O18 ‘L_ INTRODUCTION EnCana Corporation has awarded Allseas Canada Ltd the Contract for the Deep Panuke project ~ 22-inch Gas Export Pipeline (GEP) Installation. The project is located offshore Nova Scotia , approximately 44km to ‘the West of Sable Island. ‘Deep Panuke involves the installation of the facilities required to produce natural gas from the Deep Panuke field, located about 175 kilometres offshore Nova Scotia. Produced gas will be transported by subsea Pipeline to Goldboro, N.S., where it will be transported via the Maritimes & Northeast Pipeline (MB.NP) to ‘markets in Eastern Canada and the north-eastern United States. First gas from the project is expected in 2010. For more information on EnCana, please visit www.encana.com “The offshore gas export pipeline shall be installed in the 2009 season by Allseas Canada Ltd, and tied into the PFC during the 2010 season by others, “The offshore export pipeline will be 559 mm (22-inch) diameter, with a wall thickness varying from 14.3mm, to 17.5mm, and is 173 km in length. It will be installed in varying water depths up to a maximum of 145m, “This document presents the Automated Ultrasonic Testing (AUT) system validation report for the EnCana Corporation's Gas Export Line installation, the Deep Panuke project ~ 22-inch Gas Export Pipeline (GEP) Installation and is based on DNV OS-F101 Submarine Pipeline Systems 2007. Presented in this validation report are the results of the test scope for the conventional AUT system. 2 REFERENCES Specifications, standards and guidelines listed below are found in this procedure.

O1R 3 SCOPE OF WORK ‘The scope of work is based on DNV Offshore Standard OS-F101 Submarine Pipeline Systems 2007 and the location where the qualification took place was Rotterdam, the Netherlands. ‘Qualification was done using welds with deliberately induced defects which are typical for the agreed welding process and geometry for production. Typical defects such as lack of penetration and lack of fusion at different depths and sufficient spacing around the circumference were attempted, The material used was taken from actual production material oD | ‘Wall thickness | Weld | Welding Bevel | Process 22-inch | _17.5 mm 36__ | GMAW. “Tabi 1: Overview defect woids ‘The defects were divided into three areas, which are the root, embedded and cap. When defects are deliberately induced it is required to avoid changing the geometry of the welds. It must also be understood that not every attempt will result in the exact type or dimensions of the defects required, 4 OBJECTIVES ‘The main objective of this program is to document the Shaw AUT system performance in accordance with the DNV Rules OS-F101. The program was carried out with the Shaw AUT system on welds made with the Allseas welding system (GMAW), similar as to what will be used for the Encana- Deep Panuke project. Further, the AUT uncertainty needs to be verified as to establish and adjust the defect sizes for the acceptance criteria. In ardition to the ahave the influence on the perfarmance af operational factors such as ‘temperature, repeatability and band offset should be investigated. A comparison between the performances of AUT versus Radiography is also performed. 5 UNCERTAINTY AGAINST UNDER-SIZING For the Encana ~ Deep Panuke project the AUT uncertainties have to be determined by the calculations for Standard Deviation and are based on the results of this AUT validation program. To determine the uncertainties of the AUT system, the capability of the AUT system to size the height of defects was verified by means of macro sectioning. ‘An appropriate characterization and acceptable sizing accuracy needs to be determined against under-sizing. In case of under-sizing the sizing accuracy is based on a 95% confidence level. ‘There are no specific requirements for sizing accuracy's against over-sizing, which may result in higher repair rates. 5.1 Result uncertainty for the 22-inch x 17.5 mm ‘An overview of the comparison AUT height minus Macro height is shown in Table 4 of Appendix IIT. ‘This comparison shows mainly over-sizing and some under-sizing was encountered for all section locations. A calculation was made based on Table 4 of Appendix III. An uncertainty calculation against over-sizing fs ot a requirement and therefore, all defects that were over-sized were set at 0 for this calculation, ‘The uncertainty calculation is based on the standard deviation and the factor being used for this is 2 x standard Deviation. The standard deviation of the calculation of the height sizing shows 0.09 mm; hence the Uncertainty based on 2 x standard deviation is 0.2 mm, ‘The maximum allowable defect sizes are specified in Allseas doc. 310690/WN31-01 AUT Acceptance Criteria, inclusive uncertainties as derived from this report (See section 11.0). h\ppdoroects\310690 encana - devs paruke exportvnrocSdoc\wn37-02 rev 01 doe Page 5 026 EnCana ~ Deep Panuke EPIC of Gas Export Pipeline Document Title: AUT validation report for Phased Array AUT system Document No: DMAL-P21-PR-CN-74-0054 Rev. O18 6 QUALIFICATION PROCES AND EXTENT 6.1 General For the validation of Shaw's AUT system the validation program is done in accordance with DNV O5-F101, 2007. “The following trials were done: Trials done on calibration block repeatability testing on calibration block Scanning with calibration block at different clock position Testing with band offset on calibration block Trials done on welds repeatability testing on weld temperature sensitivity testing counter clockwise testing - Testing with band offset Detailed information of these trials is given in Appendix 1 6.2 Calibration block trials Repeatability testing was done on the calibration block, followed by scanning the calibration block in different clock positions. Following evaluation of scans of the calibration block in different clock positions, the calibration block was scanned with the band offset. Tt appeared that the various clock position had no significant influence on the test results, therefore the band offsets were done with the block in the 120 clock position. Results of band offsets done at -1 mm and at +1 mm from the ideal band position, were within 3 dB in comparison with the initial scan and repeated scans. See Table 5 & 6 of Appendix IV for the results. 6.3 Operational trials on welds Repeatability ‘Welds were scanned initially, followed by several re-scans. In between all scans the band was removed and repositioned. Temperature sensitivity To verify influence of the temperature, the welds were heated to above 200 degrees C, followed by cooling down to just below 100 degrees C (to allow water to stay on the pipe). Counter clockwise testing Welds were scanned with the band placed at the other side of the weld and scanning direction opposite the previous direction, Testing with band offset Weld was scanned with the band offset in two directions, at -1 mm from the ideal band position and at + 1 mm from the ideal band position. Following analysis of the test results, it appeared that the deviation of all above trials was less than 1 mm (maximum 0.4 mm). See Table 7 of Appendix IV for the results.

O1R. 6.4 Verification of coupling alarm settings Verification of coupling alarm settings is based on section H711 of appendix E of DNV rules OS-F101 2007. Attempts were made and it became evident that in practice this section is not feasible. The level at which the coupling alarm, coupling monitor channels indicates loss of return signal can not be recorded on a dry surface. DNV was informed and section H71.1 will be revised in the next revision of the DNV rules OS-F101. 7 NON DESTRUCTIVE TESTING & MACRO SECTIONING 7.5 General Following welding, AUT and RT were carried out. RT was carried out by an independent company. AUT was carried out by the Company that required qualification of AUT in production, Both, AUT and RT, were carried out in accordance with the approved project procedures. 7.6 Automatic Ultrasonic Testing ‘AUT was carried out in accordance with DMAL-P21-PR-CN-74-0052- PA AUT procedure for Weld Examination. The system used was the Shaw Pipeline Services’ Phased Array AUT system, using Pulse-Echo (PA) Inclusive Time of Flight Diffraction (TOFD). The AUT system, scanners, calibration blocks, etc. used are the same as will be used during production, All interpretation has been done by personnel meeting qualification requirements of DNV rules OS-F101 (2007), 7.7 Radiographic Testing RT was carried out by AIB ~ Vincotte In accordance with DMAL-P21-PR-CN-74-0047- RT procedure, Film type (D4) and intensification screens (Pb) used for this qualification program were more sensitive and had better sharpness properties than the film (F6) / screen (Fluor metallic) combination that would be used during production. Reports were compiled for both non-destructive testing methods used (AUT & RT). Al interpretation has been done by personnel meeting qualification requirements of DNV rules OS-F101 (2007), 7.8 Comparison RT versus AUT Results shown in Appendix II are the comparison between defect lengths reported by AUT and defect lengths reported by RT for the 22-inch defect welds. AUT detected all indications reported by RT, in most cases with larger length, whereas RT had not seen all defects detected by AUT. See Table 3 of Appendix II for results of the comparison RT versus RT 8 MACRO SECTIONING After comparing the AUT with the RT results, various areas were selected for macro sectioning to verify the presence of the indications and verity the sizing capabilities of the AUT system. Selection of the areas was done by Allseas and Shaw and agreed between Client, Shaw and Allseas, ‘The selected areas were cut and shipped to Schielab ~ Breda, who performed macro sectioning. Al sections were marked with the weld number and defect number by means of hard stamp.

O1R Allpunch marks were done at the US side of the weld. Sectioning started at the single punch and proceeds ‘every 2 mm (salami slicing) for at least 5 times (until the double punch marks). “The three punches are 10 mm aviay from the two punches and are for reference on the rest material. In case additional sections would be required these punch marks will assist. Picture 1 illustrates an example of hard stamping. "Picture 1: Example defect sectoring location information Results of macro sectioning are given in macto sectioning report SL. 09.3905-1(22-inch x 17.5 mm). Note: Discrepancy has been noted on the location for the section 4-7. It is suspected that the cause 15 a ‘mismarking of the location by the operator. Detailed explanation can be found in Appendix V of this document, 8.1 Additional macro sections In addition to the agreed section locations as proposed by Allseas and Shaw, Lloyds requested the following four additional section locations: 1. Butt Weld 1, defect F2 (section 1-24) - an additional macro-section at about 280mm to be taken to evaluate the difference in the RT and AUT detections. 2. Butt Weld 2, defect F5 (section 2-5A) - root defect, the evaluation considered critical and a macro- section at about 1150mm required. 3. Butt Weld 4, defect F9 (section 4-9A) - root defect, the evaluation considered critical and a macro~ section at about 1750mm required. Butt Weld 5, defect F3 (section 5-3)- an additional macro-section at about 600mm to be taken to evaluate the difference in the RT and AUT detections. hhtppxpxojects310690 encana - deep panuke (exporthndtiprcdodwn7-02 rev OI doe Page 8 01 26 EnCana = Deep Panuke EPIC of Gas Export Pipeline Document Tite: AUT validation report for Phased Array AUT system Document No: DMAL-P21-PR-CN-74-0054 Rev. O1R For all 4 additional section locations, macro sectioning confirmed the presence of the defects. Special attention is drawn for section 4-9A, indication in root area shown on the AUT scan and confirmed by Macro sectioning was not detected by Radiography, see pictures 2 and 3 below. "Pichu 3: Maco photograph presetation of section 450 at F750%mm 9 AUT SIZING CAPABILITY AUT reported the height, the depth and the lenath of all indications. Macro Sectioning reported the height and depth ofall indications. To compare the AUT results with the Macro Sectioning results, the heights of the applicable indications at section location, as verified by macro sectioning, are taken into account. Where large deviations were noted in consecutive slices, the height for comparison is based on the average of the highest three consecutive height readings. See Graph 2 u/i 5 and Table 4 of Appendix III for the results of the comparison AUT versus Macro Sectioning 10 CONCLUSIONS Conclusion of this qualification program is that the Phased array AUT inspection system used during this program is suitable to be used for production. Tt should be noted that AUT results were as good as or better than the results of radiographic inspection. AUT has sized defects in most cases with longer length than RT. Several defects had not been detected with RT. In addition AUT has the benefit that it can size the height and depth of the defect.

O1R Depth: “The results for depth sizing for all dimensions show that AUT sizes the depth correct or slightly deeper than ‘the actual depth. For repairs itis confident to size correct or slightly deeper, which will result in complete cdlefect removal from the weld. Height: All heights were verified with the actual heights as seen on the macto sections. Some deviations were ‘encountered and both, under -and over-sizing were noted. The variances were within reasonable limits, and it should be realized that over-sizing may only result in unnecessary repairs. Uncertainties: Uncertainty is used to adjust defect sizes in the acceptance criteria against a 95% confidence level for Uunder-sizing. The calculated uncertainty against under-sizing is -0.2 mm ‘Coupling alarm settings: Verification of coupling alarm settings was based on section H711 of appendix E of DNV rules OS-F101 2007. ‘Attempts were made and it became evident that in practice this section is not feasible.

We are convinced that a defect should be present at location 1445mm of Defect weld 4, (flaw number 7) .was confirmed with multiple inspection techniques. The defect was confirmed using X-Ray, Conventional multi probe Pulse Echo Ultrasonics, Phased Array Ultrasonies, and Time of Flight Diffraction. “The most likely reason for no detect beng found in the macro seston is because of some human error during tie marking of the section location on the wald, This isnot a ommon occurrence, but occasionally does Iuppen and the standard operating procedure in a case Hike this, sto go back to the weld swhere the section was cat out and confirm the circumferential location ofthe removed macro section. Also, art ofthe standard precede is 10 keep all defect welds until ll ofthe results of the qualification program have been reccived and evaluated, However, in this case this didnot happen. Allseas had a general clean up a the taining school and ail defect welds were removed and must have accidentally been put ito the metal reeyeling bin. The meal recycling bin had been removed prior to our discovering the problem, This did not allow us to vey the Cireumerentia location ofthe section that was cut-out, nar to cut aut the (posible) correct area that was the target for verification For the shove reason, we would recommend that section 4-7 not be included in the proving program. The purpose of this section was not to determine whether or not a defect was present, As explained above, various NDT techniques did confirm the presence ofa defect. The reason for this section was to verify the sizing of the defect. Flowever, there are several other sections present in the proving program that are used for this pampose, Based on the fact that there are mors than 10 other readings in this area (2oue or depth), We fee! that this section ean be removed without any consequences for the qualification program.
