Challenging industry landscape
• Oil price declines
• Tighter budgets
• Smaller margins
• Increased regulation
• More JVs and partnerships
• Increasing project costs
• Bigger & more complex projects

Case Study: ABADI FLNG
Tabitha PendleburyInterface Systems Engineer
Over 15 year oil and gas industry experience
10
ABADI FLNG Project Overview
• INPEX (65%) Shell (35%) Joint Venture
• 2 FLNG - Front End Engineering Design (FEED) contractors
• Single Subsea (below waterline) contractor
• Challenging information exchange between contractors for all interface information
• Probity rules created significant compliance requirements and risks
11
ABADI IM Challenges
• First FLNG designed in Indonesia
• Inexperienced local staff
• Indonesian legislative requirements and constraints
• >200 plus interfaces in total managed
• SURF Contractor started three (3) months before FLNG Contractor
12
Interface example on the ABADI FLNG
• Change - Addition of Fiber Optic readiness
• Impact - Changes to the following FLNG/ SURF interfaces;
– Cabling trays and pig tails
– Umbilicals
– Umbilical termination assembly
– Entire telecommunications strategy and design
• Resolution – Central team to ensure the Management of Change included processes to:
– Identify impacts to all interfaces
– Define impacts
– Manage impacts
– Communicate to all stakeholders
13
Interface Management emerging best practices
• Upfront process definition Pre FEED
• Process driven communication
• Cross organization coordination
• Consistent interface management processes across contracts and organizations
• Support of seamless handover through commissioning and start up
14
Overcoming Challenges
Challenge Manual process System process
Information exchange Email, FTP, error prone Secure auditable central system
IT resources Create and manage spread sheets and distribution lists
Little to no IT support
File size and compatibility issues
Inability to email or open files No file size limits and integrated viewer
Security Email is not secure and files can be forwarded
All communication is within a secure environment and all activity is tracked
Time spent transmitting documents
Manual sending of multiple versions to multiple parties
Everything needed is in one central location available from anyplace anytime
Dispute over incorrect/ undelivered documents
Searching through sent boxes and transmittal logs
Clear audit trail with accountability
15
