EU Maritime Day Ocean technologies, investment for sustainability
Oceans cover 70% of the Earth’s surface,
With 97% of the ocean floor yet to be extensively explored, it is likely that numerous resources remain undiscovered.
Seafloor Resources Potential is Enormous

Pazfor, Angola
600 km2 at water depths
between 600 and 1,200 m
(i.e. 2.5 times the area of
Kuala Lumpur)
175 km of flowlines and
90 km of umbilicals
Larger and deeper subsea developments
452 m

The next frontier
Offshore industry - significantly
extended its boundaries:
Water depth,
Remote system technology,
Materials Exploration / construction
equipment and techniques.
Enabled project developments
previously considered unviable
Offshore technology is now enabling
the next offshore frontier
Deep water hard rock production of
seafloor massive sulphide (SMS)
containing
Base metals (Copper, Zinc, Lead)
Precious metals (Gold, Silver)
EU Maritime Days - Ocean technologies, investment for sustainability – Technip presentation – May 2014 6
Recovery of SMS technological feasible and competitive
SMS deposits now provide a compelling
opportunity against the fluctuation of
commodity pricing and depletion of
resources from traditional sources,
Government legislations support offshore
mineral exploration,
Several Mining and Metals majors and
Countries interested with concessions in
SMS projects,
Onshore porphyry copper mining means:
Millions of tons of waste rock to move,
Lower grades (average 0,8% Cu on land).
No overburden so mining waste,
Subsea mining means being near a port and
facilities - as opposed to 4,500 m up in the
Andes (Today, 1/3 of CAPEX dedicated to
infrastructure). EU Maritime Days - Ocean technologies, investment for sustainability – Technip presentation – May 2014 7

On Aug 2013, announced that the department plans a performance in the water
depth of 1,380m off southeast Pohang, Korea, with commercial purposes for
manganese nodule reserved in 5,000m water depth within the Clarion-Clipperton
zone.
