PART I - THE BASIC PLATFORM

SECTION 1 - GENERAL CONDITIONS

1-01 DESCRIPTION

The Platform shall consist of a welded steel hull roughly triangularly shaped in plan and
equipped with three (3) legs. Each leg shall have a bearing type footing which can be
lowered to the bottom and on which the hull can elevate itself above the water's surface.

Elevating and lowering the legs and/or the hull is accomplished by a LeTourneau electro-
mechanical rack and pinion elevating system. Power for the electric motors of this
system is obtained from the Owner-furnished diesel electric generators installed on the
platform. The crew accommodation house is located on the main deck to the sides and
aft of the forward leg.

Two (2) longitudinal cantilever beams are located on the main deck aft of the
accommodation house, and are spaced 30 feet on either side of the hull centerline. These
beams can be moved in a longitudinal direction by means of a LeTourneau electro-
mechanical rack & pinion skidding system to enable the drilling structure to be
cantilevered over the stern of the Platform when elevated. The structure supporting the
derrick and drill floor is mounted on the aft end of the cantilever beams. An additional
LeTourneau skidding system permit the substructure/drill floor to be moved transversely
15 feet either side of hull centerline. Longitudinal skidding of the subbase, independent
of the cantilever beams, is also provided by a LeTourneau skidding system.

1-02 DEFINITIONS

1-07 DRAWINGS, LAYOUTS, SKETCHES AND CALCULATIONS

The Contract Plans are not intended to delineate all details of the work to be performed.
In particular the scantling plans, even when already approved by the Classification
Society, do not purport to show all structure required to build this design. The Builder
shall have included in his Contract price the cost of such additional steel work as may be
required by the Classification Society when working drawings are submitted for approval
and for scantling increases mutually agreed to which the Owner, under change order,
may request for Builder developed structure not shown on the Contract Plans.
The Builder shall develop his own detailed measurements, prepare and provide full
composite (for machinery space, accommodation corridors) piping, electrical cable ways
and ventilation layouts, all working and construction drawings, shop drawings, sketches
and calculations. The Designer has provided some such drawings and data from a
previously built Platform for the Builder’s guidance; while the use of these Guidance
Drawings, “as-is” by the Designer, may be done in lieu of development of their own
information, Designer is not responsible for any errors, omissions or construction
suitability of such Guidance Drawings and Builder is using at their own risk. Drawing,
layouts, sketches and calculations shall be submitted to and approved by Classification
Society as applicable and as required by Class Society. Designer is responsible for
submittal of basic hull, leg and drill package structural drawings together with associated
structural and stability calculations required for Classification and statutory compliance.
Builder is responsible for submittal of piping, electrical, outfitting and ventilation
drawings and schematics as required by Class. Approval, if any, of these drawings by the
Owner, Designer or Classification Society does not relieve Builder of his responsibility
to provide a complete and operable Vessel in accordance with the requirements of these
Specifications and Contract Plans.
The party (Builder/Owner) responsible for supply of equipment shall provide the Builder
with required drawings, calculations and certificates for items of Builder-Furnished
Equipment and Owner-Furnished Equipment. Drawings used by the Builder for
construction will be equivalent to the intent of Designer’s drawings but may differ
somewhat from those submitted for approval. These differences typically do not require

Page 21 of 155
resubmittal of the drawings and are approved by the local surveyor. The "as-built"
drawings will reflect these changes by electronic red-line mark up.
1-08 DRAWING APPROVAL

The Builder shall provide the Owner and Designer, within thirty (30) calendar days after
the Contract date, a schedule of working drawings to be submitted for approval. The
schedule shall list for each drawing the proposed and actual submittal dates, approval
dates and revision submittal and approval dates. The schedule shall be updated quarterly
and resubmitted to the Owner and Designer.
Builder will submit three (3) prints of the General Arrangements, Electrical and Piping
System Schematics and/or Arrangements, Quarters Arrangement and Outfitting drawings
to Owner's Representative for approval prior to construction. Structural drawings will
not be submitted by Builder for approval, but one (1) print will be provided for
information only at the time of release to production.
Drawings submitted for approval and not returned within ten (10) working days
from receipt will be assumed to be "approved without comment". Any drawings
returned with comments or revisions per the specification will be resubmitted to the
Designer and Owner’s Representative for approval within five (5) working days for
approval action. Any changes made by Designer and/or Owner’s Representative not
in the Agreement or Specification will be subject to a Change Order as per the
Agreement.
Builder shall submit to the appropriate agencies the required plans, calculations,
firefighting and lifesaving features, general arrangements and specifications for approval.
Submittals shall include pertinent vendor plans and certificates of OFE furnished items
where available from Owner. Builder shall prepare pertinent vendor plans and
certificates of BFE furnished items for submittal to appropriate agencies.
The Builder shall issue all drawings submitted to and returned by the Classification
and/or Certifying Authority to the Owner and Designer within fourteen (14) working
days of receipt.
1-09 PROPRIETARY DRAWINGS

It is specifically agreed that the design drawings, construction drawings and data
provided by Designer to Owner and Builder are the property of LeTourneau
Technologies, Inc. and shall contain technical information of a confidential proprietary
nature. Without LeTourneau’s consent, Owner and Builder shall not, except as may be
reasonably appropriate to inspect and/or verify the work performed by Builder hereunder
or to make repairs or modifications to the Platform, duplicate these drawings and data or
divulge their contents to any third person other than per terms of the Construction and
License Agreements. Designer is not responsible for changes or alterations made by
Owner, Builder or other party.

Page 22 of 155
1-10 PROGESS SCHEDULE

Builder shall prepare and submit a master schedule and progress reports monthly as part
of a project meeting to Owner in a form satisfactory for the purposes of establishing an
orderly and systematic construction program.
1-11 WEIGHT AND CENTER OF GRAVITY

Within ninety (90) calendar days after date of contract award, Builder shall submit for
approval an independently prepared estimate of lightship weight and centers of gravity.
Thereafter, Builder shall be responsible for monitoring the structural and outfitting
weights and centers.
1-12 PHOTOGRAPHS

During construction of the Platform, Builder shall take approximately twenty-five (25)
digital photographs per month according to progress of construction and shall furnish
Owner with one set of these photos. Upon completion of the Platform, Builder shall take
approximately two hundred (200) digital photographs showing interior view as directed
and furnish copy of photos to Owner. An electronic copy of all photographs shall be
provided after delivery of the unit date stamped and organized by subject matter / area on
a CD-ROM.
1-13 MATERIAL AND WORKMANSHIP

All material, machinery and equipment furnished by Builder shall be new and of a grade
suitable for the marine and industrial service intended.
1-14 INSPECTION

Platform is to be built, equipped and delivered under the inspection and approval of
Owner, Classification and Regulatory Bodies.
Builder shall have a quality assurance plan in place to ensure the quality of design,
workmanship and material employed in the construction of the Platform.
Builder is responsible for properly presenting all completed work for inspection giving
one day (24 hours) and three days (72 hours) for weekend / holidays notice to Owner,
Classification and Regulatory Bodies. Lack of attendance by witnessing party shall not
entitle that party from holding progress on construction.
1-15 SUBSTITUTIONS

Where materials, fittings or equipment is specified herein by vendor, brand or trade name
it is the intent that such product be furnished and installed by Builder. Where the terms
“or equal” or “similar to” are used in conjunction with such vendor, brand or trade name,
the Builder may offer articles that are functionally and quality equivalent, subject to
Owner’s written approval. Substitutions for any previously agreed equipment shall
require Owner approval prior to purchase. The acceptance or rejection of any substitution
proposal shall not be grounds for delay of Platform delivery or increase of cost except
where specifically stated in substitution proposal and agreed to thereupon in writing by
the Owner.
Page 23 of 155
SECTION 2 - ASSUMED CRITERIA AND LIMITATIONS

2-01 MODE DEFINITIONS AND CRITERIA

The Platform as described in this specification is designed to withstand the storm


environmental conditions listed in Tables 1-2.1 and 1-2.2 while in the applicable
elevated storm mode. This mode exists when the total imposed load does not exceed the
limits of Part I, Section 2-05. Under this condition, the drilling operations have ceased,
the load on the legs has been equalized and the Platform has been put in the storm mode
as defined in the Operating Manual.
Normal elevated operations exist when the Platform is not in the storm mode. The total
imposed load does not exceed the limits of Part I, Section 2-05. The environmental limits
(for this mode) are a function of the maximum leg reaction, which, in turn, is a function
of the variable load, the drilling loads and their distribution. These limits are to be
described in the Operating Manual.

Table 1-2.2 assumes the following parameters:
Maximum storm elevated weight of:
1) Severe Storm 25,200 kips
2) Drilling 29,700 kips
3) Preload 47,640 kips

 Storms assume that cantilever is extended 30 ft aft of transom, except for Storms
S3x = cantilever stowed w/ rotary 20 ft fwd. of transom.
 Rig loading is managed to achieve equal weight reactions on each leg.
 Water depth includes all tides (both astronomical and storm surge)
 Air gap is measured from still water level (SWL) to underside of hull
 Wind velocity is based on 1-minute mean at 10 meters above SWL
 Wave height denotes maximum wave height, (Hmax)
 “P” denotes Storms with pinned foundation; and “F” with fixity.

The ratings in tables 1-2.1 and 1-2.2 are based on:


- LeTourneau calculations per ABS MODU Rules, AISC 9th Ed. & SNAME TR 5-5A.
- No marine growth or icing of legs or hull is assumed; 3 leg mounted water caissons are
assumed.
- Percent (%) soil fixity, calculated per ABS SC-S RS methodology (where included),
and ranges from 1.5% to 10.0%.
- Dynamic effects per TR 5-5A include 5% damping and spectral period.
- A minimum factor of safety against overturning of 1.1 about the leg centroids is
maintained.

Note: Owner changes that impact the overall projected area and windage of the Platform (i.e.
increased quarters, helideck, derrick, leg length etc.) could result in a decrease in
allowable environmental conditions. Derrick size is assumed at 36’ x 36’ x 175’.
2-02 LIMITATIONS

The maximum water depth, including tides, as stated in table 1-2.1 above, assumes a given
leg penetration.

1. Any increase in the penetration will result in a corresponding decrease in the


maximum allowable water depth.

2. Any decrease in penetration may not increase the maximum allowable water
depth.

Approval for a specific site may be subject to an independent site assessment per
SNAME T&R Bulletin 5-5 and 5-5A.

Page 27 of 155
2-03 ACCIDENTAL LOADS

In the elevated drilling condition, the Platform will be designed to withstand the theoretical
impact on the leg due to a collision of a 5,000 tonne supply vessel traveling at 2 m/s as
assessed per DNV Guidance Notes.

The Builder shall supply an impact load-rated drill floor (Ref: Part II, Sec. 4-04).

2-04 STRUCTURAL SERVICE TEMPERATURE

The design atmospheric service temperature for this Platform is -20°C (-4°F). The design
seawater temperature is 0°C (32°F), with no ice. The service temperature of -20°C (-4°F)
shall be used for steel selection in accordance with the Classification Rules. Internal
structures adjacent to decks are to have the same service temperature as the deck. Internal
structure in permanently heated rooms will be designed for 0°C (32º F). Spud can steel will
be designed for -2°C (28°F) due to immersion underwater during normal usage, however,
material selection is based on 0°C (32°F) as per Classification Rules.

2-05 ELEVATED LOAD CAPACITIES

The Platform will have the capability of normal elevating and lowering (normal elevating
load) and holding in a severe storm condition evenly distributed between the three (3) legs
as defined by Storm Mode in Table 1-2.3. The maximum elevating load is the sum of the
basic, stationary fixed, moveable fixed and variable load as defined by Normal Elevating
Mode column in Table 1-2.3.

During preloading operations, the Platform can be intermittently elevated with a maximum
total elevating load as defined by Preload Elevating Mode in Table 1-2.3 evenly distributed
between the three (3) legs. Maximum holding capacity during preload operation is defined
by Preload Mode in Table 1-2.3 evenly distributed between the three (3) legs.

With the hull elevated in the normal drilling mode and the cantilever assembly extended in
a drilling position, the Platform will have the capability of holding the maximum elevated
weight as described and limited in the Operating Manual. Under no condition is the total
elevated weight to exceed the limitation defined in Table 1-2.3 or any individual vertical
leg reaction to exceed the preloaded value or load limit stated in the Operating Manual.

Typical weight allocations for this class platform are given in Table 1-2.3.

Maximum setback load under Normal Transit is limited by Owner’s final derrick
selection and Warranty Surveyor approval of tie down, but shall be limited to a maximum
of 300 kips and shall be limited to field moves only. No setback is allowed in Severe
Storm conditions.

Dry Tow: Limitations of pitch, roll, yaw, surge, sway and heave motion, weight and KG
depend on the dry tow vessel’s characteristics and motions. Allowable leg length during a
dry tow is subject to Warranty Surveyor criteria and approval.

2-07 BASIC LOAD

Includes the hull steel, elevating gear units, guides and brace beam, hatches, watertight
doors, manholes, ladders, handrails, breakwater, bilge and eductor system, preload fills and
dumps, fire main system, tank vents and sounding tubes, aids-to-navigation, lighting,
elevating unit controls and wiring, mud pit structure, cantilever skid pads, holddowns,
pushups and skidder system, bollards, cleats and basic hull paint and tank coating. Legs
and spud cans are also a Basic Load, but are accounted for as a separate line item because
they are moveable and not a part of the Elevated Load.

2-08 STATIONARY FIXED LOAD

Includes all items of outfit not included in the Basic Load of the Platform, such as cranes,
quarters structure, shaker house, helideck, anchor winches and fairleaders, sea water
caissons, lifesaving equipment, HVAC systems, piping and electrical systems, pipe racks
structure, all drilling equipment (except that on the movable Cantilever Assembly),
engines, generators and controls, pumps, compressors, and other such equipment
permanently attached to and stationary on the drilling Platform. All fluids in equipment at
normal operating levels such as lubricants and coolants are included; however, drilling
fluids are not included and are considered part of Variable Load.

Page 30 of 155
2-09 CANTILEVER ASSEMBLY / MOVEABLE FIXED LOAD

This load consists of the cantilever beams, elevated pipe rack, subbase, BOP Storage and
other platforms, drag chain, “cellar floor” (all movable fore-and-aft) and substructure, drill
floor, windbreak, derrick and associated drilling equipment (all movable fore-and-aft and
transverse).

BOP stacks, tools, drilling fluids and brake cooling water are not included and are
considered part of Variable Load.

2-10 VARIABLE LOAD

Variable loads consist of supplies or equipment that are expendable, readily removable,
or consumable during operations. This includes items such as drilling fluids not limited to
active liquid mud and cement, bulk mud, bulk cement, chemicals, brine, base oil and fuel
oil, fresh water, drill water, lube oil, waste oil, day tank liquids, brake cooling tank water,
waste containment, residual preload water, BOP’s, movable BOP access platform, drive
pipe support, logging units, well test equipment, tubulars, bits, tools, spares, stores, crew
and effects, etc. During drilling operation, Variable Load includes Supplementary Variable
and Drilling Loads.

2-11 SUPPLEMENTARY VARIABLE

An additional variable load of 1,500 kips (680 mt) is allowed for Normal Elevated
Operations after preloading the Platform. Supplementary Variable must be removed in
preparation for Afloat or Elevated Storm Conditions. The operation limitations will be
described in the Operating Manual.

2-12 DRILLING LOADS

Drilling loads are comprised of the combination of hook, rotary, setback and conductor
tension loads along with any tools, stores, BOP's, trip tank contents, drilling fluids, cooling
water and hydraulic fluids on the Cantilever Assembly. Under normal operations it may be
necessary to adjust the Variable Load distribution to achieve the required weight
distribution; this will be addressed in the Operating Manual. Pipe setback in the derrick
may remain so during elevated storm condition subject to the cantilever, subbase and
substructure skidding limitations defined in the Operating Manual and the derrick’s
structural capacity defined by the derrick manufacturer.

1. Hook Load - Force acting through the derrick. This includes the weight of the
drill string and any applied tension.

2. Rotary Load - Weight of the tubulars hung off in the rotary.

3. Setback Load - Weight of the tubulars stored in the derrick set back areas.

Page 31 of 155
4. Conductor Tension / Drive Pipe Support Load - The vertical tension imposed on
the Cantilever Assembly in order to support the Conductor/Drive Pipe and BOP
assembly.

2-13 WEIGHT AND LOAD VARIANCES

The maximum elevated Variable Load capacity is a function of the allowable elevated
weight in conjunction with the maximum environmental limits and other design
constraints.

Therefore, increases in Hull Steel, Basic Load, Stationary Fixed Load and/or
Cantilever Assembly Load which are caused by Builder material substitutions and/or
Owner's rearrangements, additions to the platform, rule changes, certifying authority
requirements, etc., will result in a reduction of Variable Load capacity. Conversely,
any decrease in Hull Steel, Basic Load and/or Fixed Load will result in increased
Variable Load capacity.

2-14 PRELOAD

Preload is comprised of seawater temporarily pumped onboard into designated tanks on


the Platform during the preloading operation. Preload is used to simulate the vertical leg
reaction imposed on the soil foundation by storm environmental forces. The values
presented herein and in the Operations Manual are representative of 100% preload for the
design storms. Actual required preload for a specific operating site is subject to a site
assessment and Warranty Surveyor approval.

2-15 LOAD SUMMARY

The following is a categorized list of Basic, Fixed and Variable Load items typically
found on a Self-Elevating MODU. Note that equipment located on the Cantilever
Assembly is considered "Moveable Fixed Load". The purpose of the list is to indicate, in
more detail than the above paragraphs, the categories into which numerous items of
equipment are normally assigned. It is not intended to be all-inclusive.

drawings using approved symbols. Other welding details and procedures shall be
indicated in standard welding procedures, drawings or instructions.

Should visual inspection show that thickness, surface contour, or appearance of continuity
of any strength weld is not in accordance with applicable approved working drawing or
should radiographic (RT), magnetic particle (MT) or ultrasonic testing (UT) of any weld
indicate a defect of an unacceptable nature per Classification Society standards; the weld
shall be carefully cut out for the extent of defect, re-welded and re-inspected at the
Builder’s expense.

All welds shall have acceptable penetration and shall be reasonably free from
undercutting.

Page 37 of 155
Skip or chain welding of hull scantlings is not allowed. The welding of all beams,
stiffeners, gussets, brackets, etc. above or below deck shall be double continuously
welded. All stiffeners in exposed areas such as the underside of the helideck, throughout
the shaker house and the cantilever assembly shall be welded double continuous to
prevent corrosion. Staggered welding of stiffeners to deck plating in accordance with
ABS Rule requirements is allowed for the interior spaces of the crew quarter’s only.

4-04 FOUNDATIONS

It shall be the responsibility of the Builder to provide all foundations and under deck
support for proper distribution of loadings into the hull structure for all machinery,
equipment, ancillary structures and outfitting as shown on the Contract Plans. The Builder
shall submit plans and calculations, as required, to Owner and the Classification Society
for their approval.

Layouts of equipment on the Contract Plans are provided as guidance and are subject to
minor relocation by the Owner and/or Builder to suit operational requirements (including
access) or local conditions including installation and hook-up. Construction layouts shall
be developed from Contract Plans for layout approval by Owner. Following approval of
construction layouts, relocation of equipment proposed by Builder is subject to written
Owner approval and relocation of equipment by Owner which causes an impact on cost
and/or schedule shall be negotiated as a Change Order with Builder.

Foundation design shall give special attention to the minimization or other control of
vibrations and structural borne transmission of noise and vibrations.

Foundations shall act as complete supports against all loading conditions, including
Platform pitch, roll and heave motions and shall support the equipment in accordance
with manufacturer’s recommendations. Foundations shall be designed to preclude locking
in thermal expansions.

4-05 LOADINGS

The main deck and machinery decks are designed for a 500 lbs/square foot uniform
loading. Quarter’s top decks are designed for 125 lbs/square foot uniform loading and
walkways are designed for 94 lbs/square foot uniform loading. Pipe rack beams on the
main deck are designed for a load of 5,000 lbs./linear foot of beam per beam. These
uniform loadings are approximate.
