Case History: Kizomba 
Subsea Production Expansion 
Kizomba is a deepwater oil development between 150 to 400 km offshore of Angola.  
It consists of three sites with a combined estimate of 2.6 billion barrels of oil. 
•  Kizomba A: including the Hungo and Chocalho fields in up to 4,200 ft (1,280 m)  
of water; production began in 2004
•  Kizomba B: including the Kissanje and Dikanza fields in up to 3,400 ft (1,036 m)  
of water; production began in 2005 
•  Kizomba C: including the Mondo, Saxi and Batuque fields in up to 2,400 ft (732 m)  
of water; production began in 2008 
The Kizomba Satellites project began in 2008 with Phase 1 developing Mavacola and 
Clochas assets tied back to Kizomba A and B FPSOs through a looped flowline system. 
Phase 2 will develop the Mondo South, Bavuca, Kakocha, Saxi and Batuque assets, all 
tied into existing subsea infrastructure at Kizomba A, B and C. 
We supplied a range of topsides equipment as well as all core subsea production 
equipment for 28 new wells in all. First production from Phase 1 came in July 2012. 
Primary manufacturing and assembly were based at our Angola facility. The project 
was completed with an industry-leading safety record.

Case History: Gorgon
Greenfield LNG Project
Gorgon contains about 40 trillion cubic feet of gas. It includes the world’s largest 
carbon capture and sequestration project and will have an LNG output of 15 million 
tons per year. It is the largest single-resource natural gas venture in Australian history 
and one of the largest natural gas projects in the world. GE Oil & Gas has been involved 
since the beginning, providing expertise and core technologies for both the onshore 
and subsea components of this industry milestone effort.
Our Subsea Systems team began designing subsea production, control and 
transmission systems for Gorgon in 2008. Total project scope includes subsea 
wellhead systems and trees with retrievable choke modules to control and manage 
gas production and production monitoring and control systems so the complete 
subsea infrastructure can be remotely controlled from Barrow Island. Our trees are built 
specifically for Gorgon’s high flow rates – a 7-inch, full-bore design with twice the 
capacity of a typical subsea tree. 
The project is progressing well. By mid-2013, we completed 19 subsea trees, 16 of 
which have been delivered to Australia. The final four trees are due to be shipped 
from Aberdeen by the end of summer 2013. Our first two trees were safely installed in 
early-2013 with no significant downtime despite a week-long delay caused by a passing 
cyclone. They are now in 1,350 m (4,429 ft) of water at the Jansz-Io field about 190 km 
from shore  - it is one of the deepest subsea installations ever undertaken in Australia.
In keeping with our unique industry-wide, single-source capabilities, GE Oil & Gas is also 
supplying the five power generation trains and three main refrigerant compression 
trains for Barrow Island’s gas treatment and liquefaction facilities, and the pioneering 
CO
2
 sequestration system. 
Gorgon’s first gas is expected in 2014. 
Pushing boundaries
GE Oil & Gas has been pushing the boundaries of offshore 
development for over 100 years - pioneering subsea systems since 
1962 and deepwater technologies since 1994. Our systems are 
operating in every major production basin, delivering unmatched 
production uptime and continually increasing efficiency, reliability 
and availability in the most challenging fields around the world.
With developments continually moving into deeper water, we 
have already amassed extensive operating experience in these 
high-pressure high-temperature (HPHT) applications, with unique 
expertise in vertical tree systems – which are operating at nearly all 
of our deepest water installations in Brazil and West Africa. 
But our commitment doesn’t stop at the product level. We invest 
significant resources worldwide to increase localized service 
capabilities, knowledge transfer, training and employment. Recent 
examples include our new $100 million facility in Jandakot, 
Australia and our joint venture with GLS Holdings SA, which includes 
a new $175 million manufacturing facility in Angola. Investments 
like these create hundreds of direct jobs and countless indirect jobs 
and sub-contracting opportunities in each region. 
Subsea intelligence
As part of the global GE organization, we regularly take advantage 
of leading technologies developed in other industries, and major 
company-wide initiatives that help increase subsea equipment 
capabilities in ways that other OEMs can’t. Across GE’s customer 
base, for instance, our goal of improving asset performance 
by just 1% can add $20 billion of annual customer profit. To do 
this, we are championing evolution of the ‘Industrial Internet’ – 
making major investments in software and analytical tools for 
field management and optimization solutions that weren’t even 
conceivable just a few years ago. 
The first new product from this new focus is an underwater remote 
monitoring system called Subsea Integrity Management designed 
to increase production reliability for deepwater wells with data 
from sensors measuring vibration, temperature and leak detection 
for well heads, manifolds and production stations. All our latest 
subsea trees, manifolds and connection systems are designed with 
integrated smart communications and diagnostics technologies, all 
supported around the clock with remote monitoring services that 
are second to none.
