OVERVIEW OF PLATFORM FACILITIES Topaz (TPDP-A) Satellite Drilling Platform will be a tripod structure satellite platform designed with basic facilities and unmanned operation. The platform has a total of six (6) conductors. Four (4) of the conductors will be single completion wellheads of oil production wells and 2 (single completion wellheads) will be in spare for the future. The topside consists of well production facilities such as wellheads, well flow
lines, production manifolds, well testing (test header, well test MPFM), FWS crude heater, FWS pig launcher, FWS MPFM and Gaslift Receiver. Facilities such as vent and drain systems, utility/instrument/fuel gas system, potable and wash water system, firewater system, nitrogen supply system, diesel fuel system and chemical injection system are also provided on the platform. Provision for future FWS multiphase pump is provided to increase pressure of FWS to FPSO. Production from each of the Topaz well will pass through a choke valve and be routed to production manifold. The fluid is heated in the FWS crude heater unit and subsequently fed into the pipeline to new FPSO. The transportation of FWS is by natural flow utilizing the reservoir pressure during the year 2010 only. From the year 2011 onwards, a multiphase pump is required due to low available FTHP. The oil wells contain up to only 0.042 mole % CO 2. Corrosion is not considered as major issue but batch corrosion inhibitor injection during pigging is proposed to mitigate corrosion in FWS pipeline. No H2S is reported in the well stream. The platform shall be periodically visited by operating personnel for performing necessary functions. Monitoring and control of the critical parameters are performed from the PMCS located at the platform. The operating personnel from FPSO can perform some operations of the platform when necessary through the PMCS. The facilities are designed for simultaneous drilling and production (SIPROD). During SIPROD, the compressed air and firewater will be supplied from the drilling rig. P5173B-PR-MAN-1001

Note: The Pour Point of the crude is 30 °C and the minimum sea water temperature is 22 °C. Therefore, continuous PPD injection is required to avoid gelling of the crude in the un-insulated FWS pipeline and to ensure FWS flow to the FPSO. The main PPD injection is into the FWS production header/pipeline and alternatively there is an injection point on the gas lift header. 1.3.1
The Topside and FWS Pipeline Design Capacity The Topside piping, equipments and the FWS pipeline are sized based on a maximum oil flow rate of 7000 bpd with the proportionate gas and water rates corresponding to the maximum oil production forecast year 2011. From the Simulation this sizing flow rates are as stated: Oil – 7000 bpd, Gas – 6.45 mmscfd and Water – 248 bpd.

OPERATION ORGANISATION AND MANAGEMENT 2.1
Operating Concept The TOPAZ development project is a fit for purpose facility wellhead platform (TPDP-A) and associated subsea pipelines. This satellite platform is a drilling platform which has six conductor slots (2 for future) comprising of single completion wellheads for each slot. FWS from TPDP-A flows through flowlines, production header and subsea pipeline to new FPSO for processing. The production from the wells is assisted by gas lift gas which will be supplied from FPSO. Space provision for one future 10" crude/ FWS riser and receiver is provided. The platform contains fit for purpose facilities and is unmanned, with the objective to reduce capital cost (CAPEX) and operating cost (OPEX). Maintenance is performed during periodic visits by operating personnel. TPDP-A has been designed to allow simultaneous drilling and production operations, SIPROD, to enable production whilst drilling operations continue. This arrangement reduces down time, deferment of production and hence cost. Before SIPROD is permitted, the economic advantages are evaluated against potential safety and environmental risks. Once permission is granted, a Site Specific Procedure is developed for each scenario where Simultaneous Production and Drilling operations are to be performed. The procedures clearly define the responsibilities during each phase of the operation and identify the additional facilities required to ensure the safe and effective implementation of the activities.

Preventive Maintenance (PM) and Corrective Maintenance (CM) The TPDP-A facilities will be inspected and maintained in accordance with the Carigali Inspection and Maintenance Guidelines (CIMG). These guidelines are in line with the general requirements of PETRONAS guidelines and regulatory requirements and apply to all PETRONAS CARIGALI operations in the Vietnam region. 2.3.4.1. Inspection This will be performed initially on time based schedule until sufficient data has been collected, analysed and trended to provide the necessary confidence to change to a condition based schedule. The scope of inspection includes the physical inspection to detect the damage to coatings, operability of equipment and facilities. 2.3.4.2. Maintenance The objectives of maintenance are: 1. . To preserve the company assets in order to: •
Safeguard the integrity of wells, facilities and installation over the life of the asset
•
Enable the operation to achieve the availability and production targets with specified quantity
•
Provide
an
auditable

and
maintenance control 2. To fulfil all maintenance tasks in the most cost effective manner by the efficient deployment and use of resources. 3. To record and analyse maintenance data on asset performance in order to input such data into further company developments. Maintenance options for the PLDP-A facilities are a combination of preventative maintenance and corrective maintenance. Preventative maintenance includes activities to ensure that the equipment is operating correctly and has the necessary consumables of sufficient quality, i.e. lubricants, to continue performing satisfactorily. The planned period between preventative maintenance activities, and when they are actually performed is recorded on the Maintenance Control System. P5173B-PR-MAN-1001

Corrective maintenance activities are recorded in the computer based Maintenance Control System to provide an auditable trail of activities performed on each piece of equipment. 2.3.5. Valve Locking System and Tagging It is necessary to be able to isolate items of equipment using manual valves in order to facilitate maintenance activities. Such isolations must be both secured so that inadvertent operation of the isolating valve, which could create a hazardous situation, is not possible. The locking devices most commonly used for valve locked off are as follows: •
Lock and chain
•
Carriage seal with lock
•
Proprietary locking device (Smith Flow Control or similar)
•
Custom device provided as part of the valve actuator
The device should be suitable for the type of actuator, and installed in such a way as to hold the valve firmly in the required position allowing no movement which could result in the gate or plug changing position. When the isolation has been secured, the keys from the locks used in the lock off are stored in a secured lock off box located in the production shed along with a copy of the isolation certificate and work permits. The isolation is marked with a uniquely numbered red plastic tag, marked to identify the work permit to which the isolation relates. The unique number is recorded on the isolation certificate. When a valve is locked off as part of boundary isolation for activities under one or more permits, then a lock and tag should be attached for each of the work permits requiring the isolation. As each permit is signed off on completion of the work, then the lock and tag identified for the permit is removed. Positive identification of the tag as being the tag identified on the permit must be confirmed to ensure security of the isolation while other activities are performed.

2.3.6. Rate Control and Target Before the start of each month, a Monthly Target Letter is produced specifying the production target for the month taking into account any planned downtime for wells and facilities. The letter also sets the limits on the operating parameters for each well, based on well performance and fluid sample data collected during well tests. The information is used by reservoir management to advice operations on setting the rate from each well to achieve the target rate without compromising future reservoir performance.
2.3.7. Reservoir Management The purpose of reservoir management is to maximise recoverable reserves by optimising recovery strategies. To gain the necessary understanding of how the reservoir will behave under various drainage and development scenarios, a reservoir model and simulation is developed. The model is developed using structural data gained from the seismic information consolidated and adjusted where possible from core data retrieved from the appraisal and exploration wells in the development. Further adjustment to the model and simulation is provided through the appraisal well flow tests and good quality well test information collected throughout life of field. The reservoir model is used through out life of field in order to provide information to be in the design of well completions and enhanced recovery systems, and to identify the optimum operating parameters for each injection or production well which will maximise total fluid recovery. The Reservoir Management Plan forms part of the Field Development Plan and provides information with regard to the properties and characteristics of the reservoir structure and fluids in addition to guidelines on how the reservoir is to be managed throughout field life. A review of the Reservoir Management Plan is performed every three years to re-assess the performance of the reservoir and identify possible enhancements to prolong the economic life of the field and increase recoverable reserves.

FIP - Field Management Proposal In-order to be able to improve the performance of operation it is necessary to continuously assess alternative approaches to the way we operate. The need for change is identified from analysis and review of the various reports, the advent of new technology and staff suggestions. Improvement projects are usually initiated for the following reasons: •
Increase facility throughput or output
•
Reduce maintenance/operation costs
•
Improve operability and maintenability
•
Fulfill HSE requirements
•
Upgrade facilities for new technology application
•
Upgrade facilities for meet revised standards
•
To satisfy product specification
Before any change can be made it is necessary to perform a feasibility study to ensure that the change will achieve the claims of the originator without compromising other aspects of the operation, safety or the environment. The results of the study is then presented to the Field Improvement Plan (FIP) panel, along with costs and implementation plan, for further review and approval to ensure technical and cost effective implementation.

PURGING AND PRESTART-UP PREPARATIONS 3.1
Purging Prior to start-up of the plant, air in process equipment and piping is displaced with N2 to prevent build-up of explosive hydrocarbon-air mixtures on admitting process fluids. Nitrogen is to be supplied from the nitrogen bottle rack comprising of total 32 bottles (16 bottles on each rack). Air is displaced by N2 down to a concentration of 1 vol% of oxygen by repeated cycles of pressurizing to 36 psig (2.5 barg) and depressurizing to 3 psig (0.2 barg) with N2. Portable Gas Detector (Oxygen analyser) is used to verify and measure the oxygen content in the vessel or piping segment at the end of the depressuring phase of the purge cycle. It is recommended that the plant be purged out starting from the furthest point downstream and proceeding systematically to the end of the plant. Purging shall be done beginning at the furthest upstream point and allowing the purging medium to sweep through the system to the furthest downstream point to the vent lines. Purge gas shall be vented off at vent points provided; ensuring that air in blind ends and recycle lines is removed. The following steps shall be used as a guide. During maintenance period a special procedure shall be prepared for purging any item prior to introducing hydrocarbons into the equipment and pipeworks. 1. All level gauges and level switches on vessels and any other "valved in" devices on the vessels shall be open to the vessel during purging. 2. Keep all control valves open 3. Keep all SDVs and BDVs closed. 4. Open maintenance vent valve. 5. Close all drain valves. 6. Connect purge gas venting points, by hose if necessary, into well ventilated areas to prevent risk of N2 suffocation. 7. Start purging with nitrogen at the furthest upstream points. Nitrogen will start to replace air in the pipes, headers and space above the water level in the vessels. The air will escape through the open maintenance vent line.

REV 0 / February 09
rnz integrated (m) sdn. bhd (325798-X) TOPAZ DEVELOPMENT PROJECT START UP AND OPERATING MANUAL 8. Close the maintenance vents and pressurise the system to about 36 psig (2.5 barg). Slowly depressurise to about 3 psig (0.2 barg) by opening the maintenance vent. 9. Repeat the above steps of pressurising and depressurising until the oxygen concentration in the system falls below 1% vol of oxygen. 10. Check oxygen concentration using portable gas detector. 11. After purging is complete, leave the system in a slightly pressurised state to prevent air ingress. 12. Restore all valves to their original position. 13. The system is now ready for introduction of hydrocarbon for start-up.
3.2.
Pre-start-up Preparations The following is a general pre-start-up status checklist that may be used to confirm platform readiness: 1. The fusible plug loop system, fire fighting and critical communication facilities within the platform and to the CCR on FPSO are operational. 2. Operation and maintenance staff have been trained and sufficiently equipped on daily operations and emergency response procedures. 3. Functional logic and shutdown loop checks on the PMCS and SIS have been completed and all control, monitoring loops at PMCS and local control panels are operational. 4. Manual and remote operated valves including instrument isolation valves are all set at their normal positions. 5. Hydrotest blinds have been removed or returned to their normal positions, vessels and lines drained freed of water. All spectacle blinds are in correct position and connections for future equipment and pipework are blind flanged. 6. All PSVs have been calibrated. All PSVs outlet isolation valves are locked open position and inlet isolation valves as per P&IDs. 7. All field devices e.g. instrument, controls and trips have been calibrated and their set points are correct as per P&IDs. 4. All check valves are installed correctly.

SUBSQUENT START-UPS TPDP-A shutdown logic comprises of the following main levels of shutdown, arranged in an order of hierarchy. The higher levels will take precedence and enforce lower levels of shutdown. •
Emergency Shutdown with blowdown (ESD)
•
Emergency Shutdown without blowdown (ESD)
•
Process Shutdown (PSD)
•
Unit Shutdown (USD)
There is no automatic (direct) shutdown interface between new FPSO and TPDP-A. All trips initiated due to upset of the new FPSO facilities will have no automatic (direct) executive action on TPDP-A. Similarly any trip on the TPDP-A platform will have no automatic (direct) executive action on the new FPSO. In the event of ESD or PSD on the new FPSO, manual initiation of PSD on TPDP-A from soft key push button at FPSO HMl is required. This section covers the procedures for subsequent start-up following platform shutdown. However, during SIPROD mode all the PSDs and USDs as indicated in the C&E matrix are converted to ESD with blowdown.

6.0 PROCESS SYSTEMS OPERATING PROCEDURES 6.1
Wells, Flowlines and Headers
6.1.1. System Description 6.1.1.1. Introduction Reservoir fluids are produced from the selected formation through the well-tubing and completion equipment to the wellhead. The wellhead constitutes as the surface termination of a well bore and provides the support for the well completion and interface with the Christmas tree. The tree connects each well to the individual flow line through a choke valve for flow control. The Christmas tree provides surface flow control and containment of the well fluids production as well as the access for well servicing. TPDP-A is designed for single completion Christmas tree. The well conductor slots are arranged in triangular pitch. Initially, 4 slots will be installed and the other 2 slots are for future.
6.1.1.2. Well Completion TPDP-A is a drilling platform with 6 conductor slots, 4 installed and 2 planned for future. Each contains a single completion FWS production well with gaslift. The well completion use 3-1/2” production tubing and the conductor is 26”.
6.1.1.3. Christmas Tree The TPDP-A wellheads are rated for API 5000. Each tree is mounted on the tubing hanger assembly such that the bores in the tree line up with the tubing strings and held in place by a two part circumferential clamps (PCVL to confirm). Control of the SCSSV and SSV is from the Wellhead Control Panel (WHCP). The flowrate from each production string is set by manual choke valve on the outlet of the tree. The maximum well Closed-in Tubing Head Pressure (CITHP) is 2015 psig. Based on the available data, the maximum Flowing Tubing Head Pressure (FTHP) is 429 psig and maximum Flowing Tubing Head Temperature (FTHT) is 47.2 °C.

6.1.1.4. Well Flowlines From the wells the fluids flow into the 80 mm production flowlines via the manual choke valve on the outlet of the wing valve. Each flow line can be routed to either the production or test header using the respective manual block valves. On each flowline there is a sand probe switch at min 1 m distance from the choke valve, which provides the indication of sand production in the well fluids on the WHCP. Each flowline has a non return valve at the downstream of choke valve to prevent the reverse flow from other flowlines. Protection against high pressure in the flowline is by the high high pressure trip, PZAHH which will close the SSV for the associated well through WHCP-0100 if pressure exceeds 1227 psig. The ultimate protection is provided by means of 2x100% PSVs. If the line ruptures or the well fails, the low low pilot, PZALL will close the SSV on the associated well through WHCP-0100 when the pressure falls below 44 psig. An override is provided at the control panel on the low low pressure trip for startup.
6.1.1.5. Production and Test Headers Each flow line connects to the test and production header through double block and bleed valves, so that fluids can be either routed to the test or the production header. The production header enables fluids from the other wells to be commingled. FWS is exported to new FPSO via a 10" FWS pipeline. Fluids from a flowline can be diverted to the test header for well testing via the multiphase flow meter A-1210. 6.1.1.6. Casing Blowdown Facility Should the pressure of the well annulus become excessively high the pressure can be bleed off to an acceptable level using the casing P5173B-PR-MAN-1001

PCVL's current practice is to bleed off the casing pressure regularly when the casing pressure exceeds 500 psig (HOLDPCVL to confirm). The blowdown connection on the tree is connected to the casing blowdown header. With the casing blowdown choke valve on the tree opened, flow from the casing is limited through this valve into the vent header to ensure that gas vented is below the vent system design flowrate of 4 MMSCFD.
6.1.1.7. Wellhead Control Panel Control of the SSV and SCSSV on each well and the hydraulic suppliers are provided by the wellhead control panel WHCP-0100. In the control panel, a hydraulic power pack supplies the pressure to open SSVs and SCSSVs. The hydraulic oil reservoirs are located on the top of the panel. Pressure indicators for the hydraulic and instrument gas supplies and components for control of logic are located on the panel. The WHCP operates as a hydraulic interface between the SIS and the wellhead actuated valves. The solenoid valve provides the pneumatic and electric signals for the overall control of the SSVs and SCSSVs responding to signals from the ESD and PSD in integrated SIS/PMCS system. 6.1.1.8. Hydraulic Power Pack Hydraulic oil is stored in the reservoir in WHCP. The reservoir is divided into, two compartments to provide two separate supplies to the section of the pumps and to the well control modules. There is a low level transmitter, LZA-0001 and LZA-0002 in each compartment of the tank which provides a signal to the SIS logic to close the SSVs and SCSSVs should the level in the tank reach the low limit. Hydraulic pressure for the manual operation of SCSSVs is provided by individual pneumatically operated pumps in each Well Control Module. A pneumatically operated pump equipped with a manual operator is provided as back-up hydraulic supply for the SCSSV during start-up. The back up (manual) and main SCSSV hydraulic supply pump are protected against over pressure by individual relief valves, and relieving P5173B-PR-MAN-1001

rnz integrated (m) sdn. bhd (325798-X) TOPAZ DEVELOPMENT PROJECT START UP AND OPERATING MANUAL back to the tank. The pressure in the supply is indicated on a gauge inside the panel. Hydraulic fluid to operate the SSVs is provided by two primary pneumatically operated pumps equipped with manual operators. Capacity of each of the loops is provided by a pre-charged accumulator on the pump discharge. The accumulator avoids the need to wait for the pressure to recover after the operation of each SSV fed from the supply. The accumulator located on each SSV hydraulic header supplies the stored hydraulic pressure to open and close any one well for two cycles. In order to function as described above, the accumulator requires to be charged with nitrogen. The output from each pump is fed to a dedicated manifold which directs the supply to the well modules, such that half of the modules are fed from one supply. SSV supply pressure 1 and supply pressure 2 are indicated on front of the panel. Each SSV hydraulic supply pump is protected against over pressure by a relief valve, and relieving back to the tank. All hydraulic returns are piped back to the respective hydraulic oil reservoir.
6.1.1.9. Control Logic The integrated SIS/PMCS system performs the sequencing and permissive logic required for the SSVs and SCSSVs in response to open/close commands received from the PMCS HMI or within the SIS process shutdown logic. The SIS logic provides the electrical control signals to the well control modules to enable the individual SSV and SCSSV to be opened. Loss of signals results on closure of all SCSSVs as a result of an ESD-F/G and all SSVs following an ESD / PSD. Closure of all SSVs and all SCSSVs can also be initiated from WHCP on the basic sections using pushbuttons on the front panel. Individual pushbutton to close each SSV and SCSSV are provided on each of the well control module. The WHCP via the integrated SIS/PMCS system also has the facility to remotely reset a PSD (as per section 5.3) from the FPSO by energising the solenoid valve. P5173B-PR-MAN-1001

REV 0 / February 09
rnz integrated (m) sdn. bhd (325798-X) TOPAZ DEVELOPMENT PROJECT START UP AND OPERATING MANUAL 6.1.1.10. Well Module Logic The well control modules are identical and interchangeable. Well control modules logic is implemented in the integrated SIS/PMCS system. Each module has the following supply connections: •
ESD-F/G electric signal to SCSSV solenoid valve
•
PSD electric signal to SSV solenoid valve
•
Hydraulic supply for SCSSV pump
•
SSV hydraulic supply
•
Manual SCSSV pump supply
•
Utility gas supply for SSV and SCSSV pump
The logic implemented in the integrated SIS/PMCS for the module enables the two valves to be opened in the correct sequence, SCSSV followed by SSV, when the ESD and PSD permissive signals are present. The logic initiates the closure of one or both of the valves on loss of the permissive and high or low pressure or low reservoir level. The SCSSV is normally opened by pressure created by the pump. When the SCSSV permissive is pressurised, following ESD reset, the open sequence is initiated to provide the control gas to the pump control logic. The control gas signal is fed to two flow control valves, both able to feed utility gas to the pump through the separate regulators, set to give the required pump output pressures respectively. On opening of the SCSSV, automatic two-stage pressurisation is provided. Initial pressurisation shall be to the equalising pressure of the SCSSV. This pressure will be increased to the full operating pressure after an adjustable time delay of 5 to 7 minutes. The time delay between automatic initiations of SCSSV closure following initiation of SSV closure is adjustable for each string over a range of 15 to 120 seconds. Individual SSV and SCSSV can be remotely opened and closed by energising and de-energising solenoid valve via the integrated SIS/PMCS from the FPSO Remote Operator Station. Remote manual closing of all SSVs and SCSSVs can be initiated from FPSO.

This is going to be small volume compared to the holdup volume in the pipeline and hence considered as safe with regards to the gelling issue in the pipeline. The remaining liquid from the closed drain vessel can be removed locally into drums.
6.1.4. Well Unloading Procedure Well unloading typically required for kicking off a weak well for which production rate is too low. The well unloading for a particular well can be performed while other wells are producing. The well kick-off operation must be fully attended. For the procedure detailed above, well W-0100 is used as an example. 1. Ensure that the drain and vent system is ready to receive well unloading fluids. If necessary, operate both the Closed Drain Transfer Pumps together to empty the contents of Closed Drain Vessel into the Production Header. 2. Check that SSV-0110, wing valve and choke valve, HCV-0110 are in closed position. 3. Install an override on PZALL-0110 to avoid a low pressure trip. 4. Ensure that valves on the production header are in closed position. 5. Close valves at the inlet of the test MPFM. 6. Line up the well to be unloaded to the closed drain vessel through the test header. 7. Open the wing valve and open SSV-0110 from WHCP. 8. Start the well unloading operation by slowly opening the choke valve using a manual hand wheel. Control the unloading rate and pressure downstream of the choke by controlling the choke opening.

Well Testing 6.2.1. System Description 6.2.1.1. Introduction Well testing is normally required for measuring of well flow rates and determining other characteristics of gas, oil and water. This is performed once the production has stabilised or when unforeseen changes of well production parameters are noticed. Only one well is allowed to be tested at one time since the testing facilities are only designed for a single well flow rate. Multiphase flow meter (MPFM) is provided for the testing. Testing of the wells is carried out locally by opening associated isolation valves on the well strings to switch flow from production header to test header. The MPFM control unit is connected serially to the integrated SIS/PMCS for data transfer. The control unit is capable to calculate the individual phases flow rates, water cut, pressure, temperature, total flow rate and density etc.

rnz integrated (m) sdn. bhd (325798-X) TOPAZ DEVELOPMENT PROJECT START UP AND OPERATING MANUAL Due to the waxy nature of the crude and higher pour point temperature, there may be gelling in the FWS pipeline as it is a sub sea pipeline causing the fluid temperature to drop below the pour point temperature of the crude. Therefore, the crude will be heated up to 54-60 °C in the FWS crude heater unit so as to maintain the FWS temperature above the Wax Appearance Temperature (WAT) of 49°C. The Pour Point Depressant (PPD) will be continuously injected into the FWS stream at this temperature to avoid the wax separation and hence in tern the gelling during the transport. An indirect gas fired heater is used for this purpose. The fired gas will heat up the glycol water which in tern will heat the crude in a heat exchanger. The temperature of the outlet crude is controlled by the flow of fuel gas to the fired heater. The fired heater is provided with an expansion tank to accommodate the variations in the temperature due to the crude heating. The hot glycol water will be circulated by the glycol pumps pumping back to the fired heater. The fired heater will be provided with a Burner Management System (BMS) on the skid. All the controls and shutdowns of the equipment and instrument within the system will be performed by the package PLC and shutdown system respectively with some important signals repeated in the PMCS and SIS. 6.3.2
Operating Procedure The preparation for glycol filling / top up, initial start up, normal operation, normal shut down and emergency shutdown etc. will be provided by the package Vendor.

FWS Launcher, Gaslift Receiver and Pipeline System 6.5.1. System Description 6.5.1.1. Introduction The FWS from the TPDP-A wells flow from the production header into the pipeline through a barred tee and are transported to the FPSO via a 10" pipeline. The pipeline is provided with intelligent pigging facilities. The crude has a pour point temperature of 30°C and cloud point of 48.95°C. Since the crude is being transported within a minimum ambient sea temperature of 22°C, there is the potential of wax accumulation and oil gelling inside the pipeline. The wax built up will be controlled by regular pigging of the pipeline in order to prevent flow restrictions and the pig sticking. The pigging frequency must be determined based on field operating experience but may need to start off initially once in 21 days (with the wax inhibitor in service) and thereafter based on operating experience.

UTILITY SYSTEMS 7.1.
Instrument/Utility/Fuel Gas System
7.1.1. System Description Instrument/utility/Fuel gas on TPDP-A is supplied from the gaslift header. The Gas Conditioning System comprises of the following: •
Preheaters E-5810 A/B
•
Scrubber V-5820
•
Coalescers S-5830 A/B.
The conditioned gas is used as instrument gas to the various users including the WHCP, as utility gas to the gas driven pumps (corrosion inhibitor, wax dissolver, chemical transfer and open drain pump), for the microturbines, for the multiphase pumps gas engines, for the crude heater unit and purge gas to the vent system. 2x16 nitrogen bottle racks are provided at the Instrument/Utility Gas header to allow for black start-up and during start-up after an ESD and as back-up to instrument/purge gas. During SIPROD mode, the instrument/utility gas is replaced by compressed air from drilling rig via hose connection at main deck. The necessary valves to be isolated and the drop out spool removed on the IG/UG header for positive isolation when compressed air is to be introduced from Rig. The fuel gas is continued to feed to the multiphase pump gas engine if required and to the crude heater unit.
7.1.1.1. Instrument/Utility/Fuel Gas Supply Normal utility/instrument/fuel gas supply is from the gaslift header. Gas is routed to the Gas Conditioning Package. Within the Gas Conditioning Package, gas is preheated by 2 x 100% preheaters (usually operated as 2 x 50% in parallel) prior to pressure let down to 130 psig by 2 x 100% pressure control valves, PCV-5820A/B (normally only one PCV is opened and the other acts as hot standby if the first fails to maintain the pressure). The gas is then routed to the Scrubber. Any liquid knockedout is routed under on/off level control to the closed drain system. The gas then passes through 2 x 100% Coalescers and is supplied to the utility/instrument/fuel gas distribution header. P5173B-PR-MAN-1001
PAGE 84 OF 146
REV 0 / February 09
rnz integrated (m) sdn. bhd (325798-X) TOPAZ DEVELOPMENT PROJECT START UP AND OPERATING MANUAL 7.1.1.2. Utility Gas Preheaters E-5810A/B The preheaters are horizontal cylindrical vessels made of stainless steel. The gas is preheated from 22°C to 75°C. In the event one heater trips, the respective inlet SDV will close and the required heating duty will be supplied by the other heater. The 2 x 100% pressure control valves, PCV-5820 A/B, will let down the pressure to 130 psig prior to entering Scrubber. Each heater is protected from overpressure due to external fire. Either one of the two heaters can be isolated for online maintenance.
7.1.1.3. Scrubber V-5820 The Scrubber is a vertical vessel provided with demister. In the scrubber, the gas velocity is reduced and gravity separation of free liquid contained in the gas stream, if any, occurs with the liquid collecting at the bottom of the vertical vessel. The utility gas leaves the top of the vessel after passing through the demister which removes the remaining entrained liquid droplets by encouraging them to coalesce and fall to the base of the vessel. The collected liquid is drained from the vessel to the closed drain system under on-off level control by LlCA-5820 (H/L) acting upon LCV-5820. A shut down valve SDV-5820 which closes upon the low low level detection by LZALL-5821, is located upstream of the level control valve. The scrubber is protected by 2 x 100% pressure relief valves, PSV5820A/B, set to relief pressure to the Vent Header when pressure in the scrubber reaches 270 psig. The sizing of the PSVs is governed by relief in the event of control valve (PCV-5820A/B) failure. The PCVs are sized such that the maximum flow through the wide open valves both together is limited to 3 MMSCFD. The scrubber also acts as buffer vessel for the instrument gas in the event the lift gas supply is suddenly stopped. This allows for the safe shutdown of the platform.

rnz integrated (m) sdn. bhd (325798-X) TOPAZ DEVELOPMENT PROJECT START UP AND OPERATING MANUAL 7.1.1.4. Coalescers S-5830A/B From the scrubber, the gas is fed through 2 x 100% Coalescers S-5830 A/B, to remove any particulate matter and further coalescing liquids from the gas stream. These are vertical cylindrical vessels with removable coalescing elements. The gas enters the filter below the element where any free liquid is separated by gravity and drained from the filter base to the closed drain system by an auto-drainer. Any liquid coalesced by the filter element is collected in the lower part of the top section of the filter and need to be drained to the closed drain system manually. A differential pressure indicator/alarm is provided across the coalescing element. The Coalescers are protected from overpressure by relief valves PSV5830A/B respectively, set at 271 psig relieving to the Vent Header. The sizing of the PSVs is governed by relief due to liquid and/or gas expansion in the event of fire. Either one of two filters can be isolated for online maintenance.
7.1.1.5. Nitrogen Supply For black start-up and subsequent start-up after ESD/PSD/USD, when gaslift gas is not yet available, nitrogen is supplied from 2 x 16 bottle racks at 150 psig. Nitrogen is then fed directly into the instrument/utility gas header. The necessary isolation valve and check valve are provided at the upstream of the nitrogen tapping on the instrument/utility gas header. This minimizes the N2 displacement duration prior to start-up of MTG, multiphase pump gas engine and crude heater unit. A separate nitrogen line is provided from the N2 bottles at high pressure to pressurize the gas lift riser SDV-0610 downstream up to the manual isolation valve (a small spool piece) before it is opened. This is to avoid valve damage by opening against a high delta pressure after the shutdown (down stream depressurized). The same nitrogen is also used as purge gas during the above scenario.

7.1.1.6. SIPROD Whilst the drilling rig is on location for SIPROD, the instrument control system is operated by compressed air from drilling rig supplying into the instrument/utility gas header. The necessary valves to be isolated and the drop out spool removed on the IG/UG header for positive isolation when compressed air is to be introduced from Rig. When the instrument/utility gas supply is switched back to hydrocarbon gas after SIPROD, nitrogen from the bottle racks can be fed into the instrument/utility gas header (with the drop out spool in place) to purge the systems prior to the introduction of gas. Similarly, nitrogen purging of the system is also needed prior to SIPROD to displace hydrocarbon gas before the introduction of compressed air into the system. 7.1.2. Detailed Start-up Procedure Purpose This procedure describes the required actions to prepare the gas conditioning system prior to start-up for safe and efficient operations. The following start-up scenarios will be detailed here: 1. Initial start-up 2. Start-up during SIPROD 3. Post SIPROD start-up Reference Refer to the following Process and Instrument Diagrams (P&IDs) whilst carrying out this procedure: These P&IDs for the vendor package are indicative only and are assumed to be modified based on the final vendor P&IDs/inputs. •

Check the crane fuel day tank and diesel generator fuel day tank for water by opening the drain valves and closing them when clean diesel shows at the drain. 3. Check the diesel inventory so as to identify when top up of the system is required. 4. Check the system for leaks, ensuring that all drain valves are closed.
7.2.3. Taking Diesel Storage Tank Out of Service for Inspection The following procedure describes the actions required to empty T-6700 for inspection: 1. To empty T-6700, start Diesel Transfer Pump to fill up DEG fuel day tank and/or crane fuel day tank as much as possible. 2. Open valve VB-64064 and 64065 to drain remaining diesel inventory into the closed drain system for containment. 3. The diesel tank T-6700 is now emptied and out of service. The vessel should be flushed with water to remove hydrocarbon prior to removal of the inspection hatch.
7.2.4. Gel Breaking Procedure During an extended unplanned shutdown i.e. ESD or ESD-F/G, there is the potential of gel formation in the subsea pipeline if operators are not able to perform any wax mitigation methods in time. In case of gel formation, diesel injection system can be utilised to supply the required pressure to break the gel formed in the line. Outlined below is the preparation and procedure to break the gel formed in the pipeline.
To break gel in the export pipeline proceed as follows: 1. Ensure that PIV-6700 at the diesel injection pump discharge to pipeline is set as 700-800 psig and the spill back is routed to the diesel storage tank. Initially the set pressure is kept low. If there is still no break through then increase the PIC-6700 setting so as to put higher pressure to break/dislodge the gel.

rnz integrated (m) sdn. bhd (325798-X) TOPAZ DEVELOPMENT PROJECT START UP AND OPERATING MANUAL 7.10.1.1.Closed Drain Vessel Operation Closed drain vessel collects liquid discharges from the closed drain header and vent header. The closed drain vessel also acts as a knock out drum before the hydrocarbon gas is disposed to atmosphere. Collected hydrocarbon liquids are pumped by closed drain transfer pumps to the production header, while hydrocarbon gas is routed from the vessel to the platform vent. The closed drain vessel is- required to operate normally as a two phase separator. It is also provided with sand jetting connection to be used during shutdown. During sand jetting the contents can be discharged to open drain system as well as collected manually in drums.
7.10.1.2.Closed Drain Transfer Pumps Closed drain transfer pumps, P-6410A/B are provided to transfer collected liquids back to the production system. Two electric motor driven pumps that require low NPSH and offer stable and robust operation are selected for this service. The pumps operate in lead/lag configuration and on/off mode based on liquid level setting.
7.10.1.3.Closed Drain Vessel Heater The closed drain vessel is also equipped with an electric heater, E-6430 to continuously maintain the bulk hydrocarbon liquid temperature to about 45-50°C (above crude pour point). Since the vessel is not continuously receiving the warm fluids, the collected hydrocarbon liquid may fall to the minimum ambient to form oil gel and wax. For this reason, the heater is provided. High temperature trip is provided should the temperature of bulk liquid exceed 55°C. This heater is located in the boot of the vessel where the remaining liquid can be effectively heated. The heater operates on on-off mode based on the temperature of liquid in the boot.

Both systems are classified hazardous as both provide drainage for areas designed as hazardous. In the caisson, hydrocarbons separate and float on top of the water displacing clean water out of the open bottom of the caisson. Recovery of the hydrocarbon is by the open drain pump, P-6510 which is located on the sump deck. Liquid hydrocarbons collected in the open drain caisson are pumped back to the closed drain vessel. The pump is a positive displacement gas driven type. Any hydrocarbon gases evolving in the open drain caisson are released to atmosphere via a flame arrestor and dedicated vent. 7.10.1.5. Open Drain Pump Operation of the open drain pump, P-6510 is automatic and intermittent. Should the open drain pump start-up during well unloading then the inflow to the closed drain vessel will exceed the pump out rate. This situation can be handled either by reducing the liquid inventory in the closed drain vessel to a minimum prior to commencing well unloading, or by inhibiting start-up of the open drain pump during well unloading.
7.10.2. Closed Drain System Start-up Procedure Purpose The purpose of this procedure is to describe the start-up of the closed and open drain system. Scope This document applies to all activities required to be performed to operate the drains including personnel responsibilities and safety considerations.

Prior to starting heater, E-6430, ensure that the liquid level in the closed drain vessel is at LAL of 450 mm. For initial system start-up, the vessel may be first filled with diesel to LAL to check the heater operation. 2. Switch on the heater to maintain the temperature inside the vessel at about 50°C. In normal operation the heater will switch on-off automatically to maintain the temperature. 3. Check that as the liquid level in the vessel rises up to 1000 mm (from boot BTL), the lead pump will start. If the level still rises, then the lag pump will start at a level of 1500 mm (from boot BTL). 4. The pumps will automatically stop once the level decreases to 750 mm. This ensures the liquid is contained only in the boot and the heater is immersed in liquid. 5. In case the pumps do not trip at 750 mm level, they will trip on LZALL set at 150 mm.
7.10.3.SIPROD Mode Operation During SIPROD mode, the closed drain system operates with the same procedure as normal operation.
For conversion to SIPROD mode
operation, open drain header with swing spool is switched to overboard disposal for the deck drains.

MISCELLANEOUS OPERATION PROCEDURES 8.1.
Crude Sampling Procedure An accurate and detailed analysis of a crude oil sample is worthless if the sample is not representative of the product. Before flushing of the sample point and collection of the samples are performed, all hot work in the area should be stopped and equipment made safe. All personnel on the platform should be informed of the situation and gas alarm should be isolated. If a metal container is used to collect the flushed oil or sample, the container should be earthed to prevent sparks due to static electricity which may be generated in the line. Sampling should be performed at a recognised sample point with a good unrestricted flow from the flow line. Before the sample is collected, the sample line must be flushed with fresh oil and allowed to warm through to be the same temperature as the flow line. This action ensures that the collected sample is fresh and any residues in the sample line, such as sand or wax is removed. Flushing should be performed to a suitable container, preferably plastic, rather than the platform open drains. When conditions are stable, the sample should be drawn slowly with no foaming or undue agitation. Light ends are lost easily and will affect the results of the analysis. Perform sand, pour point and B&W test as and when required to verify the well test result (MPFM).

8.4.
Choke Bean-up Procedures When a well has been shut in even for a short period, separation of the well fluids take place in the production tubing results in a gas cap at the tree and the heavier fluids in the well tubing. As the well starts to flow the column of separated fluids rises through the tubing modifying the hydraulics of the well and affecting the Bottom Hole Pressure (BHP). Flow from the tubing results in draw down at the perforations as fluid is drawn down into the well which also results in a fall in BHP. A further effect on the well is the back pressure applied by the choke as the fluid passing through the choke changes from gas to oil/water and on to a combination of three. When the well is brought on line it is important to adjust the well choke in such a way as to avoid sudden changes in flow which could result in pressure changes at the perforations.
A reduction in BHP can release
more gas if the pressure falls below the bubble point, and will result in sand production if the lower BHP threshold is exceeded. The stages for beaning up the choke are as follows: Stage 1 The choke should be cracked open, not more than 10%, to bleed the gas cap from the tubing. The Tubing Head Pressure (THP) will fall as the liquid column rises in the tubing. If the pressure approaches the minimum set by reservoir engineering, reduce the choke setting to maintain pressure. Stage 2 As the liquid column reaches the choke, indicated by an increase in THP and a change in sound from the choke, slowly open the choke to maintain the well flow rate while keeping the THP choke above the lower limit then hold. As fresh fluid enters the tubing, the pressure will steadily increase as the liquid column lightens. Stage 3 When the tubing head pressure has stabilised, indicating that the tubing is now full of fresh fluids, open the choke in steps, allowing conditions to stabilised between each change. Continue until the required choke P5173B-PR-MAN-1001

REV 0 / February 09
rnz integrated (m) sdn. bhd (325798-X) TOPAZ DEVELOPMENT PROJECT START UP AND OPERATING MANUAL setting is reached, or alternatively until the required flowing pressure is achieved.

9.3.1. Fire Detection Fire detection on the platform is via fusible plug loops. The fusible plug loops are installed in the open process/utility areas for storage, production or processing of combustible gas or liquid. Fusible plug loops in TPDP-A are driven by instrument gas. For normal applications, plugs melt at 70°C. For applications where the ambient temperature or temperature of the equipment being protected is likely to affect the fusible plug, then higher melting fusible plug will have its temperature setting hard stamped on the fitting body. Activation of a fusible plug is detected by pressure transmitters in the loop wired to the integrated SIS/PMCS/FGS system. Three pressure transmitters are utilised for two out of three (2oo3) voting scheme. Visual flame detector using pattern recognition technology is used to detect fire at the vent boom.
9.3.2. Gas Detection Point type gas detectors are provided at the wellhead and manifold area to facilitate gas detection. The gas detection is for alarming and shutdown.
The gas detectors are hardwired to the integrated
SIS/PMCS/FGS system. The point type gas detectors are mounted near the potential leakage sources, such as flanges. Location of the gas detectors is also taken into account the wind direction and the aspect of accessibility for operation and maintenance. All detectors are accessible for

Logic for Wellhead Control Panel The wellhead control logic in the integrated SIS/PMCS/FGS includes all wellhead valves sequencing control for well start-up (locally and remotely) and shutdown. The WHCP follows a fail safe design such that loss of hydraulic supply shall result in release of actuating medium pressure and sequentially timer based closure of SSV and SCSSVs. The WHCP interfaces with the integrated SIS/PMCS/FGS via hardwired signals. Pushbutton is provided at the WHCP for local commands. A WHCP pushbutton command signals are relayed to the integrated SIS/PMCS/FGS via hardwired for consecutive action performed by the wellhead control logic in the integrated SIS/PMCS/FGS. The SIS is used to perform the logic for controlling the sequential opening and closing of the SSVs and SCSSVs associated with the production wellheads on TPDP-A platform. Contact inputs from pushbuttons in the WHCP initiate the individual valve operation and SIS outputs energize electric solenoid in the WHCP to stroke the valves.

FIRE AND SAFETY SYSTEM 10.1.
General Safety Precautions
10.1.1.Fire and Accident Prevention The prevention of fires and accidents on the platform depends upon: •
Good design.
•
Continuous control and monitoring of the process, through the automatic and manual control systems and equipment to detect failures such as gas detectors.
•
Through strict control of work activities, through the Permit to Work system and HSEMS.
The process instrumentation automatically controls the process within set operating limits. If the operating parameters drift outside of these set limits a shut down is initiated to a level determined by the nature of the problem. Control of work is by the use of the Permit to Work system which ensures that personnel involved fully understand the safety requirements and that a safe work environment is provided in which the task can be performed. To ensure that equipment installed on the platform is suitable for the environment the platform is divided into areas classified from IP 15 as follows: •
Hazardous Area, Zone 0

rnz integrated (m) sdn. bhd (325798-X) TOPAZ DEVELOPMENT PROJECT START UP AND OPERATING MANUAL The part of a hazardous area in which a flammable atmosphere is continuously present or present for long periods. •
Hazardous Area, Zone 1 The part of a hazardous area in which a flammable atmosphere is likely to occur in normal operation.
•
Hazardous Area, Zone 2 That part of a hazardous area in which a flammable atmosphere is not likely to occur in normal operation, and if it occurs.-will exist only for a short period. An area is designated as non-hazardous if an explosive gas/air mixture is not expected to be present in such quantities that special precautions are required. Effective training of personnel in operation and safety techniques and a program for planned maintenance and inspection are the best methods of accident prevention.
10.1.2.Hazardous Gas Events The platform ventilation system design maximises the use of natural ventilation in all open areas. The personnel shelter located at the cellar deck is in the safe area. 10.1.3. Lifesaving Arrangements Currently located on the platform is two numbers of 12-man inflatable lift rafts located at the South East and North West corner of the cellar deck, for use of means of escape, in the event of a fire on board. Embarkation into the lift rafts is by emergency rope ladder, where no fixed ladders are provided. 48 nos of lifejackets are also stored in stainless steel containers near the life rafts. Each container contains 12 nos of lifejackets and located at the strategic positions on all decks of the platform. There are 13 life buoys to assist in rescuing a man from the sea. Where personnel might come into contact with hazardous chemicals e.g. at the chemical transfer area at main deck and chemical injection skid area at cellar deck, a self contained and fixed emergency safety shower and eye wash stations are provided respectively.

The exact location of the equipment is shown on Equipment Layout Drawings in Appendix-II.
10.1.4.Alarm and Shutdown Visual and audio alarms are provided at strategic location on the platform. These alarms are indicated upon fire and gas detected.
10.1.5.Safety Shutdown Philosophy The process shutdown functions of TPDP-A wellhead platform is implemented via Safety Instrumented System (SIS) for safe shutdown of the platform. Automatic shutdown of a process unit and/or the overall platform is initiated once the process sensors are triggered due to process abnormalities within the process system and/or by the fire and gas detection by FGS. The manual shutdown can be activated locally using the manual pushbutton located on the Integrated PMCS/SIS/FGS System or remotely using the "soft" pushbutton from the operator station on- FPSO via the communication link. WHCP serves to operate and control the hydraulic system of the wellhead safety valves e.g. SSV and SCSSV for each well string. By having the wellhead control logic performed in the Integrated PMCS/SIS/FGS System, the WHCP only acts as the hydraulic interface. The Integrated PMCS/SIS/FGS System interfaces with the WHCP via hardwired signals for SSV(s)/SCSSV(s) status and open/close command and the hydraulic system status. Remote control capabilities from OWS on FPSO are provided for the following: •
Initiation of ESD with blowdown, ESD without blowdown and PSD of
TPDP-A platform •
Reset and restart of USD and PSD for TPDP-A from the FPSO when it is safe to do so (local reset is required for a shutdown due to ESD).

There are no automatic shutdown interface between new FPSO and TPDP-A. All trips initiated due to upset of the new FPSO facilities have no automatic executive action on TPDP-A. Any trips on the TPDP-A platform also have no automatic executive action on the new FPSO. In the event of ESD or PSD on the new FPSO, manual initiation of PSD on TPDP-A from soft key push button at FPSO HMI is required.

Fire Precautions
10.2.1. Fire Fighting The requirements for effective fire fighting are as follows: •
Personnel should be familiar with fire fighting equipment and posses the necessary skills to use it effectively.
•
Establishment of fully trained fire fighting teams.
The instruction and training in fire fighting bring attention to the following general points: •
Organisation and methods for fire fighting, classification of fires and methods of extinguishing
•
Knowledge of the materials and equipment
•
Types of detection and alarm signals
•
Measure to control escalation of fires and to provide the water supply (during SIPROD only) for fire fighting etc.
Drills should be held regularly using various realistic scenarios where the fire fighting team operates the equipment and familiarise themselves thoroughly the layout of the platform. Drills must be held at least as frequent as the regulations specify. The drills should be entered in detail in the platform log book. All personnel working on the platform should be aware of the location of the life buoys and lift raft station and should know the safe access route to these stations.

Ignition Sources Electrical systems which could produce a spark of sufficient energy to ignite a flammable gas mixture are protected in accordance with IEC 60079. Surface temperatures of other equipment are treated in the same way and are reduced by insulation or by cooling the contents of the system where practicable. The hot exhausts from combustion equipments are considered as potential sources of ignition. To eliminate this problem, all exhausts are taken to the edge of a non-hazardous area and extended into this nonhazardous area by minimum of 1 meter. Flame arrestors are available on open areas. Within a hazardous area, the maximum external surface temperatures of equipment, piping systems and exhausts are limited to 200°C. Other potential sources of ignition which may be present in hazardous areas during the project such as welding or gas cutting are controlled by the Permit to Work system.
Electrical Equipment Electrical equipment installed in a hazardous area is certified for the use in the appropriate zone classification and comply with the requirement of IEC 60079. The equipment is certified with minimum temperature classification of T3 (200°C) maximum surface temperature. The electrical equipment is classified for use in the presence of group IIA gases.
Mechanical Equipment All mechanical equipment installed in hazardous areas is manufactured to ensure the rotating parts are non-sparking and adequately protected against the generation of a static charge. Surface temperatures shall not exceed 200°C. The use of aluminium is restricted. 10.2.3. Fire Prevention P5173B-PR-MAN-1001

rnz integrated (m) sdn. bhd (325798-X) TOPAZ DEVELOPMENT PROJECT START UP AND OPERATING MANUAL Fire is a present risk and PREVENTION is better than cure. Most fires may be prevented simply by attending to the following: •
Proper storage of flammable materials both solids and liquids
•
Good house keeping by keeping all areas clean and tidy
•
The correct use of electrical equipment
•
Being conscious of the risk and observing the relevant regulations
There are three requirements to enable fire to exist: FUEL, OXYGEN and HEAT. The basic way of fighting a fire is to remove one of these requirements: •
By removing the FUEL Such as removing fuel from a burning tank to shorten the duration of fire
•
By preventing the supply of OXYGEN By covering with a bore blanket or spreading the dense foam over the burning material.
•
By reducing the HEAT
By using a cooling medium, such as water to reduce the temperature of a material to a point where combustion ceases. The most successful fire fighting techniques use a combination of two or all of these methods though any one will reduce the intensity of fire. When a flammable mixture of petroleum vapour burns, the mixture expands. On an open deck the rapidly expanding gases quickly dissipate without resistance. In a tank or other enclosed space, the rapidly expanding gases are confined, the resulting instantaneous built up of pressure results in mechanical failure releasing more fuel and explosion. Hydrocarbon fires start very easily and once started they are difficult to extinguish. To prevent hydrocarbon fires and explosion, mixtures of hydrocarbon vapour and air must NEVER be allowed to come into contact with sources of ignition. 10.2.4. General Procedures P5173B-PR-MAN-1001

REV 0 / February 09
rnz integrated (m) sdn. bhd (325798-X) TOPAZ DEVELOPMENT PROJECT START UP AND OPERATING MANUAL Platform personnel must: •
Know the location of all emergency equipment
•
Know when and how to use alternative emergency equipment
•
Maintain all emergency equipment in a clean and operable condition ready for immediate use
•
Ensure the drainage system for liquid spills are kept clear at all times to limit pool fire size
Fire may be controlled and extinguished using the following: •
Water Water is used primarily on fires involving wood and papers as in domestic fires. If water is to be used on hydrocarbon fires, it should be applied in the form of fine spray. If too much water is used on a hydrocarbon fire, the fire could be spread as the burning oil floats away on the water. Water should not be used on electrical fires until it has been ascertained that the power supplies are cut off.
•
Dry chemical powders Dry chemical is suitable for most types of fire and is provided in portable appliances located at strategic points around the platform. When dry powder is used to extinguish an oil fire, re-ignition is extremely likely. Application to an oil fire should be followed by foam or water spray to ensure that fire does not re-ignite. Dry chemical is effective against electrical fires and suitable as there is no danger of electric shock. However, the chemical may leave a powdery deposit on electrical contacts.
•
Carbon Dioxide Carbon dioxide is suitable for electrical fire and enclosed area and is provided at instrument area, Electrical area and shelter.
•
Foam Solution Foam solution is suitable for hydrocarbon fire and spills and is provided in portable appliances located at strategic location around the platform.

REV 0 / February 09
rnz integrated (m) sdn. bhd (325798-X) TOPAZ DEVELOPMENT PROJECT START UP AND OPERATING MANUAL If a hazardous situation develops on the platform resulting in an ESD, the Sr. Wellhead Operator ensures that all work sites have been made safe. In the case of a gas escape there are visual and audible alarms activated with automatic shutdown so it is the responsibility of the individual identifying the situation to initiate an ESD pushbutton manually at the SIS or manual ESD stations around the escape route and inform the nominated supervisor of the situation. There are visual and audible alarms on the platform so if the hazardous situation occurs, the nominated supervisor must ensure he has communication links with ALL personnel on the installation and all personnel are accounted for. The Sr. Wellhead Operator should inform the FPSO of the situation and any casualties then organise his resources to correct the situation be it fire or process incident, using the emergency equipment available on board, without further risk to life or limb. If the incident escalates a decision is made by the nominated Sr. Wellhead Operator to evacuate all personnel from the platform. To do this he will call in the field support vessel and organise a muster of all personnel on the boat landing to ensure everyone are assembled at the boat landing transfer to the field support vessel can commence. 11.0
