Safe Scandinavia future opportunities

  • In addition to marketing the vessel for TSV- and Accommodation Services, Prosafe is in dialogue with blue chip companies to collaborate within Plug and Abandonment (P&A) and Decommissioning:
  • Well Plug & Abandonment: ambition to reduce the total project time for P&A by 30-50% with activities undertaken in parallel
  • Well intervention
  • "Making Safe" / other Decommissioning preparation activities concurrently with P&A
  • Vessel is being marketed globally

Firm order backlog development

  • Prosafe's firm backlog has fallen to USD 273 million per Q1 2018
  • Strategy of fleet renewal to be well positioned in all key markets when demand returns
  • Require M&M to come back to replace current activity which is predominantly HUC
  • Require demand to pick up in both North Sea, Brazil and Mexico

M&M impacted by significant reduction in intensity

Maintenance intensity significantly down with the M&M-market as victim

North Sea activity – Currently only HUC – Waiting for M&M

  • M&M work has been the primary driver of demand on the North Sea, comprising of 74% of the historical work by duration.
  • However, in 2017 and into 2018, this has flipped with the only work being done being primarily HUC.
  • This is primarily based on high dayrate contracts entered into in the previous upcycle.
  • HUC work is typically long-lead time and long duration. The forward visibility is about 2 to 3 years.

North Sea Activity Profile (Current)

General M&M indicators - NS

  • Oil and gas fields in the North Sea on stream longer than initially planned for.
  • Current market remains predominantly hook-up and commissioning work.
  • Anticipated that life extension, upgrade, modification and maintenance (M&M) will come back

International will be a focus…but will require compliant vessels

Brazil

  • Commoditised market for assets that meet Petrobras' General Technical Descriptions ("GTD").
  • Prosafe units that meet the current GTD and can operate in this segment are the Boreas, Zephyrus and Notos.
  • Bulk of demand has been the modification of old projects in the Campos Basin.
  • Only known unit for HUC is the installation of two wellhead platforms on Statoil's Peregrino field.

Mexico

  • Mexico is similar to Brazil, primarily MMO activity.
  • Majority of activity is related to fixed platforms in shallow, benign waters relatively close to shore.
  • Although historically HUC was not a primary demand driver, this may change – although likely beyond 2020.
  • Supply in Mexico has been falling due to units being removed from the market.

Prospects & Tendering

  • Six tenders ongoing for 2018 through 2020.
  • The prospect list with a three-year look-out remains at a high level.
  • 22 North Sea prospects with high probability of going to tender next 3 years.
  • Risk related to projects being pushed out in time.

Rebalancing and fleet renewal to continue

  • Bifurcation of industry by legacy and modern fleet:
  • Legacy fleet of 18 units (6 have been scrapped and another 7 units assumed scrapped in '18-'19)
  • Modern fleet of 22 units (6 newbuilds)
  • 50% of newbuilds owned by Prosafe
  • Prosafe 2017 utilisation by segment:
  • Legacy fleet about 10%
  • Modern fleet about 70%
  • Long-term, the global fleet is expected to fall from ~40 units to 25-27 units, a reduction of ~33% of supply (~ fleet size of 2014).
