Need for Industry and Regulatory Agency
Collaboration

• Rig Mooring Criteria Improvements
• Platform Rig Fastening Improvements
• Production Continuity Solutions
• Deepwater Repair Solutions

Rig Mooring and Tie down
Industry Response New Standards

• Interim guidance for 2006 Hurricane Season
• RP 95J Jackups
• RP 95F Floating Drilling Units
• Technical Report on rig tie-downs for floating
  structure platform rigs
• All new stds referenced in new NTLs
• API committees to develop communication strategy
  to broadly reach all offshore operators and
  contractors

• Permanent System Attributes
• Quicker Deployment
• No Repetitive Hot Work
• Uplift Translation Decoupled
• No Friction Dependency

1. Platform Skid

• 2. EOOS terminal
• Submerged hose
• Submerged buoy with mooring
• Floating offloading hose.

• 4. Discharge System
• mid-ship to mid-ship floating hose

Deepwater EOOS concept shown, in Shallow Water
(lt150m), a Single Anchor Loading (SAL) system
could replace the submerged buoy.
