3 PROJECT DESCRIPTION & SCOPE OF WORK

CLIENT is installing gas compression facilities at Haradh & Hawiyah Saudi Arabia
under the Southern Area Energy Efficiency Program comprised of BI-10-01996 (Field
Gas Compression-Haradh) and BI-10-02029 (Field Gas Compression-Hawiyah).
The purpose of the gas compression facilities is to increase production by reducing
the wellheads backpressure from above 600 psig to about 300 psig. The Haradh
field wellheads pressure of 300 psig will be boosted to the inlet design feed
pressure of the Haradh Gas Plant (HDGP) at 500 psig and to Hawiyah Gas Plant
(HGP) at 575 psig in both summer and winter cases, by installing gas compression
facilities and the required piping to the existing gas gathering network.
Nine new Gas Compression Plants (GCPs), along with seven Liquid Separation
Stations (LSS’s) and other supporting infrastructure/facilities will be installed and
executed simultaneously under multiple contracts in the Haradh and Hawiyah Field,
as part of the Field Gas Compression Projects.

10.1 GENERAL
10.1.1 The type of abrasive to be used shall be determined by the degree of
cleanliness and surface profile requirements. Silica sand as abrasive
material is prohibited in Client.
10.1.2 When required, solvent cleaning shall be carried out in accordance with
SSPC-SP1. Do not use kerosene, diesel or other degreasers that leave an
oily film unless the surface is subsequently cleaned with a non-greasy
solvent or cleaner.
10.1.3 The reference standards for abrasive blasting shall be SIS 05-59-00 and
SSPC Vis 1.
10.1.4 The reference standard for profile measurement shall be the Clemtex
Anchor Pattern Standards. This does not preclude the use of other

10.1.5 Compressed air supply equipment, hoses and fittings shall be free of oil,
moisture and contamination. The inspector shall check and approve the air
quality at the start and mid-point of each 8-hour period. This shall be
conducted and determined as follows:
Attach a piece of blotter paper to a clip board, then hold it approximately
45 – 60 cm in front of the blast nozzle during air flow only, with a nozzle
pressure of 388 kPa (50 psig) for approximately one minute. The
satisfactory results shall be no water or oil contamination on the blotter
paper, and therefore operation is allowed to start or continue. In case of
unsatisfactory results, i.e., contaminants are evident the equipment
deficiencies shall be corrected and air stream shall be tested.
The blast system shall be operated for at least 5 minutes under actual
field conditions at the specified pressures prior to making the blotter test.
A properly sized dehumidifier can be connected downstream of the
compressor during periods of high relative humidity to improve moisture
removal from the air stream.
10.1.6 The operational remote control valve (Dead-man) shall be securely
attached to the nozzle. Minimum nozzle pressure acceptable for blasting
steel shall be 620 kPa (90 psig) measured at the nozzle side.
10.1.7 High intensity floodlight or spotlights shall be installed in vessels for
inspection purposes.
10.1.8 Sufficient dust suction blowers (exhaust fans) shall be fitted adequately to
remove dust and fine blasting debris during the blasting operation.

The Coating Schedule, Appendix A of this specification, defines the criteria to be used
in selecting the proper coating system for particular items. The Coating Schedule
divides items requiring coating into five (5) broad categories. Typical examples of the
items included in each of these broad categories are given. These examples are not to
be considered in all inclusive. The Coating Schedule further subdivides each of these
broad categories by the item’s intended service and operating temperature. For a
particular item, under a particular set of service conditions, the Coating Schedule
defines the APCS to be used.
The APCS are detailed in Section 8.0 of this specification. A description sheet is
included for each APCS referred to in the Coating Schedule. These description sheets
define the surface preparation, number of coats, sequence of coats, dry film
thicknesses, and approved coating products.
The APCS detailed in Section 8.0 are indicated in Appendix A as prescribed by SAES-H-
001, SAES-H-002 and SAES-H-003 by letters number, e.g. APCS-10.

18 PARTICULAR QUALITY REQUIREMENTS
