5 E.) Personnel movements 1. See below excerpt from the Corporate Security Shore Base Screening Procedure Persons refusing to comply with screening and inspection procedures will be denied entry to such facilities. Baggage, other goods and cargo that do not satisfactorily pass these screening procedures shall not be conveyed to regulated or non-regulated facilities or loaded on vessels, helicopters or other conveyances. Anadarko provides notice of the screening policy to personnel, contractors and visitors by the posting of signs and posters and by providing brochures describing the procedure. APPLICABILITY Employees, contractors, visitors and all other persons must comply with these requirements as a condition of entry to these regulated and non-regulated facilities. Law enforcement officials and on-duty military personnel on official business are exempt from this policy. REQUIREMENT TO REPORT NON-COMPLIANCE: The law requires that the Company Security Officer (CSO) and relevant Facility Security Officer (FSO) be notified immediately if a person refuses to comply with these procedures. Such situations must be documented and reported to the appropriate United States Coast Guard Command and the National Response Center for all regulated facilities. Facility Security Plans contain detailed information regarding these reporting requirements. SCOPE These procedures apply to all MTSA regulated and non-regulated Anadarko owned and leased facilities and to vessels, helicopters or other conveyances transporting people or goods to facilities that are either regulated by law or where, in the judgment of Corporate Security, such procedures are necessary for the security of people and company assets or company policy Personnel and Baggage Screening Procedure: All persons entering the restricted areas of the facility and/or boarding vessels or aircraft for transport to an Anadarko facility will present themselves at the screening point and present appropriate identification documents to the screener: If the person is embarking on a vessel or helicopter to an Anadarko facility, the screener will check the manifest to verify that the person is properly listed on the manifest and approved for transportation to and entry into the facility.

6 If the person is entering an Anadarko facility, the screener will examine the persons ID and verify that the person matches the identity documents, and will confirm that the person is authorized to enter the facility by checking the provided list of authorized persons or by contacting the OIM/FSO or his designee. If the person is selected for a random search, they will empty their pockets of all metallic objects into the container provided, remove bulky outerwear (coats, jackets, etc.) and present baggage and other containers opened and accessible for inspection. Screeners may use pat down searches or metal detection wands to screen for weapons and prohibited items. The screener will pass a hand-wand over the entire body without touching the person to verify they are not carrying any contraband, dangerous substances or devices that might present a security risk. Baggage will be searched by asking the individual to remove or move items in a fashion that allows the screener to inspect the contents of the bag. The possession of alcohol, explosives, firearms, weapons, illegal drugs, and hazardous materials is prohibited. Any person found to possess contraband will be denied access to the facility and reported immediately to appropriate company personnel (i.e. Company Security Officer, Facility Security Officer) Once the screening procedure is complete the person will sign the screening log and proceed to the helicopter or vessel. Contract police officers may be present on a random basis during screening and search activities. When officers are present, any contraband, weapons or questionable objects will be turned over to them for evaluation. Maintaining Integrity of the Screening Process Persons traveling to Anadarko facilities by vessel: If the person and their belongings pass the identification and screening process, persons boarding vessels will be required to immediately board and remain on the vessel until departure. If a previously screened person leaves the vessel, they will have to go through the screening process again before being permitted to re-board. Personal effects and baggage will be placed by security in a shipping container that will be sealed with tamper evident seals prior to being placed on the vessel.

7 Persons on board will be permitted to keep possession of small carry on bags of personal effects needed for the voyage provided those containers have passed the screening process. Persons traveling to Anadarko facilities by helicopter: Persons who have passed the identification and screening process who are going to board helicopters for transportation to an Anadarko facility will remain in the post screening area until they are escorted by shore base personnel or security personnel to the helicopter. If a previously screened person leaves the post-screening area, they will have to go through the screening process again before being allowed to board helicopters. Receiving pre-screened persons, baggage and cargo at an Anadarko facility: Platform personnel trained in security procedures will verify the name and ID of the arriving persons with the manifest have them sign in and provide them security and safety orientation. Baggage, stores and supplies may be examined for package and seal integrity and shipping documents will be verified against orders for goods. Baggage and personal effects of those transported will be removed from the sealed sea containers and given to the owners to be taken to quarters. Industrial supplies, cargo and stores may be inspected and then released for storage on the platform Screening upon return to the shore base and disembarking from the vessel or helicopter: Prior to departing the OCS facility all personnel shall be aware that their personal effects may be subject to search before departure from a terminal or port area. It is recommended that each person review their personal effects to insure that no unintended items have been added to their baggage. Upon leaving the vessel or the helicopter, persons may be randomly selected to present their baggage and personal effects to screeners who will conduct a thorough inspection.

8 After screening, the person and their personal effects and baggage will leave the screening area and will leave the secured area of the premises in a timely manner F.) Customs clearance 1. Valid I.D. s a. Anadarko requires all personnel present a picture ID for all modes of transport offshore. 2. Customs Requirements a. The following can be used for reporting purposes to U. S. Customs and Border Protection: i. Foreign persons must have either a passport number or resident / permanent alien number b. The following is for U. S. persons: i. Passport ii. Social security number iii. TWIC card iv. Driver s license v. Merchant Mariner Document

9 POSITION PAPER ON SLINGS Anadarko Petroleum Corporation GOM Division has taken the position to not allow the use of Pressed, Turn-Back or Aluminum Loop Back Splice wire rope sling fittings on our Deepwater Facilities. Recently we've encountered these turn back aluminum sleeves arriving at our shore bases for use offshore. Therefore this is a general notice to alert all our contractors that these sling fittings are prohibited from our operations. We greatly appreciate your cooperation in this matter. Following are points which explain our concerns. 1. The Pressed, Turn-Back or Aluminum Loop Back Splice sling fittings are manufactured to the European EN (formerly DIN-3088) specifications and are certified as such. These certifications can be confusing to our riggers and the traceability of the equipment can also be problematic. Although these certifications do technically meet the requirements of ASME B30.9 they are not considered Best Practices by the industry for rigging. 2. The Pressed, Turn-Back or Aluminum Loop Back Splice sling fittings rely solely on the Aluminum/Steel sleeve pressed around the wire rope. Should this sleeve become damaged and fail the sling will fail. The Flemish Eye type sling connections incorporate the back-braiding of the end of the wire rope back in to itself creating the loop or eye of the sling. A metal sleeve is then installed over the back-braided section. In this manner of manufacture, should the sleeve become damaged and fail the sling will retain up to 60% of its designed work load. Note 1 : this restriction applies only to Pressed, Turn-Back or Aluminum or Steel Loop Back Splice wire rope sling fittings. It does not apply to Flemish Eye, Open or Closed Spelter Socket, Open or Closed Swaged Socket, Torpedo or Standard Button or Standard Wedge Socket. Note 2 ; Slings made with Forged Wire Rope Clips are not allowed as per BOEMRE, API RP 2d, Section G #4 incorporated by reference. I have attached excerpts from Unirope LTD. Website to better explain the types of sling fittings.
