3. INTRODUCTION

The NC-186 18” Trunkline connecting D, B J, and H production fields has been
returned to operation in June 2017 after a shut down for about of two years. Pipeline
damage and oil leaks due to internal corrosion was established along the enterally

5. SCOPE OF WORK

The Mechanical and Piping works shall include, but not limited to, the procurement
and installation of all required materials/equipment. (Except for the purchase and
delivery of the OFE equipment), hook up, nondestructive and hydro-testing, cleaning,
painting/coating of all pipe work. MTO shall be prepared & finalized by the contractor.

5.1. Strategy for Pipeline Replacement to Minimize the Operation Time of

the Existing Pipeline Between GS-D and GS-B. Figure 1

The plan consists of minimizing the time of operation of the existing pipeline
between GS-D and GS-B because this section is in bad shape by activating the
new section once the pipes have been laid down.

a. Install the pipeline between GS-D and GS-B parallel to the existing one.

b. Shut down production in GS-D.

c. Clean this section of the pipeline by launching a pig powered with treated
water.

d. Once the pig has passed GS-B, block the old pipeline section between GS-D
and GS-B. The pig will continues traveling to GOSP A being push with the oil
production of GS-B.

e. Hookup the new section with the existing facilities at both ends (GS-D and
GS-B).

f. Commission the new section by opening production in GS-D.

g. Install the pipeline between GS-B and GOSP A parallel to the existing one.

h. Shut down production in GS-D, GS-B and GS-H North. The production coming
from J&K fields is flowing by the 12” pipeline between GS-J3 and GOSP-A.

i. Clean the full pipeline between GS-D and GOSP A by launching a pig
powered with treated water from GS-D.

j. Hookup the new sections with the existing facilities at GS-B, GS-H North and
GOSP A.

k. Commission the new pipeline sections by opening production in GS-D, GS-B

and GS-H North.

cathodic protection systems to be used to protect buried pipelines.

Each new spool needs to be insulated at the ends of the rest of the pipework at
site. The AOO specification 02/54/040 covers Insulating Joints and Unprotected
Ends (Section 8.6). All gasket kit materials must be consistent with the NACE
Standard Recommended Practice RP0286-2002 and with characteristics equal
or higher than Pikotec VCS (dielectric strength more than 500 VPM, low water
absorption less than 0.085%, high compressive strength ~450 Nmm-2 and
operating temperature higher than 140° C) for both crude oil and also water
services and shall be submitted to Akakus’ Corrosion Division for approval (Line
Backer has already been approved).

Cathodic protection of existing 18” trunkline from D-field to GOSP A NC-186 is

realized through one impressed current transformer rectifier at GOSP A, rated at
48 A and 48 V, and one grounded 125 m depth with 48 A design capacity. A
resistor current control box has connection to NJB 1 – Connected to existing 18”
Trunk Line (31 km) to ‘D’ field, bonded via resistor. At this stage, the cathodic

18
 protection of each new spool will be realized through the above-mentioned
transformer rectifier at GOSP A and grounded using cathodic bond boxes with
variable resistors between existing 18” Trunk and new sections.

In case of any crossing with existing pipelines refer to AOO Specification

02/54/040 “Specification for cathodic protection of pipelines” and drawing
02/54/P/009. Each crossing point must be provided with crossing resistor box.
The detailed layout, construction procedure and equipment (boxes, cables) must
be submitted to AOO Corrosion Division for approval.

Monitoring Test Stations is defined in the AOO specification 02/54/040 (Section

8.5).

Cable-to-Pipe Connection is part of the AOO specification 02/54/040 (Section

8.8).
Since the distance between the new and old (abandoned) trunkline will not be
less than 2 m, Contractor shall consider and prevent any impact of interference
on the cathodic protection of a new line.
It will be mandatory that installation of main equipment and final commissioning
of the system shall be carried out under supervision of NACE certified engineer.

5.6. Above Ground Painting

Aboveground piping sections painting requirements are defined in AOO

02/54/001 rev. F, General Specification for Surface Preparation, Painting and
Galvanizing. Material, system, and procedure will be submitted to Akakus Oil
Operation (AOO) for approval.

5.7. Field Joints Wrapping

Field joints will be wrapped according to AOO Specification AOO 02/54/017:

Specification for factory applied external, three-layer extruded polyethylene
coating and field joint coating for buried steel pipeline, Section 11 - Field Joint
coating, and 11.2 - Factory coated pipe; Material and procedure will be submitted
to Akakus Oil Operation (AOO) for approval.

5.8. Access Fittings and Sampling Points for Corrosion Monitoring on

the Pipeline Route

Access fittings for corrosion coupons and sampling points to be provided in the
pig launching and received station as highlighting (green) in the below P&I
diagrams.

• Pig launcher at D field, NC-186, P&ID diagram 20/57/D/004, rev-05

• Pig receiver at NC-186, GOSP A, P&ID diagram 20/57/D/007, rev-08

19
6. OPERATIONS

An operational procedure should be developed by the Contractor with the support of

AOO Production Operations for the abandon of the former 18” pipeline to be replaced,
and for connecting the new pipeline with the current facilities minimizing the production
deferment during these works accordingly with sections 5.1 and 5.3.
