1.2 Project Background

Shell Quest is a fully integrated Carbon Capture and Sequestration (CCS) project.
It will capture and store up to 1.2 million tonnes of CO2 per year from the
Scotford Upgrader and the Scotford Upgrader Expansion.

The CO2 will be captured from the Scotford steam methane reformer (SMR)
units. The CO2 is then compressed, cooled and sent for transportation by pipeline
to injection wells located near the Scotford Complex. The CO2 is injected into an
aquifer at a depth of approximately 2,300 meters underground.

Title
Control Narrative

The CO2 produced by the Scotford facility will be metered as it leaves the
compressor but before it is cooled (the CO2 will be in a single phase and will be
easier to measure) and at each of the well sites. The high accuracy metering will
be used for leak detection, production accounting and allocation. All process and
equipment status data will be passed between Scotford, the CO2 pipeline and the
injection well sites via SCADA network. This information will be made available
to operations through the DCS.

Note: the actual amount of data to be passed from each facility has not yet been
determined so development will proceed based on a standard wellsite data
requirement.

2. Project Scope
Tri Ocean Engineering scope of work consists of the following:

 Design and installation of a buried high pressure pipeline that will be used
to transport dehydrated, compressed, liquid/dense phase CO2.

 The development of five (5) CO2 injection well sites in the CO2 storage
area near Radway and Thorhild, Alberta.

 Design, develop and supply pigging facilities for the pipeline.

 Design, develop and supply Line Break Valve packages which will
include the associated monitoring and control for the LBV valves.

 Design and installation of a new pipeline and wellsite SCADA system that
includes a local RTU at each well site and all the associated site
instrumentation (see instrument index) for monitoring, control and
shutdown. This system function is to include the collection and
transmission of data from the pipeline and well sites back to the capture
facility (Scotford) control room.

 Design and development of a new water wells around the CO2 injection
well sites shall require monitoring to confirm that the injection site is
stable. Actual monitoring requirements to be determined during Detailed
Design phase of project.

Control Narrative

 The CO2 capture facility, constructed within the Scotford Plant battery
limit, will be executed by others. This facility will require both hardwired
and a communication interface with the master SCADA PLC. These
interfaces will transfer process data from the capture facility (i.e. the local
metering skid, the CO2 compressor, etc.) for control and shutdown of the
pipeline. The metering skid will be used as an integral part of the leak
detection on the pipeline system.

3. Control System Overview

The Quest CCS pipeline control system design has a limited I/O requirement but
requires process measurement and control that is spread over the length of the
pipeline. The SCADA control system is comprised of five (5) segments:

1) Wellsite packages (5 total); these packages will include reservoir

monitoring for each of the well sites.

2) Pipeline LBV packages (7 total)

3) CO2 Metering (capture facility and well sites)

4) SCADA Master PLC and CO2 capture facility – control and shut down
interface

5) Water well sites (used for CO2 injection monitoring)

3.1 Wellsite Packages

A preliminary total of five (5) well sites are positioned near the end of the main
CO2 distribution pipeline. Each of the well sites will be supplied with a local RTU
and the associated field and injection well instrumentation. This instrumentation
will consist of the following:

 RTU-702x00 – control and shutdown equipment will be used to monitor

site conditions and provide both control and shutdown functionality. The
wellsite RTU provides I/O for the site instrumentation, control and
shutdown logic, and transfers data between the well site and Scotford.
The RTU is housed in a dedicated enclosure and is supplied with ancillary
equipment (i.e. radio, antenna, mast, solar panels and batteries).

 PDIT-702x02 – this differential pressure transmitter measures the D/P

across the CO2 Particulate Filter (S-70201) and alarms on a high
differential pressure. The measurement is recorded and may initiate
alarms only (no shutdown will occur from this measurement).

 PSV-702x01 – this pressure relief valve is mounted on the CO2 particulate

filter (S-70201) to protect the filter from overpressure. The PSV is sized
for thermo relief case.

 TIT-702x03 – this temperature transmitter is installed to monitor the

temperature upstream of the flow control valve (FCV-702x04). This
measurement is used detect any abnormal temperature conditions within
the process. The measurement is recorded and may initiate alarms only (no
shutdown will occur from this measurement).

 FIT-702x04 – this coriolis type flow meter will monitor CO2 flow (kg/hr)
to the well. The flow data will be totalized in the RTU, sent to the host for
the mass balance calculation. The flow rate (kg/hr) will also be used as the
process variable for flow controller (FIC-702x04). The measurement is
recorded and may initiate alarms only (no shutdown will occur from this
measurement).

 FCV-702x04 – this control valve is used to control the CO2 flow rate to
the injection well. Control of this valve shall be determined by the status
of a number of process variables:

a) (PIC-702x03) pressures upstream of the flow control valve

b) (FIC-702x04) injection flow rate

c) (PIC-702x05) pressure at the wellhead

d) (TIC-702x05) temperature at the wellhead

e) (DIC-702x05) density of the process (calculated variable based on

pressure and temperature measurements – may be removed)

The PID controllers shall monitor the wellsite process conditions and the
controller outputs are connected to low select function blocks. The lowest
controller output will control the position of the valve. The control valve actuator
may use N2 or O2 as the instrument gas.

 PIT-702x05 – this pressure transmitter is installed to monitor the pressure

at the wellhead. This measurement provides the process variable for the
direct acting pressure controller (PIC-702x05). The measurement is
recorded and may initiate alarms only (no shutdown will occur from this
measurement).

 PIT-702x07 – this pressure transmitter is installed to monitor the pressure

at the wellhead casing pressure. This measurement is used detect any
abnormal pressure conditions within the well casing. The measurement is
recorded and may initiate alarms only (no shutdown will occur from this
measurement).

 PIT-702x08 – this pressure transmitter is installed to monitor the

downhole / reservoir pressure. The measurement is recorded and may
initiate alarms only (no shutdown will occur from this measurement).
Note, as a control option, PIT-702x08 may be selected as a process
variable for the pressure controller (PIC-702x05). This function is an
operator select function enabled with a DCS selector switch (PHS-702-
x05).

 TIT-702x08 – this temperature transmitter is installed to monitor the

downhole / reservoir temperature. The measurement is recorded and may
initiate alarms only (no shutdown will occur from this measurement).
Note, as a control option, TIT-702x08 may be selected as a process
variable for the pressure controller (TIC-702x05). This function is an
operator select function enabled with a DCS selector switch (THS-702-
x05).

 UV-702x06 – the wellsite ESD valve (UV-702x06) function is to isolate

the well in the event of an abnormal condition (trips are identified in SDK
09223-0-DG-BD-00001.01). This fire rated 900# ANSI stainless steel ball
valve is line size and is supplied with a metal seated full port ball and a
self-contained hydraulic actuator assembly.

The shutdown of this valve is initiated from the RTU for either a local
control action or remote signal (via SCADA) to the site. To open the valve
(for an initial start-up or after a shutdown), all shutdowns need to be
cleared or bypassed and then a local manual reset by operations is
required, an automatic reset function is not available. Position switches on
the valve (ZSC/ZSO-702x06) provide status of valve position to the RTU.

down hole in the event where an abnormal condition has occurred. This
valve will mirror the action of the site ESD valve. The local SSSV
hydraulic panel will shutdown this valve. The shutdown is initiated from
either local control actions or remote signal (via SCADA) and is
connected to the valve hydraulic panel for the trip. Opening the valve after
a trip will require a manual reset by operations, automatic reset is not

3.1.1 Wellsite Control and Shutdown Functionality

CO2 is delivered to the well sites by the pipeline. Flow measurement of the CO2 to
each well site is accomplished with a coriolis meter. Note: two phase flow is a
difficult process to measure accurately. CO2 at steady state conditions will be in a
dense phase and will allow accurate measurement of the flow to the well sites.
Each flow transmitter will provide process information (i.e. mass flow (kg/hr),
density (kg/m3), etc.) for the flow control loop (as process variable). The
measurement shall also be used with the mass balance calculation of the pipeline
and to assist in monitoring and determination of a pipeline leak. Flow totalization
for each site will occur within the RTU.

Each well site has a number of transmitters to monitor process variables within
the piping, wellhead casing and within the reservoir. Some of the transmitters
provide a process variable for a PID controller while the others are for indication
and alarming.

3.1.1.1 Control Functions

The flow control valves (FV-702x04) is the only final automated control element
at each site. This valve has a number of PID controllers that have the potential to
control its actions. In normal operating conditions, the flow controller (FIC-
702x04) will be the primary control for the valve. If abnormal conditions appear,
selection of the controlling PID is performed by logic within the RTU. The
control variables that could control valve actions are as follows:

 PIC-702x03 – this direct acting controller monitors the pressure upstream

of the flow control valve. The setpoint (sent to the RTU from the DCS via
the SCADA interface) for the controller is set lower that the normal
operating pressure. In normal operating conditions, the controller output
will be high because the measured process pressure is higher that the
setpoint. The RTU low select logic will not select this controller output for
the valve. In the event were the measured pressure drops below the
setpoint (i.e. LBV trips, pipeline leak, etc.) that controller output will start
to drop, once it is less that the other controller output, it will now control
valve action and cause the valve to close.

Control Narrative

 FIC-702x04 - this reverse acting controller monitors the CO2 flow rate to
the injection well. The setpoint (sent to the RTU from the DCS via the
SCADA interface) for the flow control is based on storage allocations for
each well injection flow rate. The flow controller is the primary controller
at the well site to maintain the CO2 flow rate to the well. If, in the event an
abnormal condition is occurring, one of the other site controllers may
adjust to the condition so that their output is selected by the RTU low
select logic.

 PIC-702x05 - this reverse acting controller monitors the pressure at the

wellhead or the reservoir. The setpoint (sent to the RTU from the DCS via
the SCADA interface) for the controller is set higher that the normal
operating pressure. Selection of the process variable for this controller is
made by operations with the DCS selector switch (PHS-702x05) which
will allow selection between the wellhead or the reservoir pressures. In
normal operating conditions, the controller output will be high because the
measured process pressure is lower that the setpoint. The RTU low select
logic will not select this controller output for the valve. In the event were
the measured pressure raises above the setpoint (i.e. well or reservoir
plugging, etc.) that controller output will start to drop, once it is less that
the other controller outputs, it will now control valve action and cause the
valve to close.

 TIC-702x05 - this direct acting controller monitors the temperature at the

wellhead or the reservoir. The setpoint (sent to the RTU from the DCS via
the SCADA interface) for the controller is set lower that the normal
operating temperature. Selection of the process variable for this controller
is made by operations with the DCS selector switch (THS-702x05) which
will allow selection between the wellhead or the reservoir temperature. In
normal operating conditions, the controller output will be high because the
measured process temperature is higher that the setpoint. The RTU low
select logic will not select this controller output for the valve. In the event
were the measured temperature drops below the setpoint (i.e. well or
reservoir upset, etc.) that controller output will start to drop, once it is less
that the other controller outputs, it will now control valve action and cause
the valve to close.

 DIC-702x05 - density of the process at the wellhead or reservoir is a

calculated variable based on pressure and temperature measurements.
Control action for this controller is still to be determined. This controller
may be removed.

Control Narrative

Each well site has been provided with a CO2 vent which has the ability to vent the
pipeline. The vent is located downstream of the flow meter. The venting
procedure is a manual operation. This vent may also be used to vent the wellsite
piping.

3.1.1.2 Shutdown Functions

The well sites have a shutdown valve (UV-702-x06) on the piping to the wellhead
and a SSSV (UV-702x09) which is located downhole. When shutdown signal is
received by the RTU, trip signals will be sent to the shutdown valves to isolate the
well. The instrumentation (i.e. transmitters, etc.) at the site provide only
monitoring and alarms, they do not cause any shutdowns.

3.2 Measurement, Mitigation and Verification (MMV Data)

Each well site shall have a number of monitoring wells surrounding the injection
well which will be continuously monitored to provide reservoir data. This
monitoring shall include line of site CO2 measurement with laser detection, video
surveillance and a number of measure technologies for the reservoir and
surrounding areas. This section is still in development and identification and
technology selections are made.

3.3 Pipeline Leak Detection

The CO2 pipeline and well sites shall be continuously monitored. This monitoring
shall be used for the detection of a pipeline leak. The leak detection shall use an
internally based leak detection system. It shall be based upon the principles
indentified in CSA Z662 Oil and Gas Pipeline Systems – Annex E
“Recommended practise for liquid hydrocarbon pipeline system leak detection”.
Any leak that is detected by the system shall initiate a procedure for the isolation
of the affected area. This isolation includes a procedure which closes all the LBV
and wellsite shutdown valves.

The internal based leak detection system shall utilize the field instrumentation,
located at various locations throughout the length of the pipeline, to monitor the
pipeline conditions (i.e. flows, pressures, and temperatures). Multiple methods for
detection are planned for this project:

Control Narrative

a) Leak detection using the pressure measurement – pressure transmitters

located upstream and downstream of the LBVs shall supply pipeline
pressure data which is used to determine if abnormal condition are present
in the pipeline. If pressures reading at the same location differ greater that
a pre-determined differential, an alarm is generated to notify operations of
the abnormal condition. Operations will then review and determine the
cause for the alarm and this may initiate a shutdown of the pipeline.

b) Leak detection using flow metering (coriolis meters) – comparing the

mass flow of CO2 with the Scotford coriolis meter (custody transfer meter)
to the sum of the mass flows from the coriolis meters (custody transfer
meters) at the individual CO2 injection wells. The material balance
calculation will consider all uncertainties associated with pipeline
transmission of the CO2. If the mass flow reading differs greater than a
pre-determine differential, an alarm is generated to notify operations of the
abnormal condition. Operations will then review and determine the cause
for the alarm and this may initiate a shutdown of the pipeline.

c) Leak detection using mass or material balance – this method uses

mathematical formulas that are based on laws of conservation of
mass/matter “states that the mass of a closed system will remain constant
over time”. This procedure will utilize many factors in determining if a
leak in the pipeline is occurring. Details of this system shall be developed
during Detailed Design phase of the project. A detailed leak detection
manual shall be prepared which will provide system mapping (detailed
descriptions of each of the pipeline sections, a summary of the production
specifications, a description of each of the measurement devices and how
the data is gathered, etc.).

3.4 Pipeline LBV Packages

The CO2 pipeline has protection from a line rupture and equipment to reduce the
impact from loss of containment. The 12” pipeline will have Line Break Valves
(LBV) packages located throughout the pipeline, starting with the first valve at
the inlet to the pipeline (at Scotford), and then located at intervals of
approximately every 10-15 km (also at each side of the North Saskatchewan River
crossing). The LBV packages will contain the following equipment:

 RTU-249x00 – this equipment will be used to monitor the conditions at

the LBV site and provide both shutdown functionality for this site and the
remaining LBV sites (to initiate a total pipeline shutdown, upon
determination of a pipeline leak or line break). The LBV RTU will
provide the transfer of data between the individual LBV sites and
Scotford. The RTU equipment is housed in a weatherproof enclosure and
is supplied with ancillary equipment (i.e. radio, antenna, mast, solar panels
and batteries).

 UV-249x02 – the Line Break Valve (LBV) is a self-contained,

hydraulically actuated, stainless steel, ball valve that is line size and has a
full port ball. The valve has a single metal seat and is designed for high
pressure CO2 service. The speed of closure for the LBVs shall be set at 30
seconds (from the full open position to the full closed position). Limiting
the speed at which the valves close will limit the momentum of the CO2
flow to minimize the transient pressure surge.

A LBV shutdown is initiated from the RTU for either a local shutdown
action or a remote signal (via SCADA) from Scotford. To open the valve
(for an initial start-up or after a shutdown), all shutdowns need to be
cleared or bypassed and then a local manual reset by operations is
required, an automatic reset function is not available. Position switches on
the valve (ZSC/ZSO-702x02) provide status of valve position to the RTU.

 PIT-249x01– a pressure transmitter installed to monitor the pressure

upstream of the LBV. This measurement is an integral part to the leak
detection system and detection of any abnormal line conditions could
indicate a leak due to the failure of the pipeline. The leak detection logic
will then initiate a shutdown of the pipeline. The measurement is also used
as a process variable for PID control (PIC-249x01) provides upstream
pressure control for venting or when pressurizing the downstream piping.
The measurement is recorded, transmitted, and is used to initiate alarms
and a low pressure shutdown.

 PIT-249x03– a pressure transmitter installed to monitor the pressure

downstream of the LBV. This measurement is an integral part to the leak
detection system and detection of any abnormal line conditions could
indicate a leak due to the failure of the pipeline. The leak detection logic
will then initiate a shutdown of the pipeline. The measurement is also used
as a process variable for PID control (PIC-249x03) provides downstream
pressure control for venting or when pressurizing the downstream piping.
The measurement is recorded, transmitted, and is used to initiate alarms
and a low pressure shutdown.

 PV-249x04 – this pressure control valve has two functions. One function
is used to pressurize the pipeline downstream of the LBV if that section
has been out of service and is depressurized. The second function of this
valve is to regulate the flow of CO2 to the vent stack. The low select (PX-
249x04) has three (3) inputs (2 pressure controller outputs and 1 manual
setpoint) and the output from the low select controls the valve position.

3.4.1 LBV Control and Shutdown Functionality

Each LBV site has two pressure transmitters to monitor process variables within
the site piping. The transmitters provide two functions for the site 1) a process
variable for a PID controller and 2) process variable for line break logic, alarming
and shutdown.

3.4.1.1 Control Functions

Each of the LBV packages can be used to vent the pipeline CO2 from either side
of the LBV to the atmosphere. When a trip of the LBV occurs, operations have
the ability to vent the pipeline pressure (from either the upstream or downstream
sections). The manual vent valves will be set in the correct positions (as per the
operations guideline). A pressure control valve (PV-249x04) is then manually
opened with the RTU manual controller (HC-249x04). The setpoint will be sent
from the DCS to the RTU via the SCADA network. The valve will throttle the
flow of the CO2 through vent to the atmosphere. The close position switch on the
LBV is interlocked and is required to indicate the LBV is closed before the

Control Narrative

It is recommended that the venting of the CO2 will be done under constant
supervision of Shell operations. A number of factors impact the venting
procedure, wind direction must be confirmed so that the CO2 plume does not
travel towards a nearby residence or towards any livestock. It is also anticipated
that the venting will generate a high noise level (similar to a jet engine). Further
study is required to mitigate the noise impact.

3.5 CO2 Metering (Capture Facility and Well Sites)

The CO2 produced and captured at Scotford is transported to the storage wells
located north of the Facility. This process is measured with the custody transfer
coriolis mass flow meter (FIT-247004) prior to entering the pipeline. The coriolis
meter provides the mass flow (kg/hr) of the CO2 to calculate a totalized flow
(FQI-247004) and the mass balance. In addition, the flow meter data is sent to the
master pipeline PLC for monitoring the flow of the CO2 leaving Scotford and
compares it to the flows of each of the storage wells. The individual flow values
provide data for the mass balance calculation for the pipeline.

Metering locations are shown per Table 3.3-1.

Each well site shall have a coriolis mass flow meter measuring the flow rate
(kg/hr) of the CO2 that is being injected into the well reservoir. This meter is
connected to the local RTU and provides the process variable for wellhead CO2
flow control (FIC-702x04) and provides the process data that is transmitted back
to the master PLC (at Scotford) to provided part of the mass balance calculation.

The CO2 pipeline depressurization philosophy is to provide venting of the

pipeline utilizing a vent at the Scotford facility. The vented CO2 is not measured.

3.6 SCADA PLC and CO2 Facility Interface

The well site and LBV sites have local control RTUs that will communicate the
site data back to Scotford via radio on the new pipeline SCADA network. When
there is a requirement to transfer data between sites, the master PLC will poll the
sites for data, read and process the data and then write data to the corresponding
adjacent site. Also, the master PLC provides an Ethernet link and hardwired I/O
for interface with other units (i.e. control and shutdown of the CO2 compressor,
etc.) located at Scotford facility. Any shutdowns initiated by the pipeline
equipment will be hardwired from I/O in the master PLC (located in the
compressor MCC) to the Foxboro I/A.

An accurate measurement of the moisture content in the CO2 process, located in

the carbon capture facility at Scotford, is extremely important. This data is passed
to the pipeline control system because the CO2, with high moisture content, will
increase corrosion rates within carbon steel pipelines, so an accurate measurement
will provide assurances that accelerated corrosion to the pipeline is prevented.
The moisture analyzer (AIT-247001) is connected to the Scotford control system
and provides continuous monitoring (AI-247001) of the process water content. A
high moisture alarm (AAH-247001) is generated from this measurement. At
present, there is no shutdown (AAHH-247001) action planned for a high moisture
measurement in the CO2.

Control and shutdown for the pipeline equipment located at the inlet to the
pipeline will be handled by the master PLC (located in the TBD). It is planned to
have any equipment (i.e. CO2 compressor, etc.), which is supplied by other, to be
hardwired to this system for control and shutdown if there is an impact to the
pipeline. Communication to Scotford facility will be by a fibre optic Ethernet link
between the master control PLC and the Foxboro DCS.

Note: The final design for the interface of pipeline signals to the compressor logic
will be developed during the Detailed Design phase of the project

4. Control System Commissioning

Each of the facilities will be unmanned and will require a reliable communication
link to Scotford. This communication will be through a radio link developed in
this project. The new SCADA network will incorporate the wellsites (5), the LBV
sites (7) on the pipeline and pipeline equipment located within the Scotford
battery limits. This interface will allow operations to collect real-time data from
each site. This interface shall provide operations the following information:

 Monitor individual LBV sites and injection well sites for process data
values, equipment statuses and alarm conditions

 Provide control and shutdown capabilities of individual facilities or a

shutdown of entire pipeline and well sites

The process instrumentation and control schemes are defined on the P&IDs, with
additional information from the Instrument Index, I/O Schematics and Shutdown
Key. These documents shall be used by the Contractor in the development of the
RTU programming. Any changes/modification that deviates from the original
design will be red-lined on the effected document.

The site specific Instrument Index shall be used to aid in clarifying the scope and
shall be used by Shell and the I&E Contractor for a complete instrument listing
and to allow a cross reference of all instrument end devices with ranges and
setpoints. This information will assist in determining which SCADA values will
need to be transmitted.
