Survey Guidelines

Following the first Empac/Maintenance survey for Transocean, we have the following comments and guidelines for ModuSpec surveyors.
Methodology 1. Review the slide presentation prepared by Transocean. 2. The Transocean team leader (assessor) will have prepared a lot of documents in advance of your survey (spending 1-2 weeks). 3. Our preferred method was to survey equipment as we normally do, then review the paperwork and put on our "detective's hat", once a base line had been established. This put the Transocean assessor with a lot of free time during the first several days of the survey. So perhaps looking at paperwork first, or at least if you are in town for a day before going to the rig, all the surveyors should be reviewing documents. 4. Do not be too quick to draw conclusions to long term problems that had in-depth studies performed by others. Simply acknowledge the problem and the fact that Transocean is working on a solution or has commissioned a study. We do not have to solve all their problems, but can make suggestions and recommendations where appropriate. As engineers and surveyors , we tend to want to solve any "technical" problem we run across and sometimes our client wants this as well but not in this case for Transocean's maintenance department. 5. Remember that Transocean is looking for ModuSpec to ascertain and describe the level and quality of maintenance being performed on the various rig assets. They are NOT concerned with certain equipment (crown block, top drive, etc) meeting or being overhauled to an API compliance such as API RP 88. Transocean has their own maintenance system to follow and if we feel the maintenance of a particular asset can be improved by adopting some aspect of an API recommended practice, that can be included in the Maintenance Issues section of the Supplemental report with a good argument to back-up the recommendation. So in other words, there should be NO recommendations in the report such as "the crown block has not been overhauled as per API RP 88 5 yearly overhaul". Written Report

1. Equipment descriptions are still necessary, but should be VERY BRIEF since the drilling contractor is typically very familiar with the equipment he owns. What Transocean wants to know is the actual condition of each asset (good and bad) as observed on the rig at that snapshot in time. 2. If the equipment does not exist DELETE it from the Index and the body of the report. Transocean does not want to see "This equipment is not on rig X". 3. Since this survey emphasizes maintenance, be sure to include in any recommendations regarding overhaul or maintenance any relevant OEM standards, API standards, and also state what the corporate EM PAC PM task or

rig specific task states. Maintenance Issues are to be separated into a separate section (Supplemental Report) apart from the Main Report. Remember, EM PAC corporate tasks are supposed to be guidelines. If the rig does not have enough detail in their PM, they should have written Rig Specific maintenance tasks . We highlighted each section of our report that pertained to the Transocean definition of "Downtime Risk Equipment" that can be different for each rig. Each of these items must include a review of the previous years PM history, the current scheduled tasks also see if any recent OER's (Operational Event Reports) have been issued with regard to those items. Rigs that were previously SedcoForex or RBF, will be relatively new to EMPAC. There will be many comparisons made by the crew on how much better their previous system was. Make an effort not to be critical of EMPAC without a specific example to back it up. Try not to compare it to the previous system, since the reader may not be familiar- just stick to the problems with what is currently being done and a recommendation on how to fix that problem and move forward with EMPAC. Again , Maintenance Issues belong in the Supplemental Report. Obvious safety items should have a recommendation written, such as with casing stabbing boards and items in the derrick, but don't go out of the way to report minor safety infractions. Recommendations for the survey will be communicated to the Transocean team leader daily (or as agreed) and will be split into three categories; Asset Deficiencies (M ain Report) and Maintenance Issues, Improvement Oportunities (Supplemental Report). The Transocean Team Leader will maintain an Excel spreadsheet, which separates the recommendations into 3 categories. They will code that sheet and include additional items on that sheet as the Transocean lead assessor sees fit. The Excel Spreadsheet is a TOI document and not part of our written report. For our written report, which is a detailed back-up to the Transocean Executive summary must include for ALL recommendations a criticality ranking of CRITICAL, MAJOR or MINOR associated to each. These should match closely with the MER checklist (e.g. the MER charts) a. Asset Deficiencies (equipment specific recommendations)(Main Report). These are for ASSETS like derrick, engine, crane. b. Improvement opportunities (Supplementa l Report) For instance if there is nothing wrong with the Top Drive but we are recommending they carry a spare IBOP for it. c. Maintenance issues (Supplemental Report). Like the PM task does not exist but is recommended by the OEM , or the PM task is not being performed. 10. A sample report will be forwarded for GUIDANCE of format and content. Please read the information and be very careful NOT to copy across to your report as the same details, observations, or recommendation may not apply to your survey. Transocean wants to have the report verbally and accurately

communicate the rig's equipment condition at that moment in time and if the prescribed or required maintenance is being performed successfully. To achieve this , the writer (surveyors) must document what was checked, tested , operated, reviewed from maintenance PMs , good or bad about each asset observed. We are not being asked to write novels of information so don't feel that you need to tell EVERYTHING that you saw on the asset (equipment) just stick to the important items and be concise. Our normal survey reports tend to only document in details the problems observed (because these items need to be fixed before executing a contract, etc) and skim over the fact when equipment was in good condition (because if no recommendations are made, it is assumed the equipment is in good working condition). For these Transocean maintenance surveys, both take equal importance and must be documented accordingly. 11.Aiso in the sample report template you will see how the Transocean PSS equipment codes have been incorporated into the report as well. Adhere to this model. Tables , diagrams & pictures have also been incorporated fo r each surveyor to use as necessary. 12 . Transocean also wants to know the condition of each rig's general steel structure. Try to access a few hull or preload tanks if possible and do give a general assessment of the rig 's steel condition because this is also important to assessing the future service life of any particular rig. 13.1mprovement Opportunities are in a separate section from the main report and Tra nsocean do not want discussion about items they don't own (like a third mud pump) in the main report section 4. Downgraded equipment that meets operational requirements is also to be considered an improvement opportunity (e.g. three engines HP can be improved by adding turbos) , but 1 of 4 engines not able to run at full load would be a deficiency.

Checklist
1. The agreement with Transocean was not to do intrusive examinations unless we could get a value added result. If Transocean recently opened the equipment and wrote a half-decent report, we are "taking them at their word". In the case where items have been examined by Transocean or other competent 3rd party we put 1 's (okay) on the checklist. Likewise , if maintenance records show a recent overhaul/repair but the equipment visually indicates otherwise (freshly painted nuts/bolts, no obvious signs of covers being removed , etc), this may justify and warrant an intrusive inspection to confirm or deny the maintenance was completed as recorded in the task history. 2. This is not another safety survey. We are not inspecting general company policies or procedures, only assets that needed maintaining . Portable extinguishers are surveyed by many agencies and are too low a value to be considered an asset. We put 4's (n/a) in many items of safety including all the following subsections. 11.1 .5(all), 11.2.1.1 , 11.2.3, 11 .2 .5, 11.2.6, 11 .3.2 , all helicopter ops except 11.4.3, all sections 11 .5 to 11.13.

3. For a floater, sections 8.5 to 8.7 were mainly certificates and procedures and we again made them 4's (n/a). 4. We used 3's sparingly for example in situations where equipment was overdue for inspection, and there was no testimony or written report to the condition . 5. Transocean does want to include the checklist sections of Maintenance and Spare Parts from the ModuSpec checklist (for the MER charts). Some verbiage needs to be written for each of these sections in this respect and needs to be included in the appropriate section of the Supplemental report. Photos 1. Photos to be labeled by PSS Code and description (500kb or less -each). As part of the delivery of the final report , ModuSpec will include a CD of ALL the rig photos taken during the survey, therefore do you best to organize per PSS code and/or picture names. 2. Lead Surveyor to select 20-30 project photos and put in a folder titled "Report Photos". Rema ining photos go into a folder titled "Survey Photos"
