1 st Panel 3 The Commercial Shipbuilding / Offshore Industry / Professional Society Perspective

2 Peter is a naval architect with over 40 years experience in the offshore and marine industries. He is currently employed as Chief Naval Architect at ConocoPhillips, ips, the international energy company, where he leads marine technology and a future solutions projects across the whole energy value chain. Although h he has extensive experience in many fields of naval architecture, he is best known n for his work in arctic offshore engineering and LNG systems. He has worked in the ship research, design, construction, classification and offshore industries, in Canada, Europe and the US. His career has h included positions with ship design consultants, research and development companies and classification societies. Peter is a Vice President and Fellow of the Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineering, and was the Adm. Jerry Land 2006 medalist for contributions to the marine industry. He has been recognized by the Offshore Technology Conference, OTC with the Distinguished Achievement Award for Individuals in 2009 He has published extensively on a wide range of technical and safety issues related to the maritime and offshore industries Academic connection include serving on Advisory Boards for a number of Universities and Colleges including Texas A&M Industry Advisory Board for Ocean Engineering, Texas, Board of Industry Advisors for Webb Institute for Naval architecture, ture, New York, Marine Institute Advisory Board, Newfoundland and Memorial University of Newfoundland, Dept of Ocean Engineering, Advisory Board.

3 ConocoPhillips Marine and Offshore Technology - Current Areas of Interest Technologies associated with: Arctic Exploration and Development Energy Efficiency and Emissions Reduction Natural Gas Development, including Floating LNG systems Advanced Materials for Offshore and Marine Deepwater Exploration, Production and Transportation Efficiency of Construction, Installation and Removal of Offshore Facilities Ocean-based Alternative Energy

4 The Marine Technology & Future Solution group is tasked with keeping abreast of evolving technologies which may have future applications that could improve COP s marine and offshore activities. As part of this task the group coordinates Joint Industry and other development studies; maintains relationships with other corporate technology groups and networks with similar professional society, industry and government groups. An important part of our MT&FS work is to make sure we design the right ships and offshore systems before we start to design the ships and offshore systems right

5 A History of Successful Innovation ConocoPhillips was the first to design and build an ocean-going LNG ship to build and operate LNG ships in the Alaska-Japan trade. to build offshore facilities for North Sea production first to acquire purpose-built arctic drilling systems to design and build Tension Leg Platforms major oil company with totally double hulled crude carrier fleet to develop advanced shuttle tanker technology; diesel electric drive, dynamic positioning, submerged turret loading to develop 10,000ft deep-water capability dynamic positioned drillships to design and build tankers with fully redundant propulsion systems to develop a cost competitive Jones Act Shuttle Tanker design for GOM service, 2002 to develop designs for Very Large LNG ships, 2003 to develop Arctic Icebreaking Tankers, 2005 to design Jack-Up Drilling Unit for Arctic use, 2009

15 Concept design studies underway for next generation of Arctic Drilling Systems drilling units and support ships Significant drilling programs in Beaufort and Chukchi Seas likely to begin in 3-4 years Arctic conical drilling unit Systems will also be capable of drilling in Pechora and Kara Seas Molikpaq Drilling Caisson

16 The majority of work we do in this area can best be defined as Technology Development, TD, and we try to link directly to adding value to our overall business. We work across a number of businesses within our vertically integrated energy portfolio Subsea, Offshore floaters, shipping, ports and harbors, marine logistics etc., and projects may be aimed at having short or long term success. Technology developers are usually drawn from the ranks of naval architects and engineers who have wide experience and many will work TD as part of their duties while remaining active in project engineering. Technology Development teams will usually have a mix of skills, e.g. drilling engineers, naval architects, electrical engineers, and marine operators. Technology Development projects are carried out both as company projects and as Joint Industry Project, JIPs, with cost being shared between een several partners

17 Well educated and experienced naval architects who have a good understanding of design synthesis (currently we see undergraduates es with good analysis capabilities but limited design capabilities this is even more so in new-hires with post graduate technical degrees) Engineering analysis generally looks to provide a unique solution n to a problem, whereas design synthesis can result in many potential solutions which must be explored to find optimum this is a desirable skill in technology development work We use global resources to support our TD work, e.g. hydro labs, consultants, designers and universities in Europe, Asia and North American. On several occasions we have given the same scope to support contactors in Europe and Asia with quite different results but combining their output has give some significant advances

18 Technology Development is done best by: having short cycle times so technology can be implemented and used in operations quickly, allowing for feed-back and continuous improvement having people who understand engineering analysis, but are expert in design synthesis to guide technology development having relatively small teams with short communication lines between technology development, design engineering and operations Process is important, but people are critical. Finding people who have a unique blend of creativity, innovation, engineering and understanding of operational requirements is a critical success factor
