Challenging industry landscape

• Oil price declines

• Tighter budgets

• Smaller margins

• Increased regulation

• More JVs and partnerships

• Increasing project costs

• Bigger & more complex projects

Tabitha PendleburyInterface Systems Engineer

Over 15 year oil and gas industry experience

ABADI FLNG Project Overview

• INPEX (65%) Shell (35%) Joint Venture

• 2 FLNG - Front End Engineering Design (FEED) contractors

• Single Subsea (below waterline) contractor

• Challenging information exchange between contractors for all interface information

• Probity rules created significant compliance requirements and risks

11

ABADI IM Challenges

• First FLNG designed in Indonesia

• Inexperienced local staff

• Indonesian legislative requirements and constraints

• >200 plus interfaces in total managed

• SURF Contractor started three (3) months before FLNG Contractor

12

Interface example on the ABADI FLNG

• Change - Addition of Fiber Optic readiness

• Impact - Changes to the following FLNG/ SURF interfaces;

– Cabling trays and pig tails

– Umbilicals

– Umbilical termination assembly

– Entire telecommunications strategy and design

• Resolution – Central team to ensure the Management of Change included processes to:

– Identify impacts to all interfaces

– Define impacts

– Manage impacts

– Communicate to all stakeholders

13

Interface Management emerging best practices

• Upfront process definition Pre FEED

• Process driven communication

• Cross organization coordination

• Consistent interface management processes across contracts and organizations

• Support of seamless handover through commissioning and start up

14

Overcoming Challenges

Challenge Manual process System process

Information exchange Email, FTP, error prone Secure auditable central system

IT resources Create and manage spread sheets and distribution lists

Little to no IT support

File size and compatibility issues

Inability to email or open files No file size limits and integrated viewer

Security Email is not secure and files can be forwarded

All communication is within a secure environment and all activity is tracked

Time spent transmitting documents

Manual sending of multiple versions to multiple parties

Everything needed is in one central location available from anyplace anytime

Dispute over incorrect/ undelivered documents

Searching through sent boxes and transmittal logs

Clear audit trail with accountability

15
