1.0 INTRODUCTION
CLIENT), acting on its behalf as Technical Partner and on behalf of its partners
CONTRACTOR A, and CONTRACTOR B, intend to develop the Akepo Field at
OML-90.

The existing Akepo-1 well is located at Lat N 05 deg 15 18.837 Long E 05 deg
16 34.894. This exploratory well has recently been re-entered, tested and
completed. At the present level of completion, the well has been installed with a
free standing 30-inch conductor, with a Christmas tree at the top end. There is
no other structure at the well location presently.

CONTRACTOR with its partner CONTRACTOR C has been awarded a contract

to undertake Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) for the design,
materials procurement, fabrication / construction, and installation of the Akepo
wellhead deck structure, process piping and its pipelines to tie-in at the Crude
Processing Facility (CPF) installed within NAOC Beneboye Flowstation perimeter.

The Plan in conjunction with CONTRACTORs HSE Plan shall ensure that Loss
Prevention is maximized during the Load-Out phase of the project.

The Load-Out activities shall be performed from Onne CONTRACTOR Cs pipe

storage to CONTRACTORs Worji Base Yard, where all materials and equipment
shall be assembled and subsequently loaded out from to project sites via the
jetty to the Work/Lay Barge at the open Calabar River using the Utility barges
and Trucks.

Particular emphasis has been made to ensure harmonious Security network

within, around, the load-out jetty, Mid River, and en-route Worji, Warri and
Offshore.

2.0 SCOPE
2.1 This procedure defines the minimum requirement, methods to be
applied and equipment to be used during the Load-Out and Sea-
Fastening of the Equipment, Facilities, and Pre-fabrication on
transportation Truck, Vessel/Craft using Cranes.
2.2 CONTRACTOR shall use Cranes, Trucks, and Flat top barges to Load-
Out all fabricated structures.

3.0 DEFINITIONS
3.1 Load-out
Load-out is the process of moving and materials and/or structures from
Onne CONTRACTOR Cs pipe storage to CONTRACTORs Worji Base
Yard, Warri and Offshore
3.2 Sea-Fastening
Sea-Fastening is the process of installation of tie-down braces in such a
way as to minimize damage to the Linepipes, Equipment or Structure on
the vehicle or water craft to provide a safe tie-down system during Load-
out.
