Deepwater Production Handling Agreements THEMES AND CONCEPTS • Background • Case for action • Objective • Course of Action/Timing • Drafting Team • Drafting Process • Guiding Principles • Status • Model Form PHA Major Components • Select Themes & Concepts • Facilities • Services • Fees & Expenses • Capacity • Metering & Allocation • Transportation
Deepwater Production Handling Agreements CASE FOR ACTION • PHA Evaluations, Negotiations & Contractual Agreements are Complex • No Consistency Framework Relative to the Terms & Conditions of Contractual Agreements (i.e. Lack of Standardization) • Negotiations are Time & Resource Consuming
Deepwater Production Handling Agreements OBJECTIVE • Facilitate efficiency in terms of becoming more efficient with time and resources • Standardize, but simplify, PHA to extent possible (recognizes that each PHA is unique with its own set of issues/circumstances)

Deepwater Production Handling Agreements DRAFTING PROCESS • Assemble and review example forms • Identify common/unique themes • Select base form to develop preliminary model form • Develop Guiding Principles • Draft Major Components • Draft “Boiler Plate” Language
Deepwater Production Handling Agreements GUIDING PRINCIPLES • Generic as Possible • Broadly Applicable • Simplified in Terms of Readability • Provide basis for making business decisions • (i.e. distinguish business decisions from model form decisions) • Can be used as a catalyst for a Shelf Model Form PHA
