1. INTRODUCTION
Information Management (IM) is one of the key requirements of Engineering and Operations
CoP (CP-117 and CP-115) within the Opportunity Realization CoP (CP-223). Within the
framework, project design deliverables need to be generated, reviewed and approved before
they are translated into physical assets that can be procured, constructed, commissioned
and operated.
Poor management of information has resulted in missed opportunities, higher costs, process
safety issues and even litigation. Engineering and Operations functions have adopted a
common framework for Information Management practice for PDO and their contractors that
ensure documents/drawings generated are delivered in a format compatible with PDO
systems. This document specifies the standard for document management in Engineering
and Operations, which shall be used in conjunction with PR-1666: Document, Drawing and
Data Control Procedure.
1.1. Purpose
The purpose of this specification is to define requirements for document management that
would support creation of documents suitable for use to support operations. These
requirements comprise:
Documents requirement planning
Document numbering taxonomy
Document development, issue, review, approval and update
Control hardcopy requirements
Document templates, exchange and tools
Document exchange process refers to the flow of documents within the project team, as well
as between the project team and external parties.
1.2. Scope
This document specifies the document management standard to be implemented in
engineering projects, which would deliver quality information deliverables for Operations. It
covers the general strategy for document management, vendor requirement, review and
exchange method, and numbering taxonomy. It defines the relationships, roles and
responsibilities of project team members, IM team, contractors and vendors during the
implementation.
1.3. Distribution / Target Audience
This document shall be used by PDO project delivery teams comprising of a project
manager, project engineers, technical discipline engineers and designers, operations and
project services personnel, as well as external project delivery partners: vendors, suppliers,
consultants and contractors.

2. DOCUMENT MANAGEMENT
2.1. General Requirements
Follow PR-1666: Document, Drawing and Data Management Procedure for document
reviews and approval process
Documents not yet issued should be kept in team work-in-progress work area (e.g.
livelink), while issued documents should be stored and controlled in a secured document
management system. Keeping work related files on the Desktop PC or any other storage
media outside dedicated work-in-progress team area is not allowed.
PDO TAs shall review revisions but only approve key milestone stages of a document
development e.g. AFD and AFC
Upon notification that a new member has joined the project team, IM on boarding shall be
conducted before granting access to Information Management system.
Project deliverables review/approval status report shall be issued by the project IM team
periodically to show performance of project IM KPIs
IM resource shall be in place to support project document management from Select
Phase.
PDO’s standard drawing symbol and digitizing menus shall be employed, as well as data
files for existing drawings which will be provided to assist the consultant/contractor during
detailed design, refer to SP-2099 for details.
The custodian of IM deliverables during project is the project manager. During operation,
the custodian of electronic master information from project is UOI2 (AIC) but the owner is
the Asset Operation Manager (CP-115).
The selected milestone dates shall be as contained in the project planning system (e.g.
Primavera), and be determined as part of project initiation and applied to develop project
DDR (for design deliverables) and VDDR (for vendor deliverables).
2.3.1. Existing Document Dependency
Where project scope includes modification of existing Asset documents, the project team
shall follow the Dependency Matrix requirements contained in SP-1131 and evaluate the
impact of the modification on the dependant deliverables.
The dependant documents shall be included by default in the project information delivery
scope of DDR and be verified/updated as part of project. Just like any existing document
identified by the contractor for modification in project, these documents shall be obtained for
reference during project and verified for impact by designated doctype design engineer.
Where project scope “impacted” any of the dependant documents it shall be checked out/in
from AIC for final update. In a “no impact” situation, the doctype discipline engineer shall
update the DDR indicating that the documents were “Verified for project scope, no impact”.
This is a key information deliverables handover assurance requirement that could impact
project closeout.
2.4. Design Document Planning
Design document planning requires each discipline to define a set of document deliverables
against each work package defined in the project planning system (e.g. Primavera). These
identified documents shall be used to create the document deliverables register (DDR).
2.4.1. Document Deliverables Register (DDR)
The DDR contains listing of information deliverables doctypes selected from PLIP, with their
tentative milestone delivery plan; click here for DDR project template. As part of project
initiation the contractor discipline engineer shall agree discipline scope with project team and
identify DDR doctypes from PLIP to become the high-level discipline DDR. The contractor
shall collate DDR discipline scope into one master DDR and issue to IM Lead and discipline
engineered for review/approval In line with DDM. The actual documents are generated
against doctype, added as new record in the DDR and shared with project team periodically:
Information development milestones defined and applied in the DDR shall be assigned a
planned start date and a planned end date (according to data from the planning system), and
shall be loaded into the project document control system with status “PLN”. The milestone
planned date for a doctype like PEFS shall be obtained from the planner and be applied for
all PEFS generated in the project unless advised differently.
The documents maturation progress can be measured as a percentage at each new
milestone attained. Contractor shall submit to PDO every two weeks the DDR progress

report indicating Contractor’s forecast dates of issue for review/approval of all relevant
documents/drawings.
2.4.2. Document Distribution Matrix
The DDM is a PDO business process for internal project document distribution which shall be
concluded as part of project initiation using template of appendix 12. It shall be applied each
time a project document created by a contractor, requires PDO review input and/or approval.
The PLIP contains default document distribution which shall be referred by the project team
to produce the project specific DDM. The DCC team shall apply the project specific DDM in
distributing project documents and will not accept distribution request outside the DDM.
The contractor shall develop and formalize their document distribution, as part of project
initiation, and shall be a key reference document for assurance reviews and audits.

adopted for use by the contractors involved in procurement.
2.6. Document File Format
2.6.1.General Format
Each electronic file shall be self contained, i.e. will not require or call in any other project
delivered electronic files for viewing or updating other than agreed reference files. It is not
acceptable for non-standard (Korean or Cyrillic) character set to be required to be installed
on user machine to allow the file to be used. All project documents shall be produced in
compliance with ISO standard A1, A3, and A4 sizes.
Where hardcopy submission forms part of the deliverable in the Project, the issue, review,
approval and “Control Hardcopy” requirement is the same as specified in this document but
the following requirement shall also be met as a minimum:
Hard copy prints to be submitted in collated sets.
Hard copies shall be submitted in a clearly legible paper format.
Documents shall be scanned at their original size directly from the original hard copy.
Images shall be scanned in an orientation that allows viewing without rotation.
Paper copies submitted in a size over A3 should be fan folded such that the title block will
be visible and allows easy insertion into plastic wallets.
A4 documents to be stapled or bound dependent on size.
Standard number of copies to be submitted for review should be agreed with project
team.
Unless specifically requested by project team to deliver native file for review, and when
review cannot be effectively performed electronically in pdf format, external party shall submit
review files in pdf (made from the rendition of native file). However the following document
types shall always be submitted in native format at all revision: all schedules, ASCI files and
all business process data files (registers, EDS seed files etc).
Where dates are held in databases the format shall be DD-MM-YYYY e.g. 05-10-2010 while
dates used on correspondence, etc shall be e.g. 12 December 2007.
2.6.2. Sets and Sizes of Files

The contractor handover will not be accepted by PDO and they will be required to check-out
the master again. Contractor can obtain approval from the Project IM Lead to extend check-
out timeline for some deliverables that could not be delivered within the standard timeline.
2.19. Correspondence Numbering and Control
Formal Correspondence relates to any communication medium containing project
management communication or business information that may be retained for project close-
out, legal, operational, fiscal or other critical business purposes. It is the intention that formal
correspondence shall be managed through PROCON Contract Management System but
where official dispensation has been obtained for PROCON not to be used on a project, and
then each correspondence will be produced containing the following minimum attribute:
o Unique number (showing sender/receiver) in the upper left corner
o the author of the correspondence
o recipients
o if reply is expected and expected reply date
o email address of the originating party
o Maintain Project Correspondence Control Registers, (Incoming / Outgoing)
o Signed original shall be delivered via surface mail to the current address of project
DCC (to be advised separately)
o Maintain hardcopy master files of all correspondence received (clearly stamped
with date-received).
o Expedite all indicated responses for correspondence received and issue

project team when designated. For a project to be executed in FEED Office, the authorized
project IM Plan shall show clearly the document review and approval strategy for project (if
FEED Office will review (IDC/IFR)/approve on behalf of project team or project team (IFR) by
themselves).
Internal document review cycle in FEED Office shall be completed as part of IDC. For
documents that require project team review/approval, the IDC shall be completed before the
document is circulated for review/approval. Where FEED Office is designated to review/
approve on behalf of the project team, IDC/IFR could be combined as part of revision 1.
2.20. Quality Management

Area Code: As defined in Corporate ERP System (SAP FLOC Level 5 Location code).
This code will be derived in line with SP-2152 section 2.3 and supplied by the Asset
Information Centre (AIC) via the “IM Kickoff Form”, see Appendix 2.
Process (system) Unit Code: As contained in SP-2152: Specification for Tagging and
FLOC Level 5 appendix II. For drawing/document cutting across the whole facility (e.g.
Overall Plot Plan, Operation HSE Case), or drawing of an area in which an equipment
was not installed, the code shall be “00”.
Originator Code: A 6-10 character code assigned to identify the party generating the
document in relation to the overall project. Every activity undertaken by a contractor or
vendor is governed by the provisions of the contract or purchase order (PO). The contract
and PO number allocated shall be used as originator code for “design” & “vendor” IM
deliverables respectively, to identify and relate a piece of equipment IM deliverable to a
particular project/asset. The code shall apply as follows:
Even when the same vendor is delivering service to more than one project, the PO
number assigned for each procurement activity would be different. During operation,
each piece of equipment would be associated to the project that delivered it (not
vendor) using the unique PO number.
When a vendor is engaged directly by PDO, to procure equipment and the equipment
would be allocated to a known ongoing project (e.g. in EMC project), the “originator
code” shall be the 6-10 character contract number of party receiving the equipment for
installation (allottee).
When a vendor is engaged directly by PDO, to procure equipment and the equipment
would be allocated to a not-yet-known project (e.g. in EMC project), the “originator
code” shall be the 6-10 character PO number issued by PDO to the vendor. As
defined in Corporate ERP System (SAP) for existing organizations/entities registered
as vendors (i.e. SAP vendor list).
When PDO engage an EPC or EP&C contractor, and the scope includes procurement
of one or more equipment, then the “originator code” for both the design and vendor
deliverables shall be the PDO contract number with the main Contractor. This code
shall be 6 character for design IM deliverables, and 6-10 character (the 6 character

For clarification, a sheet is a separate electronic file. Multiple pages could exist within a
single file (such as a line list) and should be noted as pages, not sheets. For the purpose
of project execution activities, dispensation may be applied for the use of document
grouping to facilitate effective document review and approval. However during final
submission, these grouped documents shall be split back to single sheet before delivery
to PDO.
3.2. Issue and Status Code
Review and approval of a project document is a very important aspect of delivering an
engineering project to the right quality. Typically an engineering project document will go
through several reviews and changes by multiple parties until it attains final approval status.
As such, a transparent and systematic method that indicates the status of the content of the
document at any point in time during the document flow is essential.
“Issue” codes (transmittal code) are those codes that are used to identify the purpose for
which a document is issued while “status” codes are used to identify the current state of the
document in the development chain. The following table illustrates how “status” codes are to
be applied in engineering projects:
sequence number, which shall be the ORIGINAL sequence number prefaced by 9, the new
number shall be formed by using the taxonomy in this specification. The Originator code is
“000000” and it is constant for all re-numbered document.

4. DOCUMENT EXCHANGE
The following sections defines requirement that ensures that all Engineering Project
documentation sent to PDO is received and returned via formal exchange channels and to
standard and formats that have been agreed between the Project and its contracting
partners. Failure to agree upon a standard approach for the receipt and return of deliverable
will lead to unnecessary delay and possible financial loss among all parties working on the
Project.
4.1. Collaboration Media
PDO maintain a sharing and collaboration area on Livelink extranet site for the purposes of
sending and receiving formally transmitted documentation with external parties. All
documents sent to the project team should be forwarded via this medium. A detailed folder
structure will be set up and agreed with each external party with required access permissions
in place.
Documents sent by the first party should be removed and stored in an appropriate location
once received by the other party. Documentation sent via any other communication medium
will not be accepted unless prior approval has been sought and granted by the project team.
4.2. Exchange of Documents
During the project, all exchange of documentation between PDO and external partner shall
be through the DCC. Internal documents issued within project team shall be under the cover
of an ASSAI internal transmittal. Internal document distribution shall be according to the
distribution matrix. Originator or responsible engineer shall issue an email to DCC requesting
a document to be issued. External documents issued to or from the project team for the
purposes of review, approval or information should be placed on the FTP or Livelink extranet
site under the cover of a transmittal. An E-mail notification should be sent to relevant DCC
personnel notifying them about the placement.
4.2.1. Document Transmittal
Both internal and external transmittals shall contain the following information as a minimum:
Unique Transmittal Number
