2015 Phast/Safeti User Conferences

Our user conferences serve a number of functions. They are an avenue wherein we can communicate to
you (our customers), expected and planned updates to the products, the product vision, progress in
product development, novel applications and other product related matters. They are also a channel by
which we can listen to feedback from users in terms of how our tools have helped them address some of
the hard and often challenging safety related issues of our time as well as what we can do to ensure they
continue to add value in the future. Above all, they offer an opportunity to meet face-to-face and discuss
issues of mutual concern, foster existing friendships and develop new ones.

To that end, we would hope many of you would be able to take time out of your busy schedules to
attend the sessions in your region. We have conferences scheduled for Marseille, Houston, Mexico,
Shanghai, Busan, Abu-Dhabi and Mumbai. The KL session took place earlier in the month (September
9th. See below for feedback on this). They will all be taking place between Q3/Q4 2015. Formal invites
have/will be sent out soon.

For those of you who will not be able to attend, we plan to make recordings of the event available to
download soon after. We are also exploring the possibility of allowing people to attend remotely via the
internet. As usual, the presentations delivered will be made available on the customer portal
(http://dnvs.force.com/).

Safeti 7.2 Upgrade Workshops planned

As indicated in previous status notes, the Safeti 7.2 project is progressing as planned and is in the
advanced stages of development.

In anticipation of the release, upgrade workshops have been planned. The goal of these sessions is to
familiarize users with the new interface, features and workflow. For the most part, the workshops have
been scheduled to take place in tandem with the user conferences (as an extra day after the
conference); however, a number of dedicated sessions are also planned.

At the current time, the user conferences for which workshops are planned for include:
• Houston
• Mexico
• Marseille
• UAE

Please see our events page (https://www.dnvgl.com/software/events.html ) for details of the sessions.

Feedback on KL User Conference

The first user conference for 2015 took place at the Sheraton Imperial Kuala Lumpur Hotel in Malaysia.
The event was well attended with around 50 delegates present. We want to express our thanks to those
who attended the session and for the feedback offered. Your views are central to the continuous
improvement of the entire product line.

A range of presentations were given. These included a number from DNV GL Software that centred on
the developments and updates in the various products. Central to this was a session highlighting the
new features associated with Safeti 7.2.

A presentation outlining the various modelling updates expected for version 7.2 and planned for future
releases was also given as well as a case study demonstrating the immense benefit Safeti Offshore offers
in terms of visualization and how this improves the value of offshore QRA largely in the area of
communicating results and engaging stakeholders.

Richard Lee, a Senior Risk & HSE Consultant with DNV GL presented on Building Risk assessment. His
paper was titled “Building Risk Assessment using Phast Risk v6.7 - Blast Loads on Building using TNO
Multi-Energy Modelling”. The full list of presentations is as follows:

• Next generation world leading QRA software: Safeti 7.2

• Modelling developments update for Phast and Safeti
• Safeti Offshore: Visualisation of Offshore Risk
• Building Risk Assessment using Phast Risk v6.7 - Blast Loads on Building using TNO Multi-Energy
Modelling

The presentations will be made available on the customer portal (http://dnvs.force.com/) in the near
future. Please note the presentations from past conferences can also be accessed at the same location.

First Safeti 7.2 Upgrade Workshop held

Following the User Conference, the first Safeti 7.2 upgrade workshop was successfully delivered in Kuala
Lumpur. The event took place the day after the user conference was held and was attended by
approximately 20 delegates.

Attendees were introduced to the new version of Safeti (version 7.2) for which a full commercial release
is expected soon. The workshop involved a combination of presentations and hands on exercises
designed to familiarize users with the latest updates.

The feedback was overwhelmingly positive. A lot of comments were made about the user friendliness of
the new user interface (now fully aligned with Phast 7.x and Safeti Offshore) as well the new features
(input grid, fire exceedance curves, long pipeline risk model to mention a few).
As noted above, sessions are planned for other locations. Please see our events page
(https://www.dnvgl.com/software/events.html) for more information.
