MWCC Response Overview 11/17/11 MWCC Containment System Mobile Area Committee December 18, 2013

2 MWCC Response Overview
11/17/11 About MWCC Company Overview Leading deepwater well containment system and technology provider for U.S. Gulf of Mexico 10 members, each with an equal share & vote Containment system available to all U.S. Gulf of Mexico operators as members or non-members (per well basis) Over $1 billion investment in containment system Incident Response When activated by a Responsible Party with a covered well MWCC will mobilize its containment system equipment to the designated shorebase location The RP will direct all activities from quayside to the incident site including offshore installation and operation of equipment MWCC will provide technical advisors to support the RP’s installation and operation of MWCC’s containment system equipment MWCC’s containment system has been cited in 119 permits to date

3 MWCC’s Role in the Response
MWCC Response Overview 11/17/11 MWCC’s Role in the Response A Well Containment response is managed by a Unified Command of affected stakeholders and the Responsible Party’s Incident Management Team MWCC is engaged by the Responsible Party to support the well containment response effort Incident Command System Structure Federal Representative Unified Command Operations Recovery & Protection Branch Source Control Branch Air OPS Branch Planning Logistics Finance Responsible Party State/Local Representative MWCC Support

4 MWCC’s Role in Source Control
MWCC Response Overview 11/17/11 MWCC’s Role in Source Control There are multiple response functions that are critical to a successful source control effort. Standard Source Control Response Workflow Site Survey & Initial Assessment Debris Removal Subsea Dispersant Application Capping Capture & Collection Decontamination & Demobilization SIMOPS Relief Well Time MWCC Support MWCC primarily supports three of the critical success factors – subsea dispersant application, capture & collection, and capping – by mobilizing response equipment and assisting the Responsible Party to modify generic equipment installation and operation procedures.

6 July 2012 Capping Stack Demonstration
MWCC Response Overview 11/17/11 July 2012 Capping Stack Demonstration MWCC / Shell successfully demonstrated the ability to cap a well Deployment executed with no recordable incidents ETAs of response equipment completed on first day of operations Capping stack mobilized and pre-deployment testing completed Capping stack deployed using Heave Compensated Landing System Capping stack function and pressure testing demonstrated subsea Well containment screening tool and flow modeling established pressure response ranges Video and pressure data available for monitoring and decision-making Source Control branch managed overall response operations

7 Expanded Containment System (ECS)

8 Expanded System Industry Firsts
MWCC Response Overview 11/17/11 Expanded System Industry Firsts MWCC’s System required a number of firsts for the industry First production system designed for long term storage, use at multiple sites Deepest production risers ever built (10,000 ft. water depth) Shallowest free-standing risers ever built (2,000 ft. water depth) First free-standing risers adjustable for water depths Unique quick disconnect turret-buoy Deepest subsea flexibles ever supplied for production Deepest subsea dynamic umbilical ever built (10,000 ft. water depth)

9 Modular Capture Vessels (MCVs)
MWCC Response Overview 11/17/11 Modular Capture Vessels (MCVs) Key Specifications Length ft Dynamic Positioning DP2 Capture Capacity (BPD) 100,000 Gas Handling (MMCFD) 200,000 Capability Upgrades Increased Capture Capacity Enhanced:100k BPD and 200 MMCFD Current: 60k BPD and 120 MMCFD Decreased Congestion at Site Subsea flowlines enable tankers to be removed from wellhead site by up to 5,000 ft Storage capacity of 700,000 barrels, reducing shuttle tanker activity Quick Disconnect Capability Turret provides emergency and planned disconnect options Deployment: MCVs will be in lightering service and called back to our shorebase in Ingleside to be outfitted as capture vessels if needed for a response. Outfitting the vessel involves installation and integration of a series of modular support frames, which we store and maintain at the shorebase. Timing: MWCC will study timing during the initial outfitting that is in progress. Schedule: The Eagle Texas arrived at the Ingleside shorebase earlier this month and integration has begun. Integration is expected to be completed around year end, after which we will do an SIT and an ORT. The vessel is planned to be ready for service in May/June.

17 10K Dual Ram Capping Stack (DRCS)
MWCC Response Overview 11/17/11 10K Dual Ram Capping Stack (DRCS) Dual ram capping stack able to cap a well up to 10,000 ft water depth with pressure up to 10ksi at 300°F Designed for use under floating structures (TLPs, SPARs) but can be used for a number of well control scenarios Lightweight and slim design enables more efficient installation for closely spaced wellheads situated below TLPs or SPARs

18 Subsea Dispersant Injection System
MWCC Response Overview 11/17/11 Subsea Dispersant Injection System Subsea Dispersant Injection System (SDIS) (RP to provide) 30-in. and 40-in. Hook Wands Injects dispersant at release points to disperse hydrocarbons by accelerating biodegradation. Application of subsea dispersant can minimize the existence of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) on the surface, which can be a safety hazard for workers. MWCC provides an initial supply of approximately 200k gallons of COREXIT 9500. Fan and 50-in. Hook Wand

20 Capture & Collection Tools
MWCC Response Overview 11/17/11 Capture & Collection Tools Top Hats (5) Riser Insertion Tube Tool (RITT) Captures oil from the BOP, LMRP, or wellhead via drill pipe to a containment vessel Captures oil from a parted riser and provides a conduit to surface for processing and disposal

21 Cap & Flow Operations (ICS)
MWCC Response Overview 11/17/11 Cap & Flow Operations (ICS) Cap & Flow Scenario Cap & flow equipment is needed when the well integrity may not be maintained during an attempt to shut in Flowback equipment is installed to direct hydrocarbons released from the well to capture vessel(s) Flowing the well will help allow fluids to be captured until pressure is low enough to shut in or the well is killed by a relief well MWCC Cap & Flow Equipment Free-Standing Risers (FSR) Fluid Transfer Systems (FTS) Light Duty Intervention System (LDIS) Subsea Manifolds Polished Bore Receptacle Riser (PBR) Flexibles Pressure Control Equipment Design Basis Water Depth Max 8,000 feet Capacity Limit Crude Oil 60,000 BFPD* Natural Gas 120 MMSCFD *Dependent on 500 GOR

22 Additional Components (ICS)
MWCC Response Overview 11/17/11 Additional Components (ICS) Containment Chambers Designed to encapsulate a parted riser lying on the sea floor that is connected to the disabled LMRP and funnel the hydrocarbons into a capture vessel via drill pipe Applicable for seabed seeps or breaches Susceptible to hydrate blockage and loss of stability in high GOR flows Topsides Well Test Kit Required to process hydrocarbons captured subsea and transferred to the surface (e.g. use of Top Hats, RITTs) MWCC’s Interim Containment System includes access to three well test kits: Modified Schlumberger Well Test Package permanently installed on the Discoverer Enterprise Modified Schlumberger Well Test Package temporarily installed on the Discoverer Inspiration Standard Schlumberger Well Test Package available via call-off agreement A modified well test package is used for on-vessel storage, while a standard well test package requires processed oil to be offloaded Mooring & Offloading Equipment Provided for the transfer of oil from a capture vessel to a tanker or barge InterMoor will provide supervision and direction of the onshore and offshore operations related to the hawser and transfer hose installation
