1.3 Brief Description of the Project

The purpose of the proposed facilities is to maintain the Company’s specialized repair
services. The proposed facilities will support Company’s crude oil and gas production
by upgrading the existing Shops to meet ongoing operations demand.

The main objective of this budget item is to construct, furnish and equip a new shops
building and a new office building adjacent to existing COMPANY shops to enhance
capabilities of specialized repairs services and capitalize on existing repair services
and utilities. The site development shall consider locating and designing the new
facilities to allow integration and synergy with the existing operational facility.

2.0 OBJECTIVES

To expose and identify all existing underground (UG) utility lines, cables and trenches that
shall be an obstruction to the proposed facilities.
