OJS Awarded the Entire Langeled Project
June 2006

OJS selection by Allseas this month, to undertake the field joint services on its 2006 section of the Statoil Langeled Trunkline Project, completed the "set" of Langeled contracts for OJS.

In total OJS has been awarded three contracts covering the entire Langeled scope with over 1,100km of field joint infill on the pipeline from Norway to UK, the longest subsea pipeline in the world.

In order to complete this work OJS will procure, ship, provide logistical services and apply over 4,000 tonnes of High Density Polyurethane Foam (HDPF) infill material and 93,000 patented Sea Sleeve/Intrafuse forms. The work shall be performed onboard the LB 200 and Solitaire with the installation program spanning both the 2005 and 2006 pipelay seasons.

OJS Langelend Project Statistics
Contractor	Year of Installation	Pipeline Dia (ins)	Pipeline Length (Km)	No. of field joints
Acergy	2005	44 & 42	465	38,200
Allseas	2005	44 & 42	78	6,360
Acergy	2006	42	354	29,000
Allseas	2006	44	238	19,500
Totals			1,135 Km	93,050

During the 465km Acergy pipelay program in 2005, OJS achieved a reliability performance of almost 100% "uptime". Only 8 minutes downtime was recorded in almost 8 months of pipelay operations onboard the LB 200 pipelay vessel.

In addition to the above, the field joint specification for the 2006 part of the trunkline called for an offshore industry first. The energy impact absorption specification for the HDPF was increased to 12.2 Kj compared to the 2005 requirement of 7 Kj. This called for significant re-formulation of the HDPF chemistry by OJS R & D department and extensive pre-qualification testing in Q4 2005.

The LB 200 is currently installing the 2006 pipelay scope and the Solitaire is due to commence mid year. Completion of pipelay is expected in Q4 this year.

OJS Wins Largest Field Joint Infill Contract in the History of the Offshore Pipeline Industry (1,000 Km)
November 2004

OJS has been awarded two pipeline field joint infill contracts on the Ormen Lange development project consisting of 900 km of 44"/42" dia. trunkline and 100km of 42"/30" dia. trunkline between Norway and the UK. The combined work provides the largest field joint infill award to a single subcontractor the offshore industry has seen in it extensive history.

The larger scope, the Langeled export system, was awarded by Stolt Offshore AS and the second scope by Solitaire Marine Contractors S.A and Tog Mor Marine Contractors S.A. using the LB 200, Solitaire and Tog Mor vessels respectively. OJS will provide its patented Sea Sleeve and HDPF infill system and its extensive experience of logistics management on large pipelay projects.

The Langeled scope includes the installation of the longest subsea pipeline in the world. The pipeline forms part of the Ormen Lange project and will transport gas from Nyhamna in northern Norway to Easington, England and will provide 20% of the UK gas requirements. Installation is planned from March to September, in both 2005 and 2006.

The Solitaire and Tog Mor work will be performed during the 2005 pipelay season with extensive additional pipelay planned for this field development in 2006.

OJS Participates in the World Offshore Pipelay Record
December 2003

During December 2003, OJS was part of a world record in Field Joint Coating Services on board the Allseas pipelay vessel Solitaire. OJS provided field joint services that resulted in 9.2km (5.75m) of pipelay in a single day. This world record was achieved in the Gulf of Mexico, on the Phoenix 18" O.D. (19.05mm W.T.) pipeline project using double joints and Fusion Bonded Epoxy (FBE) anti-corrosion coating. OJS significantly contributed to the reduced cycle time with its 'High Speed' automated field joint blasting, pre-heat and FBE coating equipment and experienced personnel.

Paul Pool, President and Co-Founder of OJS, complimented the team: "This is a remarkable achievement by Allseas and OJS. OJS entered this market sector less than one year ago. Delivering a world record so soon demonstrates the effectiveness of our technology and the commitment of our personnel. We look forward to rapidly expanding this service to other regions in our industry."

In addition to the Phoenix project, OJS was awarded the Gunnison, Marco Polo, and Cameron Highway field joint coating contracts by Allseas. These projects total approximately 650 km (400 miles) of FBE coated pipelines and SCR's installed from either the Solitaire or Lorelay pipelay vessels in the Gulf of Mexico this season.
