  1. OUTLOOK FOR FPSO ORDERS OVER THE NEXT FIVE YEARS Presentation by Jim McCaul at the Global FPSO Forum 25 September 2014

  2. Pros and Cons of FPSOs PRO • Has field storage and can be used in remote locations – self contained • Can operate on shallow or ultra-deepwater fields -- now in 20 to 2900 meters water • Less weight sensitive than other types of FPSs • Deck area allows flexibility in process plant layout • Quick disconnect turrets enable emergency relocation • Leasing is common practice -- transfers some risk from field operator to contractor • Can be modified/redeployed following field depletion CON • Subsea tiebacks create higher well maintenance costs • Thin resale market for FPSOs – e.g., OSX 1 & 2 • Cost and delay surprises when converting tankers to FPSOs • Redeploying an FPSO not as easy as it may appear -- e.g. Enquest Producer Source: BWO

  3. Number of FPSOs OrderedOver the Past Ten Years

  4. Business Drivers that will Determine Future FPSO Investment Tempo • Future growth in global oil/gas demand • Future need to find new sources of oil/gas • Perceived risk of conventional supply disruption • Future oil/gas price expectations • Competitiveness of deepwater as a source of future supply • Relative financial return from deepwater investment • Capex budgets of oil companies • Availability of adequate drilling equipment for deepwater E&D • Constraints in the supply chain • Cost escalation in deepwater development • Access to financing of deepwater equipment • Major environmental incident involving deepwater production
