SAIPEMTODAYSAIPEM TODAY IS A WORLD LEADER IN THE GLOBAL SUPPLY OFENGINEERING, PROCUREMENT, PROJECT MANAGEMENT ANDCONSTRUCTION SERVICES WITH DISTINCTIVE CAPABILITIES IN THEDESIGN AND EXECUTION OF LARGE-SCALE OFFSHORE AND ONSHOREPROJECTS.

Saipem has a strong bias towards oiland gas frontiers, namely activities inharsh and remote areas, in deep watersas well as in extremely cold and hotenvironments, applying significanttechnological competences in manydiverse fields such as gas monetizationand heavy oil exploitation.

Saipem is organized in three BusinessUnits: Offshore, Onshore and Drilling.

SAIPEMONSHOREFOLLOWING THE ACQUISITION OF SEVERAL ENGINEERINGCOMPANIES OVER THE LAST YEARS, MOST PROMINENTLY OFSNAMPROGETTI, BOUYGUES OFFSHORE AND SOFRESID, SAIPEM HASBECOME ONE OF THE WORLD’S LARGEST AND MOST COMPLETEENGINEERING AND CONSTRUCTION COMPANIES IN THE GLOBAL OILAND GAS MARKETS ONSHORE.

Saipem Onshore offers a completerange of project definition andexecution services, particularly for the“mega-projects” required by themarket today: from feasibility andconceptual studies to complexintegrated solutions combining design,engineering, procurement and fieldconstruction.

The integration of our engineering andproject management centres in severalcontinents has been completedrecently, providing a consistent designand robust execution philosophy on allour projects worldwide.

Through the involvement of our fourglobal engineering centres for onshoreprojects in Milan and Fano (Italy), Paris(France) and Chennai (India), whichoperate in connection with a growingnumber of medium size and smallerengineering centres, employing

altogether over 7,000 engineers,Saipem balances high project executionquality with a competitive cost and –most importantly – with a majoremphasis on local know-how andcontent.

Saipem today operates in virtually everyworld market, often in remote locationswith harsh environmental conditionsand challenging logistics, leveraging onits proven experience across the mostsignificant product lines in the oil andgas upstream, midstream, refining,chemicals, power generation,environmental industries andinfrastructure.

This new series, therefore, outlinesSaipem integrated references inonshore markets, according toindividual business and technologylines.

MARINE WORKSAND TERMINALSMARKETDURING THE PAST DECADES, NEW PORT TERMINAL PROJECTSHAVE BECOME INCREASINGLY COMPLEX.THIS IS TRUE FOR ALL COMMERCIAL PORTS, AS WELL AS FORADVANCED MARINE INFRASTRUCTURES FOR OIL AND GASEXPORT OR IMPORT.

Much of the newest economicdevelopments over the recent past andmost of the new oil and gas productionhave taken place in emerging markets,which require new port facilities withnovel and often very specificrequirements.Therefore, terminal developers havefaced the challenge of locating new,often very large infrastructural projectsin remote areas and often inclimactically harsh environments.

The design and construction of suchworld-scale terminals requires specificengineering skills as well as substantialproject management capabilities to facethe major technical challenges.

These competencies are even moreimportant in the oil and gas industry,where the timely delivery of the newmarine infrastructure is essential inorder to bring on stream the associatednew oil and gas production assets.

SAIPEM EXPERIENCEIN MARINE WORKSTHROUGH ITS DEDICATED MARITIME WORKSBUSINESS LINE, SAIPEM CAN DESIGN AND BUILD ANYKIND OF SHORE LINE INFRASTRUCTURE, INCLUDINGWHARFS, QUAYS, TRESTLES AND BREAKWATERS, WITHSPECIFIC FOCUS AND EXPERTISE IN GLOBALGREENFIELD PROJECT DEVELOPMENTS.

WITH MORE THAN 35 YEARS OF EXPOSURE TOMARINE CHALLENGES, SAIPEM HAS DEVELOPED ITSCOMPETENCES BY UTILIZING THE “LESSONSLEARNED” FROM ITS MANY PROJECTS WORLDWIDE.

Since the acquisition of Bouygues Offshore by Saipem in2002, the maritime business line expanded its range ofactivities by merging the maritime division of Bouygues,the French major civil works company, with theprofessionalism of Saipem, the leading EPC contractor inthe oil and gas industry.

Following the subsequent integration of these originallyseparate entities and capabilities into a single newglobalorganization, Saipem can now perform with confidencethe full range of engineering and project executionservices, from preliminary studies to mega-project designand construction on EPC/LSTK or “Design and Build”bases, for any world class marine infrastructure project.

1312

Saipem offers today to portdevelopers:

Imaginative proposals and often new alternative solutions, basedon its own huge experience.

Assurance of design and constructionoperations according to highestinternational standards, with particular emphasis on HSE,Total Quality and Sustainability.

Typically, Saipem performs the mostcritical construction tasks eitherdirectly, particularly in those marketswhere Saipem has strong localoperations, thus controlling the

overall project success; or bysubcontracting parts of a largeproject, when appropriate, to localand/or international contractors,always under Saipem’s managementand overall responsibility.

Keys to construction success are:The ability to adapt construction methods to site constraints and local capabilities.

The implementation of intensive training programs and the alignment and adherence of the project workforce to Saipem's HSE and quality expectations.

In the last 5 years, Saipem has designed and built:

More than a dozen large marine infrastructural projects, including pile supported quays, combiwalls,jetties, rubble mound or concrete caisson breakwaters,Roll-On Roll-Off facilities and shore protection together with dredging and backfilling, platform pavements and administration buildings.

6 Oil and Gas jetties, for import or export of LNG, ammonia or crude oil.

6 Commercial Ports for containers, bulk material, passengers or vehicles.
