1. Backgrround

ASOC (AAscension/ SAAIT Oil Compaany) is a jointt venture of A

Ascension Oil Company and SAIT Oil
compan ny, two estab
blished Canad dian conventio onal oil comppanies. While both firms have experience
developping conventiional plays (upstream and downstream m), this is theirr first heavy o
oil developmeent
project and the budgget is several orders of maagnitude largeer than what they are accustomed to.
Investo
or money wass required to put
p the deal together
t and the project - UFI (Upgradeer Facility 1) - is a
greenfield project with
w a three-ye ear constructtion schedule , a $10 billion
n budget and a target annu ual
production of 65 million barrels.

2. Contraacting Sttrategy

There are
a 16 primarry constructio on contractorss, multiple suubcontractorss and four enggineering firm
ms.
Most coompanies aree working on a cost-reimbu ursable basis,, but some sm
maller, discrette pieces of w
work
are being constructe
ed on a lump--sum basis. Thhe constructi on managem ment function is being
perform
med in some cases
c by the engineering,
e procurementt & construction (EPC) com mpany, and in n
some cases by a connstruction maanager hired by
b the ownerr.

3. Compllexity

The com
mplexity of thhe project is the
t result of multiple
m stakeeholders working a varietyy of shifts and
d
using multiple
m rules of credit, mu
ultiple progresssing systemss, multiple co
oding systemss (many
stakeho
olders have different desiggnators for th
he same partss, tools, and eequipment) and multiple
invento
ory managem ment systems.

4. Constrruction Manage
M ment

The enggineering commpanies and construction

c firms are nott configured aas an EPC and
d the owner h
has
hired a constructionn manager to manage the project:
p TFI CConstruction MManagementt (CM), Inc. (th
he
course instructor).

5. Projecct Contro
ols

The con
nstruction maanager has identified interrnal requirem
ments for the ccontractors to do their ow
wn
project controls. The
ey are also re
equired to rep
port progress based on thee CM project controls grouup’s
require
ements. Projeect control req
quirements will
w be provideed by the connstruction maanager’s projeect
controls group.

6. Engine
eering

The enggineering for the pipe rackk (CWP 200) is being comppleted by Fluo
or Engineeringg, a well-
establisshed industriaal engineeringg company. The
T CWP 200 pipe rack will tie in to CW
WP 300, which h is
being developed
d by Convex Engin neering.

Scope changes
c and additions
a havve delayed thee completionn of engineering and procu
urement of
materiaals. These sco
ope changes where
w initiate
ed by ASOC.

7. Materrials Man
nagement

To redu uce costs, ASOOC has decide

ed to store all materials in their warehoousing facilityy and release
those materials
m onlyy when the CW
WP (Construcction Work Paackage) is 1000% complete.. The 100% reelease
rule is not
n expected to be a problem because when the exeecution plan w was developeed, all materials
were exxpected to be e purchased or
o fabricated prior to the sstart of construction.

Delays in engineerin ng have resultted in delays in procuring ppurchased annd fabricated materials. No
ote:
contracctors will onlyy be able to access materiaals attached tto the CWP th
hat they havee been assigneed.

8. Fabrication

To reduuce costs, fab brication is be

eing done on a unit-cost baasis for steel. Pipe spools aare being
fabricatted off-site in
n Edmonton anda transportted to site ins tallation. Pilin
ngs are beingg fabricated o
off-
site by the contracto or.

9. Equipm
ment, Sccaffoldin
ng and SSpecialtyy Tools

To reduuce costs, ASO OC has decideed to store all equipment, scaffolding mmaterials and specialty toools in
a varietty of locations around the worksite and d release thosse items to th
he contractors upon writteen
requestt. Note: contrractors will on o access itemss attached to the CWP thaat they have b
nly be able to been
assigneed. The locatioons have been identified based
b on the CWP develop ped by the enngineering firm
ms.
These were
w based on the level-3 schedule andd were determ mined prior too contractor selection. Fo
or
detailedd equipment,, scaffolding and
a specialty tools, pleasee see the reso ource handout.

10. Claimss

Even th
hough this is a cost-reimbu
ursable contraact, in cases w
where the CM M recommend ds that some costs
not be reimbursed, the
t contracto or may opt to
o make a claim m (e.g., trainin
ng costs).

11. Permittting and

d Safetyy

Prior to
o gaining acceess to the sitee, the contractor and otherr parties will be required tto complete a
safety orientation
o annd wear all de esignated Perrsonal Protecctive Equipmeent (PPE). Perrmitting is
requireed for all heavvy lift and exccavation activvities prior to work commeencing. Areas where permitting
is requiired must follow detailed permitting
p insstructions.

12. Laydow
wn Areaas

All layd ntified based on the CWP ddeveloped byy the engineeering firms. Th
down areas haave been iden hese
were baased on the le
evel-3 schedu
ule and were determined prior to contrractor selection.

13. Scope of Workk

nd this is part of a much larger pipe rack that continues

The classroom consttruction is at 1/10 scale an
throughh much of the
e project.

14. Constrruction

14.1 Civil

Nationaal Earthworkss has been sub-contracted d to completee the civil porttion of the co
ontract. They are a
very exxperienced annd capable contractor. To reduce
r equip ment costs, aall perimeter pilings (as shown
in the CWP)
C will be installed usingg the short-boom crane, pprior to installing the centrral pilings usin
ng
the long-boom crane. In the execcution plan, th he civil work was planned to be compleete prior to
structural or piping starting,
s his condition should not neegatively imp
so th pact the consttruction activvities.

Delays in engineerin
ng have resultted in delays in procuring ppurchased an
nd fabricated materials.

14.2 Structu
ural Steel

The ste
eel work has been
b sub-contracted with the fabricatioon of steel an nd is being doone by ASI Steeel.
The ere
ection is beingg done by Steeel Structuress, an experiennced and veryy capable con ntractor.
According to the exeecution plan, the steel sho ould be fabric ated and deliivered to ASO
OC for
warehoousing prior too the start off steel erectio
on.

ng have resultted in delays in procuring ppurchased an

Delays in engineerin nd fabricated materials.

14.3 Piping

Piping fabrication
f an
nd erection iss being done by
b the prime contractor Depot, an expeerienced and very
capablee contractor. According to the executioon plan, spooll fabrication sshould be com
mpleted and
delivere
ed to ASOC foor warehousing prior to thhe start of pippe erection.

Delays in engineerin nd fabricated materials.

15. Quality Assuraance/Qu

uality Co
ontrol (Q
QA/QC)

QA/QC will ensure that constructtion adheres tot all site safeety standardss and is consttructed as
ed in the mosst recent verssion of the CW
indicate WP.
