The GPS is of such nature. © KONGSBERG 7. november 2007 3 Return to Session Directory SSBL as reference to Dynamic Positioning The Super Short Base Line (SSBL) principle: (Some say Ultra Short Base Line or USBL) Positioning based on distance and angle measurements from one vessel-mounted transducer to one seabed transponder. System accuracy (standard deviation) is approximately 0,2% of slant range or +/- 1 m at 500 m depth. Update time is 1 second in water depths down to approximately 700 m, and from then increasing with 1 second for every 700 m extra depth. I. e. update rate is from 1 to 6 seconds dependant on water depth. © KONGSBERG 7. november 2007 4 Return to Session Directory LBL as reference to Dynamic Positioning The Long Base Line (LBL) principle: Positioning based on distance measurements from one vessel-mounted transducer to one seabed transponder-array with known geometry. System accuracy (standard deviation) is within 1 meter regardless of depth. Update time is from 2,5 seconds to 6 seconds dependant on water depth © KONGSBERG 7. november 2007 5 Return to Session Directory DP weights its Reference Systems If you have more GPS systems in the solution then the HPR is even less weighted. And if the LBL have less than 1m accuracy for short periods, that weight it even less. The Implication of this is that the DP system is vulnerable agains GPS failures, which tend to be common between the GPS system. © KONGSBERG 7. november 2007 6 Return to Session Directory HAIN Positioning Reference overview APOS HAIN Computer Heading Roll&Pitch DP System HiPAP Transceiver IMU Td Acoustic signals © KONGSBERG 7. november 2007 7 Return to Session Directory Nature of Acoustics and INS Ideal combination Acoustic positioning: Relativ high and evenly distributed noise. No position drift Inertial positioning: Very low short term noise. Relativ large position drift © KONGSBERG 7. november 2007 8 Return to Session Directory HAIN - Simulations Simulation parameters: HiPAP SSBL angle accuracy: 0.1° in x and y dGPS position white/colored noise:0.15m/0.1m North and East © KONGSBERG 7. november 2007 9 Return to Session Directory Easy to install HW and SW A HAIN computer interfaces: •Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) •Acoustic Positioning system (HiPAP or HPR) The HAIN computer outputs improved reference data to DP and improves thereby also the DP itself! © KONGSBERG 7. november 2007 10 Return to Session Directory HAIN experience from DrillRig Eirik Raude Gulf of Mexico ~ 2650m depth Period 2007-07-07 to 2007-08-09 © KONGSBERG 7. november 2007 11 Return to Session Directory HAIN experience from Drill Rig Eirik Raude ] m [ ht r o N n oi ti s o p e vi t al e R 20 10 0 -10 -20 0 © KONGSBERG 7. november 2007 20 40 60 Relative position East [m] 80 100 12 Return to Session Directory HAIN experience from DrillRig Eirik Raude Eirik Raude position and heading for one month 70 Vessel position Vessel heading 60 50 ] m [ e d ut ti al n oi ti s o p e vi t al e R 40 30 20 10 0 -10 -20 -30 0 20 40 60 80 Relative position longitude [m] 100 Heading is plotted each 10 minutes.

There are periods where the reported accuracy is slightly poorer. © KONGSBERG 7. november 2007 14 Return to Session Directory HAIN experience from DrillRig Eirik Raude 40 HiPAP HAIN 30 ] m [ n oi ti s o p ht r o N e vi t al e R 20 10 0 -10 -20 2007-07/06 /16 /26 -08/05 HAIN and HiPAP are compared.

All less than 1 meter, HAIN the best at 0.4 meter 18 Return to Session Directory Snapshot of the DP screen - Eirik Raude Last 5 minutes show all 7 ref. systems have low std dev. All less than 1 meter, HAIN the best at 0.4 meter © KONGSBERG 7. november 2007 19 Return to Session Directory Snapshot of the DP screen - Eirik Raude At the instant the snapshot was taken, both HIPAP LBL systems have zero weight (due to update rate). HAIN has zero weight because of being in monitoring mode. All four GPS's have the same weight because all have std. dev. less than 1 meter. © KONGSBERG 7. november 2007 20 Return to Session Directory SSBL, LBL and GPS as DP References Typical figures when operating in 1000 meter water depth. HiPAP SSBL HiPAP LBL GPS Standard deviation +/- 2 meters 1) +/- 0,5 meter +/- 0,5 meter Update rate 1,5 seconds 2) 2,5 seconds 1 second The above shows that neither SSBL nor LBL will be able to achieve as high weighting as GPS in the DP. 1)Accuracy of 0,2 % of depth 2)Travel time of 1,3s plus computation time © KONGSBERG 7. november 2007 21 Return to Session Directory HAIN benefits in Dynamic Positioning By introduction of HAIN, the following will be the result in 1000m depth. Standard deviation Update rate HAIN SSBL HAIN LBL GPS +/- 1 meter +/- 0,5 meter +/- 0,5 meter 1 second 1 second 1 second The above shows that the HAIN SSBL principle could be used with high DP weight in 1000 m depth compared to only 500 m without HAIN. The above shows that the HAIN LBL principle also obtain the high DP weight as the update rate to DP will be 1 second – same as the GPS gives. © KONGSBERG 7. november 2007 22 Return to Session Directory HAIN benefits in Dynamic Positioning Extends both SSBL and LBL operational depths Enables use of slow acoustic ping rate (thereby saving batteries) Position update continues in case of acoustic dropout Reliable and independent reference to DP if drop out of GPS The IMU in HAIN provides also Roll, Pitch and Heading data © KONGSBERG 7. november 2007 23 Return to Session Directory HAIN conclusions from DrillRig Eirik Raude The HAIN system onboard Eirik Raude was running while the vessel was in operation in the Gulf of Mexico 2007-07-07 to 2007-08-09. Except for two distinct incidents, (one operator shut down and one power failure) which caused the HAIN not to function for 10-20 minutes, the analyzing report concludes that; •HAIN was far superior to the HiPAP alone in performance •HAIN was functioning well for the entire period •A Hain system weighted similar to the GPS would add security to the DP ( 1m accuracy and 1 sec update rate) •Allow more individual reference systems to be weighted equally. © KONGSBERG 7. november 2007 24 Return to Session Directory Thank you WORLD CLASS – through people, technology and dedication WORLD CLASS – through people, technology and dedication © KONGSBERG 7. november 2007 25 Return to Session Directory
