Philippe,

Here after the report on the fndings regarding this choke.

Could you use of your main position to demand, insistently, the replacement of this
choke by a new one ASAP.
I think that hookup !roup could be able to do that instead of Cameron. "hat gi#es us
time to make a good e$pertise of the faulty one prior to repair it in a rush.

water inBection wells.
<9/4 and <990 were opened. no problem to report on these wells.
D104:
rust deposite was obser#ed on bonnet ring gasket.
while wing #al#e was crack opened, hea#y leak was obser#ed on line +with choke
fully closed of course- and pressure on manifold dropped from 397b to 92/b with less
than 9 turn on wing #al#e.Also water leak was obser#ed on bonnet ring gasket.
"his choke must be dismantled and repaired by Cameron, and as it is the second time
this choke gi#e us same problem, it should be in#estigated seriously here on shore,
and replaced by a new one +future <99/ CI south cluster-.
Ce need reliables chokes on <P*! as it is a problem to go there due to bad wheather
of the sea.
