CONSTRUCTION OF POWER DISTRIBUTION NETWORK FOR ESP WELLS
ASSOCIATED WITH 11kV AREA SUBSTATIONS 1 AND 2 IN S&EK AREA

PART I – GENERAL

1. INTRODUCTION

1.1 The Works comprise execution of the power distribution network for the Oil Wells in
South & East Kuwait (S&EK) for supplying power to the Artificial Lift well Pumps
(electro-submersible pumps - ESP, sucker rod pumps - SRP and progressive cavity
pumps -PCP) installed in the existing oil wells or planned for installation in future
oil wells. The Works shall be complete with all associated facilities and related Work
as described in the Contract, and the provision of work deemed necessary to provide
the Company with safe, operable and maintainable facilities.

1.2 Briefly, the facilities covered in the Works include the following:

a) Power distribution network from 11 kV Area substations (constructed by other

contractors) to a number of new wellhead substations;

b) New outdoor wellhead substations near oil wells, comprising 11 kV ring main
unit switchgear/feeder pillar and step-down transformers for artificial lift pump
power supply and wellhead substation auxiliary power supply, together with
distribution board and associated works as described in the contract.

c) Wellhead substation fencing, equipment sunshade/rain shade, foundations, etc.

d) Wellhead substation small power DB, sockets, earthing, etc.

e) Fire safety equipment (manual fire extinguishers, windsocks with mounting posts
etc.)

1.3 The Works include Site survey, slit trenching survey and geo-technical investigations,
design and engineering, procurement and supply of materials, shop inspection of
materials, transportation of materials and equipment to Site, construction and
installation, testing, pre-commissioning, commissioning, performance acceptance
testing, providing QA/QC, HSE and project management services, training of
Company personnel as more particularly described in the Contract.

1.4 This Technical Specification does not intend to exhaustively list out every

2. PROJECT OBJECTIVE AND GENERAL DETAILS

2.1 The Company has planned the execution of power network with approximately 100
nos. artificial lift well pumps connected in 17 nos. loops (tentatively) to 11kV ESP
Area Substation 1 (30 MW capacity, constructed by another contractor) receiving
power from 11 kV Main intake substation ‘MG2’ (48 MW capacity, constructed by
another contractor); and 60 nos. artificial lift well pumps connected in 8 nos. loops
(tentatively) to 11kV ESP Area Substation 2 (10 MW capacity, constructed by
another contractor) receiving power from 11 kV Main intake substation ‘B2’ (72 MW
capacity, existing substation.
2.2 The Company does not guarantee that the number of wells included in in the Contract
for the power distribution scheme shall be exactly the same as described in the
Contract.
2.3 The overall power distribution scheme consists of Main Intake Substations (built /
under construction by other contractors) feeding power at 11 kV to the ESP Area
substations (built by other contractors), which in turn will power the downstream
wellhead RMU substations.
2.4 The Contractor shall distribute 11kV power from the ESP Area substations to the
various wellhead Ring Main Unit (RMU) substations in remote areas. The RMU
substations, built by the Contractor, with step-down transformers and switchboards,
shall deliver power to suit the Company’s artificial-lift pumps, with due consideration
of voltage, power, motor starting voltage drops, short circuit current levels, impact of
harmonic voltage/current, so as to ensure reliable power supply of the required rating
and quality. The prime objective is to ensure proper integration of the wellhead RMU
substations with the upstream ESP Area Substations and the Main Intake Substations,
so that the artificial lift pumps (currently powered through local generators), when
switched over to MEW power supply (through Main intake substation and ESP Area
substations) operate reliably and safely.
2.5 Out of the total number of wells in the Contract, about 80% wells are in service with
artificial-lift pumps powered through local diesel generator sets, about 10% of the
wells currently ready for installation of artificial-lift pumps, and balance 10% of the
wells will be drilled in future. This is tentative and shall be as per Site condition.
2.6 The tentative ratings of artificial lift pump motors in South and East Kuwait area are
specified in Appendix 2 to Technical Specification Part I. The ratings of motors are
current and could change in future. The Company shall provide the latest pump data
during the detailed design stage. All motor details / drives/ locations of wells shall be
finalized during detailed engineering.

(CONT’D)

8.3 General Selection Criteria for Wellhead Substation Site

8.3.1 For powering up existing Artificial Lift Pumps in a 1 to 1 configuration (1 substation

feeding 1 Artificial lift pump), the proposed RMU well head substation will be at
suitable location close to the existing VSD controller / Motor starter. For
configuration of substations different from 1 is to 1, or for powering up future
Artificial Lift wells, the proposed substation shall be installed at a suitable optimum
location as approved by Company.

8.3.2 There should be no buried services at the wellhead substation Sites (confirmed by the
Contractor through slit trenching survey). Determine prospective Sites by visual
survey and agree with Company prior to carrying out slit trench survey. No flow-line
corridor can pass through substation Site.

8.3.3 In case there are buried cables (but not pipes) at a Site, the preferred method is to
locate the substation Site away from the buried cables. In case this is not possible, as
agreed with Company, then Contractor shall protect the cables. In no case can buried
pipelines pass inside the wellhead substation Site.

8.3.4 The substation site shall maintain adequate safe distance from nearby services and
facilities (flow line corridors, pipelines, overhead power lines, GC/BS, burn pits, oil
lakes, oil wells etc.) as established by HSE, PSM or other team study.

8.3.5 Substation terrain shall be flat with natural storm water drainage. There should be no
hills, depressions, uneven land, voids, collection of sand etc. near to the substation
sites. Land should be hard ground and not unstable or soft, sandy soil. Further, oil
leakage from oil wells shall not flow towards the substation sites (check for terrain
slope).

8.3.6 Decide on the orientation of the substation installation considering the prevailing
wind directions.

8.3.7 No vegetation or bushes/shrubs should be growing at the proposed substation sites.

8.3.8 Water table should be low level (confirmed by the Contractor through borehole
survey).

8.3.9 The Contractor shall confirm absence of buried services at the proposed RMU
wellhead Sites through slit trenching survey and scanning of area with metal
detectors.

8.4 General Guidelines for Safe Distance Between Outdoor Substations and Nearby
Facilities

8.4.1 General

8.4.1.1 The guidelines provided hereunder are for guidance only, and Contractor shall
confirm them as part of detail engineering.

8.4.1.2 Clause 5.3.2 of Company’s standard KOC.GE.011 (HSE Procedure for Exploration,
Drilling & Work-Over Operations) stipulates safe distances as follows:

a) Between overhead power lines and Wellhead – 150 m

b) Between overhead power lines and Burn/Flare pit – 50 m
c) Between underground cables and flare pits – 15 m

8.4.1.3 The above procedure KOC.GE.011 does not have any criteria specifically for outdoor
substations. Note that the outdoor substation has underground cables and not overhead
power line. A safe spacing of about 150 m between substation and wellhead is
reasonable; but Artificial Lift Team has indicated a spacing of about 120-130 meter
(maximum) from wellhead, and the project will follow this distance criterion. The safe
distance between substation and Burn/Flare pit will be 95 m.

8.4.1.4 KOC-L-028, Appendix-1 (Spacing chart-2) stipulates a minimum spacing of 30 meters

between transit pipelines and substations. Similarly, Appendix-1 (Spacing chart-1)
stipulates a minimum spacing of 30 m between plant process pipe-ways and
substations. Considering these requirements, the locations of the substations should be
at least 30 meters from any pipelines and flow lines and as per PSM team’s advice.

8.4.1.5 KOC-L-028, clause 8.21, stipulates a minimum spacing of 60 m between overhead

electric power line and KOC plant or facility. Considering this requirement, the
location of substation should be at least 60 m from any overhead power line.

8.4.1.6 The KOC Standards and HSE procedures do not indicate the safe distance between
substation and oil lakes (‘dry’ or ‘wet’). The project considers a safe distance of 30
meters.

8.4.1.7 The KOC Standards and HSE procedures do not indicate the safe distance between
substation and Rig road. The project considers a safe distance of 25 meters.

13. FACILITY COMPLETION AND ACCEPTANCE (CONT’D)

13.2 Punch List Procedure

The procedure for punch list outlined below applies to non-operational Works as
well as operational works.

The Company will verify Contractor’s work in stages/ activities. Each stage/
activity is acceptable if there are no major punch points. A punch point is a
deficiency related to an item of work that is incomplete or defective or not meeting
the specified requirements.

With this definition, the ‘punch point’ is a ‘non-conforming’ item but not a ‘major
non-conforming’ item.

The essential difference between ‘punch point’ and ‘major non-conformance’ is as

follows:

 A punch point is a ‘simple non-conformance’ that can be resolved by the first

line of site supervisors and engineers through site inspections and verification
and does not involve any major design or construction issue requiring a
systematic due diligence exercise.

 A ‘major non-conformance’ is a non-conformance, other than a punch point,

the resolution of which would require a due diligence exercise at senior
engineers level, with systematic documentation, as per Company standard
KOC-Q-014.

Punch list categories for a particular stage of activity will be as follows:

Category (A) - Deficiency that is safety related, and punch item rectified
immediately before further work can proceed.

Category (B) - Deficiency that is operation related and the punch item
rectified at a later date but prior to the next stage of activity.

Category (C) - Deficiency which is non-safety and non-operational related,

and rectification can be delayed beyond the next stage

13.3 General Procedure for Facility Completion and Acceptance

13.3.1 For non-operational Works, the Company will carry out stage wise inspections. The
Contractor shall have approved checklists for such inspections. Company’s Site
Supervisor will sign off the inspection checklists.

Stage wise inspection includes punch listing. Contractor shall close the punch lists
at the appropriate time based on the category (A, B, C).

13. FACILITY COMPLETION AND ACCEPTANCE (CONT’D)

The Contractor shall carry out the relevant tests as per Technical Specification,
Company’s standards, and codes, including concrete cube tests, steel tests, and
waterproofing tests etc. and obtain Company’s approval.

The Company will accept substantial completion of the Works after verifying that
work is complete in accordance with approved drawings and procedures, results of
HSE reviews (PHSER 3 & PHSER 4) incorporated, and inspection and test results
are satisfactory, with punch list handled as per the procedure outlined herein.

13.3.2 For Electrical Works, the facility completion and acceptance procedure will
include:-

 Walk-through installation-completion checks with punch listing;

 System completion checks;
 Site acceptance tests (SAT) and pre-commissioning;
 Commissioning;

Walk-through inspection involves physical verification of the installed facility.

Punch listing is to identify incomplete work or deficient work. The Contractor shall
act upon the punch list based on the category (A, B or C).

System completion denotes proper installation with the required engineering and
technical support to enable moving to the next stage (SAT).

SAT includes inspections and tests of each equipment/ system forming part of the
complete facility.

Pre-commissioning involves functional tests of interfaces and overall operation

checks of the complete facility

Commissioning involves energizing and operation of the complete facility with

electrical power.

General requirements are in Technical Specification Part-II- Electrical Works.

13.4.2 The Contractor’s site supervisory personnel are responsible for ensuring HSE issues
as well as quality of site works.

13.4.3 The Company’s site supervisory personnel will carry out daily inspections as part of
work permit procedures. However, such inspections are mainly to ensure absence of
major safety risks and not for ensuring quality of construction Works.

13.4.4 The Company representatives will carry out Site inspections on weekly basis to
audit work quality and HSE issues (if any). However, such inspections will not
diminish Contractor’s responsibility towards quality and HSE.

13.4.5 Company’s representatives may carry out formal or informal site audits. Such audits
will mainly focus on HSE issues. However, Contractor’s responsibility towards
quality and HSE will not diminish.

13.4.6 Walk-through inspections are for checking of physical completeness and acceptance
of physical installation and different from other inspections (like material tests,
cable tests etc.) required by Contract.

13.4.7 The Contractor shall liaise with Company’s representatives and schedule the walk-
through inspections. The Company expects that there would be a series of walk-
through inspections instead of only a final walk-through inspection. However, the
Contractor cannot expect the Company to agree to an unrealistically high number of
such inspections. Company may agree to site inspection only when the equipment,
system or sub-system is substantially complete.

13.4.8 In any case, final walk-through inspection is required for all the facilities.

13.4.9 For installations requiring field decision making, the Contractor shall involve the
Company’s site supervisor before installation.
