DEEPWATER ACTIVITIES AND THE NECESSARY OF BEING PREPARED FOR EMERGENCY RESPONSE MECHANISM Ó Deepwater activity in the region has grown over the past few years with the discovery of massive gas fields, to be more specific Since 2002, EGYPT oil and gas started a new era by getting into exploration, production and development in the med. Sea deep waters, as time is passing by EGYPT by 2014 will have enormous number of subsea wells, accordingly proactive thinking is vital to be prepared for any emergency response required to maintain our fortune of the subsea assets laid or will be laid in the near future, also we have to be prepared for the subsea technology required in all disciplines to cover the deepwater requirements

To cover the above concerns, In the next few lines we will explore simple layout of the following: Ó New subsea well containment technology or Capping Stacks. Ó Custom Engineered subsea equipment. Ó Patent and patent subsea applications. Ó Services related to subsea technology New subsea well containment technology or Capping stacks. A Deepwater emergency response plan including a national response to a subsea blowout is a rational, safe and solid position; in which capping stack can play a pivotal part of that strategy, cap-

ping stacks is now present and ready to use in the US Gulf (3 systems) and this summer in Alaska (1 system) 4 additional systems for a new consortium of clients for global placement through early 2013 in Europe, S. Africa, Singapore and Australia or perhaps Brazil. North Africa based subsea-capping stack, preferably located in Alexandria. Is to be used in the case of a national or regional subsea blowout. Solutions would comply with local government regulations, EPA guidelines, increase the response safety, and reduce the time, costs, and damage during an offshore crisis. TRENDSETTER ENGINEERING have partnered with SAPESCO and have submitted an offer to EGPC to secure a CAPPING
