1.0 Purpose

The intent of this document is to detail the strategies adopted in forming the ETAP maintenance
system. The strategy will cover the approach taken to generic maintenance of electrical equipment
and systems. The document will be updated as the maintenance system is developed and will form
the electrical section of the overall maintenance strategy. Having the maintenance strategy fully
documented will ensure that any future maintenance reviews will have a datum point from which to
start from, with the reasons behind the maintenance decisions.

2.0 General Notes

At this point in time this strategy does not prescribe the frequency at which tasks will be carried out,
it deals more with the generic approach to the maintenance, however, these frequencies shall be
added to the document as the maintenance system is developed. The reason that the frequencies have
been omitted is that this has been left to be determined by a criticality based analysis of the electrical
types. However, any areas not covered by the criticality based approach will have BP best practice
applied, this can be determined from across asset practice and existing experience.

3.0 Overall Philosophy

This strategy has been developed with a differing approach to those that have been previously
employed on many other Assets. This is primarily due to the need to get away from the previous
situations where numerous preventative maintenance routines (PMR's) were produced simply from
vendor manual contents, this can lead to problems when vendor documentation is updated as then the
PMR's also have to be updated. Also the PMR's that will apply to ETAP will only contain actions
and checks that can actually be carried out. This is to avoid routines becoming outstanding because
a shutdown is required and thus causing a backlog of work. Also PMR's will only contain general
guidance as opposed to robotic instructions on how to perform tasks. If a Technician requires
information relevant to a specific vendor package they should be capable of retrieving this from the
appropriate vendor manual.
The overall approach to ETAP maintenance will be non intrusive operational checks as opposed to
scheduled overhaul. Condition monitoring will be employed where ever possible such as
Thermographic surveys on distribution boards and switchboards (Inclusive of instrument marshaling
control boxes) vibration monitoring and the use of Rogowski coils on motor drives (Rogowski coils
monitor insulation condition with the use of additional equipment with the motor running). This
should lead to fewer PMR's in the system and be more efficient.

Safety critical elements will have to meet set performance standards. The maintenance will be
applied to the systems and the components within the system to ensure that the devices and systems
are maintained to meet the design intent. Written schemes of examination will be produced for safety
critical systems, these schemes will document the functional testing of the system and components,
test intervals etc. The maintenance and testing will be a combination of the requirements of the
WSE’s and any other maintenance related activities.

Platform operations personnel will be responsible for first line maintenance & breakdowns repairs,
any major work - routine PM's or breakdown repairs - will be campaigned and manpower resourced
as required. Platform personnel will have access to Maintenance Support Contractors for technical
assistance. It will be the responsibility of the Maintenance Coordinator to liaise between the
platform and the Maintenance Support Contractors to expedite planned routine inspections and
breakdown repairs that can't be performed by the platform.

Campaign maintenance and the campaign team will be coordinated by the Maintenance Coordinator.
All campaignable work will planned well in advance and entered onto the platform plan. It will be
the responsibility of each system owner to liaise with the campaign team when working on their
system to make sure all necessary permits are in place and the work is carried out safely.

The campaign team will consist of technically competent personnel and where ever possible will
include people that are familiar with the platform and the permit to work system.

Ex inspections have been covered in a separate document (Ex Equipment Maintenance Strategy)
however, further certified electrical equipment in hazardous areas will, in addition to the requirements
resulting from this strategy document, also be subject to periodic inspections to confirm Ex integrity.
The intent will be to schedule maintenance such that both requirements are addressed simultaneously
in order to minimise the number of occasions apparatus is opened up and to reduce potential process
interruption.

4.0 Power Generation

The main platform generation is provided by two GE frame 6 Gas Turbines - supplied by Thomassen
International - with a base load of 39MW each coupled to a Brush alternator generating at 13.8kV
60HZ.

The maintenance of the Gas Turbine, alternator and turbine controls will be carried out by the
maintenance support contractor with the platform personnel carrying out first line maintenance and
breakdown repairs. The platform personnel will be trained to a standard to be competent to act as the
eyes and ears of the maintenance support contractor with 24 hour technical support.

The maintenance for this equipment will be covered in a separate strategy paper developed by the
maintenance support contractor.

 The auxiliary and emergency generation are not included in this support contract.

5.0 Power Distribution & UPS Systems

The three main power distribution voltages are 13.8kV, 6.6kV and 440V. Single phase supplies will
be 254V unstabilised and 230V stabilised. Stabilised supplies are designated for equipment that
would be subject to damage through large voltage variations such as PC's.

The switchboards have been manufactured and supplied by ABB. Auxiliary and emergency
generation have been supplied by ABB through sub suppliers. The auxiliary generation generates at
6.6kV on QU and 440V on Mungo, with the emergency generation generating at 440V on QU.

UPS systems have been supplied by different manufactures depending on their duty.

The load management will be provided by a Brush PRSMIC.

The maintenance of this equipment will be carried out by the maintenance support contractor with the
platform personnel carrying out first line maintenance and breakdown repairs. The platform
personnel will be trained to a standard to be competent to act as the eyes and ears of the maintenance
support contractor with 24 hour technical support.

The maintenance for this equipment will be covered in a separate strategy paper developed by the
maintenance support contractor with an emphasis on condition monitoring and unit change out to
reduce equipment downtime.

6.0 Motors

Condition monitoring will be adopted utilising Rogowski coils for detecting insulation deterioration,
and vibration analysis in conjunction with pump monitoring to reduce maintenance man-hours. In
addition to this, maintenance of the circuit breakers, motor control cubicles and auxiliaries will be
scheduled at the same time as motor maintenance to reduce down time. Motor maintenance PMR's
will include Ex inspection as well as lubrication, insulation resistance and PI readings.

Depending on the motor size, motors will be transported to the beach for overhaul and bearing
changes or replaced with a complete new motor

Because of the platform staffing, more extensive maintenance on larger motors will be campaigned
utilising support contract labour or an approved vendor.

 Motors will only be changed out on failure and not as routine.

 Motors 15kW and below will be replaced with new on failure - no spares will be held.

7.0 Lighting/Small Power/Trace Heating

Lighting will be re-lamped module by module area by area on a routine bases - each fitting will be re-
lamped irrespective if the lamp is faulty but according to manufactures stated lamp life. This work
will be carried out by the campaign team with platform personnel carrying out breakdown safety
repairs/re-lamping only.

Lighting, small power and trace heating distribution board maintenance will also be campaigned.

Small power socket outlets, welding socket outlets and trace heating joint boxes will be inspected and
maintained at the same time as Ex inspection.

8.0 Navigational Aids

Platform navigational 15 mile and 3 mile lights will be automatically be energised via a Photoelectric
Cell on the CPF and Mungo. The standby 10 mile lights will automatically be energised if the main
lights fail.

Platform 2 mile fog horns will be automatically energised on Mungo and manually energised on CPF.
The standby 0.5 mile fog horns will automatically be energised if the main fog horns fail

Periodic testing of the navigational aids and breakdown repairs will be carried out by platform
personnel and routine inspections/ PM’s will be campaigned. Navigational PMR’s will also include
Ex inspections and the lamps will be changed irrespective if they have failed or not.

The navigational UPS is backed up by a battery that will sustain the system for a minimum of 96
hours. Breakdown repairs to the UPS will be carried out by the platform personnel and routine
inspections / PM’s will be campaigned.

9.0 Living Quarters/Galley/Laundry

Living quarters lighting and small power socket outlets will be addressed in the same way as the
process modules. Distribution board and main supply breaker maintenance will also be campaigned.

The Galley and Laundry equipment will be changed out for new at an interval that has expired the
equipment’s reliability. This is to reduce the man-hours spent on repairing equipment that is beyond
its working life.

10.0 Portable Electrical Equipment

All portable electrical equipment will be periodically inspected, tested and tagged. The tag will
contain the following information - dated tested and next test due date.

Equipment that is used on the plant i.e. Welding Sets, Handlamps, Electric Drills and Extention Leads
will be tested more frequently than equipment used solely in the living quarters and offices i.e.
Televisions, PC’s & Printers.

Each portable appliance will have a unique identification number and an up-to-date register will be
kept of all the platform portable electrical equipment. The register will contain the appliance
identification number, dated tested , and the next due test date with the name and signature of the
person who carried out the test.

All portable electrical equipment that is brought onto the platform will have to be inspected by a
competent electrical person before the equipment can be used.

Routine portable electrical testing will be carried out by the campaign team.

11.0 Mungo

Mungo maintenance will be treated in the same way as CPF campaigning maintenance where ever
possible to align with scheduled platform visits.
