1. INTRODUCTION

1.1. GENERAL

PC North Madura II Ltd. (COMPANY) plans to develop Hidayah Oil Field under Phase-1. The field is
located around 7 km north of Madura Island in Sampang Regency, East Java Sea, Indonesia at the
water depth around 23 m–25 m.

The field development plan consists of a new Integrated Wellhead Central Processing Platform
(WHCPP), Pipeline End Terminal (PLET), and lease of spread moored Floating Storage and Offloading
(FSO).
HDYH-CPP shall serve as hub facilities where separation and stabilization of crude oil will take place.
The stabilized crude oil is then transferred to FSO via a 6” x 1 km (approx.) rigid pipeline. FSO will
be utilized as storage, offloading facilities, and crew accommodation including remote monitoring
and control of HDYH-CPP.

The overall development concept of Hidayah Field Development Project Phase-1 comprises of the
followings:

1. Integrated WHCPP (HDYH-CPP).

2. Lease of spread moored FSO for serving as storage, offloading facilities, and crew
accommodation including remote monitoring and control for HDYH-CPP.
3. 6” x 1 km (approximately) crude oil pipeline connecting HDYH-CPP and FSO through PLET.

The location map, development concept, and facilities layout of Hidayah field Development Project
are illustrated in Figure 1.1.

PLATFORM (WHCPP), SUBSEA PIPELINE, AND PIPELINE END TERMINAL Page : Page 9 of 31
(PLET) FOR HIDAYAH FIELD PHASE 1 DEVELOPMENT PROJECT

The new HDYH-CPP is designed as Normally Unattended Facilities (NUF), supported by six-legged
jacket with four (4) slots of conductors protected in the internal perimeter. Full Well Stream (FWS)
from wells will be separated at the HDYH-CPP where crude oil will be exported via a new 1 km x 6”
rigid pipeline, PLET, and flexible pipeline-riser configuration to nearby Floating Storage & Offloading
(FSO) facility.
The HDYH-CPP will also have an Electrical Submersible Pumps (ESP) installed at all wells to increase
oil flowrates from the wells. The ESP surface equipment will be installed and operated at the top
side.

Separately, associated gas will be sent to Vapor Recovery Unit (VRU) and treated further in fuel gas
conditioning unit to be used as fuel gas for HDYH-CPP, especially for power generation via Gas
Turbine Generator (GTG). There will be no living quarters at the HDYH-CPP. All operation personnel
will be stationed at the FSO where a remote Centralized Control Room (CCR) will be installed at the
FSO.
The HDYH-CPP is designed for jack-up drilling rig and meet SIPROD mode requirement. There will
be no helideck, but boat landings with swing ropes will be provided for personnel transfer. The
design life for Hidayah facilities is 20 years. Figure 1.2 shows the overview of Hidayah Field
development concept:

1.2. OBJECTIVE

The objective of this document is to define minimum requirements for the design, fabrication,
manufacture, inspection and testing, coating, packaging, preservation, and shipment of pipeline
bends for 6” rigid oil pipeline from Hidayah WHCPP to Pipeline End Termination (PLET) as part of
Provision of EPCIC of Integrated WHCPP, Subsea Pipeline, and PLET for Hidayah Field Phase 1
Development Project.
CONTRACTOR shall obtain COMPANY’s written approval for any deviations from the requirements
of this document or specifications, standards, and drawings referenced herein or elsewhere in the
contract.

5. PIPE BENDS MATERIAL SPECIFICATION

5.1. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

5.1.1. General

Bends shall be produced from line pipe manufactured in accordance with COMPANY’s specification
for line pipe in Ref. [C5]. Mother pipes supplied for 5D bends shall be manufactured in accordance
with:

1. PTS 15.10.17.
2. PBTR 4.0.

3. ISO 15590-1.

4. API Specification 5L.

The wall thickness of the mother pipe shall have adequate allowance for wall thinning at the
extrados due to induction bending. The final wall thickness at any location on the finished bend
shall not be less than the specified minimum wall thickness as per design. Wall thickness
measurement shall be taken in accordance with PTS 15.10.17.

Each production bend shall be tested with a gauging plate pulled through the bend in such a way
as to maintain the plate perpendicular to the pipe longitudinal axis at all times. The plate diameter
shall be 95% of the nominal inside diameter.

Only dedicated positive tolerance mother pipes shall be used for the manufacturing of 5D bends in
accordance to Section 10.6 of PTS 15.10.17.

The finished bends, after any stress relief, shall meet the same mechanical properties as that of
the original pipe supplied for bending.

Bends shall not contain any girth welds.

Care shall be taken during forming to ensure that the cross-section of the pipe is preserved within
the limitations imposed by the applicable code.
The wall thickness at bend neutral axis and on the extrados (outer radius) of the bend shall be no
less than the mating pipe design thickness or specified minimum required wall thickness. The
MANUFACTURER shall provide estimated wall thinning percentage ovalization and inside diameter
reduction for each bend size, wall thickness, and grade combination with tender.

The pipe bends shall have a minimum bend radius (R) equal to five (5) times the nominal diameter
(D) of the pipe (R = 5D) for riser base, expansion spool, and pipeline. The bend radius of topside
riser and pipeline shall be minimum 3D. The 3D bends will be applied if there is topside space
restriction with COMPANY’s approval.

All finished bends shall have end tangents on both ends 500 mm or length whichever is
greater.

MANUFACTURER shall at all times maintain awareness of the legislation and regulations concerning
