Our Innovative Breakthrough Vessel: 5 ura 30 0 Sapura 3000 is the most advanced and versatile vessel for
conventional and deepwater construction activities in the
region .
This purpose-built combination vessel (pipelay and heavy
lifting) is unique in its overall capabilities, w ith dynamic
positioning in deep and shallow water and fully revolving mast crane capable of 3000ST lifts. Conventional S-Lay is
used for shallow water, pipelay and steep S-Lay or Hay for
deepwater pipelay and/or steel catenary riser installation in
water depths of up to 2000m.
SapuraAcergy has further enhanced the vessel's capabilities
by installing two (2) permanent Work Class Remotely
Operated Vehicles (WROVs) Due to the WROVs having
extreme ly long excursion capabilities, the need for a
standalone support vessel to monitor pipe touch-down
in many cases is not required . Driven by fibre optics, this
veh icle is the most sophisticated medium in the remote
construction market
Sapura 3000 has accommodation for up to 330 people w ith full office facilities, recreation room, gymnasium and helideck suitable for Sikorsky S92, providing a friendly and
conducive environment for offshore activities.
SapuraAcergy is committed to an incident-free workplace
and has taken the necessary precautionary steps to ensure
the Sapura 3000 and its crew adhere to the highest quality
and safety standards (1S0 9001 and OHSAS 18001 )
In addition, SapuraAcergy is certified with ISO 14001 for Environment Management System, Document of Compliance (ISM Code) and International Ship Security (ISPS Code) All the Management Systems are achieved through SapuraAcergy's Integrated Management System OMS) as certified by the American Bureau of Shipping
(ASS).

Project Overview
The Kikeh Field was developed utili sing dry tree wells
located on a Dry Tree Unit (DTU) floating platform and
subsea completions connected to a turret-moored Floating,
Production, Storage and Offloading (FPSO) vessel through a
system of subsea manifolds, pipelines and ri sers.
Treated and stabilised crude oil wi ll be periodically offloaded
from the FPSO to shuttle tankers via tandem offloading.
Associated gas wil l initial ly be re-injected into the Kikeh
reservo ir until commissioning of the Kikeh Gas Pipeline (KGP)
system, after which the gas will be exported to the Labuan
Gas Te rminal (LGAST) plant on Labuan Island for sales to the new PETRONAS Mega Methanol plant. The KGP system
includes a shallow water tie-In flange located at the proposed
Kinabalu Deep and East platform w here infill gas may be
injected into the KG P at a future date.
SapuraAcergy was appointed for the performance of offshore
installation work at Kikeh Field for the Kikeh Gas Pipeline
System . The scope of work Includes the complete EPCIC of a
138km, 12 " diameter export pipeline insta ll ed in water depths
between 13S0m and 14S0m to shore (Om) The contract
included the line pipe procurement and coating, shore
crossing w orks, the installat ion of a deepw ater pipel ine end
terminat ion (PLET), tie- in jumper spool and an in-line future
tap tie-in at the Kinabalu East/Deep Platform.

Project Challenges
The Kikeh export pipeline contract involves the complete
EPCIC of a 138km, 12" diameter export pipeline installed
in water depths from the beach (Om) out into the Kikeh
field at 14S0m. The contract illCluded the line pipe
procurement and coating , shore cross ing works, the
installation of pipeline end termination (PLET) in deepwater,
the insta llation of a tie-in jumper spool and an in-line
future tap t ie-in at the Kinabalu East/Deep Platform.
Subsea completion work w as performed util ising the two (2) permanen tly deployed ROVs on board the Sapura 3000
in 14S0m water depth. Th is included a SOm long spool
installation and pipeline pre-comm issioning operations.
The KGP project was completed with minimum downtime.
Challenge 1 - Shore Crossing
Shore crossing operations were performed by SapuraAcergy
from onboard the DLB Sea Horizon. The shore crossing
consisted of a 750m section of pipe being pul led from the
lay barge offshore into the beach. Loads recorded during
the pu ll -in operatloh were up to 90Te in sections. The
operati on was completed successful ly allowing the DLS Sea
Horizon to continue with pipelay operation into a water
depth of 20m. Three (3) units of existing pipelines lequired
to be crossed requiring specifi c pipeline crossings were
constructed during this pipe\ay sect ion.
Figure 1
Challenge 2 - Hook-Up of Pipeline to lGAST
The installation of a pipeline and the connection of
the pipeline at the existing LGAST terminal presented
sign if icant chalienges. With limited access, SapuraAcergy
needed to construct an access from the main road in
Labu an down to the pipe li ne pull -in iocation. This iimited
space also pl'esented chall eng es for the pipel ine testi ng, conditioning and testing operations . The f inal con nection
of the offshol'e pipeline to the land section as shown in
Figure 2, req uired an open excavation over 2m in depth t o
be const ructed in t he tidal zone at the beach .
Figure 2 The final connect ion of t he offshore pipeline to the onshore sect ion
Challenge 3 - Future Tap Tee Installation
At a water depth of 60m, an in-li ne tee needed to be
insta lled during the pipelay operation. The in-line, fu ture
tap tee (supplied by Oilstates), was install ed with an integrated protection frame making the total weight of
the in-line joint 5MT
The future tap tee now sits upright on the seabed for future
hook-up from the Kinabalu B platform that w il l ut il ise the
pipel ine to export sales gas to the LG.AST fac ility.
Challenge 4 - Stinger Change-Out
Pipelay operations up to 120m WD vvere executed vvith a single section stingel' (hinge section). However, to
accommodate pipe laying operations in water depths
beyond 120m, an additional section (section 2) needed
to be installed as a stinger extension to enable a steeper
departure angle for the pipeline to faci litate deeper water
pipelay operations to 1450m WD. In full operation t he total
stinger weight IS 700IVn with an overa ll length of 90m.
Challenge 5 - Deepwater Pipe laydown
Pipelay operations constructed into the Kikeh Field (1450m)
where the pipeline needed to be laid into a 6m x 3m target
box on the seabed. The pipe was laid dow n in an S-Iay
configurati on, into the existing Kikeh Field in an area that
was al ready populated w ith subsea structures and fl exible
pipe. The Klkeh pipeline was laid-dow n successfully inside
t he target box and maximum pipelay lay down tensions
were recorded at lOTe.
Challenge 6 - Deepwater Pipe Recovery and PlET Installation
For the installation of the deepwater Pipeline End
Termination (PI,t T), the Sapu l'a 3000 was mobil ised w ith
a project specifi c pipe hang-off plati'orm that allowed the
pipe to be recovered in a J-Iay confi gul-ation and hung-off
on the side of the vessel , a load of 84Te was experienced
at the new hang-off ciamp . Once the pipe lay down head
'.Nas removed, the 83Te PI_ET was then up-ended and hung
into its near vertical position for connection to the subsea
pipeline The PLET and pipeline w ere welded, tested and
readied for subsea deployment
Once ail tests were complete, the pipel ine and PI_tT vvere
lifted (163Te) and successfully laid onto the seabed into a
target box of 6m x 3m .
Figure 6 Insta Iialion of PLET
Challenge 7 - Subsea Jumper Installation
The final connection between the newly laid Kikeh pipeline
and the existing Gas manifold was made using a subsea
jumper spool . The spool was 45.5m in length and needed
to be installed f looded with" Superdry" fl uid. This f luid
needed to be turned into a gel prior to deployment to
prevent loss during connection operations.
The jumper spool was successfu lly fabricated and tested
onboard the Sapura 3000 by the onboard team and then
deployed and successfu lly connected using t he two (2) units
of work class ROVs. Once installed, the vertica l connections were successfully tested followed by a subsea leak test on
the jumper to confirm its integrity in -situ.
Challenge 8 - Pipeline Testing, Pre-commissioning, Conditioning and Nit rogen Packing
The pre-commiss ioning services were completed
successfully and w ithout a lost t ime incident wh ich was a magnificent result considering the challenges of
6600psig (445barg) test pressure in such deepwater and
with complex subsea arch itecture. Without the use of an
innovative Gel isolation, the project would have been at risk of inducing hydrates immediately upon start up (which
are expensive and difficult to correct) as well as causing
potential de lays to production.
Achievements/Results
The Kikeh f ield is the fi rst deepwater development in
Malaysia. In 2008, SapuraAcergy successfully com pleted
the works at a maximum depth of 1450m making the
Kikeh gas export pipeli ne the deepest rigid pipeline
insta lled in the .I'>.s ia Pacific region to date and a major
milestone for SapuraAcergy.
Additionally, the PLET insta llation at 1450m water depth
w ith a weight of 83MT, was the first of its kind in Malays ia,
and a signifi cant insta llation achieve ment for the
Sapura 3000.

Iwaki Platform Decommissioning Project
Introduction
The Iwaki Gas field, operated by Offshore Iwaki
Petroleum Co. Ltd., was initially discovered offshore
Japan in 1973, developed in 1983 and ceased production
in 2007. Offshore Iwaki Petroleum Co. Ltd.'s consortium
comprises ExxonMobil, Yugen Kaisha and Tonen General
Sekiyu K.K.
Located approximately 40km east of Nahara Cho, in a
water depth of approximately 154 metres, the Iwaki
Platform consists of a steel jacket structure, topside
drilling, production modules and a 12 " diameter pipeline
Strength and Depth
for transporting gas from the field to the onshore plant in Nahara Cho.
SapuraAcergy, using their key asset, the Sapura 3000,
was awarded the Heavy Lift Subcontract of the
Decommission ing Scope. This subcontract includes lifting
and transportation of the topsides, Jacket and sections
of the 12 " gas export pipeline to an onshore location for
disposal by others. The decommissioning work w as

Project Fact Sheet
Project Name Iwaki Platform Decommissioning Project
location Iwaki Field, Japan
Operator Offshore !waki Petroleum Co. Ltd.
Client Nippon Steel Engineering Ltd.
Contract Type Heavy Lift Sub-Contract
Water Depth 154m
Project Duration 2009-2010 (Approximately 60 Days Vessel Onsite)
Vessel Utilised Sapura 3000
Scope of Work SapuraAcergy's scope includes the following:
• Removal of topside facilities and module support frame
• Cutting jacket members at EL-92 metres
• Lifting of upper section of jacket, lowering onto seabed and toppling
• Cutting and stabilising export pipeline
Project Overview
The Iwaki Gas facility, commissioned in 1983, consists of
offshore drilling, process and accommodation modules
installed on a jacket structure. A gas pipeline transports
gas from the field to the Offshore Iwaki Petroleum onshore
plant in Nahara Cho.
The Iwaki platform has 8 legs, weighs 20,735MT and stands
in 154 metres of water. The platform is located 40km off
the east coast of Japan and was the first ever installed
offshore Japan. It is also the largest to be decommissioned
in Japan. The Iwaki platform was shut down in 2007.
SapuraAcergy Sdn Bhd was awarded a sub-contract in May
2009 for the Iwaki Platform Decommissioning Project which
included:
.. Removal of 16 modular topside lifts ranging from
10MT to 1100MT
e 118 subsea cuts, at a depth of 92m
$ Removal of 16 No. pile sections
• Cutting and removal of a section of 12" pipeline
~ Lifting the jacket, lowering to seabed and toppling (to
create an artificial reef)
This proJect, worth an estimated US$60 million, was
successfully completed on behalf of Nippon Steel
Engineering Co. Ltd., in July 2010.
Project Challenges
Challenge 1 - Environmental Conditions
From historical weather data and knowledge of the sea
conditions and downtime during installation, it was known
that measures vvould have to be taken to mitigate the
weather risk. This was carried out by physical measures to
enable lifting to continue in poor conditions and project
planning to ensure as many work faces were open at any
one time. It was also essential to ensure that some of the
work faces were not sensitive to adverse weather.
The above strategy proved to be successful and allowed the
topsides operations to run almost in parallel to the less
sensitive subsea works.
Challenge 2 - Jacket Cutting Philosophy
Tr·aditionally, jacket cutting had been performed upon
completion of the topside removal. On review of previous
decommissioning offshme programmes, it was clear the
subsea cutting scope carr ied a huge schedu le and
operationa l risk. With this knowledge, SapuraAcergy
developed a method to mitigate these risks and reduce the
overall offshore schedu le. This includes the development of
a full structural model of the jacket which allowed the stress
w ithin each leg and brace to be calcu lated. Within the
model, each of the planned module lifts was able to be
simulated and the resu lting changes in the leg and member"
stl"esses were able to be accessed. This method allowed the
low stress liiembers to be identified, enabling a sequence of
stl"uctura l members to be cut after each lift
Challenge 3 - Subsea Cutting Equipment
In order to reduce risk and improve schedu le, it was
concluded that "Fly to Place" cutting equipment was required.
Following a market revievv, it INas found that although the
cutti!ig tool ing to complete the cuts was ava ilab le, a rel iab le
ROV delivery system was not. ,6.fter a demanding selection
process, which cumu lated in a 400te diamond w ir"e
compressiorl cut being perfmmed, Proserv offshore were
awarded the jacket cutting subcontract.
The ROV delivery system was identified as the cr it icai
component to enable cutting operations to be carried out off
the critica l path. SapuraAcergy, Proserv and TMT worked
together to design, build, complete factory acceptance 2nd site
testin9 of the ROV delivery system. Refiliements were made
throu9hout this process which ensured a fuHy integrated and
rigor"ously tested system 'Nas taken offshore .
,6.11 subsea cutting operations We(2 performed off the critical
path and without Impact on the topside lifting and jacket
removal scope .
Challenge 4 - The Jacket lift Challenge 5 - logistics
During the engineering phase, it was determined that
the actual lift weight of the jacket could vary
significantly, depending on the amount of marine
growth and integrity of the jacket legs for instance. In
order to mitigate the risk associated with a large range
of weights, it was decided to seal the jacket legs,
de-ballast them and use the buoyancy created. A
method of ballasting and gradually increasing the load on the crane, in stages, was developed such that the
actua l lift weight could be accurately and predictably
mainta ined. In fact, a buoyancy of 1543MT w as
gained from 78% of the leg length being filled w ith air
resulting in the crane experiencing a total weight of
1050MT.
Lessons Learnt
One of the key challenges to overcome, was the sourcing,
transport, storage and maintenance of the required equipment
Also, due to the remote location, it was essential to have
adequate cont ingency and spares to mitigate the risk of
downtime. The fo llowing list provides an indication of the
magn itude of equipment which was carried on the Sapura 3000:
• 200MT of fabricated insta llat ion aids
• 70 heavy lift slings up to 14" in diametel'
• 75 heavy lift shackles up to 700T
• 14 subsea cutting too ls
• 360m of diamond wi re
• 64MT of garnet (grit)
• 1400m of w ire rope
• 9 compressors
• 1800m of air hose
• Air diving spread
The Iwaki Decommissioni ng project w as SapuraAcergy's first venture into decommissioning work and hence we have gai ned
extensive and detailed first-hand knowledge of the unique challenges associated w ith decommissioning. The follow ing highlights
just of few of the lessons learnt
lesson 1: Risk Analysis - As Installed
The Iwaki Platform was more than 28 years old when decommi ss ioned. One
of the key risks is the reliability of the provided information with regards to
original configuration, modifications, inherent structural defects, weight and
weight growth. For this project, the information provided by our client,
Nippon Steel, was very accurate, with excellent records being maintained.
This information, coupled with many on-site visits proved invaluable in the
efficient planning and execution of the works.

Lesson 2: Regulatory Compliances
It was a cha llenge for Sapura;'\cergy to ensure the compliance with the
Japanese regulatory !-equi!-ements especially \;vhen English is not widely
used as the medium of communication. ,6.s such, an engagement of a
local legal consultant in Tokyo has facilitated SapuraAcergy to establish
a Japan Branch Office (1BO) in !waki-City, Fukushima-prefecture,
application of a Construction LKense for SapuraAcergy, application of
Aviation ljght License for Sapura 3000, personnel \/isq fulfillment and
othel- loca! requirements prior to the execution of the offshol-e
campaign in Japan by Sapura 3000. A Sapur-aAcergy JBO representative
and local Project Engineer was appointed to administer the JBO. Having
a loca l employee has helped the communications between SapuraAcergy
with the local client, suppliers, contractors, government and the
community. It is also learnt that lengthy pel'iod is required for any
fonnalities in Japan. in addition, al! documentation shal! be tl-ansiatea ill
Japanese. As slIch, it is essential to prepare a complete documentation
to shorten the process. The JBO is closed and Construction License is
cancelled I-ight after the completion of the pmject. A.II requirements
were achieved on time or ahead of schedule.
Ach ievements/ResuIts
The Iwaki Platform Decommissioning Project was
SapuraAcergy's maiden decommissioning project
Some key facts include
.. Approximately 276,500 manhollrs were expended
onboard the Sapura 3000
e The total vessel duration was 92 days, of which
approximately 60 days were on site. This was two
days longer than planned
e Seven critical path weather days were incurred
.. Zero lost time incidents were incurred
.. Invaluable experience has been gained from the
Iwaki decommissioning project - this shall enable
SapuraAcergy to execute even more challenging
projects III the future, with confidence we shall
