EU Maritime Day Ocean technologies, investment for sustainability

Oceans cover 70% of the Earth’s surface,

With 97% of the ocean floor yet to be extensively explored, it is likely that numerous resources remain undiscovered.

Seafloor Resources Potential is Enormous

Pazfor, Angola

600 km2 at water depths

between 600 and 1,200 m

(i.e. 2.5 times the area of

Kuala Lumpur)

175 km of flowlines and

90 km of umbilicals

Larger and deeper subsea developments

Towards subsea factories


The next frontier

Offshore industry - significantly

extended its boundaries:

Water depth,

Remote system technology,

Materials Exploration / construction

equipment and techniques.

Enabled project developments

previously considered unviable

Offshore technology is now enabling

the next offshore frontier

Deep water hard rock production of

seafloor massive sulphide (SMS)

containing

Base metals (Copper, Zinc, Lead)

Precious metals (Gold, Silver)

EU Maritime Days - Ocean technologies, investment for sustainability – Technip presentation – May 2014 6

Recovery of SMS technological feasible and competitive

SMS deposits now provide a compelling

opportunity against the fluctuation of

commodity pricing and depletion of

resources from traditional sources,

Government legislations support offshore

mineral exploration,

Several Mining and Metals majors and

Countries interested with concessions in

SMS projects,

Onshore porphyry copper mining means:

Millions of tons of waste rock to move,

Lower grades (average 0,8% Cu on land).

No overburden so mining waste,

Subsea mining means being near a port and

facilities - as opposed to 4,500 m up in the

Andes (Today, 1/3 of CAPEX dedicated to

infrastructure). EU Maritime Days - Ocean technologies, investment for sustainability – Technip presentation – May 2014 7

On Aug 2013, announced that the department plans a performance in the water

depth of 1,380m off southeast Pohang, Korea, with commercial purposes for

manganese nodule reserved in 5,000m water depth within the Clarion-Clipperton

zone.
