Terra Nova Field – Use of Light Intervention Vessel (LIV)
• Lower operating limits than rigs
• Minimized production impact on adjacent well
• Quick deployment on and off each well

Terra Nova Field - Short Term and Long Term Potential Focus • Focus on Well Interventions and Infill Opportunities
• Enhance Oil Recovery
- WAG program possible for late 2017
• Possible Exploitation of Far East Area
• Analysis of Potential of Hibernia Formation
