13. SoluforceforNigerian market Why is Soluforce the perfect solution for Nigeria? Soluforce Nigeria Please look at document: Benefits of Soluforce in Nigeria.pdf

14. Installationin Nigeria Pilot oil flowline installed in 2010. Test finallized in December 2013 Tobeanalizedwith Shell Global Solutions

15. Small footprint on environment Because of flexibility and toughness, no high requirements on trench and soil conditions

16. 2010: External foil To eliminate permeation of hydrocarbons, the Soluforce pipe was wrapped in aluminum foil

17. 2013: internal foil layer Today the Soluforce introduces a new product called Soluforce GT. Gas Tight, to eliminate permeation. A permeation barrier is imbedded in the pipe

18. ElectrofusionCouplingsystem SoluforceLight & Classic Coupling system based on “electrofusion” • Advantages: • Reliability, proven technology • Automated CNC controlled welding equipment • No fluid contact with metals or seals (except at end- fittings), NO CORROSION !! • Standard ANSI flange dimensioned hook-up connections Soluforce hook-up end-fitting Soluforce in-line connection

19. Soluforce Light & Classic end-fitting steel partsassembly • End fitting electrofusedto pipe end • Pipe end preparedby hand tool • O-rings seal the pipe from the fluid • Flange part onto pipe end • Half shells interlock flangeto pipe end • Housing ring secures the half shells

20. Soluforce Light & Classic Pipe to Pipe (P2P) • Pipe to pipe plug • To make a pipe to pipe connection • Easy installation • Simularto end flange • Perfect for re-coiling, minutes todismantle

27. Users of Soluforce A overview of the companies using Soluforce

28. General Properties of Soluforce • As flexible as polyethylene pipe • Supplied on long-length coils (220 meters / 400 meters) • Very fast installation (up to 2 km/day) • No prefabricated bends • Can be installed by trenching machine and horizontal drilling • As corrosion resistant as polyethylene pipe • As strong as steel pipe • Pressure rating up to 223 Bar / 3230psi • Very good fire resistance • 6 minutes in a jet-fire, while steel lasts only seconds • Tougher than any other pipe • Comparable impact strength as steel pipe, and very much better than GRE • Environmentally friendly • No leaks, and made from 100% recyclable materials • More throughput • Up to 50% higher flow compared to steel pipe thanks to a very smooth inner surface

29. Over-bending to a radius of only 300 mm still does not harm. • The specified minimum bending radius in operation is 3000 mm • Miminum bending radius in storage is 1500 mm Flexibility of Soluforce

30. Toughness of Soluforce Soluforce does not only survive elephant attacks, but also: • Accidentally crossing vehicles • Dropping tools • Most transport and installation accidents
