Unit Optimum Spares List I.OPS.GEO.

(Note for Base Technicians and Field Crew’s) Page 1/2

Geoservices is introducing a Unit Optimum Spares List worldwide. This is to serve two
purposes:
1) Ensure that all units regardless of location or equipment installed have sufficient supplies of essential spare parts
to ensure that there is no loss of service due to non functioning equipment, so improving the quality of service to
the client.

2) Ensure that units do not have an excess of spare parts, thus improving the movement of equipment within the
company.

This list can be regarded as an agreement between the Back Office and Front Office that the spares required will be
supplied. In addition it displays to the client that we have the systems in place to ensure equipment under contract with
them has the spares required to ensure no loss of services.

Technician Responsibilities
1) When preparing a unit in the base prior to the start of the new contract establish the Optimum Spares List
according to;

- the equipment required for the contract

- the logistics involved in getting spare parts to the rig.

For example; A rig with only 5 probe sensors would only require 1 spare sensor in backup, where as a rig with 20
probe sensors may require 3 or 4 in backup. A rig in close proximity to the base by helicopter would not require
backup modules for Reserval / GFF. Several rigs in the same remote area may be able to pool spare parts (ie
Reserval / GFF modules) provided the equipment can be easily moved between rigs as required.

Remember, the list you will receive is not the Minimum or Maximum.

Use your specific knowledge of the operating area and conditions and installed equipment to prepare the
Optimum Spares for the rig in question.

2) Rigs already operating should have the Optimum Spares List dispatched to the rig, having already been
completed by the Base Technician as per Point 1.

3) Ensure that all equipment sent to the rig as spare parts;

- Is fit for purpose

- Has been tested according to the appropriate procedure.
- Is accompanied by Maintenance Report and appropriate Maintenance Checklist.
- Has a Sticker indicating that it has been tested, including the date and initials of the person who tested
the equipment.

Field Crew’s Responsibilities:
1) When you receive the Optimum Spares List mark on the list the number of equipment “In Use”. Check that the
number of spares as assigned by your Base Technician is reasonable in relation to the number in use. If you have
any questions, contact your Base Technician.

2) Check through all spare PCB’s, Sensors etc as per the list received. Any equipment that you are unsure about
the status of cannot be considered a spare. If you have the expertise and knowledge, test the card or sensor
on site and place a green tested sticker on the equipment so it is obvious to all that the equipment is in working
order. If you cannot test the equipment onsite order a replacement and return the equipment of unknown status to
the base.

To repeat; There should be no equipment in the unit that you do not know the status of. It is useless as a spare
and is losing the company money.

3) Return all excess equipment to your base.

4) Check your spares on a weekly basis, sending faulty / excess equipment to the base as required and requesting
replacement equipment when needed.

A Reminder

Ensure your Optimum Spares List is up to date at all times and the spares status is good.

You will be audited on this Quality & Service requirement.
