Kvaerners comprehensive capabilities and proven track record include complete deliveries of

floating offshore platforms, platform topsides and onshore facilities for oil and gas processing.

With the flexibility to handle all contract formats and project execution models, our servicesinclude the full value chain from concept through completion.

Delivery of complete projects

Close integration between various phases is critical

to the projects long-term success. Poor quality may

delay the start of production or reduce the capacity.

A delayed delivery may have significant knock-on

effects for our customers. This is why Kvaerner strives

to offer attractive technical solutions combined with

skilled people and effective, reliable performance.

For more than 40 years, Kvaerner has delivered

floating platforms, topsides and onshore facilities

to some of the industrys most demanding projects.

Sitting on the floating hull or fixed substructure,

the topsides are the heart of an offshore platform.

The topsides hold the facilities to process oil and

gas from the reservoir in the seabed below.

Depending on the water depth, a fixed or floating

structure will be selected. In order to allow the platform

to maintain operation even in harsh weather, the

floating hull must have characteristics which manage

the movement from currents, wind and waves.

When delivering an onshore facility, which typically

combines oil and gas processing technologies withcivil engineering work, an effective project execution

model is imperative for a successful result. Kvaerner

has extensive experience in delivering onshore oil

and gas facilities.

Eldfisk is one of the fields in the Greater Ekofisk Area offshore

Norway. Both the Ekofisk field itself and the associated Eldfisk

have since the 1970s been developed with several offshore

platforms with steel jacket substructures. Kvaerner has over

the decades delivered the majority of this extensive

development. In March 2011, the company was also awarded

the EPC contract for delivery of topsides, bridges and a flare

for the new Eldfisk 2/7 S platform. Kvaerner will deliver the

15 500 tonne topsides and the other components forthe new platform in time for installation in 2014.

Grane is a drilling and production platform with the topsides

installed on a steel jacket substructure. Kvaerner delivered the

full EPC value chain for both topsides and jacket. Even when

introducing several new methods and technologies, including

systems for processing of very heavy oil, the project broke

several previous performance records. Grane was recognised

as a benchmark delivery on most key parameters, including

HSE, efficiency, schedule, and budget management.

Kvaerner has been involved in several projects for arctic

conditions offshore Canada, including the Hibernia platform.

As a leading contractor, Kvaerner was involved in all phases

of the project development, for both the topsides and the

substructure. The substructure is built to withstand contact

with drifting ice. To utilize local employees, Kvaerner played

a key role in establishing a fabrication yard in Bull Arm,

Newfoundland.

With a total height from seabed to the tip of the flare of 481

meters, the Troll A holds the title the largest object ever moved

by man. Troll is one of the worlds largest offshore gas fields,

and the Troll A platform has been dubbed as one of the worlds

modern engineering marvels. Kvaerner performed the full EPC

scope for the gravity base substructure (GBS), and the EP and

C scope for the large topsides with gas processing facilities

before the complete platform was towed out to the field

and installed. In addition, Kvaerner has been involvedin developing other installations at the Troll field.

Studies and front-end

Kvaerner prefers to be involved in the

early stages of a project and contribute

to the customers decision process on the

development concept, through the phases

for feasibility studies, field development

planning and FEED, as well as for the

establishing of a project execution strategy.

The FEED phase is critical to the long-term

success of the overall project objectives.

While a projects business plan typically

identifies the financial opportunity, theFEED establishes a set of process operating

conditions and specifies the equipment

needed to achieve the necessary level

of reliability, efficiency and safety.

Hence, this phase sets the direction for

the subsequent project phases.

Engineering

Kvaerner has an experienced engineering

organisation, capable of executing several

simultaneous projects. In addition, we

work closely with Aker Solutions and other

recognized engineering partners.

Our network of offices at strategic international

locations is often leveraged to provideadditional capacity or to contribute with

relevant expertise and experience.

When necessary, we also use selected

strategic partners worldwide, including high-

Kvaerners delivery of oil and gas offshore

platforms and onshore facilities is based

on our own Project Execution Model (PEM),

which has been developed, proved and

documented on numerous projects.

Kvaerners PEM approach ensures that

projects are systematically planned and

executed. The model combines effective

performance with a careful detection of

possible challenges during the projects life

cycle, and enables pro-active mitigation

and risk management.

The use of PEM assures quality in every step

of the project, through a clear definition of

milestones, elements and quality parameters.

This systematic approach provides transparency

for both the project team and for the customer.

The continuously updated project overview

identifies opportunities for flexibility.

Technology development

After project completion a systematic analysis

is performed. Ideas that work well are harvested

for further improvement, as part of Kvaerners

continous improvement.

Kvaerner carefully invests in developingnew technological solutions and new methods.

It is this development that brings new

knowledge and ideas to the table when a new

project is being considered by our customers.

value engineering hubs, to assist in various

parts of the project execution.

The detailed engineering phase also provides

specific instructions which enable the

fabrication of the new installation with

maximum efficiency.

Procurement

The documentation from detailed engineering

is an important tool to enable the procurement

organisation to gain the best terms and

conditions from vendors, including theidentification and ordering of long lead items

at an early stage. Kvaerners organisation

includes extensive experience in procurement

for both onshore and offshore projects.

Our expertise includes the overview of

alternative suppliers and vendors, market

prices and quality standards for specific items

and systematic follow-up routines after the

orders have been placed.

Construction

Kvaerner can offer construction for both

offshore platforms and onshore facilities

based on more than 40 years of experience.

Kvaerner has also established strategic

partnerships with other leading, best-value

fabricators. This ensures flexibility, as

well as the ability to deliver projects in

selected regions.

Cooperation between Kvaerner and its

strategic partners is based on the PEM modeland a close on site cooperation between

the experts from Kvaerner and its partners.

All parts of the delivery are performed

according to the high standards and with the

reliability that is expected from Kvaerner.

Local content is a key factor for many oil

and gas projects. Kvaerner has long and

documented experience of contributing

to local content and to the establishing of

long term local value creation through use

of local suppliers and through training and

effectively integrating local subcontractors.

Hook-up and CommissioningThe delivery of an offshore platform or

onshore plant typically involves hundreds

of thousands of small and large deliveries of

products, systems and services from suppliers

around the world. Kvaerner ensures that

everything comes together with the maximum

efficiency and desired quality.

Kvaerner offers hook-up and commissioning

for floating platforms or platform topsides

at this modern facility. For hook-up and

commissioning of onshore facilities,

Kvaerners experienced operators and

construction managers will perform the

hook-up and commissioning at the plant site.

Kvaerner covers all hook-up and

commissioning disciplines typically required,

such as process and marine system design,

piping, layout, material handling, pipe stress,

secondary structural steel (steel decks, access

and support systems), HVAC and safety

systems, electrical, instrumentation, telecom,

mechanical equipment, risers, J-tubes and

pipeline interfaces.

Installation of topsides

Different substructure solutions require

different installation methods of the topsides.

For fixed steel structures, the topsides will belifted onto the substructure in one or more

modules at the field. Depending on the size

of the topsides, this might cause extensive

offshore hook-up work.

For floating facilities and gravity based

substructures, the mating will be performed

inshore by float over. This will require minimal

offshore hook-up work. For FPSOs, the topsides

will be installed keyside. Kvaerner has over

the last decades gained extensive experience

on all these installation methods.

End of life services

Kvaerner has state of the art facilities

and experienced personnel to carry out

a safe demolition and disposal of closeddown installations.

Hands-on project management

All our projects, including those executed

with strategic partners or local contractors,

are supervised by Kvaerners own project

managers. The in depth expertise, the proven

experience and the hands-on approach of

our experts are some of the factors that

make Kvaerner unique, and have made our

brand recognised as the reliable, effective

contractor for the most demanding projects.
