1. WHY FLOATOVER Conventional method: LIFTING WHY FLOATOVER Unavailability of suitable vessel with crane capability to install heavy topside (>2000MT) Cost and schedule advantages of installing pre-commissioned, integrated, single-piece topsides. Desire to reduce increasingly expensive offshore hook-up and commissioning time Now more demanding due to Scarce availability of heavy-lift crane vessels for work in shallow waters 3
2. FLOATOVER CONCEPT The topside module typically is placed on a barge or heavy transport vessel positioned within (internal slot of jacket) or around the legs (external) of a pre-installed jacket The module then is settled onto the jacket legs by a combination of vessel ballasting and a mechanical lowering system. The operation of incrementally transferring the module loads from the barge to the jacket (MATING operation) Undocking, sufficient clearance, vessel move out from the jacket 4

MATING ANALYSIS To simulate the barge’s motion characteristic and to identify the loading on the jacket using a time domain analysis. Multiple load cases were identified from the initial stage, docking, load transfer and undocking stage to represent the floatover method The load impact result shall be within allowable jacket design load Installation sea states criteria shall be established at up front stage as an input for the analysis. Software use MOSES or LIFSIM Seastate Input (Installation Criteria) Head/stern sea Hs = 1.00 m Tz up to 7.5 s Quartering sea Hs = 0.75 m Tz up to 7.5 s Beam sea Hs = 0.50 m Tz up to 7.5 s Output will be used to determine the flaotover workability 7

4. FLOATOVER OPT.SEQUENCES Standby - The vessel is a safe distance from the substructure but connected to the mooring system, preparation rapid ballast system or the hydraulic jacks are under way Docking - The vessel enters the substructure and alignment Pre-Mating - When ballasting the vessel to match the leg mating units (LMU) with receptors on top of the substructure legs and removing the remaining tie downs, it is critical that the vessel motions be limited to suit the chosen LMU geometry. No weight transfer yet occurs Mating - The topsides is lowered onto the substructure by either rapid ballasting of the vessel or by contracting the hydraulic jacks. The topsides weight is transferred to the jacket completely Post-mating - A gap is created between the deck support units (DSU) and the vessel to ensure vessel motions will not cause contact between the two Exit - The vessel is removed from the jacket slot. Post Floatover - Removal of premooring system, clean up installation aids from jacket if required - Process of welding & NDT examination between topside leg with jacket transition pieces - Final Survey 15

5. BARGE SYSTEM AND APPURTUNANCES Rapid Ballast System: to perform the load transfer in the available 12-hour tidal sequence, with specific rate. Can be external or internal (modified from existing barge ballast system) Fendering system was designed to ease the transition through the jacket with sufficient clearances, which reduced the sway impact loading upon docking. The surge fenders were installed to lock the barge in its final docking position. LMU (elastomer-based leg mating unit): to reduce the vertical impact forces (designed to support 50%) of the deck load during load transfer. DSU (Deck Support Unit), elastomer to reduce vertical impact between DSF and topside during the deck load transfer DSF (Deck Support Frame), structure to support topside during load out, transportation and floatover Barge Motion Monitoring System, electronic system to monitor motion of the barge (6 degree of freedom, the motion will be compared with mating analysis) Positioning System Wave Rider Buoys 18
