
■ Short operational windows
- driving costs
■ Deepest subsea project
on NCS - ~1350m
■ Challenging soil conditions –
very soft
 AKER to find solutions for:
 Weight reductions
 Reducing risk for Statoil being stopped by weather

Deep Water and Harsh Weather
■ Typical deep water solutions too expensive - very high installation costs
■ Typical NCS harsh weather solutions not suitable for AHa deep water
31 March, 2014Slide 6
Typical Deep Water (e.g. Dalia):
• Cluster layout - spools from Satellite Trees to Manifold
• Guidelineless installation of XT, BOP and WOS
• No trawling activities
• Friendly weather conditions (Africa, Brazil, Asia)
Typical Harsh Weather (e.g. Kristin):
• Integrated Template/Manifold solution
• Trees inside overtrawlable structure
• Guideline installation of XT, BOP and WOS
• Shallow water - down to 500m
• Harsh weather conditions (Norway)

7. © 2013 Aker Solutions Preferred partner
Typical XT Installation Methods
■ Neither of these methods sufficiently good for Aasta Hansteen
31 March, 2014Slide 7
Typical Deep Water (e.g. Gimboa):
- Guidelineless installation from vessel
- Light Tree Running Tool on wire
Typical Harsh Weather (e.g. Kristin):
- Guideline installation through moonpool
on drilling rig
- Tree Running Tool on drill pipe

8. © 2013 Aker Solutions Preferred partner
■ New Toast Rack Template design
■ Enables guidelineless installation of XT, BOP and WOS
 handles harsh weather conditions
■ Eliminates need for spools connecting Trees to Manifold
 less marine installation cost
■ Intervention Philosophy and Tooling designs optimized to reduce number of
trips up and down from the surface, e.g.:
■ ROV-operable guide post extensions parked on manifold
■ Multi-purpose tooling basket
Solution for combination of Deep Water & Harsh Weather

SUM UP – deep water project with a North Sea twist…
■ Harsh environmental conditions limits
weather window and operational time
■ Deep water
■ Design optimized to minimize offshore
operations and costs
■ Single pile template solution
■ No trawl protection
■ Guideline less installation (toast-rack)
■ Optimizing weights
■ FCM moved to manifold to reduce XT weights
■ “State of the art” workover system - taking
Vigdis NØ system deeper and introducing
several new components
