equipment of any oil, mud, or other contaminants. Record serial number on workscope
forms. Strip the Connector to its component parts, degrease and clean all parts ready for
inspection. Verify the hardness of components after all machining, heat treatment, including
stress relieving operations have been completed. Additional photographs should be taken
during each stage of the overhaul for inclusion in the databook.
11.1 Upper Body

SCOPE OF WORK CHECKLIST
14. SCOPE OF WORK CHECKLIST
This checklist is to be used to determine what parts of the Scope of Work are applicable to
a given vendor and ensure that responsibility for said parts is easily understood. A copy of
the Scope of Work plus a copy of this checklist can be provided to any vendor or
subcontractor for the purposes of quotation, quality control/assurance, or to ensure a clear
understanding of what is expected from the vendor. However, in any case where the OEM
is not the primary responsible party for overhaul-related work, Transocean personnel must
provide vendor with instructions and generally increased involvement from Transocean
personnel.
Regardless of sections checked or unchecked in Appendix I, any vendor using this form
must comply with all other requirements from all sections of the Scope of Work. For
example, all Remarks / Assumptions (Section 12) are still applicable to any vendor.

15. CONTACT INFORMATION
A single point contact must be designated for each overhaul – both within Transocean and
within the vendor’s organization. This will limit miscommunication and facilitate the effective
and accurate transferal of information between the parties. These people will be assigned
before the purchase order is issued.

APPENDIX II
PARTS LIST
This parts list is exhaustive for all seals, “O” Rings etc, normally changed out during an
overhaul. This list is intended as GUIDANCE only and should be based on recommendations
from the rig crew and the results of inspections by overhaul vendor, OEM representative or third
party inspections.
While in the shop, retrieving parts is not normally difficult, but performing an offshore overhaul
often poses challenges if a part is needed but not readily available. Therefore, rig management
and the local field support department is responsible to determine what parts should be ordered
based on region stock, anticipated deliveries, customs restrictions and possible requirements.

APPENDIX III – GENERAL PAINT SPECIFICATION
APPENDIX III
GENERAL PAINT SPECIFICATION
This paint specification is provided as a guide only. Local paint specifications can be used in
place of this coatings system but, in any case, the coatings system must be agreed to by
Transocean prior to any service work.
16. GENERAL PAINT SPECIFICATION
16.1 Surface Preparation
♦ All areas to be blasted shall be free of grease, oil and other contaminates as
stated in SSPC SP-1 prior to any start of work.
♦ Grit blast all work areas to a standard of SSPC SP-10 near white metal. All
blasted areas are to be feathered back where applicable to ensure that the
existing coating system is tight to the substrate.
16.2 Coatings System
♦ Apply a full primer coat of high build epoxy (65% solids or greater) to all prepared
surfaces @ four to six (4-6) mils.
♦ Apply a stripe coat to all lips, welds and sharp edges of high build epoxy (65%
solids or greater) at a minimum film thickness of three (3) mils DFT.
♦ Apply a full intermediate coat of high build epoxy (65% solids or greater) @ four
to six (4-6) mils DFT to all prepared areas.
♦ Apply a full coat of gloss aliphatic polyurethane (color to suit) @ two to three (2-
3) mils DFT to all prepared areas.

17. PLANNING INSTRUCTIONS FOR AN EXCHANGE UNIT
♦ Obtain rig BOP data based on equipment data sheet questionnaire. Information on the
questionnaire must be as accurate as possible to avoid any unexpected issues when
change out is performed on the rig.
♦ The spare unit can be configured based on data obtained. This can be done prior to
sending the unit to the rig, if time allows, or the components can be sent to the rig and
changed on the rig as time allows.
