ICM

The Khafji Joint Operations (KJO, herein referred to as COMPANY) is located in the Arabian
Gulf and jointly owned by ARAMCO Gulf Operation Company (AGOC) and Kuwait Gulf Oil
Company (KGOC). The project relates to the Ex-Loading Station which is a set of platforms,
ISSUED FOR REVIEW AND COMMENTS

namely Dolphin-A platform, Dolphin B platform and Ex-Loading Dock platform which are
located approximately 5 km offshore to the east of Al-Khafji, KSA. Valve Control Platform
(VCP) is located further approximately 5 km offshore from Dolphin-A platform, and Sea
DESCRIPTION

Berths 1 & 2 are located 1 km offshore from Dolphin-A platform.

The project involves conducting Re-FEED for a pipeline concept which involves replacement
of diesel pipeline to Dolphin-A and the Sea Berths, and a new electrical cable from Dolphin-
A to VCP. The work is also to revalidate the existing FEED packages to ensure that the new
FEED package includes all of the new scope and compliance to latest Saudi Aramco
Standards.
Kent Engineers & Constructors Inc. herein referred to as CONTRACTOR, has been awarded
the Re-FEED package i.e. the new Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) for Relocation of
