PREFACE
DEP (Design and Engineering Practice) publications reflect the views, at the time of publication, of:
Shell Global Solutions International B.V. (Shell GSI)
and/or
Shell International Exploration and Production B.V. (SIEP)
and/or
other Shell Service Companies.
They are based on the experience acquired during their involvement with the design, construction, operation and
maintenance of processing units and facilities, and they are supplemented with the experience of Shell Operating Units.
Where appropriate they are based on, or reference is made to, international, regional, national and industry standards.
The objective is to set the recommended standard for good design and engineering practice applied by Shell companies
operating an oil refinery, gas handling installation, chemical plant, oil and gas production facility, or any other such
facility, and thereby to achieve maximum technical and economic benefit from standardization.
The information set forth in these publications is provided to Shell companies for their consideration and decision to
implement. This is of particular importance where DEPs may not cover every requirement or diversity of condition at
each locality. The system of DEPs is expected to be sufficiently flexible to allow individual Operating Units to adapt the
information set forth in DEPs to their own environment and requirements.
When Contractors or Manufacturers/Suppliers use DEPs they shall be solely responsible for the quality of work and the
attainment of the required design and engineering standards. In particular, for those requirements not specifically
covered, the Principal will expect them to follow those design and engineering practices which will achieve the same
level of integrity as reflected in the DEPs. If in doubt, the Contractor or Manufacturer/Supplier shall, without detracting
from his own responsibility, consult the Principal or its technical advisor.
The right to use DEPs is granted by Shell GSI, in most cases under Service Agreements primarily with Shell companies
and other companies receiving technical advice and services from Shell GSI or another Shell Service Company.
Consequently, three categories of users of DEPs can be distinguished:
1) Operating Units having a Service Agreement with Shell GSI or other Shell Service Company. The use of DEPs
by these Operating Units is subject in all respects to the terms and conditions of the relevant Service
Agreement.
2) Other parties who are authorized to use DEPs subject to appropriate contractual arrangements (whether as part
of a Service Agreement or otherwise).
3) Contractors/subcontractors and Manufacturers/Suppliers under a contract with users referred to under 1) or 2)
which requires that tenders for projects, materials supplied or - generally - work performed on behalf of the said
users comply with the relevant standards.
Subject to any particular terms and conditions as may be set forth in specific agreements with users, Shell GSI
disclaims any liability of whatsoever nature for any damage (including injury or death) suffered by any company or
person whomsoever as a result of or in connection with the use, application or implementation of any DEP, combination
of DEPs or any part thereof, even if it is wholly or partly caused by negligence on the part of Shell GSI or other Shell
Service Company. The benefit of this disclaimer shall inure in all respects to Shell GSI and/or any Shell Service
Company, or companies affiliated to these companies, that may issue DEPs or require the use of DEPs.
Without prejudice to any specific terms in respect of confidentiality under relevant contractual arrangements, DEPs shall
not, without the prior written consent of Shell GSI, be disclosed by users to any company or person whomsoever and
the DEPs shall be used exclusively for the purpose for which they have been provided to the user. They shall be
returned after use, including any copies which shall only be made by users with the express prior written consent of
Shell GSI. The copyright of DEPs vests in Shell GSI. Users shall arrange for DEPs to be held in safe custody and Shell
GSI may at any time require information satisfactory to them in order to ascertain how users implement this
requirement.
All administrative queries should be directed to the DEP Administrator in Shell GSI.

PART I INTRODUCTION
1.1 SCOPE
This DEP specifies requirements and gives recommendations for lubricating oil, seal oil
and control oil supply systems and shaft sealing systems using self-acting gas seals and
auxiliaries. These systems may serve compressors, fans, centrifugal pumps, steam
turbines, gas turbines, expanders, gears and electric motors. This DEP does not apply to
shaft sealing for centrifugal pumps.
Notwithstanding the requirements of Chapter 1, Section 4.3.1 of ISO 10438, as
supplemented by this DEP, the Principal shall advise whether general-purpose
requirements or special-purpose requirements are to be applied to a particular piece of
equipment. This shall be indicated on the equipment data sheets.
This DEP is based on ISO 10438:2008. Part II of this DEP amends, supplements and
deletes various clauses/paragraphs of API 614. Clauses of ISO 10438 that are not
mentioned in this DEP shall remain applicable as written. This DEP shall be used in
conjunction with the data/requisition sheet relevant to the equipment it serves.
This DEP is a revision of the DEP of the same number dated November 2006; see (I-1.5)
regarding the changes.
1.2 DISTRIBUTION, APPLICABILITY AND REGULATORY CONSIDERATIONS

Unless otherwise authorised by Shell GSI, the distribution of this DEP is confined to Shell
companies and, where necessary, to Contractors and Manufacturers/Suppliers nominated
by them.
This DEP is intended for use in oil refineries, chemical plants, gas plants, exploration and
production facilities and, where applicable, suppy/distribution installations.
When DEPs are applied, a Management of Change (MOC) process should be
implemented; this is of particular importance when exisiting facilities are to be modified.
If national and/or local regulations exist in which some of the requirements may be more
stringent than in this DEP, the Contractor shall determine by careful scrutiny which of the
requirements are the more stringent and which combination of requirements will be
acceptable with regards to the safety, environmental, economic and legal aspects. In all
cases the Contractor shall inform the Principal of any deviation from the requirements of
this DEP which is considered to be necessary in order to comply with national and/or local
regulations. The Principal may then negotiate with the Authorities concerned, the objective
being to obtain agreement to follow this DEP as closely as possible.
1.3 DEFINITIONS
The Contractor is the party which carries out all or part of the design, engineering,
procurement, construction, commissioning or management of a project or operation of a
facility. The Principal may undertake all or part of the duties of the Contractor.
The Manufacturer/Supplier/Vendor is the party which manufactures or supplies
equipment and services to perform the duties specified by the Contractor.
The Principal is the party which initiates the project and ultimately pays for its design and
construction. The Principal will generally specify the technical requirements. The Principal
may also include an agent or consultant authorised to act for, and on behalf of, the
Principal.
The lower-case word shall indicates a requirement.
The capitalised term SHALL [PS] indicates a process safety requirement.
The word should indicates a recommendation.

Gas turbine driven equipment shall be served by the gas turbine oil system, except for
aero-derivative gas turbine driven equipment, which may have separate oil systems for the
gas generator part and the driven equipment part.
Lube and control oil systems for aero-derivative gas turbine gas generators are designed
and constructed in accordance with Manufacturers' standards and, as such, may deviate
from this DEP. However, detailed exceptions and deviations shall be subject to the
approval of the Principal.
Special purpose oil systems in accordance with Chapter 2 are required for the following
equipment and services:
1. Lube and control oil systems for axial and centrifugal compressors in accordance with
ISO 10439 / API 617 irrespective of the driver type.
2. Compressor shaft seal oil systems.

driven by either an electric motor or a general-purpose steam turbine.
2. Lube and control oil systems for equipment in non-essential service.
For definitions of essential and non-essential service, refer to Appendix G.
Add new clause:

4.3.3 Seal oil systems SHALL [PS] be designed so that the release of process gas into
