EXHIBIT – G
TESTS AND QUALITY CONTROL
1. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
All operations carried out during the project will conform to the technical and operational specifications and
Acquisition quality control criteria set forth in the bid invitation document. However, during the program, it is
intended to monitor and assess any deviations and proposed modifications to the quality control criteria. An
evaluation of these criteria shall be made to determine whether practical adjustments can be incorporated to
the Acquisition quality control during the Work.
Any deviations or modifications to the bid invitation document requested by contractor must be documented
and approved by the Company. All specified quality control and specifications as out lined in this Exhibit shall
be integrated and adapted where logical and practical to the operational environment.
All the equipment mobilization and audit must be completed before parameter testing. Parameter testing is
subject to presence and clearance of all required equipment through audit by the COMPANY.
2. SYSTEM SYNCHRONIZATION
The electronic program for the Seismic system shall control the synchronization of all other systems such as
energy source and all other associated logging and monitoring systems being recorded during the Acquisition
cycle.
In the case of the recording system being remote from the energy source, the integrity of the Data link
communication must be maintained within the operational range of the systems. Loss of communication due
to system failure, static or other interference causing loss of Data transmission will constitute a misfire as
described in Section 8 below.
Synchronization of the recording system for Dynamite shooting will be controlled by the radio shooting system.
The transmitted time break will be synchronized to the recording within 0-250 milliseconds. Prior to the start of
recording operations and when blasters and radio controlled shooting systems are repaired and replaced, a full
systems synchronization test will be carried out in accordance to system operational performance tests.
Page 54 of 161
3. GENERAL NOISE SPECIFICATIONS
5.1 3.1 Noise Spread
Noise specifications as outlined in this section are set as guidelines. Noise levels should be evaluated by
establishing a comparison between recorded signal levels at the zones of interest to background (ambient)
and interference noises (wind, vehicles, oil well facilities, etc.). The Company Representative will be
responsible for establishing noise specifications based on fixed gain monitors to maintain a signal to noise
ratio of 1.5:1 or better throughout the operational area.
A fixed gain monitor of the spread noise recorded (in Instantaneous floating point [IFP] if 24 bit system) will
be made on the field tape and displayed on a paper monitor prior to the start of any production line, prior
to the start of shooting after each recorder move-up, at the start of a new day and at any time requested
by Company Representative. The paper records will be identified as a "spread noise recording" with the
date and time, the fixed gain the general weather state (i.e. raining, windy, other) noted and will be filed
with the monitor records for that line.
The spread noise record will be made with the normal recording filters and recording settings. A record
will be made with all channels analyzed by the Seismic Q.C. system.
Spread noise is quoted in milli volts RMS and is defined as the noise at the amplifier input .
Company Representative will determine spread noise based on fixed gain monitors to keep a signal to
noise ratio of 1.5:1 or better and will rely on field processing results to confirm or modify the specifications.
Acceptable noise levels are expected to be in the levels of 80 to 100  volts or equivalent to 73 DB down
from converter full scale dependent on gain constant applied. For random short periods up to 130  volts
can be tolerated. Noise strip in recorder will be generated after every 15 minutes.
3.1.1 Coherent Noise for Split Spread

Move-out Over 1 km Max.
Move-out Over 1 km Max. Acceptable level
Less than 100 millisecond 80  volts
100 - 250 millisecond 100  volts
250 - 500 millisecond 130  volts
Greater than 500 millisecond 150  volts
3.1.2 Random Noise

Maximum acceptable level 80 to 100  volts
The above figures may be adjusted in accordance to the pre-amplifier gain constant. For areas with high
ambient noise levels, acceptable noise levels should be selected by evaluating the signal to noise ratio with
an in-field processing system. Checks should be made on a regular basis with the in-field quality control
system to evaluate acceptable ambient noise levels so expediency can be exercised in the field so not to
continually interrupt operations.
A system's reference signal of appropriate amplitude should be made available on the field records to
directly cross reference to the noise levels.
3.1.3 Sensor Parameters for Recording
Resistance: 410 – 490 Ohm for 2 geophone strings per group (depending upon the
sensor type/manufacturer specifications.)
Page 55 of 161
Leakage:Minimum 2 Mega Ohm

Tilt: +/- 5 %
AGC Gain & WZ velocity: to be selected by PPL representative at the filed
Note: No filter or specification will be applied until client written approval. Deviation from specified
parameters will not be allowed.
4. CABLES AND GROUPS
Contractor will continually check, monitor and log the spread for noise and faulty groups.
All significantly noise, open circuit (dead) traces, and traces with low response, should be investigated and
repaired in an expedient period. All faulty traces, as above, will be documented on the observer's logs and
quality control report log, if in use.
At no time will the start of the day's recording commence when the full recording spread is not to operational
specifications. The Company Representative has the authority to suspend, at any time, recording operations, if
the recording spread does not meet the operational specifications as outline in this Exhibit G.
During operations, if for any reason, the cable(s) have to be moved from their original position, then the new
location of each receiver station will be re-surveyed (RTK) and documented, date and time for the change of
location is required if the receiver locations were moved during a recording cycle (the period when Data is
recorded over the full stacked spread).
For roll-along recording, the Contractor will endeavor to ensure that there will be no defective groups when the
cable(s) are deployed. The operators are required to quality control the spread ahead of the recording.
Receivers
The contractor is to ensure that individual geophones will be securely planted vertically and will endeavor to
push the case well into the ground wherever possible. In the case where wind noise will seriously affect the
signal to noise ratio, then the geophones will be buried below the ground surface to reduce the effects of the
wind on the geophone elements. Where ground conditions do not permit the burying of the geophones, and
spread noise is outside normal acceptable standards, then the Company Representative must be informed of
the situation. Shot records having consecutive dead/faulty channels would be rejected, unless specified by
Client Representative.
Receiver offset is not allowed until written approval from the company representative.
All receiver elements will be placed along the line so the cabling will not be entangled in the line cables or on
any of the surrounding vegetation or other objects.
The geophone cabling should be deployed along the ground so there is no tension forced on the geophone case
to cause it to be not dislodged from its seat nor cause any vibration along its cable to the element due to
movement cause by wind.
All geophone elements will be placed in the ground at the correct spacing to ensure that the array is equally set
across the station center. A metry should be used to ensure correct spacing between geophones.
5. SEISMIC SOURCE (Explosives)
Depth of the charge will be carefully measured with a calibrated loading pole and reported just after
loading on the loader's log. Charge size and depth should also be marked and left at each individual shot
point.
Page 56 of 161
Time break confirmation and up-hole times should be systematically recorded for each shot point.
All loaded charges will be securely tamped with sufficient gravel so that the energy from the detonation is
contained in the ground. Shot point blowouts are unacceptable.
Any charges that are loaded shallower than the required depth must be reported to the field supervisor
and the Company Representative.
The Company Representative and field supervisor will assess the shallow charge situation and exercise the
correct procedures to detonate the charge as a production shot point or otherwise and where required
have the shot point re-drilled and reloaded.
In the event where shot point positions must be re-located to avoid obstructions then the specifications in
Exhibit G-5 shall be applied.
All shot point(s) shot-hole positions will be verified to DGPS Data acquired during Acquisition. The in-field
processed data will be the final post survey shot point position. However, contractor will provide both pre-
and post-drill SPS (both in UTM and Lat. / Long format). Shooter must be equipped with GPS system to
ensure correct SP to be detonated. Detonated SP will be monitored on daily basis to ensure correct
sequence of SP detonated and recorded and to avoid any kind of charged shot hole to be skipped in the
survey area due to high source density per square kilometer.
All the workers engaged in loading and unloading or conveying explosive must be trained in the proper
means for handling the explosives, the hazards of fire and the procedures to be followed in the event of a
fire or explosion. They must be trained to carry out the normal tasks and have the requisite knowledge to
take quick and good decisions in the emergency.
It is mandatory to arrange explosive company trainer to deliver the training sessions at crew level for
explosive handling certification before the start of seismic operations.
6. RECORDING
Monitor Records
Multi-channel paper monitors to be made for every shot point. Each monitor will be annotated to show line
number shot point number etc. and verified by signature of the person who assessed the record quality as it
was produced.
Shot instant (T.B.), timing signal, 10 Hz timing line display, 100 Hz timing reference signal, a calibrated oscillator
reference signal (for noise amplitude comparisons) and the Seismic detector groups will all be displayed.
The timing lines and timing reference signal should not deviate by more than 2 millisecond over the full length
of the record period.
The confirmation time break and the Up-Hole time will be recorded and displayed on auxiliary channels. Up-
Hole time will directly be recorded in SPS files and manual editing for up-hole time in SPS will strictly be
discouraged.
Magnetic Recording Tapes
All Seismic and positioning Data will be recorded on new certified magnetic tapes of a manufacturer and brand
acceptable to Company (e.g. IBM 3592/3590/3490 or LTO-5) with standard length.
Proper precautions will be observed in recording, sealing, storing and transporting both new, recorded and tape
copies.
Page 57 of 161
Contractor will ensure in accordance to the manufacturers specifications and warranties, that all tapes
prepared by Contractor in performance of the Work and/or services under this Contract shall be of such quality
that, on the basis of normal wear and tear and proper storage, Company is able to use such tapes for the period
as guaranteed by the manufacture. Contractor will endeavor to use tapes that have a life warranty of seven (7)
to ten (10) years.
Cartridge labels will be labeled with Company's name, Contractor's name, Crew name, and/or Crew number,
prospect area, tape number, calendar date, swath number, file numbers, shot point numbers, sample rate and
record length.
In the case where tape copying is performed in-field, Contractor shall use tapes from two different brands or
two different vintages of the same brand for each copy.
Tape cartridges will be numbered consecutively, with proper identification distinguishing field Data tapes from
copy tapes.
7. Polarity
Magnetic tape recording, read-after-write, or playback monitor polarity will be to normal SEG convention.
Polarity will be checked prior to start of survey and whenever cable sections are replaced, repaired and when
there is a change in signal routing.
Contractor shall confirm and document the system polarity. The overall system polarity should be such that a
downward motion of the geophones case results in a positive number being written on tape. It shall be
responsibility of Contractor to provide a “scribe” tape which can be read by the recording system and
reproduced on the display device. This “scribe” tape shall have pulses on all channels including auxiliaries, of
known polarity and shall be used to demonstrate the polarity of the display system.
The purpose of this demonstration is to provide a basis from which to evaluate the polarity of the recording
system.
8. DEFECTIVE GROUPS
A Seismic group will be considered defective if:

 Systems noise, including all wiring and jumper cables from the spread input to tape recorders exceed
manufacturer's specifications when all normal machinery is operating during a recording cycle.
 It is dead, intermittent or more than 3 DB down relative to the sensitivity of contiguous groups when noise
levels on these groups meet the specifications as outlined in Section 3 above.
 The signal content does not conform or is dissimilar in any way to the character of contiguous groups.
 The random noise on any group does not meet the specifications as outlined in Section 3 above, or noise
bursts exceed 200 volts peak to peak and/or with a repetition rate less than 600 millisecond.
 Noise levels on the geophones indicate that the element(s) are not correctly planted.
 It is distorted or has a phase shift of more than +1 millisecond.
 Polarity is reversed.
 It exhibits electrical leakage or the cable insulation between pairs and from ground is less than specified.
9. MISFIRES
A misfire is any Seismic record not correctly recorded, or not recorded to the magnetic medium, or is not
useable.
The following are examples that constitute a misfire:

 Loss of magnetic recording.
 Loss of time break.
 Time break is not correctly synchronized to the system cycle delay time.
 Shot pattern does not detonate (Dynamite shot-point).
Page 58 of 161
 Partially detonates resulting in unacceptable Data quality.

 Loss of recording of positioning Data.
 Recorded shot having data length less than 6 sec
All such shot holes would be re-drilled and recorded again.
10. WORK NOT TO COMMENCE OR TO BE INTERRUPTED
Recording will not commence or will be interrupted when any of the following conditions occur:
 The recording system does not meet the manufactures daily test specifications.
 Data signal polarity not in accordance with specifications.
 Cable noise recording has not been made.
 Multi-channel monitor malfunction. However, recording may continue with Company Representative's
approval, if Contractor can later playback the missed records and demonstrate acceptable Data quality.
Any re-shoots for unacceptable Data under these circumstances would be at Contractor's expense.
 Random noise throughout the spread exceeds specifications or noise bursts exceed 200  volts peak to
peak, or external coherent noise which will be detrimental to the Data quality. In either case, the Company
Representative will be required to make an assessment prior to continuation of operations.
 Minimum of two tape cartridge drives is not operational. Company Representative may relax this.
 2% or more traces defective, or 2 or more adjacent traces or more than 2 traces in any selected group of 50
traces.
 Loss of recorded up-hole time for more than 3 consecutive shot points.
 Recording will not continue when any of the conditions outline in Section 8 of this Exhibit occur.
In addition, the provisions of Section 10 of this Exhibit will apply.
11. RE-SHOOTING
The following conditions will constitute reasons for any required re-shoots:
 If the interruption or reshoot is for reasons whereby the Contractor is accountable, the reshoot, including
any required overlap, is for Contractor's account.
 The amount of overlap and the portion of line to be re-shot shall be approved by the Company
Representative:
 No miss-fire would be allowed. All lost VP/shot points / miss-fires would be reverberate / re-drilled / re
shoot

of activity like vehicle movement, generator or mechanical work will not allowed sleeping properly to
geophones. In this condition SMT test results will not be satisfactory.
All the geophone strings will be tested against their individually identified number and the results of these pre-
survey checks will be submitted to PPL QC /representative. The tolerance for each string will be +/- 05% relative
to the reference string or manufacturer specifications.
Cables being used for survey should be free of any cut / surface damaged.
Crew should have sufficient number of grip meters and line testers.
All the cables and geophones strings picked up by Back Cable Crew should be brought back to base camp for
leakage and SMT test. Physical inspection for wiring defects and plus should be conducted for all cables and
geophones. Leakage test @ 20 mega ohms in the base will be performed for all geophone strings and SMT test
will be conducted for geophone strings. The tolerance level should be according to above paragraph.
All equipment must meet manufacturer’s specifications at all times during the recording (Manuals and
specifications of all equipment should be available at the crew in English version) except when modifications as
required by PPL Representative impose different specifications. The Crew should have on site adequate spares,
supplies tools, and, in practical, the technical expertise to maintain all equipment to manufacturer’s
specifications at all times.
Each channel must have identical response, with in manufacturer’s tolerance, a vertical unit impulse;
Front crew will not be allowed to use any cable or geophone string directly from the field or back crew.
Detail list of equipment (with manufacturing date/ import date in Pakistan) and key personals which crew is
using for any project will be submitted before mobilization of crew.
Contractor will send the instrument test tape to a processing center for computer evaluation as rapidly as
possible or will be evaluated in the field if possible. The computer center evaluation will be made available to
Company Representative and one copy of the test tape will be sent to Company's office in Karachi for further
evaluation.
The daily and monthly instrument tests shall include but not be limited to the following:

Page 60 of 161
Company Representative will approve the set of daily instrument test records. These tests will be recorded on
the field tapes ahead of the Seismic Data.
Monthly Instrument Tests
In addition to the start-up test, a comprehensive set of tests will be conducted monthly and at any time after
the system has been shut down for repairs. These tests will be conducted in accordance to the schedules that
will be supplied on the Crew.
A copy of the monthly test tapes and the results of these tests will be submitted to Company.
Receiver Array
Before the Start of Operations
All the geophone strings will be checked against their individually identified number for resistance, sensitivity,
leakage and polarity using a diagnostic unit available on the Crew (i.e. Cable Tester, Geophone Tester SMT-300).
The tests will be undertaken using a new geophone string as reference, and this same string will be kept as
reference for the duration of the operations. All the geophone strings will be individually identified (numbered)
and the results of these pre-survey checks will be submitted to Company Representative. The tolerance for
each string will be +/- 5% relative to the reference stringor manufacturer specifications.
All geophones strings should be inspected for wiring defects and proper construction then tested for leakage,
resistance, sensitivity and proper polarity. Geophone strings should be tested using Sensor SMT-300, or
above system after being planted and allowed to rest /sleep for 24 hours.
During the Operations
The field Crew will apply systematic procedures for control and maintenance of the cable and detectors and will
issue a written report of these tests, the tolerance of +/- 5% related to the reference geophone strings will be
maintained; should repairs be performed on the equipment, correct polarity will be verified after repair.
Contractor will perform continuous testing of geophone strings on a rotational basis such as each string is
tested every month. During layout contractor would check every string after layout with Grip Meter.
Leakage
The leakage performance test at base camp will be better than 20 mega ohm.
All receivers tested at the start of the operations and subsequently during the operations will meet the
specification, if they do not, then the station will be considered non-operative. During field checks, a group
with a leakage less than 2 mega ohm shall be noted in the observer's log and the observer will locate and
eliminate the source of leakage.
All receivers and cables that are rejected for leakage will be repaired to meet the leakage specifications. All
repairs to equipment will be documented and meet the approval of the Company Representative before being
returned to the field.
Leakage test will be undertaken before SMT test. For leakage test it is necessary to dip the strings for one
minute in water tub. SMT test will be conducted by burying the geophone strings in wet sand for at least 24
hours and there should be no vehicles, generators etc. in the vicinity of SMT test area.
The geophone sand plant should not be inside the cable shop, near to mechanical shop or generator. Any kind
of activity like vehicle movement, generator or mechanical work will not allow sleeping properly to geophones.
In this condition SMT test results will not be acceptable.
All the cables and geophones strings picked up by Back Cable Crew should be brought back to base camp for
leakage and SMT test. Physical inspection for wiring defects and plus should be conducted for all cables and
geophones. Leakage test @ 20 mega ohms in the base will be performed for all geophone strings and SMT test
