The document outlines a pathway to increase local content in Nigeria's oil and gas industry by fabricating floating production storage and offloading (FPSO) vessels in the country. It proposes using a horizontal slicing principle and simple flat plate construction technique that does not require a dry dock, allowing FPSO hulls to be built on land in Nigeria. This technique could create thousands of new jobs, stimulate the economy, and increase skills and opportunities for local workforce by bringing billions of construction hours to Nigeria that currently go to other countries. The plan is to initially build 70% of an FPSO hull locally then progress to building 100% in Nigeria.

1. Pathway for Increasing Nigerian Local Content
Fabricating FPSOs in Nigeria

2. 2
Nigeria and Local Content
“The board shall make procedures to guide, monitor,
coordinate and implement the Act to ensure and enforce
measurable and continuous growth of Nigerian content in
all oil and gas operations in the country."
President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan upon
signing the Local Content Bill 2010

3. 3
The Critical Need for LC (Local Content)
Nigeria is driving to increase local content and maximize the in-country
economic value of its natural resources:
Increased local content means more jobs
Increased local content stimulates the business environment
Increased local content increases GDP
Increased local content provides opportunities for a skilled
workforce to export it’s products…… a WIN - WIN situation for
all
Unfortunately billions of FPSO manhours still go to Korea and China
each year
Agbami FPSO – built in Korea
$1.1 billion spend

4. 4
The SSP FPSO designs offer a LC solution
The SSP FPSO hull can be built
without a dry-dock
For Nigeria this eliminates
traditional hull fabrication
hurdles
The SSP design provides a
solution to Nigeria and it’s E&P
partners for large FPSO’s
The SSP FPSO also provides
export value to Africa from
Nigeria

5. 5
SSP Construction – The Horizontal Slicing Principle
Vertical hull blocks fabricated in large sections Horizontal hull blocks fabricated in small sections
Large dry-dock required for block assembly No dry-dock required - assembly on dry land
Only Korea, China and more recently Brazil have Can be built in Nigeria – NOW !
these capabilities

6. 6
Execution Plan – Phase 1
70% of FPSO Hull SECTION A-B
(Accommodation and
Upper Hull Sections)
Built in country –
100% Local Content
SECTIONS C-D
Initially built outside
country, eventually built
in country

7. 7
Project Execution – Phase 2 (100% Nigerian Built)
Hull and Topsides can be perfectly
“Mixed and Matched” to suit large and
smaller local fabrication capabilities
NOW:
Build A&B (70%)
locally
Deliver
NOW:
Mate Hull sections
and Integrate locally
NOW:
100% Local Content Build C&D (30%)
externally
on project No. 2

8. 8
Proven Technology and No Dry Dock Required to Build
• SSP’s simple block construction allows onshore fabrication.
• With one large 350T crane and adequate space an SSP FPSO can be built
anywhere in the world.
• No dry dock = High Local Content

10. Conclusion
Petrolog-SSP bringing FPSO hull
technology to Nigeria means:
• A step change in Nigerian Local
Content for deepwater offshore
projects
• Technology and skills transfer
• Thousands of new jobs created
• Millions of construction manhours
brought to Nigeria
• Export potential
The SSP design has been technically
accepted by major E&P companies
including Chevron, Statoil and Shell
