INTERVENTION
Subsea 7 is a world leader in underwater remote intervention technology services and
is one of the largest saturation diving companies in the world. A fleet of over 120
remotely operated vehicles is supported by a team of in-house electrical, software,
structural and mechanical engineers who are specialists in the design and operation of
bespoke remote tooling for global deepwater markets.
INCREMENTAL CAPEX
Modifications to the infrastructure of subsea fields to extend life or expand capacity is
becoming increasingly required on fields to maximise recovery from the field assets.
Subsea 7 is able to deliver this capability as part of a life-of-field service by combining
it with inspection, maintenance and other operations support activities.

During the life of the field (green life line) it will pass through numerous points of
change based upon its operability, condition and the needs of the client. Subsea 7
Life-of-Field services is in a position to monitor and manage these changes from
day one to maximise the potential of the reserves.
Through integrity assurance and management of the field, along with historical
experience, key points of intervention and development can be identified and
actioned efficiently and effectively.

Inspection Services
Subsea 7, 2010
By integrating its integrity management (IM) services within its Life-of-Field Services, Subsea 7 not only provides an assetfocussed IM service but also uses IM to drive improvements in the efficient and cost-effective project delivery of IRM and
incremental CAPEX.
The goal is therefore to drive economies through both the construction and operation cycles, and in this way deliver optimised
costs over the life-time of the asset.

Pipeline Repair Systems (PRS) are now coming to the fore as field developments get
deeper and remote intervention becomes the most cost effective repair method. The
Girassol PRS, pictured, designed and developed by Subsea 7 successfully completed
its first pipeline repair in 1,300m of water in Angola, showing that Subsea 7 has the inhouse capabilities to service any field at any depth.

Subsea 7s track record of executing successful projects around the world for its
clients is based on the delivery of products and services safely and efficiently on
an ongoing basis. This involves forming teams of people, drawn from existing
resources across its global organisation, and working effectively to deliver
consistently on specific project objectives, irrespective of location or scope. This
requires high-quality project leadership, flexibility of resources and compliance
with robust project execution processes.
People
Continuous Improvement
Subsea 7 has further bolstered its project delivery through a series of wellestablished initiatives:
Critical Supply Networks safeguard key areas of the supply-chain
Vessel Support Teams host and exchange knowledge and expertise in the
capability and operation of vessels
Knowledge Management shares best practice across a dynamic workforce
17 Engineering Centres of Excellence provide technical expertise to projects
As a result of $1bn + investment in new assets and equipment between 2006 and
2010, eight new vessels will join the Subsea 7 fleet, expanding its global capacity
to over 20 vessels and enhancing its capability, in particular for deepwater project
execution. Much of the specialist pipelay and construction equipment has been
developed in close collaboration with Subsea 7s equipment providers. In addition,
an in-house Remote Technology Group provides specialist engineering expertise
to support a wide variety of field development and Life-of-Field challenges and has,
over the years, been a pioneer in the development of many technical innovations
that the industry now takes for granted.
Subsea 7 is well placed to service all the major oil and gas basins globally with
state-of-the-art pipeline spoolbase and fabrication facilities at Luanda in Angola,
Vigra in Norway, Wick in Scotland, Port Isabel in the Gulf of Mexico and Ubu in
Brazil. A significant investment programme in all these facilities in recent years is
designed to ensure that major deepwater projects can be serviced by Subsea 7
cost-effectively and efficiently, offering a full range of pipeline, riser and subsea
equipment fabrication capabilities.

An in-house Technology and Assets team works closely with the regional business
units, operational departments, academic institutes and other research providers to
deliver a client-orientated service from concept development and detailed design to
build supervision, acceptance testing, offshore mobilisation and the operation of the
equipment. Over the last decade Subsea 7 has successfully developed a range of new
pipeline and riser designs, pipelay equipment and on-deck handling systems, bundle
pipe technology, manifolds, ROV and AUV designs, intervention and construction
tooling.
Dedicated HSEQ managers within Subsea 7 work inside the business and the supply
chain to ensure that all areas comply with the companys business management
system and strive to ensure that they share knowledge across the organisation, reduce
non-value-added processes and create best practice. All this is achieved with a strong
focus on safe working.
In recent years Subsea 7 has also supported the development of novel technology to
assist with seabed survey and monitoring, wire rope deployment and riser design.
Subsea 7 is regarded globally by its clients as one of the leading contractors for safety
performance. This is a direct result of the number one priority status that Subsea 7
gives to safety, including the role played by senior management for sponsor visits,
and global safety programmes such as Accountability for Safety and Behavioural
Safety.
The company is actively engaged in a number of R&D projects including new riser
design and build concepts, the next generation of AUV and clad rigid pipeline design
and welding, all targeted to extend the life of the field and assist with new field
development, in particular overcoming the challenges of deepwater development.
Subsea 7 is also a pioneer in the use of on-line safety and quality management
applications, such as Synergi which helps the company to manage its performance and
records actions and learnings, and Solcara, a global web-based emergency response
management tool.
