(UPDATED THROUGH MARCH, 2006); DRILLING WD RECORDS SOURCE: TRANSOCEAN.
The once significant water depth gap between the ability to evaluate and drill for oil and gas
in deepwater and the ability to develop is expected to close in the years to come.

Notes: 1. Semi-FPU facilities capacity is payload governed. 2. Information is based upon Offshore Magazine/Mustang Engineerings 2000 Worldwide Survey of Deepwater Production Solutions.
3. Gas processing capacity is converted to BOE/day by dividing by 6. 4. Deep Draft Semis are: Technips EDF (Extended Draft Floater), Technips TPG 3300, Aker Kvrners DDS for marginal fields, and Doris Engineerings ARCH 5000.
5. Atlantis throughput rating includes nameplate and sparing capacity. 6. Shell Perdido Regional Host.
Notes: 1. VLT - Very Large Turret (SOFECs concept). 2. EDP - Extendable Draft Platform (Technip Coflexip). 3. For developments with >10 wells, Ramunia Ocean Resource recommends 2 control buoys. 4. Based on same flowline loop.

Information Accuracy: Every attempt has been made to identify, locate and establish the most current
and correct information for all of the various types of deepwater production solutions either operating
or sanctioned worldwide. No installed, sanctioned deepwater, nor pending approval facility was
intentionally excluded from the survey. In some cases the most current information was not included
because information was not supplied in time or the project was not sanctioned at press time. We
make no guarantee that this list is all inclusive. We have summarized the capability and operating
experience, by acting as a neutral party and integrator of information. We have collected information
from company brochures, personal interviews, phone interviews, press releases,
industry magazines, contractor supplied information, and web sites. Neither Mustang
Engineering, L.P. nor Offshore Magazine guarantees or assumes any responsibility
or liability for any reliance on the information presented. If any information is found
to be incorrect, not current, or needs to be added, please send your comments to
