For this issue of Automation Insight! I want to give the magazine a bit of a personal touch by announcing the launch of the DMS Foundation. I wanted DMS to start a CSR program so just over a year ago I went to Bangladesh to sponsor The Choice To Change Change (C2C) Iftar during Ramadan in July 2013. I had such an amazing time with the children it inspired me to start a foundation to support under privileged children with education to give them a better opportunity in life. The DMS Foundation is there to inspire our employees and our business partners. Every issue we will provide an update on our activities and it gives me great pleasure in this issue to introduce our vision.

I would also like to take the opportunity to thank the ISA Saudi Arabia Chapter for their support as we also donated from the profits of the ISA EMEA Conference & Exhibition hosted by Saudi Aramco last year to get School Uniforms for all the children at C2C as well the Qatif Autism Centre in Saudi Arabia.

Anyone can get involved in the DMS Foundation so if you are interested to learn more please contact me directly on mloch@dmsglobal.net or my cell no. +971 50 3123510.

Dear DMS-Members, We see this edition released in time for ADIPEC, which for the first time is taking place one year after the last ADIPEC and I am left wondering how the price of oil will affect this strategy. One thing is for sure that, at 80-something US Dollar per barrel, the end-user will be concerned about costs. The pressure to drive down costs usually leads to technological innovations but in our industry, users are nervous to adopt new technology.

This is understandable due to the costs related to failure but we should not let this prevent us from promoting and developing new technologies. Maybe the price of oil will be our ally.

Analytic REPORT

Um Shaif Oil Network Expansion Phase 2 The Abu Dhabi Marine Operating Company (ADMA-OPCO) is considered the major offshore producer of oil and gas from of Abu Dhabi, The United Arab Emirates.The company is considered a pioneer of the petroleum companies in the region, with over 50 years of presence in the oil and gas sector. ADMA OPCO operates several major oil fields of the country, including Umm Shaif, Lower Zakum field, Das Island, and a network of modern telecoms and pipelines that have been designed and installed with purpose of linking ADMA OPCO’s main oil sites in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi and these include Umm Shaif field, Zakum field, Das, and Musaffah Supply Base.

Umm ShaifOil Network is considered one of the two major fields operated by ADMAOPCO, alongside the importantZakum field. The operations within these two fields are focused on production of oil and gas, as well as the transferring of the crude through the pipeline network to Das Island. At Das Island, the processing, storing and exporting is eventually carried out.

Due to insufficiency of the current Umm Shaif infield oil gathering network, ADMA OPCOhad announced plans to remove the current hydraulic constrains of the oil gathering network through an implementation of anexpansion scheme.

Through the application of such development, the project owner aims to maintain Umm Shaif ‘s average production of 275 MB. 4 | Automation INSIGHT! | JANUARY 2015

Located 150 kilometers from the city of Abu Dhabi, and 36 kilometers from Das Island, theUmm Al Shaif filed development travels back to 1958, when the first well was drilled. The oil and gas production is processed at the Umm Shaif Super Complex. Within the complex, crude oil is collected and transported to Das Island through a pipeline network.

In order to carry out the expansion plans of the oil field, the projects scope of works incorporates activities, which are revolving around the installation of fiveextra infield pipelines, three extra radials and a riser platform bridge. Furthermore, the scope of work also involves a manifold platform to be built and removal of 9 redundant lines to be implemented, as well as related subsea tie ins to be applied. The implementation of the 9 extra wellhead towers will also be carried out, and a80 km subsea cable in two rings will be appointed. Moreover, the J-tube installation and splitter boxes at 27 wellhead towers will be applied within the expansion scheme.

The project also touches upon brownfield related works, specifically related to modifications at the existing Umm Shaif Super Complex .

While Worley Parsons was completing the front end engineering design (FEED), Atkins has also been appointed to carry out assessment works for the expansion project and these include quantitative structural assessment of the31 well head towers, which will establish a robust integrity management system for the company’s fleet of offshore structures, building SACS (Structural Analysis Computer System) models to enable detailed analysis.

Advanced Structural Analysis of Barge-Type Structure will also be implemented, which form the central platforms of ADMA OPCO’s offshore processing facilities.

Lately, Emaar Properties revealed that revenue in the real estate market has dropped 16% in the second half of 2014, compared to the same period last year. This has prompted a reconsideration of

ANALYTIC potential prospects as the Gulf State enters 2015.

The enthusiasm that was expected to engulf 2014 has been dampened. The expectation now is that the market will have a positive trajectory over the long term, but will have peaks and troughs along the way that will require a more cautious approach when it comes to new projects.

UAE’s non-oil GDP is forecasted to grow by 5.9 per cent in 2015 as the Expo 2020 will further increase the pace of consumption and investment in Dubai and surrounding areas. According to

market analysts within DMS Global, a high global oil production and resilient supply prospects will enable growth in the UAE as the hydrocarbon economy will temper in the future. Moreover, an increase of infrastructure investments combined with a progression in the private sector will ease the dependency on oil. In particular, it is believed that the construction and hospitality sectors will benefit from the Expo, with an influx of tourists and businessmen not only in Dubai, but also in Abu Dhabi and Sharjah. Therefore, moderate prices, low interest rates, and the arbitration on behalf of the Expo 2020 organization are the key elements for the increase in consumption and foreign investment.

The IPIC Fujairah Refinery The International Petroleum Investment Company (IPIC) is developing a refinery complex in the Emirate of Fujairah, close to ADCOP pipeline and oil terminal and the port’s deepwater oil export terminals. The refinery will process a mixture of UAE crudes and will have a processing capacity of 200,000 barrels per day.

Initially, IPIC and ConocoPhillips have signed a Heads of Agreement to build the new refinery development, which consists of a split of works in form of different engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) packages, the EPC package 1 and 2. Within the EPC Package 1, IPIC and ConocoPhillips plan to focus efforts on Works revolving around the process units, while the EPC Package 2 considers works revolving around the utilities, offsites and infrastructure works.

While the front end engineering design (FEED) has been carried out by France’s Technip, the project management consultancy services contract developed with an aim to look over the project has been appointed by the company’s acquisition, Shaw Stone and Webster.

With contractors expecting the award of the engineering procurement and construction contract to be awarded in the last part of 2015, the commercial proposals for process units and the offsites and utilities have been submitted earlier this year and assessing is taking place. Following on from there, the technical evaluations for both EPC 1, as well as EPC 2 have been carried out and completed, and at the same time the commercial evaluations have been conducted. Finally the project isyet to receive approvals before the contract award can be allocated.

With the project being split between a number of large packges, and intensive scope of works and services has been implemented.

The project owners have planned to develop and construct a new 500,000 b/d (reduced to 200,000 b/d) refinery at the entrance to the Strait of Hormuz in Fujairah. The expected feedstock will be supplied from Abu Dhabi’s Upper Zakum Field through a 350-kilometer main oil line pipeline that is funded by IPIC. The project will involve the installation of naphtha hydrotreaters and splitters, twin catalytic reformers, isomerisation units, distillate hydrotreaters, vacuum distillation units, hydrocrackers, fluid catalytic crackers (FCCs).

The construction of the process units which will be required for the project to function require administration, laboratory and other buildings to be constructed. Furthermore, alkylation units will be implemented, as well as, amine treating/regeneration unit, associated facilities, associated Utilities and offsites, catalytic Reformers, condensate distillation unit, crude unit, diesel merox unit, distillate hydrotreaters, electrical supply to main substation, fluid catalytic cracker, hydrocrackers. Furthermore construction of a hydrogen plant is required as well as hydrotreater for residue steams, hydrotreaters for diesel, kerosene, naphtha, isomerisation units and kerosene merox unit.

In terms of naptha, required scope of works revolve around JANUARY 2015 | Automation INSIGHT! | 5

ANALYTIC the implementation of naphtha hydrotreaters, naphtha merox units, naphtha splitters and stabilisers. Furthermore, a natural gas pipeline to overall plant battery plant will be installed as well as sulphur plants and incinerators.

At the moment the project is going through the stage of evaluating the bidding for the contract to carry out the engineering, procurement and construction works with various major contractors awaiting to hear the award announcement later on in the year.

ADCO - Bab Habshan 1 Field Development first phase completing Abu Dhabi Company for Onshore Oil Operations (ADCO) operates the Bab oil field which is located within the onshore area of Abu Dhabi, in the United Arab Emirates. Roughly located 150 kilometers to south west of the city of Abu Dhabi, Bab field’s area measure of an approximate 1, 200 square kilometers, makes the site the largest onshore field in the Emirate. Bab incorporates a number of reservoirscontaining variety of hydrocarbon accumulations, while other reservoirs solely contain oil or gas, while a considerable number of the reservoirs many are characterized by oil rims covered by large gas caps. Bab is therefore both and oil and gas field, which makes the site a highly important strategic focus for the United Arab Emirate’s future. Bab also operates and maintains gas wells for ADNOC where the gas is collected and transported through thetrunk lines to ADNOC Gas processing plant.

ADCO has been carrying out the development of the Bab Habshan-1 in Abu Dhabi with the purpose of to ensuring that the additional gas production meets the requirements for the increasing demand of the country.

The project involves production capacity of 1.8 BSCFD of gas a day ans therefore this project is a part of the additional 400 Mbd development building block and will deliver sustainable production for ADCO of 30 Mbd. The project consists of the full field development of the Habshan 1 located within the Bab field with scope which comprises engineering, procurement and construction for oil production wells, water injection wells with the associated oil gathering facilities. The project includes installation of the required water injection facilities along with all the required utilities and 33kV overhead power lines. It will also include modification at remote degassing 6 | Automation INSIGHT! | JANUARY 2015

stations 9 & 10 and an additional 20-inch transfer line from RDS-9 to the existing Bab Central Degassing Station.The field development consist of 41 oil producers and 40 water injection wells and it will consist of three compression stations with a production capacity of 1.8 BSCFD of gas a day.

The scope of work implemented throughout this development incorporates 15 oil producers with the associated gathering facilities, 15 water injection wells with the associated injection cluster facilities, oil gathering system, central processing plant, crude oil export pipeline to Asab CDS and a lean gas import pipeline from Asam GASCO. Furthermore, infrastructure, utilities and automation facilities have been implemented to carry out the project.

Throughout 2011, CH2M Hill Veco engineering has been carrying out the front end engineering works on the project, while Worley Parsons had the role of the project management consultant looking after the activities related to the development of the field.

Finally, Petrofac as the engineering, procurement and construction contractor has been carrying out the works on the project. There were several expected dates of completion, which have been pushing back several times due to various elements typically slowing down the completion of the projects within the oil and gas industry. Nonetheless, as per the latest updates, overall works are about to reach completion any moment.

Farabi’s Petrochemicals Plant moving forward After being on hold, local private project owner, Farabi Petrochemicals Company, has decided to push through with its Yanbu Petrochemicals Plant after re-evaluating options after the projects’ completion on it’s feasibility study. With recent changes in oil prices and the high risk being faced in the market, news of France’s Technip, being the front-runners for both Front-end Engineering and Design (FEED) as well as Project Management Consultancy (PMC) contracts, has given positive views on the scheme.

Farabi’sYanbu Petrochemicals Plant is a part of Kingdom owned Saudi Aramco’s initiative that seeks to integrate several of the Kingdom’s major oil refineries with new petrochemical schemes and as part of these plans, studies were underway into developing vast chemical complexes next to the Kingdom’s oil refineries. Saudi Basic Industries Corporation (SABIC) is also one of the major players who are part of this scheme.

In 2013, Farabi had awarded US’ Foster and Wheeler the contract to conduct the feasibility study and technology selection. The scope of work included developing an overall concept for the scheme and selection of two types of technology for the production of low aromatics solvent and the treatment of heavy fuel oil. Foster and Wheeler also formulated a cost estimate and the tender for the front-end engineering and design (feed) contract.

Technip won the deal ahead of the US’ KBR and the UK’s Amec Foster Wheeler and is likely to

sign the deal for the front-end engineering and design (feed) and the project management consultancy (PMC) contract by May 2015. The feed should approximately seven months to complete, which means engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) tenders would be released in early 2016.

The project originally covered the construction of a petrochemical plant within the Jizan Economic City (JEC), adjacent to state-owned Saudi Aramco’s $7billion dollar Jizan refinery that is currently under construction. However, Farabi has recently planned to move it to Yanbu after securing a land allocation at the Red Sea Industrial hub and is now in discussions for a feedstock allocation. There are several options for feedstock in Yanbu, including two 400,000 barrel-a-day (b/d) refineries owned in joint ventures by Aramco, Saudi Aramco Mobil Refinery Company and the Yanbu Aramco Sinopec Refining Company.

The project will produce linear aklyl benzenes from diesel feedstock, about 24 grades of surfactant allied business chemicals, including detergents, wetting agents, emulsifiers, foaming agents and dispersants. Farabialso currently operates a large-scale plant producing linear alkyl benzenes at Jubail in the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia and the new scheme will be a mirror of what they already produce – surfactant allied business chemicals – from the complex in Jubail.

The estimated overall budget of the project is $ 1 billion which will be a 100% investment by Farabi. Farabi’sdecision move ahead with the project in such uncertain times should to be applauded and proves the importance of looking at long-term benefits rather than short-term risks. It is also encouraging to see private local companies investing in the kingdom at time when oil prices are in the doldrums.

Riyadh will surely be hoping that Farabi taking the initiative will inspire other businesses to initiate similar projects.

Petro Rabigh Refinery & Petrochemical Complex monomer and other petrochemical products based on feedstock such as ethylene, propylene, benzene and natural gas liquids (NGL). The project also aims at increasing the gasoline production.

Once completed, Petro Rabigh would have the capacity to produce 18.4 million tons per year (mpta) of petroleum-based products and 2.4 mpta of ethylene and propylene-based derivatives.

The total investment in the plant is valued at over US$10 billion, making Sumitomo’s 50 per cent share the largest foreign investment ever in Saudi Arabia. In 2008, Petro Rabigh held its initial public offering (IPO) on the Saudi Arabian stock exchange, and this changed the ownership of the company by Saudi Aramco and Sumitomo Chemical to 37.5% each.

Established in 2005, as a joint venture between Saudi Aramco and Sumitomo Chemical, Petro Rabighaimsto build integrated oil refining and petrochemical operations by way of upgrading Saudi Aramco’s oil refinery and constructing a new petrochemical complex. Petro Rabigh’ s focus is the development, construction and operation of refining and petrochemical facilities both in Saudi Arabia and internationally.

It specialises in manufacturing and selling refined products such as liquefied petroleum, gasoline, jet fuel, gas oil, diesel, and fuel oil.

Constructed in 2006, the Petro Rabigh plant is located on the Red Sea , on a 3,000 acre site occupied by what used to be a Saudi Aramco topping refinery. Saudi Aramco supplies the facility with 400,000 barrels per day of crude oil, 95 million cubic feet per day of ethane and about 15,000 barrels per day of butane, while Sumitomo provides world-leading technological know-how and 95 years of experience in the global marketing of chemical products.

As of 2009, the expansion project of Petro Rabigh, Petro Rabigh 2, has been underway and is expected to be commissioned by 2016. The proposed scheme of Rabigh phase 2, includes the expansion of the ethane cracker and the construction of five petrochemical plants, an aromatics complex and an ethylene cracker debottlenecking plant, along with at least 15 downstream chemical production plants.

Predicted to be as big as the first phase, the project aims at producing specialist petrochemicals such as paraxylene, vinyl acetate 8 | Automation INSIGHT! | JANUARY 2015

A total of 4.5 million Saudi citizens participated in the IPO process, covering the share value by 5 folds.

Petro Rabigh Complex currently employs around 2,000 people, of which over 80 per cent are Saudi, with other employees representing 22 nations from around the globe; the plant is expected to almost double in size in the next few years and a proposed conversion park nearby will provide up to 5,000 additional jobs as well.

The Rabigh plant has its own self-contained city, complete with medical facilities, schools, a shopping mall, sports and recreational facilities, a beachfront and a park. Petro Rabighalso has an on-site R&D facility, and continuously sends employees around the world to keep up with the latest innovations, including the US, Europe, South America and Asia. Owing to the union of the world class expertise and capabilities of Saudi Aramco and Sumitomo Chemical, Petro Rabigh has positioned itself as one of the biggest and most innovative petrochemical companies globally.

Mitsubishi led consortium is a favourite for Facility D bid Qatar General Electricity and Water Corporation, Kahramaa, have made the decision to award the Mitsubishi led Consortium as the preferred bidder for Qatar’s next independent water and power project (IWPP), known as Facility D. However, the contract announcement has yet to be made after the final negotiations with Mitsubishi are done and the contract is drawn.

In 2013, Kahramaa announced its plans to launch an independent water and power plant (IWPP) with a power generation capacity of 2,400MW and a desalination capacity of 130mn g/d, to meet the growing demand for water and electricity. Known as Facility D, the IWPP will be located at the Qatar Economic Zone nearMesaieed.

The plant will have a capacity of 2,2802,520MW and 123.5-136.5 million imperial gallons a day (MIGD) of water. Some 70-90 MIGD of the desalination capacity will be from multistage flash (MSF)/multi-effect distillation (MED) technology, with the remaining 40-60 MIGD from reverse osmosis (RO) technology, which has to date only been implemented on a small scale in the country. The desalination component of the plant will partly use reverse osmosis (RO) technology, the first time the country has employed it on a large-scale scheme.

Kahramaa operates as an independent corporation on a commercial basis and is the sole transmission and distribution system owner and operator for the electricity and water sector in Qatar.In 2001, Qatar launched its first independent water and power project (IWPP), RasLaffan A. Since then, Kahramaa has awarded three more private projects, the RasLaffan B IWPP, the Mesaieed independent power project (IPP) and the RasLaffan C IWPP. In total, it has contracted 6,518MW of power and attracted investment of $7.8bn from the developer market. The investment has resulted in a rapid expansion of the transmission network with the number of high-voltage substations more than doubling between 2005 and 2011. As of 2011, Kahramaa’s overall transmission and distribution infrastructure comprised 4,000 kilometres of high-voltage overhead lines, 8,500km of cabling, 247 33-400kV substations and 10,500 11kV substations.

The Facility D IWPP has an estimated budget of $3bn-worth of investment, a large proportion of which is to be project financed by banks. It is thought that government-backed export credit agencies (ECAs), such as Japan Bank for International Cooperation (Jbic) will have to play a role in raising the necessary financing.

With the increasing demand for water and power supply, Qatar is continually trying to ensure that the supply always remains higher than the demand by increasing investment in the sector. Qatar has been recorded to have some of the highest demand growth for power and desalination in the Gulf in recent years and has been able to build up one of the highest reserve margins in the region.

However, with consumption expected to continue to rise steeply as the state pushes ahead with its construction programme for hosting the 2022 Fifa football World Cup, Kahramaais moving ahead with the Facility D project along with its other projects to ensure meeting the growing demands in the coming times.

KUWAIT MEGAPROJECTS: THE AL ZOUR NEW REFINERY PROJECT (NRP) In July 2007, state-owned downstream operator Kuwait National Petroleum Company (KNPC) first issued plans to build and develop what was intended as the country’s fourth oil refinery. What is to be later named as the Al Zour Refinery, the megaproject 90km to the south of Kuwait City would be capable of 615,000 bbl/d (97,800 m3/d) total production daily – making it one of the largest worldwide.

The multi-billion grass root scheme is to be developed as the primary supplier of 225,000 barrels a day of low sulfur fuel oil (less than 1% compared to market’s current 4% - significantly reducing pollutant emissions) as feedstock to power plants. Al Zour will also produce jet fuel, kerosene and naphtha feedstock for petrochemical plants.

In addition to this domestic benefit, the refinery would also be KNPC’s strategy of enhancing Kuwait’s petroleum productscompetitiveness in the world markets on account of its ability to meet global stringent requirements. Contracts were awarded by 2008 with KNPC announcing that the approximately $14 billion project would be operational by 2012.

However, the project encountered opposition by lawmakers who claimed that the government had not consulted the Central Tenders Committee before awarding contracts to foreign companies. The political wrangling, coupled with the drop in oil prices, prompted the Kuwaiti government toinform contractors to halt construction by March 2009.

The project restarted by February 2012, when the Supreme Petroleum Council gave the green light for project implementation. The $528 million Project Management Consultancy was awarded to Amecby December 2012. Also in that year, site preparation works commenced and approval from the Kuwait-Environment Public Authority (K-EPA) has been granted.

Some of the other contracts awarded include Honeywell’s proprietary Experion PKS integrated control and safety system (ICSS) to 10 | Automation INSIGHT! | JANUARY 2015

serve as the main control system, and Van Oord’s dredging works in the project site which was awarded on March 2014.

However, as far as the EPC contracts for the process and utilities packages go, the lowest bids came in hundreds of millions over budget, coming to a cumulative $4.2 billion for the entire development - which the contractors attributed to the changes of scope since the conception of the project. As of September 2014, KBC Advanced Technologies was appointed technical consultant to study the merging of the petrochemical complex and Al-Zour refinery into one integrated refining complex, something that might possibly improve margins and push the progress of the project forward. The first quarter of this year sees the client reviewing the options as KBC presented their findings, although the study is still very much in its feasibility stages.

The final decision on whether or not the Al Zour refinery project will be retendered will most likely be announced as soon as KBC wraps up their findings. Having the scheme retendered for a third time will be a major setback for Kuwait’s plans of overhauling its refining sector, slashing sulfur content in its fuels, and improving its refining capacity from 930,000 barrels a day (b/d) to 1.4 million b/d by 2020.

KUWAIT MEGAPROJECTS: THE CLEAN FUEL INITIATIVE 2014 is a turnaround year for Kuwait’s downstream sector. About $13.2 billion worth of refining contracts have been awarded in a flurry of project activity more than ten times the sum of deals awarded in the previous decade. This surge was brought about by the two megaprojects set to overhaul the country’s refining sector – the $14 billion Al Zour New Refinery Project which is to be built in the Divided Zone which the country shares with Saudi Arabia, and the $16 billion Clean Fuels Project – finally progressing. The Clean Fuels Project alone drove $12 billion worth of downstream contracts.

and Project Management (35%) provides consulting services for the project during construction phase.Project management consultant during the front end engineering design (FEED) stage was Fluor.

The preliminary design, specifications and bill of quantities (BOQ) for the refineries were prepared by Engineering Consultants Group (ECG) and the FCC at Mina Al-Ahmadi(MAA) will be upgraded by Daelim.

The Clean Fuels Project (CFP) is a strategic initiative of the Kuwait National Petroleum Company (KNPC) which is aimed at upgrading and the expanding the existing KNPC refineries at both Mina Abdulla and Mina Al-Ahmadi.Mina al-Ahmadi is the country’s biggest refinery, with a capacity of 466,000 b/d. Mina Abdulla has a capacity of 270,000 b/d.The CFP scheme will transform the two refineries into an integrated merchant refining complex that meets the diversified requirements of the world oil market, increasing capacity and lowering sulfur content of the output. The project also includes seeing the Kuwait’s third refinery, Shuaiba, decommissioned. Shuaiba has a capacity of 200,000 b/d.Upon its likely completion in 2018, total refining capacity of the complex will bring in 800,000 barrels a day.

The $3.4bn EPC contract for the second MAB package was awarded to a JV of Hyundai Heavy Industries (HHI), Fluor Corporation and Daewoo Engineering & Construction in April 2014.

The project management services contractor is Foster Wheeler. A joint venture (JV) of Hill International (65%) and System Development

The $3.7bn engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contract for the first Mina Abdullah(MAB) package was awarded to a JV comprised of Petrofac (46.9%), Samsung Engineering (42.9%) and CB&I Nederland (10.2%) in February 2014.CB&I will supply two atmospheric residuedesulphurisation units.

EPC contract for MAA package was awarded to the JV comprised of JGC Corporation, GS Engineering & Construction (GS E&C) and SK Engineering & Construction (SK E&C).

Currently, the EPC contract for the $900 million fifth gas train at Mina Al-Ahmadi, which is designed to process associated gas and condensate from Kuwait Oil Company gathering centers in southeast Kuwait and north Kuwait oil fields, is under deliberation. The deadline has been extended numerous times since it was tendered in September of 2014.

The Clean Fuel Project, catapulting the overhaul in the country’s refining sector, is crucial to Kuwait meeting its 2020 downstream targets and satisfying the demand for domestic electricity and refined products. Whether Kuwait has the capacity to execute both major schemes of the Clean Fuels and New Al Zour Refinery Projects at the same time remains to be seen.

Decision on the Refinery Modernisation Programme Scheduled

Bahrain Petroleum Company (Bapco) plans to take a final investment decision on its Refinery Modernisation Programme in early 2016.

The $5 billion project will expand the refinery production capacity from its current 265,000 bpd to 360,000bpd total capacity as well as improving the product slate and profitability by 2018. Bapco initially planned to raise the production to up to 500,000 bpd. However, in 2011 the new planned capacity was reduced to 360,000-b/d.

The front-end engineering and design (FEED) work is currently underway and is expected to be completed in early 2016.

In October last year, a JV of CB&I and the US’ Chevron had been awarded a contract by Bapco valued at $100 million to provide license for the LC-FINING and ISOCRACKING technologies and to prepare the engineering design for the new residue hydrocracking and vacuum gasoil hydrocracking units. Bapco had also awarded a $55.9 million contract to France’s Technip for a new residue conversion unit. This will be the most important upgrade, allowing Bapco to process heavier crudes into lighter products. The contract also includes the design of the associated offsites and utilities. Approximately 95% of the expanded capacity will be used to produce middle distillates or diesel fuel for export.

12 | Automation INSIGHT! | JANUARY 2015

The refinery currently relies on Saudi Arabia crude oil transferred to Bahrain via pipeline. The 70 years old pipeline has a capacity of 240,000 b/d. A new 30-inch diameter, 115km-long pipeline running onshore for 74km, with the remaining 41km being sub-sea, is planned to be built to replace the current ageing pipeline. The new transferred capacity will cater to the increment in Bapco Refinery processing capacity post completion of the Refinery Modernisation Programme.

Aramco has released the invitation to bid for the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contract in mid January this year. Aramco expects to receive the proposals in May after the bids submission deadline has been pushed back from 15 March and 4 April. The contract includes the EPC for Saudi onshore (43 km) and the offshore routes, and the EP for Bahrain onshore route (31 km). Bapco will issue the tender for the construction contract of the Bahraini onshore portion of the pipeline in the second quarter of 2016. The front-end engineering and design (feed) of the pipeline was completed by WorleyParsons.

Also among the upcoming plans to increase the country’s oil production is the offshore oil exploration program. Bapco is currently reviewing data for a potential offshore licensing round. The invitations to bid for the blocks exploration licenses are scheduled for later this year.

Bahrain produces an average of 46,000 bpd from its onshore Awali Field, and 150,000 bpd from offshore Abu Safa Joint Field. Bahrain.

Bahrain is starting deep gas exploration and production project aimed at fulfilling the needs of the gas sector according to the Exploration and Production Sharing Agreement was signed with the US’ Occidental Petroleum in February 2011. Deep gas drilling is currently on track on Deep Gas Well (BD-1).

OOCEP Prepare to Commission Musandam Gas Processing Plant Oman Oil Company Exploration and Production (OOCEP), the upstream subsidiary of the government owned Oman Oil Company (OOC), is due to start the commissioning phase of its $600 million Musandam Gas Processing Plant in July, behind the originally planned date in 2014.

The gas plant will take raw well fluids feed in from the Bukha field offshore platforms in Block 8, operated by RAK Petroleum, as well as future flows from Blocks 17 and 40 operated by PetroTel offshore Musandam. A new multiphase offshore pipeline will import fluids from the Bukha field to Musandam Gas Plant for processing.

The plant will produce sales quality gas, oil, LPG and sulphur, and will treat effluents to minimize any environmental impact. When commercial operations start later this year, part of the output natural gas will be used as feed stock for the Musandam Independent Power Plant (IPP), the first gas-fired power plant to be located in northerner Oman, which is currently under the engineering stage. The other part of the output will be transported from Musandam to Saqr Port in Ras Al Khaimah, in the United Arab Emirates, via offshore export pipeline.

The main process elements of the gas plant are: Oil & Gas Separation, Gas Compression, Gas Liquidification (LPG), Acid Gas Removal, Acid

Gas Enrichment, Sulfur Extraction and Solidification, Produced Water Treatment, RO plant, Gas Dehydration, Oil Storage, LPG Storage, Gas Export, Oil Export via SPM, LPG Export via Trucks, and Sulfur Export via Trucks. However, during the execution stage, the scope of the processing plant had been modified to suit the nature of the gas fluids. For example, OOCEP had to add an LPG extraction unit, and captive power, which were not part of the original scope. The changes in the scope of the plant along with the challenges of constructing the facility in rugged mountainous nature of the construction site, and the logistics and formalities of hauling construction machinery and plant equipment across international borders have put the development of the plant behind the schedule.

The engineering, procurement and construction contract for the plant was awarded to Hyundai Engineering Company in December 2010. Hyundai, in late September 2012, awarded the Omani Al Hassan Engineering Company two contracts worth a total value of $18.4 million for the electrical and instrumentation sub-contract, while Larsen & Toubro Oman was awarded the piping contractor.

In June 2013 Petrofac and OOCEP announced the signing of an agreement for an initial period of three years. As part of the agreement, Petrofac will handle the operations and maintenance of the gas plant and utilities for receiving well fluids from offshore platforms in the West Bukha field on behalf of OOCEP. UAE’s National Petroleum Construction Company (NPCC) was the EPC contractor for two offshore pipelines. The two pipelines have a total length exceeding 30 km. WorleyParsons was the FEED consultant.

Oil losses: Are you sure about your auto sampler performance?

KPS demonstrates new Sampler Design at the ISA exhibition event in Abu Dhabi At the initial start-up and the few months after it all auto samplers tend to work fine and get all the attention that they need. But after these months traditional sample grabbers can start showing variations of the grab size due to wear out. As a consequence the collected samples are no longer representative, which can possibly lead to oil losses. Operations continues to provide a filled bottle to the lab and hydrocarbon accounting use the numbers they are getting and take them for granted.

Familiar with the sampling principles available in the market today, KPS designed a sampler grabber that resolves the addressed issues mentioned previously by using an innovative balanced pressure design to cope with wear/abrasion from primarily solids. The design especially copes with wear of the moving parts causing premature leaking of the

sampler. Together with a properly designed and build sampling system involving pipeline mixing, sample grab checking and counting, and sample volume measurement, performance monitoring is guaranteed assuring a representative quality measurement system.

The new technology found allows for operations not having to continuously monitor the performance of the samplers, and hydrocarbon accounting gets accurate data to work with. With this new sample grabber, an annual checkup by a service technicianshould be sufficient and can be 14 | Automation INSIGHT! | JANUARY 2015

planned well in advance.

More information? Please check our technical paper or visit our website:www.KPSnl.com New Automatic Sampler Design Reduces Oil losses and Maintenance Cost KPS presents on Tuesday the 26th of May at the ISA event in Abu Dhabi Introduction Automatic Sampling is one of the measurement methods most used to determine the quality of crude oil and condensate feeds, i.e. the water content and crude composition. As with all moving parts, automatic samplers are subject to wear out. Especially in the cases of maturing production fields or locations where sand in combination with high pressure can be present, premature leaking of the sampler can occur. A new sampling design containing an innovative pressure balanced system was found to cope with these harsh environments.

Method The new sampling technology was tested and compared to traditional sampling designs at several locations including a Saudi Aramco affiliated and ExxonMobil owned major crude oil terminal based in Rotterdam, and several Petronas offshore production sites.

Tests were performed on different crude oil/water mixtures with different water concentrations and oil properties. Next to the field tests a test was performed on a lab scale to quantify the actual effect of a high and low performance factor on the overall sampling accuracy.

ANALYTIC Results and Findings Test results showed that the new automatic sampler design lasted up to 4 times longer compared to traditional designs. At one of the closely monitored locations, the traditional sampler design showed leakage issues between 200.000300.000 grabs. On the same location, it was found that the new sampler design still provided a steady performance after 1 million grabs. Furthermore, it was found that the sampler batch reports showed a more 'spot on' performance factor of the new designs indicating an improvement ofthe overall accuracy.

Conclusion We can conclude that the new sampler design tested at several sites has proven that a substantial reduction in maintenance cost up to 4 times can

be achieved, together with a more accurate overall performance.

Moreover, the new automatic sampler design presented shows that deviations to the actual water percentage due to wear out can be prevented or at least substantially postponed. As a consequence, oil losses are prevented.

About KPS KPS is a leading company in the field of design, manufacturing, and maintenance of Automatic Sampling Systems. KPS, established in 1996 have their headquarters in the area of Rotterdam, the busiest crude hub in Europe. With close to 100 auto samplers installed in the nearby area, it soon recognized the added value of reducing the maintenance requirements of an auto sampler. Based on customer feedbacks KPS got the opportunity to develop a more sustainable auto sampler which allows for a reliable performance with minimum operational cost.

Oman turns to WEG to enhance gas recovery Achieving maximum productivity from oil and gas fields is the prime goal for the petrochemical industry but the extraction process becomes more difficult as the field is depleted. Global drives, motors and controls manufacturer WEG is buildinga number of variable speed drive systems that will help with extraction from some of Oman’s older oil fields where the natural pressure is beginning to fade.

Boosting extraction from the depleting reserves is part of a massivemulti-billion dollar project that is also opening up new hydrocarbon fields and which will encourage the development of downstream processing operations.

At the PDO SaihRawl Field the concept is to install extra pumps at various critical points around the field to increase the pressure so that the oil or gas continues to flow. The field is primarily used to feed the liquefied natural gas (LNG) industry, but is also used as a back-up when other plants are shut down for maintenance.

The required engineering work is being undertaken by Indian company Larson &Tubro and should extend the working life of the field considerably. WEG is helping with the supply of 4830kW variable speed drives and motors and 3215kW drives and motors. These are all being built into a control system that has been designed for the individual location.

At SaihRawl the WEG motors and drives will mainly be used on the suction and discharge cooler fan motors used on the main gas compressor. These will be supplied as systems that also include a high capacity circuit breaker for emergency cut outs and a by-pass system for

DOL (direct on line) starting. A passive input harmonic filter will be fitted to reduce problems relating to mains borne corruption of the power supply, while anoutput filter will be used to protect the drive.

In fact, WEG will be supplying all of the overloads, switchgear, relays and pushbuttons used within the drive cabinets, the vast majority of which are manufactured within the WEG group of companies. This will ensure component compatibility and trouble free system building and commissioning as well as efficient ordering and delivery.

The drives are supplied built into systems and mounted in control cabinets. These are built at a WEG factory in Brazil, where they are also tested in the presence of inspectors from PDO and Larson &Tubro. The tests simulate the harsh environmental and operating conditions that may occur in the field, thus ensuring that the systems are completely fit for their intended purpose.

Other elements within the control cabinet for the Oman project include a control power transformer and auxiliary contactors and circuit breakers. A door mounted control panel will incorporate a backlit LCD keypad, while a serial link (Modbus 485RTU) will provide communication to the wider control system.

The control cabinets will also include space heaters, which are essential because of the large temperature differential between day and night which causes condensation to form – not something that is welcomed inside an electrical cabinet.

To ensure complete integrity, WEG will also support a performance test of the motors with the fans at the fan manufacturer’s plant in Korea.

Furthermore, WEG has organized training sessions for PDO staff in the Brazilian factory, where the motors are made and the control panels assembled.

JANUARY 2015 | Automation INSIGHT! | 17

COMPANYNEWS Since it first entered the world of electronic variable speed drives, WEG has striven to develop perfectly matched drives and motors and has perfected this to the point where it has doubled the life of a motor when used with a drive. WEG’s massive investment in research and development and the joint expertise of electric motor and drive design engineers has addressed two of the major drawbacks of modern PWM (pulse width modulating) drives.

The voltage chopping techniques used by these drives can lead to an increase in motor temperature and also to fast transient high voltage peaks.In both cases, the consequence is a dramatic reduction in motor life.

The high performance design of both the drive

and motor architecture makes WEG products the perfect solution for the most arduous industrial applications, such as those found in oil fields and hydrocarbon processing plants.

Overall the PDO SaihRawl Field Project will lead to the development of a daily gas production capacity of 30 million cubic meters, which will be fed to the existing SaihRawl central processing facility. This will compensate for the depletion of the current fields and is due on stream later this year.

It is expected that Oman will unlock about one trillion cubic meters of natural gas over the next 25 years, representing a long term, sustainable and competitive feedstock for its petrochemical industry, which will include contributions from several gas fields.

Plans are also afoot to develop downstream industries such as the production of Ethylene Dichloride (EDC), Caustic Soda and other chemicals.

Director of Consulting, Peter Reynolds, will speak on best practices for securing automation systems in industrial plants, a key, “top of mind” topic in many industrial plants and facilities today. Since appropriate counter-measures often require considerable effort and capital investment, Mr. Reynolds’ presentation also addresses approaches for justifying both the effort and expense required to effectively secure automation hardware and software.

“While the threat of security breaches to industrial control systems is increasing due in large part to today’s widespread use of Internet and other commercial technologies in modern automation, ARC has found than many organizations are still reluctant to take action.

This is partly because cyber security efforts have been difficult to justify and programs and projects difficult to fund. But to be able to take advantage of new approaches, such as the Industrial Internet of Things, to unlock previously stranded data to create value, reduce costs, and improve both safety and availability; appropriate security mechanisms must first be put in place, ” Mr. Reynolds commented.

INDUSTRIAL AUTOMATION AND CONTROL

Justification For Migration How to calculate financial justification for migration from an existing distributed control system to a new automation system Authors: Mike Vernak and Tim Shope, Rockwell Automation Many process plants have an outdated Distributed Control System (DCS) currently in place. As a DCS reaches the end of its useful life, migration to a new automation system is required, but before this can take place internal plant personnel must provide a financial justification, typically to their corporate offices.

This justification must compare the cost of continued operation with the DCS to the costs and benefits of migration to a new automation system. Cost and benefits for each option consists of many factors that together comprise the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). To perform the most accurate analysis, all of these factors must be identified and quantified.

FUNCTIONAL SAFETY AND SIS

The Evolution of Gas Detector Placement Authors: Srinivasan Ganesan, MENA Region Manager, Kenexis

Lily Glick, Staff Engineer, Kenexis

Gas detection is ubiquitous in a wide range of process industry applications where leaks of process equipment can result in either toxic or flammable gas clouds that can hurt personnel or property. Even so, the science of gas detector placement is still in its infancy. However, help from organizations such as the ISA have helped to make this art more technically rigorous and widely adopted. This article reviews the history, the current state, and the future of gas detector placement.

Initially, the placement of gas detectors was more art than science. Engineers would utilize their experience to place the detectors. These experts formed rules for the placement of gas detectors based on finding points where gases would accumulate, finding points where gases would be released, and utilizing the difference in density of the released gas and air. These rules were inconsistent between experts and were not standardized; the result was different designs in similar facilities. A study performed by the United Kingdom Health and Safety Executive (UK HSE) found that the placement of fixed gas detection systems only identified less than 70% of the major gas releases that occurred. This was deemed to be unacceptable, especially after several process industry incidents where the gas detection design was insufficient to mitigate the consequences.

The poor performance of the heuristic placement techniques resulted in the application of more quantitative analysis in the placement of detectors. Loss prevention engineers and the UK HSE philosophized that gas detectors should be placed so that they can detect a gas cloud large enough to cause damage. HSE hypothesized that if the gas cloud was limited to a size where the maximum distance that a flame could travel through the cloud was 7 meters, then the gas cloud would not create an explosion. It would be limited to a flash fire which is a significantly 40 | Automation INSIGHT! | JANUARY 2015

less hazardous outcome. The objective of the gas detector design was to make sure that a cloud of critical size could not fit between detectors. HSE determined that placing gas detectors on a 5 meter grid would prohibit the formation of a gas leak with a diameter of 7 meters. This method of gas detector placement is known as “the grid”.

Some problems were identified with the grid layout. This gas detection design was applicable only for point detectors, and open path detectors were gaining popularity. Also, this design did not differentiate between levels of congestion in process plants. For example, the grid required placement of gas detectors where leak sources did not exist. Another problem is that the five meter grid does not take into account the reactivity of the leaked gas or the confinement of the cloud. For highly reactive hydrocarbons such as ethylene oxide, a five meter cloud is too large, whereas methane in an open area would require a larger diameter cloud to be dangerous. Finally, the minimum dangerous cloud concept is only usable for combustible gas leaks. There is no safe size for a toxic gas cloud.

In the evolution of methodology for gas detector placement, the next ideology is now referred to as geographic fire and gas mapping. This method improves upon the grid technique by taking into account the gas released and the area congestion. Instead of a default five meter diameter, the congestion and gas released are considered to determine a critical gas cloud size. If this critical diameter was determined to be five meters, then the detector must be placed within five meters of the center point of the cloud. This method of detector placement places weight on the fraction of covered area: the area of the gas cloud that is within range of gas detectors. The most primitive form of geographic coverage design was to draw circles around detectors on a plot plan drawing. As time passed and the technique developed, computer software was developed to draw coverage maps, calculate the fraction of covered area, and distinguish the areas that were covered by two or more detectors from those that are only covered by one detector.

Geographic coverage mapping was quickly adopted because it is advantageous due to its ability to conform to different process hazards and that the coverage could be limited to “graded areas”, where hazards are known to exist. An example of a geographic coverage map created in the Kenexis Effigy™ FGS mapping software is shown in the figure below.

FUNCTIONALSAFETYANDSIS Gas Detection Coverage Map – Geographic Coverage – Kenexis Effigy™ At present, geographic coverage mapping for gas detector placement is the most commonly deployed sophisticated methodology for gas detector placement. Even though geographic coverage is more technically advanced than grid placement, it does not take into account where the leak comes from or factors that change the shape of the gas cloud such as wind speed and direction. Scenario coverage, which is also defined in the ISA 84.00.07 technical report, takes these conditions into consideration. An example of a scenario coverage map created in the Kenexis Effigy™ FGS mapping software is shown in the figure below.

Gas Detection Coverage Map – Scenario Coverage – Kenexis Effigy™ Unlike geographic coverage, the desired output of scenario coverage is not to achieve a large fraction of the area covered. The intention of scenario coverage is to calculate the fraction of release scenarios that are covered. In this method, dispersion modeling is used to determine the cloud dimensions from a release for each piece of equipment in a zone.

The releases are then simulated in the process area and compared against the detector locations to see if a released gas cloud overlaps with the location of a detector. If so, that release scenario is determined to be “covered”. For each release source in a zone the released gas cloud is distributed in many directions (usually around 720 directions). In a typical zone of a process facility, hundreds of thousands of releases may be considered. The software then determines what fraction of the release scenarios are detected and compares that against a quantitative target. Another output of this method is a color-coded map showing the frequency at which an undetected gas cloud is expected to exist. Although scenario coverage provides more knowledge about the degree of effectiveness of a gas detection array, it requires significantly increased analysis time. Most engineers find that

the benefits of scenario coverage outweighs the extra analysis time.

More in-depth modeling of gas dispersion in an area can be calculated, but the commercial applications become limited due to the significantly increased analysis cost and effort. Loss prevention specialists have found that scenario coverage is limited in analyzing indoor applications and determining “near field” effects of obstructions.

In an indoor gas release, the movement of the gas is almost completely driven by the building’s HVAC system. Similarity dispersion modeling is a simplified application that cannot completely model the subtle effects of building air movement and the complex movement of gases around the contours of process equipment.

In cases where similarity dispersion modeling is not sufficient, a more rigorous method of dispersion modeling is through Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). Gas detector placement using CFD models is a type of scenario coverage modeling, but the results are much harder to develop and to interpret. In CFD modeling, the analyst builds a three dimensional model of a facility, places releases and gas detectors, and then runs the computer program. The analyst reviews the results generated by each gas detector to determine if the release is “covered”. An example of utilizing CFD modeling software to model a gas release is shown in the figure below.

FUNCTIONALSAFETYANDSIS CFD Modelling of an Indoor Gas Release

Although the data results from the CFD modeling are more computationally rigorous, it is expensive and time consuming. CFD modelling consumes large amounts of analyst time for the development and interpretation of the models.

Individual scenarios can require hours of computational time, which is also prohibitive to using CFD modeling for commercial processes. A scenario coverage assessment can assess hundreds of thousands of release scenarios, but the time

required for CFD modeling limits it to a handful of scenarios per study. As a result, analysts need to use judgment to select a small subset of scenarios that would be representative of the complete data set. This judgment works well in indoor facilities, where release patterns can be more easily predicted. It does not work as well in outdoor facilities, where it is difficult to fully represent the range of wind and weather patterns. CFD based analysis is already being used successfully for indoor scenarios, and with advancements in methodology and computational power, could soon be used for outdoor analysis too.
