- 9.4
- Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Clause 9, the Contractor shall at all times pay the highest regard to the safety of its operations and nothing in this
Clause 9 shall be construed so as to require the Contractor to maintain Production at rates which prejudice safety.

- At the request of the Xxxxxx Operator the Parties undertake to discuss in good faith and agree procedures for the nomination of volumes of gas to be exported or re-injected into the Xxxxxx Field on a daily basis in accordance with the provisions of the gas sales and transportation arrangements to be entered into by the Xxxxxx Co-venturers.
12
- 9.6
- It
is agreed that from 1st September 2001, Gas FHR Regime applies. On a daily basis the FPSO OIM and the Operator's Representative will agree the Agreed Daily
Capacity and the Available Well Capacity. The lesser of these two (the "Target Gas Rate") will be included in the FPSO Daily Report. The Target Gas Rate supercedes any values of well rates set in the
monthly Production Schedule. If the Operator considers that the Gas FHR Regime should cease to apply (for example if oil production ceases to be constrained by gas handling capacity and becomes
constrained by oil processing capacity), he shall advise the Contractor to this effect, and the Parties shall meet to negotiate and agree in good faith the required modifications to the Target Gas
Rate, Gas Production Efficiency, Agreed Daily Capacity and any other parameters for the new regime.
- 9.7
- If
the Xxxxxx Co-venturers have wholly funded modifications to the Contractor's Equipment, to increase the Agreed Daily Capacity, then the Functional Specification shall
be amended to reflect the increase in gas compression capacity resulting from such modifications. If the Xxxxxx Co-venturers have partially funded such modifications, then the Parties
shall meet to discuss in good faith how to amend the Functional Specification so that it reflects the increase in gas compression capacity in proportion to Xxxxxx Co-venturers funding.
- 9.8
- Flaring
rates are a function of the following parameters:
- (i)
- Flare
used versus remaining consents
- (ii)
- DTI
concerns
- (iii)
- Well
configurations
- (iv)
- Length of predicted outage
The Xxxxxx Operator is responsible for agreeing, with the regulatory authorities, flare consent for the field, and also for negotiating short-term flaring rates during periods of unplanned Contractor Downtime. The Xxxxxx Operator will attempt to negotiate rates that allow reasonable level of production to continue during such periods. The Parties will meet from time to time to discuss and agree flaring rates during periods of equipment unavailability for which the Xxxxxx Operator will be able to obtain the consent of the regulatory authorities. Rates for which consent can be reasonably assumed are currently not less than:
Period of Gas Compression System Shutdown |
Flaring Rate |
|
---|---|---|
0-12 hours | 30 MMscf/d | |
12-24 hours | 15 MMscf/d | |
beyond 24 hours | 8 MMscf/d |
Such rates to be to be reduced if no longer considered acceptable by the regulatory authorities.
13
- 9.9
- The Contractor agrees to use best endeavours to ensure accurate metering during Gas FHR Regime. In order to ensure the reliability of gas rate measurements, a gas metering system integrity audit has been performed to identify equipment anomalies and has determined the acceptable equipment accuracy figure / tolerance band for future use to be plus or minus four percent (4%) of true value. Any system anomalies found during the integrity audit, or additional metering equipment identified as being necessary to achieve the agreed figure, will be identified in the final report and will be addressed and implemented in good time. The final report will specify expected metering accuracies following the recommended upgrades and reconfiguration. Thereafter, an annual system audit will be performed by an independent third party, at the Contractor's cost, to ensure accuracy levels are maintained. The scope of this audit will be outlined in auditor's report as part of the initial system integrity audit. Additionally the frequency of audit will be annually, or as agreed between the Parties. Any offset or bias found as a result of any subsequent routine audit will be quantified and corrected by suitable adjustment of meter factors, or by maintenance to metering equipment. Any such corrections to meter factors to be applied until superceded by subsequent audit findings. Any maintenance recommended by the third party performing the audit will be implemented by the Contractor at the Contractor's expense, and will be treated as ordinary maintenance to the Contractor equipment, and will be carried out on-line, or scheduled with regular planned shutdowns so as not to cause production loss. Failure to conduct an audit within the required time, or failure to implement agreed recommendations of an audit report within 3 months of date of an audit, will be cause to suspend payment of the Performance Incentive until audit and/or agreed recommendations have been implemented.
CLAUSE 11 TRANSPORTATION
- 11.1
- The
Xxxxxx Operator has contracted Navion ASA for the provision of dedicated shuttle tankers for the off-take, transportation and discharge of Production from the FPSO at
such ports as may be directed by the Xxxxxx Operator all in accordance with the provisions of the TPFA which sets out the detailed arrangements for transportation of oil produced from the Xxxxxx
Field. In the event of the Xxxxxx operator replacing the TPFA, the terms of clause 11 shall apply mutatis mutandis to replacement arrangements for the off-take, transportation and
discharge of Production from the FPSO.
- 11.2
- Under the terms of the TPFA, the Xxxxxx Operator may become liable for certain amounts to the operator of the shuttle tankers including but not limited to payments when said tankers are delayed at the Xxxxxx Field or obliged to transport less than the nominated quantity.

not required to commence and continue Production, have been delivered to the Xxxxxx Field area and are installed, hooked up, commissioned and tested and are ready for production, as far as is
practicable, and the Xxxxxx Operator has taken such steps as it considers necessary to establish that the failure to achieve Commencement of Commercial Production is attributable to a failure of the
Xxxxxx reservoir or xxxxx or wellheads, then the Rate Commencement Date shall be the date upon which Commencement of Commercial Production would have been achieved but for such failure; or
- b)
- due to any action or inaction (including in relation to the drilling of xxxxx) on the part of the Xxxxxx Operator which prevents Commencement of Commercial Production, then the Rate Commencement Date shall be that date which would have been the date upon which Commencement of Commercial Production would have been achieved but for such action or inaction.
PROVIDED ALWAYS that the Rate Commencement Date shall not be before the TDCCP unless agreed by both Parties.

- Full Hire Rate (FHR)
12.3.1 | FHR shall apply from the Rate Commencement Date until the date seven (7) days after the demobilisation of the FPSO from the Field Area except: |
- (i)
- as
set out in Clause 3.9.2 (in which circumstances no rate shall be payable); or
- (ii)
- in
the event of a shutdown or Production for reclassification of the FPSO after the fifth anniversary of the Commencement of Commercial Production, for any period of
such shutdown in excess of twenty one (21) days (in which circumstances no rate shall be payable); or
- (iii)
- where
the Daily Rate is payable, as set out in Clause 12.4; or
- (iv)
- where the Force Majeure Rate is payable as set out in Clause 12.5.
12.3.2 | The FHR shall apply and payment shall be Operating Costs (as set out in Exhibit H) plus Hire Rate (as set out in Exhibit H) under the following circumstances: |
- (a)
- when
the average rate of Production:
- (i)
- exceeds
twenty thousand (20,000) barrels of oil a day in the first thirty (30) days after Commencement of Commercial Production; or

- (i)
- FPSO gas compression availability on the day is equal to the Agreed Daily Capacity of 115 MMscf/d, and there is excess well capacity, so Target Gas Rate is 115 MMscf/d. Actual production meeting or exceeding 85% of the Target Gas Rate will earn FHR;
16
- (ii)
- Compression
availability on each day of the month is 80 MMscf/d. Proven maximum throughput is still 115 MMscf/d, so Agreed Daily Capacity remains at 115 MMscf/d and
Target Gas Rate also remains at 115 MMscf/d.;
- (iii)
- Example
of how failures of Xxxxxx Equipment affects contractual payments. Because failures of Xxxxxx Equipment reduce Available Well Capacity from 120 to 60 MMscf/d,
the Target Gas Rate is reduced from 115 (in example (i)) to 60 MMscf/d; example (iii) also illustrates how Target Gas Rate would be reduced to equal the Available Well Capacity in event of well
testing or because field production has declined;

The FHR shall apply, but payment shall be Operating Costs (as set out in Exhibit H) plus a proportion of Hire Rate (as set out in Exhibit H). The proportion of Hire Rate payable will be Gas Production Efficiency divided by 85%, having a maximum value of 100% of Hire Rate, and allowing for the use of Surplus Production Downtime Credit according to Clause 12.6. |

12.4.1 | The Daily Rate shall apply in the following circumstances: |
- a)
- for
the duration of any Production shutdown requested or caused by the Contractor, other than as provided for in Clause 12.3.2 (c), where the Contractor's Surplus Production
Downtime Credit has been utilised pursuant to Clause 12.6.2; and
- b)
- where
the Contractor is in default or breach of its obligations hereunder in such a way as to affect Production materially or affect the safety of personnel or equipment, from the date
when the Xxxxxx Operator has issued a notice to such effect until such time as the default or breach has been remedied to the reasonable satisfaction of the Xxxxxx Operator or this Contract has been
terminated; and
- c)
- for
the duration of any period when the Services (or any part thereof) have been stopped or suspended on the instructions of the Operator's Representative pursuant to
Clause 21.4 other than instructions related to the performance of the Xxxxxx Equipment; and
- d)
- for the duration of any period of production shutdown arising out of the non-availability of a shuttle tanker.
12.4.2 | The Daily Rate payable under this Clause 12.4 shall be as follows: |
- (a)
- for
a maximum of four hundred and thirty two (432) hours in a Year the Operating Costs as set out in Exhibit H, subject to indexation pursuant to Exhibit H; and
- (b)
- for
the four hundred and thirty third (433rd) hour and each subsequent hour zero.

- b)
- for
each subsequent day of each separate Force Majeure Period the Force Majeure Rate shall be equal to ninety percent (90%) of the Hire Rate as set out in Exhibit H, subject to
indexation pursuant to Exhibit H.
Force Majeure Rate shall apply during any period ("Force Majeure Period") when Production operations are delayed or suspended as a result of Force Majeure affecting any Party. The applicable Force Majeure Rate shall be calculated as follows:
- 12.6
- Surplus Production Downtime Credit
12.6.1 | With effect from 1st September 2001, the Contractor shall be entitled to earn Surplus Production Downtime Credit provided that no Surplus Production Downtime Credit shall accrue during any Force Majeure Period, failures of Xxxxxx Equipment, suspensions of operations at the Xxxxxx Operator's request and shutdowns for reclassification of the FPSO. | ||
The gas produced on any day shall count first towards meeting the FHR threshold; gas produced in excess of FHR threshold shall then count as Surplus Production Downtime Credit until the Performance Incentive threshold is met; it shall then count as Performance Incentive gas; if the Performance Incentive threshold is higher than the Windfall threshold, then the amount of gas between the Windfall threshold and the Performance Incentive threshold shall count as both Windfall production and Surplus Production Downtime Credit. |
|||
If requested by the Contractor, the Parties will meet to discuss and agree any Exceptional Upgrade Works Requirements which will necessitate a temporary increase to the 14 day cap as set out in clause 12.6.3, such Exceptional Upgrade Works Requirements to exclude all ordinary maintenance and repair that a Reasonable and Prudent Operator would carry out. |
|||
12.6.2 |
If a production deficit occurs against FHR in any month, available accrued Surplus Production Downtime Credit shall be utilised by offset to make good the production deficit (days) caused by production shutdown or production shortfall requested or caused by the Contractor (including shutdowns required for ordinary maintenance or repair but excluding any shutdown for reclassification of the FPSO) and the cumulative Surplus Production Downtime Credit shall be reduced by the amount offset. |
||
12.6.3 |
Any Surplus Production Downtime Credit in any month can be accumulated and carried forward to offset a production deficit against FHR (days) in any future month. Surplus Production Downtime Credit which is not utilised in accordance with Clause 12.6.2 during the month in which it accrued shall be carried forward and accumulated subject to a maximum available accrued Surplus Production Downtime Credit of fourteen (14) days. There shall be no time limit to the accumulation of Surplus Production Downtime Credit. For the avoidance of doubt, any accrued Surplus Production Downtime Credit in excess of such maximum shall be deemed to have been utilised. |

- 12.7
- Annual Reconciliation
At the end of any Year in which the FHR calculated in accordance with Clause 12.3.2 has at any time not been payable, the Xxxxxx Operator will perform a reconciliation to compare the actual total production of crude oil during such Year with the required total oil production for such Year. The same will be done for gas under Gas FHR regime. Under Gas FHR Regime, firstly: any unused part of the capped Surplus Production Downtime Credit earned during that year can be used to calculate an adjusted Gas Production Efficiency for any month of that year in which Hire Rate has not been paid in full, and the difference in Hire Rate can be invoiced; secondly: any Performance Incentive which the Contractor has elected to retain rather than take payment of when submitting the billing for the relevant month may either be claimed for payment or used to recover any remaining FHR deficit for any month during that year at the time of annual reconciliation. Annual reconciliation shall also apply to that part of the Performance Incentive payments not paid monthly (and which the Contractor does not elect to use to offset FHR deficit as above). The first period of such annual reconciliation of FHR and Performance Incentive payments shall run from 1st September 2001 to 31st December 2001, and thereafter for twelve-month periods ending 31st December.
There is no annual reconciliation of Windfall Incentive.
Example calculations of the Annual Reconciliation are illustrated in the attachments to this agreement.
Any adjustment payments payable under this Clause 12.7 shall be paid as soon as practicable and in any event no later than sixty (60) days after the end of the Year to which they relate.
- 12.8
- Revision of Rates
With effect from the fifth anniversary of the Rate Commencement Date the Operating Costs referred to in Exhibit H shall be reviewed. The review shall consider the actual operating costs incurred by the Contractor over the five year period. In the course of such review, the Contractor and the Xxxxxx Operator shall provide each other with reasonable substantiation of their views. If the review demonstrates that the actual operating costs exceed the Operating Costs referred to in Exhibit H over the five year period the Parties shall discuss and agree revised operating costs to be effective for subsequent years and the Contract shall be amended accordingly.
- 12.9
- The value of P0 from 5th March 2000 onwards shall be 101.15. Values of the Indicator, P1, shall be taken from the Index of "Producer Prices (Output: Home Sales: Output of Manufactured Products)" as published in the table number 18.7 of Central Statistical Office in the Monthly Digest of Statistics. In the event that the Indicator specified in Exhibit H ceases to be published the Parties shall consult to agree upon the substitution of a new index or indices matching as closely as possible the characteristics of the index in question which has ceased to be published. In the event that the Parties are unable to agree on how to effect this substitution, the matter shall be referred to an Expert.
In the event that the Parties fail to agree on a substitute index or indices within four Months of the cessation of publication of the index in question the matter shall be referred to an Expert for decision in accordance with Clause 43. The Parties shall furnish the Expert with all information, written or oral, and other evidence which he may reasonably require for his determination. The Expert shall have regard in making his decision to the requirement that the substitute index or indices should match as closely as possible the characteristics of the index in question which has ceased to be published. Any new index or indices substituted by the Expert shall be final and binding on the Parties except in the case of mistake or manifest error.

CLAUSE 14 INCENTIVE PAYMENTS
- 14.1
- Period
For the twelve month period starting at the Commencement of Commercial Production and for each subsequent twelve month period starting on the anniversary of the Commencement of Commercial Production, the Xxxxxx Operator shall pay the Contractor a production incentive payment subject to an HSEQ performance adjustment as determined in accordance with Clauses 14.2 and 14.3 PROVIDED ALWAYS that the Xxxxxx Facilities are operated by the Contractor in accordance with good oil field practice to maximise oil yield and in accordance with the instructions given in Clause 9.
- 14.2
- Production Incentive
- (i)
- For
every Barrel of oil produced in excess of sixteen decimal four two five (16.425) million Barrels in said twelve month period, the Xxxxxx Operator will pay to the
Contractor the sum of [***]; or
- (ii)
- The
Xxxxxx Operator will pay to the Contractor a production incentive for gas. In Gas FHR Regime, the production incentive for gas will be divided into a windfall
element and a performance-based element:
- a)
- The windfall element of the production incentive ("Windfall Incentive") will be payable for gas produced in excess of (100/110)% of the
Functional Specification. Incentive gas will be calculated as MMscf produced in the month in excess of the (100/110)% of the Functional Specification times days in the month and will be converted to
excess equivalent barrels using the average GOR for the month (e.g. if average gas produced in a 30-day month is 5 MMscf/d in excess of (100/110)% of Functional Specification, and average
GOR for the month is 3000 scf/stb, then Windfall Incentive is 5,000,000 / 3000 * [***]). Whatever the actual GOR, the GOR to be
used for the calculation will be capped at 5000 scf/stb. Windfall Incentive will be payable at the reduced rate of [***].
Monthly Windfall Incentive payment will not exceed [***].
- b)
- A performance element of the production incentive ("Performance Incentive") will also be paid, calculated in part on a monthly basis, and in part on an annual basis. Monthly and annual thresholds for the Performance Incentive will be based upon Gas Production Efficiency.
For each twelve month period, the production incentive will be the greatest of the following:
The threshold for payment of the performance element of the production incentive will be when Gas Production Efficiency is equal to Y%. Y shall be 92% for the monthly Performance Incentive and 91% for the annual Performance Incentive. The Performance Incentive will be payable as:
Performance Incentive ($) = (Gas Production Efficiency (%)-Y%) × Z
where Z is one half of the Hire Rate.
[***] CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT, MARKED BY BRACKETS, HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO RULE 406 OF THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED.
23
A monthly calculation shall be made with Y having a value of 92%, and the Performance Incentive shall be payable for each day of the month in question for which the Target Gas Rate is greater than zero. Contractor may elect either to receive payment when submitting the billing for the relevant month or to retain entitlement to payment of the monthly Performance Incentive earned until the Annual Reconciliation. If the Contractor elects to retain the Performance Incentive for any month, the Contractor shall have the option at the time of Annual Reconciliation of Hire Rate and Performance Incentive payments to use such production which would otherwise have given rise to an entitlement to the Performance Incentive for offsetting any deficit in FHR. If payment of the Performance Incentive is claimed when submitting the billing for the relevant month, the relevant production shall not be available to be used for offsetting FHR deficit at the time of Annual Reconciliation.
An annual calculation shall also be made in January for the preceding year, and a further Performance Incentive shall be payable using the same formula but with Y having a value of 91%, where Gas Production Efficiency (%) = average actual performance achieved over the year, and Z = one half the then-current Hire Rate to be paid for each day of the year in question. There shall be no revision to the previously-calculated monthly Performance Incentive payments.
- 14.3
- HSEO Performance Adjustment
- (a)
- a
fatality occurs; or
- (b)
- an
Incident has occurred that is classified as a High Risk Incident, with an actual outcome of severity level 3 (major injury or health effects, or work absence of more than
15 days) or greater, as defined in the Shell Incident Investigation manual 3138-001, issue 08/02. Note; All future revisions to this document will be issued to the Contractor. If
Contractor disagrees with any revisions, Contractor must notify the Operator of their disagreement within 30 days of the date of issue, otherwise revisions will apply; or
- (c)
- a major spill in excess of one thousand (1,000) Barrels occurs,
If any of the following events occurs on or in connection with the Contractor's Equipment in the twelve (12) month period, and the event in question is as a result of a significant failure of the Contractor's Management System:
then the amount payable under Clause 14.2 will be affected as follows: monthly Windfall and Performance Incentive payments for the month in which the event has occurred will be zero. Monthly Windfall and Performance Incentive payments for the subsequent eleven months will be made at the discretion of the Xxxxxx Operator following assessment by the Xxxxxx Operator's Incident Review Panel and consultation with the Contractor: if the Incident Review Panel considers that the Contractor either failed to report, investigate and/or put in place adequate controls or measures to prevent the reoccurrence of such an incident, the Xxxxxx Operator will have the right to withhold any monthly Windfall and Performance Incentive payments for any of the subsequent eleven months.
24
Irrespective of whether one of the above events has occurred, payment of the monthly Windfall Incentive, the monthly Performance Incentive and the annual Performance Incentive will be related to achievement of the Health, Safety, Environmental and Quality scorecard for the asset. The scorecard will be set and agreed annually by the Xxxxxx Operator following consultation with the Contractor, and an HSEQ performance index will be calculated each month from the scorecard by weighting each element of the scorecard. The monthly Windfall Incentive, the monthly Performance Incentive and the annual Performance Incentive payment as calculated based on production will be pro-rated by HSEQ performance index: outstanding HSEQ performance will result in 120% of payment; HSEQ performance meeting target will result in 100% of payment; poor HSEQ performance will result in 0% of payment.
- 14.4
- Operating Costs
The Parties agree that the Operating Costs set out in Exhibit H shall be subject to a challenge process with a view to reducing the Operating Costs. The challenge process will include the implementation of an incentive scheme based on the reduction of the Operating Costs. The Parties shall in good faith agree and implement the details of such incentive scheme which will operate in addition to that contained in Clause 14.2.

# Where monthly Actual is less than TGR, and there are no specific comments, topsides trips are inferred.
- (1)
- PPC funded upgrade, hence Functional Spec remains unchanged.
- (2)
- EO funded upgrade, hence Functional Spec. is changed to new tested design level.
- (3)
- Incentive not claimed to allow for offset of FHR monthly losses at annual reconciliation
Summary
Annual gas efficiency = 87.44 (>85%), so the 59.3% not paid in April can be claimed via surplus and unclaimed monthly incentive.
Reconciled Monthly Incentive of 376 MMscf outstanding at year end can be claimed.
No Annual performance incentive is payable.
