                  ROLLS-ROYCE AND TOTAL SIGN OFFSHORE ENGINE                   
                               MAINTENANCE DEAL                                

Rolls-Royce and TOTAL E & P UK plc* have signed a multi-million dollar contract
for the technical support of key equipment in service on offshore platforms
operated by TOTAL.

TOTAL E & P UK plc has awarded Rolls-Royce an extension to an existing contract
covering its Avon and RB211 gas turbines installed on the Alwyn North and Elgin
gas production platforms in the North Sea.

The Long Term Service Agreement (LTSA) contract is the second significant such
contract secured by the Rolls-Royce energy business in recent weeks. It follows
the recent signing of an £11.2 million agreement with Metragaz, operator of the
Maghreb pipeline supplying Spain and Portugal with natural gas from Algeria via
Morocco.

The five Avon units in the Alwyn Field undertake power generation and gas
compression duties and have been in service since the 1980s. The new LTSA,
which runs for just over six years, is an extension to a similar contract
signed in 1991.

It includes both scheduled and unscheduled maintenance including availability
guarantees, and will manage and control the operator's maintenance budget while
helping to maximise productivity of the Alwyn Field.

The original contract covers the seven Rolls-Royce RB211 gas turbines installed
on the Elgin platform in the 1990s, providing a range of power generation and
gas compression services.

Tom Curley, President of the Rolls-Royce energy business, said: "Long Term
Service Agreements bring valuable benefits to owners and operators of
Rolls-Royce equipment, ensuring maximum availability and efficiency across the
full range of offshore and onshore operating environments."
