1 Riser Lifecycle Monitoring System for Integrity Management Judith Guzzo GE Global Research RPSEA Ultra-Deepwater Technology Conference October 29-30, 2013 Lone Star College Conference Center The Woodlands, Texas 1 rpsea.org

2 Industry Challenges Challenges for Drilling and Production Drilling in deep water and hostile environments (VIV/loop currents and hurricanes): Riser curvature Fatigue loading damage Hang-off deflections High tensions at BOP and base Trend toward exploration in deepwater environments (10,000 ft + ) Safety, the Environment and Compliance Needs Damage Prevention Lifespan Monitoring Asset Management Tools Maintain Uptime and Improve ROI 2

3 Conventional Riser Monitoring & Management Conventional ROV-systems (post process data analysis) provide limited actionable information for drilling operations Too much data not enough information Limited information for reliable fatigue models Need for Integrated, Economically Viable, Industry- Accepted Riser Lifecycle Management Solution 3

4 Project Overview - Riser Lifecycle Monitoring System (RLMS) 4 Program Goal: Develop, Test and Field Trial Integrated, Commercially Viable and Industry-Accepted RLMS Solution

5 Industry Benefits Features Real time visibility into riser health, riser loads, and riser structural integrity Instrument risers with intelligent sensing, Auto ID and subsea communication system Alerts and trending detection on riser joints with high loads or accumulated fatigue Readily available historical riser information and automated processes to collect riser data Historical performance & operations visibility Economic viability & reliability Benefits Operate in increasingly deeper and harsher offshore environments Reduced likelihood of event occurrence, enhance safety and risk management Increase operating window Reduce service & maintenance costs using performance based riser inspection Optimize engineering design of future risers Industry accepted solution 5 Platform for Proactive and Long-term Integrity Management of Riser Operations
