1.0 INTRODUCTION
ES.D.10 (This document) is QP’s old standard numbering system and will no longer be used in its next
revision.
It shall be noted that this standard will change to Technical Services (EE) approved Standard Numbering System
on it’s next revision. The new Number will be ES.0.06.0015. All QP users of this standard and those who
reference it will be notified of this transition at the time of change. All other cross reference standards will be
revised accordingly.
This standard provides guidelines for the draughting and development of Engineering Data for, or on behalf of,
Qatar Petroleum. This standard shall be applied to all 2D draughting. This standard does not cover requirements
for Handover of Final Project Data. For QP Data Deliverables & Compilation of Project Dossiers refer to
Engineering Standard ES.0.06.0021.
The use, acceptance and handover of 3D data shall be subject to approval of the custodian (Head of Data
Center – EED) . However, the use of 3D data does not relieve the users of this standard to provide 2D
draughting data in the latest QP approved version of AutoCAD files in accordance with this standard.
Note that any changes to this document from its last revision are highlighted by a bold vertical bar to the
left of each area of change. A brief description of the changes can be found in this documents change
history log on page 1.

determined without calculation. If it is deemed necessary to add reference dimensions, then these dimensions
shall be indicated by adding ‘ (REF) ‘ after the dimension.
Dimension lines shall be drawn in a position where they cannot be confused with the subject.
Points to which the dimension lines relate shall be clearly indicated.
All dimension figures shall be written immediately above and along the dimension lines to which they relate so
they may be viewed from the bottom of the drawing or the right hand edge. They should preferably be towards
the centre of the dimension line and be positioned clear of all other lines.

3.17 Dimensioning (Cont’d)
For broken dimension lines see Fig. 2.

3.28 Multi-Sheet Sizes
Multi-sheets are restricted to ‘Original Format” A4 and A3 size only. All sheets of a multi-sheet set shall have the
same size; mixing of different sizes in one multi-sheet set is not allowed.
Drawing sizes above A3 may be used as Multi Sheet Sets but don’t fall under the requirements of section (3.27)
above i.e No cover sheet or revision record sheet is required. Examples of such drawings are location orientated
drawings (Area specific), UEFD’s, P&ID’s (Unit or System Specific), Single Line Diagrams (etc, where in cases
the detail can not be fully arranged entirely on one sheet the subject will continue on the next sheet with proper
cross references and demarcation points. The amount of sheets contained in these sets should be kept to a
minimum.

6.0 CORPORATE NUMBERING SYSTEMS
6.1 Project Numbering System Codes
All plant change requests (PCR’s), miscellaneous work requests (MWR’s) and work scopes involving upgrade to
existing facilities shall request a project number. (Refer section 4). A single contract may involve design work in
separate areas of a facility or the design of separate facilities. In such instances, each area or facility shall have its
own project number. This will ensure logical project drawing groups under a single overall plant-drawing index.
Project numbers form the first four digits of the project numbering system. For detailed structure of the project
numbering system refer to ES.0.07.0014 .
6.2 Master Engineering Record Numbering System Codes
The Master Engineering Record numbering system shall be used for designs of completely new facilities (grass
root projects) see section (10). The Master Engineering Record Numbering system shall be in accordance with
ES.0.07.0014.

7.0 REVISION AND ISSUE REQUIREMENTS
7.1 Revisions General
Each drawing shall have an alpha or numeric revision code indicator, identifying the drawing status. Each
numbered sheet shall have its own revision status indicator and shall be changed whenever an approved alteration
or modification is made from the previous issue/revision.
The letters I, and O shall not be used as revision indicators.
7.2 Description of the Revision / Issue
The date and description of the revision or reason for issue shall be given in the identified space within the Title
Block. The first revision shall be listed on the bottom line and each subsequent issue/revision indicator and
issue/revision description will be identified on the next succeeding line.
When the title of the drawing is altered it shall be mentioned in the revision description.
When a drawing number is changed, it shall maintain the same revision history and the number change shall be
identified in the revision description. This is not applicable when creating a project drawing from background
drawing. (See Section 8.0)
7.3 Revisions to Multi Sheet Data
The revisions for Multi Sheet Data utilising Cover Sheet and Revision Record Sheets shall be for each sheet. For
each revision, the cover sheet and revision record index sheet shall be revised along with each particular revised
sheet(s). All the revised sheets shall bear the same revision indicator irrespective of the last revision indicator on
the individual sheet, i.e. all revised sheets shall bear the same revision indicator as the cover and revision record
sheet.
Where Signatures are applied for approval or checking purposes then only the cover sheet and revision record
sheet shall be signed. This will indicate approval or checked of the sheets contained (or revised) within the multi
sheet set.
Note that only revised sheets within the multi sheet set shall be issued and shall be accompanied with its Cover
sheet and revision record sheet.
7.4 Sequence of Revisions / Issues
When creating drawings it will be necessary to carry out certain review issues in accordance with the
Corporation’s scope and contract requirements.
Each review issue will be monitored on the drawing by using a numerical revision code in the revision box.
Only when a drawing is Approved For Construction (AFC) will it receive an alphabetical revision code. When
project ‘As- Built’ drawings are translated onto the Master Engineering Record the revision indicator shall be the
next available letter.
All projects involved in design and upgrade of existing plants shall use revision code Z regardless of previous
revision to indicate project As-Built. It shall be noted that three revisions shall be constant; namely:
0 - Issued for Comments A - Approved For Construction Z – Project As-Built
The above revisions 0 & A also apply for Grass Root Projects. However the final As-Built revision shall be the
next available revision letter.
All technical changes after ‘Approved For Detailed Design’ require QP approval. Approved changes shall be
recorded using the next revision number indicator. The Project Engineer must maintain a log of all changes.

7.4 Sequence of Revisions / Issues (Con’t)
All technical changes after ‘Approved For Construction’ shall be approved by the appropriate Discipline Engineer
and Project Engineer.. Both approval boxes at the title block shall be signed. Approved changes shall be recorded
using the next revision letter indicator i.e subsequent revsions on AFC drawings will sue Rev B, C, D…Y. The
Project Engineer must maintain a log of all changes.
7.5 Highlighting the revision
Every revision to the drawing shall be highlighted by 'clouding' the affected area(s). A triangle containing the
revision indicator shall be placed outside the revision cloud with one corner of the triangle touching the cloud.
See example in Fig 3.
A Changes.
Fig. 3
To differentiate the rev cloud from the cloud that shows the extent of the project (see section 8.4) the rev cloud
will use layer Rev 1 and cyan colour. Refer to ES.0.01.0015.
7.6 Drawing Review and Issue requirements
The number of copies required, and the procedures for commenting, review and/or approval, shall be in
accordance with requirements of the contract and project specification, which will be stated by QP.
Before any documents and drawings are issued for review they must be checked and signed by qualified
personnel at the originating design source.
Documents and drawings for review shall be issued in logical batches sufficient in scope and detail to provide the
recipient(s) with an overview, including interface of the aspect or unit under consideration.
All document and drawing issues shall be accompanied with a drawing index and submitted using a transmittal
note.
If documents and drawings are issued with ‘holds’, the hold must be clearly identified by surrounding the relevant
area(s) with an inverted cloud. The cloud must refer to a note on the document or drawing explaining the exact
reason for the hold.
‘Issued For Information’ shall be shown on documents or drawings issued for this purpose. (See Section 8.2)
To ensure efficiency in the review activities, the originators of comments are required to explain any comments of
a fundamental nature.
It is important to consult originators of comments when their comments have not been included on the revised
drawing, and where there are contradictory views.
The CAD Signatures shall only be added to the drawings when proof of the wet signed drawing exists.

8.0 THE USE OF BACKGROUND DRAWINGS FOR PROJECT WORK
Master engineering records if available, must be used for background information when producing a project
drawing.
However, it must be noted that due to potential ongoing plant improvements, a master engineering record does not
necessarily accurately reflect the true site status. Therefore, all drawings must be site verified prior to
commencement of detailed design.
A master engineering record in some cases may not be available as a background drawing. In such cases an As-
built project drawing may be used as a background drawing.
8.1 Requesting a Background Drawing
The request for background drawings shall be submitted using form ES.0.08.0002 (See QPR-EE-012). All such
requests require authorization from the applicable QP issuing authority.
8.2 Removing Background Information
The user is responsible for removing from the title block all information pertaining to the background drawing.
The user shall give the drawing a project drawing number (See Section 6.1) before the specific project
information is added. Note that existing documents and drawings required to be ‘Issued For Information’
(See 7.6) shall not be classed as Background data. As such they shall not be converted into project drawings
as defined in this section 8.0. This pertains to Project Documents and Drawings, Master Engineering
Records and Engineering Standards, all of which may be required to be issued for information.
8.3 Project Drawing Number
The user will be assigned a project number, (See Section 6.1) which will form the first part of the project drawing
number. The remainder of the number shall be allocated by the project/contractor/consultant in accordance with
ES.0.07.0014. This number shall remain on the drawings throughout the project life.
8.4 Highlighting the Project
When a project drawing is prepared from a background drawing, the entire area of the project shall be clouded.
This is to indicate, at a glance, the extent of the work. Any revision indicators shall be within this clouded area.
This cloud shall remain on the drawing throughout its project life.
Any subsequent revision indicators shall be shown within this clouded area.
A note shall be added to the drawing to indicate the project extent of work. See Fig. 4 below.
USE THIS DRAWING FOR INFORMATION

WITHIN THE CLOUDED AREAS ONLY
Fig. 4
To differentiate this cloud from a Rev cloud this cloud will use layer PROEXT and colour dark blue. Refer to
ES.0.01.0015.
8.5 Reference to the Background Drawing
When a background drawing is used to create a project drawing, reference must be made to background drawing
and revision status from which it was made. This information shall also be shown on the applicable Drawing
Index.

9.0 PROJECT AS-BUILT DRAWINGS
With the exception of Grass Root Projects (See 7.4) all project drawings shall be revised to reflect the 'As- Built'
status after commissioning using Revision indicator letter Z regardless of previous revision. It shall be noted that
all documents and drawings bearing a project number shall be certified ‘As-Built’ regardless of changes or not
during the construction and commissioning stage and this status shall be reflected in the applicable document and
drawing registers. The drawings shall be signed accepted as 'As-Built' by the following:
1. The Installation Contractor, when applicable

2. The QP Authorized Site Supervisor
3. The Relevant Project Engineer
It is the responsibility of the Installation Contractor, to ensure that the 'As- Built' mark up is completed after the
commissioning phase. One copy of the 'As- Built' mark up shall be left with the QP’s Authorized Site Supervisor
for maintenance purposes. The marked up copies shall be inserted into the Project Dossiers as defined in
ES.0.06.0021 after the original project drawing has been updated.
Unless otherwise specified by QP’s scope and contract requirements, one copy of the 'As- Built' mark up shall be
returned to the original design source who is responsible for updating the original project drawing to reflect the
'As- Built' status of the project involved.
Once Project ‘As-Built’ drawings have been completed and approved, the relevant Project Engineer is responsible
for informing the Applicable Contractor to prepare section 9.0 of ES.0.06.0021.
Unless otherwise specified by the project scope and contract requirements QP is responsible for transferring the
As-Built project information onto the Master Engineering Record, should one exist. The next available revision
indicator on the Master Engineering Record shall be used to identify this work.
10.0 GRASS ROOT PROJECT
A Grass Root Project is a project that involves the design of a completely new plant, platform or facility.
Grass root projects shall use the Master Engineering Records numbering system in accordance with ES.0.07.0014,
(See section 6.2).
10.1 Grass Root Project As-Built
All revision clouds shall be deleted on approval of the As-Built Rev Z
11.0 PROJECT DATA DELIVERABLES TO QP
