1. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The overall NFPS Project objective is to sustain the Qatar Gas North Field production
plateau via an integrated investment in surface facilities expansion (Drilling/Production
Platforms, Riser Platforms, Pipeline Looping, and associated Brownfield modifications).
Additional drill wells are anticipated to be required by the early 2020’s, followed shortly
thereafter by export pipeline (or “trunk line”) looping. Compression facilities additions are
expected further in the future and are not part of this project scope.
The integrated FEED for these project elements is intended to capture the efficiencies and
synergies of concurrently designing like and similar project elements that will be executed
in a coordinated EPC phase. The FEED end products must be of sufficient quality,
completeness and detail to support competitive lump sum tendering for EPC execution with
minimal contract change order risk.
Safe execution and high-quality work products are base expectations. Beyond that, the
FEED must support a schedule driven project that achieves the shareholders’ production
need dates. Secondarily, the project must be implemented in a manner that minimizes
project adverse impacts on existing production operations. Lastly, the project should be
executed in as capital efficient manner as possible while not compromising schedule.
The FACILITIES shall be designed with a view to ensure that they are fit for their intended
purpose as described in the CONTRACT documents, and shall be safe, reliable,
maintainable, accessible, operable and efficient throughout their required life.
The project scope is comprised of five broad elements as summarized below and described
in more detail in Clause 2.0 of Section 3.0 of CONTRACT.

documented internal auditing process and the audit results shall be submitted to
COMPANY to verify that CONTRACTOR's Safety Management System is effectively
implemented and compliant.
b. ISSC, IOPP, SOPEP, and certification to SOLAS and MARPOL. This applies to all
vessels except those that are specifically exempted under the IMO, Class, and/ or Flag
State. Vessels that have these exemptions shall have the appropriate documentation
from the IMO, Class, and/or Flag State to verify their status and are also required by
COMPANY to detail and document how they meet the purpose and intent of those
conventions.
c. Documented compliance with ILO MLC.
4. Marine Vessel—Unmanned and Non-Self-Propelled Vessels for Cargo Transportation All

unmanned and non-self-propelled marine vessels used for cargo transport are required to have
the following:

tenders, Rigid Inflatable Boat (RIBs), Zodiacs, Fast Rescue Craft (FRCs), multicats,
utility boats, and other similar craft that are otherwise not required to, and/or do not,
meet IMO and/or Class requirements because of their tonnage or type of service, are
subject to a COMPANY inspection and approval. COMPANY expects to use IMCA M
189 to conduct the inspection and define Corrective Actions. No small boat operations
shall be allowed until COMPANY Representative has verified in person the closure of
any actions resulting from either the Vessel Inspection or the Risk Assessment.
b. CONTRACTOR shall provide to COMPANY a detailed list of each proposed small work
boat(s), and this shall include vessel particulars, vessel safety equipment, type of
proposed service, and SOW. CONTRACTOR shall also provide copies of all types of
inspections, approvals, and certifications that are associated with the design,
construction, and operation of the vessels, including any of the Flag State or Registry.
This information shall be provided to COMPANY as soon as the candidate vessel is
nominated by CONTRACTOR and sufficiently before any vessel charter to ensure
COMPANY has adequate time to review.
c. CONTRACTOR shall participate with COMPANY in a Marine Workshop at least 60

days prior to vessel mobilization to detail CONTRACTOR's methodology for the use of
small boats during the Contracted SOW. This review shall detail all of the planned small

14000 Series, and ISO 45001 or documentation of COMPANY policies and procedures that
verify compliance with intent, clauses, and elements of these standards.
5. IMO - ISM Code DOC and SMC - Provide copies of certificates (as applicable).
6. DP Audits - Provide copies of the audit and documentation requirements for each DP vessel
as required by COMPANY.
iFEED
7. Cargo Vessels (Cargo Ships, Supply Vessels, Crew/Supply Vessels, and Cargo Barges) -
Provide verification that global and local structural capacity exists for the planned loading
conditions. This shall include (other than routine dead loading on ships or cargo barges)
hydrostatic loading of ballast tanks where the cargo vessel is to be submerged (float-on/float-
off operations).
8. Mobile Cranes or Land-Based Cranes Adopted to Pedestal Foundations Offshore - Provide

certification, including Manufacturer's down-rated capacity curve reflecting its marine use
(specific weight, angle, and sea state) or CONTRACTOR (or third Party) calculations done to
recognized industry standards to determine the same.
9. Equipment Certifications - Provide detailed equipment specifications, performance (including

any limitations), and testing/inspection procedures/results and certificates for winches, cranes,
davits, A-frames, tensioners, pressure vessels, and all lifting appliances. Also provide copies
of calibration certificates for all project specific equipment.
10. Testing Procedures/Results - Provide testing procedures and results for all of the following:
a. Cranes and handling systems (including winches)
b. Wire and synthetic ropes, to include use and retirement criteria for all primary and

gear and appliances shall be registered showing the identification number, description, date
received on board, last date of service or inspection, if subsequently cut back and tested, and
when removed from service. Copies of certificates shall be filed with the registry.
3.2.1.2 COMPANY Audits and Inspections
1. COMPANY Shoreside Audits of CONTRACTOR or SUBCONTRACTOR – COMPANY

reserves the right to conduct a shoreside audit of all proposed CONTRACTORs and their
SUBCONTRACTORS to determine their suitability to conduct work for COMPANY.
iFEED
2. Vessel Audit Scope/COMPANY Approval
- The scope of any audit is determined by the COMPANY and shall typically include safety,
management, and operations. Generally, Suitability Surveys are conducted by COMPANY
MWS, and this is considered to be the minimum COMPANY requirement. COMPANY
MWS Suitability Surveys are generally sufficient for tugs, supply vessels, AHTs, cargo
ships, barges, crew vessels, and other marine transportation and support craft.
COMPANY audits of installation, construction, and accommodation vessels are more
comprehensive than a COMPANY MWS Suitability Survey and therefore require more
time and more detailed participation of CONTRACTOR vessel management and
operations personnel. COMPANY Vessel Audits generally are used for offshore
installation vessels, accommodation vessels, pipelay vessels, marine lifting vessels and
barges, diving vessels (DP and anchor moored), DP vessels, and others as determined
by COMPANY.
- COMPANY reserves the right to inspect and/or audit all vessels to be used on a
COMPANY project.
- CONTRACTOR to provide a minimum five-years history of HSE incident statistics

including asset damage.
- COMPANY's use of its representatives and/or MWS to confirm vessel suitability does not
release CONTRACTOR from its obligation to ensure that all equipment nominated for
COMPANY use is suitable for its intended use and complies with all COMPANY and
regulatory requirements.
- COMPANY reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to re-survey or re-audit any vessel at
any time during the mobilization or execution of the project SOW.
- No vessel or item of equipment shall be used on COMPANY marine operations until

COMPANY has notified CONTRACTOR of its endorsement of the vessel and/or
equipment and COMPANY is the final arbitrator in determining that CONTRACTOR or its
proposed SUBCONTRACTORS are suitable and approved for their intended SOW.
3. CONTRACTOR Support of COMPANY Audits—COMPANY requires the support of

CONTRACTOR (and SUBCONTRACTORS) for the planning and inspection and/or audit of
CONTRACTOR shoreside offices and nominated vessels and equipment.
4. Inspection/Audit Corrective Actions—COMPANY specifies detailed Corrective Actions as a

result of shore side audits, Vessel Suitability Surveys, and Vessel Audits. COMPANY shall
provide CONTRACTOR with a list of all Corrective Actions, and CONTRACTOR is responsible
for executing the Corrective Actions and providing the defined verification to COMPANY for
review and classification as closed. Unless specifically notified by COMPANY, CONTRACTOR
shall close out all Corrective Actions prior to vessel mobilization to the project work site.
iFEED
4. SSHEQR POLICIES, PROCEDURES AND CERTIFICATES
COMPANY requires that CONTRACTOR have an effectively implemented and comprehensive set of
QHSES policies, procedures, and certifications that meet the requirements of the project-specific
Coordination Procedures. All CONTRACTOR project-specific policies and procedures shall be
reviewed and approved by COMPANY.
COMPANY also requires that CONTRACTOR provide onboarding and fully implement the MCA Code
of Safe Working Practices for Merchant Seaman, 2010, or as amended.
Where CONTRACTOR's detailed Safety Management Plan (SMP) and safety manuals, work
instructions, safe work practices, and equipment use requirements are more stringent than the above
MCA Code, then those shall be used by CONTRACTOR.
International and national regulations and/or detailed COMPANY requirements contained in this and
referenced Project Specifications, which are more stringent than the above Code, then those shall be
used by CONTRACTOR.
4.1 SAFETY
4.1.1 SAFETY MANAGEMENT PLAN
CONTRACTOR shall prepare project-specific and Vessel Operations-specific Safety Management

Plans for itself and its SUBCONTRACTOR operations. More specific details for projects are given in
the Coordination Procedure. CONTRACTOR's project- specific Safety Management Plans shall be
inclusive of all aspects of the SOW and are required to include a minimum of the following:
• Safe handling of loads and rigging.

• Safe handling and use of wires and synthetic ropes, especially under tension.
• Use of PPE and application/implementation of IMO MSC/Circ. 1046.
• Transfer of personnel over water.
• Pre-task planning (RAs, JSAs, safety meetings, and TBTs).
• Safe work practices.
• Working at heights.
• Permit to work system.
• Management of change (MOC).
• Smoking, drugs, and alcohol.

off environment. The below criteria are based on DP vessels where the DP software is
programmed to apply a maximum thrust in excess of 90% to the thrusters when required to
operate in failure mode. In vessels where the DP software is such that the thruster load that
can be applied in DP Auto is less, then the 90% limits shall be reduced accordingly based upon
the DP vessel software application.
3. As weather conditions change, the capability assessment shall be continuously updated, either
electronically though the DP software (if fitted) or manually in reference to available data to
allow bridge personnel and DP watch standers to anticipate degrading of vessel performance
should there be shifts in current or wind to the beam that may compromise the vessels' station-
keeping capability.
4. Diving, Connection to an Asset, Blow-On Conditions, and Close Proximity Operations - The
Limiting Environmental Criteria shall be established based upon the 5. DP vessel sustaining
the WCSPF and having sufficient remaining power to effectively hold position and recover
divers or personnel and equipment, including safely disconnecting any equipment while
retaining the capability to manoeuvre the vessel in a controlled manner in DP Auto to a safe
iFEED
position. On vessels with a conventional A/B switchboard where WCSPF is 50% of power or
thrust, this shall be 40% of intact power or thrust, whichever occurs first. CONTRACTOR shall
note that when working in a blow-off condition or open water location where none of above
apply, the limits may be exceeded at the discretion of the Master and COMPANY Vessel Lead
such that loss of position of the vessel causes no risk to safety of personnel, environment, or
asset.
5. Station Holding - The DP vessel with diesel electric systems operating with a balanced electrical
board must be able to hold station within the specified diving watch-keeping circle, with all
thrusters running and no single thruster exceeding 40% of its rated capacity.
6. Contingency Procedure - The DP vessel shall have a DP Contingency Procedure on the bridge
that reflects the Risk Assessment, mitigating factors, and manoeuvring the vessel to safe
locations should an emergency occur. The DP Contingency Procedure shall be signed by all
DP Watch Standers.
7. Nonconventional Design Vessel without Standard A/B Switchboard - The operating limit shall
need to be assessed on a case-by-case basis, taking into account the vessel failure modes.
Evaluation of the vessel capability shall reference the single point worst-case failure as defined
in the FMEA (FMECA) and be evaluated on this basis, allowing for a safety margin similar to
that above with conventional power systems. Examples can include the following:
• Unbalanced switchboard where one side loss has greater effect
• Independently powered thrust units
• Dual-powered or dual-supplied thrust units
• Further switchboard segregation such that loss of one board has a lesser effect
8. Offshore Completion
• If not proven in annual DP trial, or doubt exists, the vessel shall set up such that
thrusters can be run (and where possible with thrusters opposed) at full capacity for a
COMPANY-agreed minimum timeframe to ensure that in an emergency, the thrusters
are capable of sustaining that high of an output for a COMPANY-agreed period (i.e.,
time required to recover divers and manoeuvre the vessel to a safe location) prior to
verifying the vessel's Limiting Environmental Criteria and conducting field entry trials.
Following successful completion of this operation and field entry trials, all outside the
500 m (1640.42 ft) zone, the Limiting Environmental Criteria shall be established.
• Trial of Thrusters and Capability Plots - The reduced thruster outputs and resulting
capability plots shall be trialled (worst case with all thrusters operating and not
exceeding 40% of capacity) to verify that the limiting criteria for the vessel and the
environmental conditions shall not be exceeded for any given heading, current, or wind
or wave condition at the time of the operation. It is the maximum weather (wind and
iFEED
current) that allows the vessel to operate within the 40% thruster output, which is
termed the Limiting Environmental Criteria, and to stay within the agreed watch circle.
The results of these tests shall be compared with the DP Manufacturer-produced
capability plots and DP Capability software (when fitted) to identify any errors.
• Critical Loss - The critical loss shall be trialled (i.e., the thrusters, which are driven by
what is deemed the most critical board, are taken off-line). Bridge personnel shall
record the power levels on the remaining thruster units required to maintain the agreed
watch circle. The remaining thrusters used to maintain the required watch-keeping
circle should never exceed 80% of the remaining thrusters' maximum output in this
replication of a DP emergency. This is to ensure that there is always sufficient power
in reserve to hold station for the required period and then manoeuvre the vessel to
safety.
• Vessel Positioning - The vessel shall, as far as practicable, and with critical loss
deselected, position beam to the environment to establish the loads and compare with
the WCSPF capability and footprint plots for accuracy.
• Crew Competency Demonstration - The SDPO's and Master shall demonstrate ability
and competence to manoeuvre the vessel and maintain set position in manual lever
control.
• Consequence Analysis - All DP 2 and DP 3 vessels are required to be fitted with and
use a Consequence Analysis System. This system shall be used but not relied upon.
Its presence does not relieve the DP Operators of their responsibility to monitor the
environment and the vessel thruster loads and power capability to sustain the demand
for maintaining vessel position. It should be noted that when the Consequence Analysis
System is activated, the vessel has already reached the redundant limit. During the
establishment of the Limiting Environmental Criteria, the Consequence Analysis shall
be verified as accurate. In reference to DP 1 vessels where the Consequence Analysis
System software is not a requirement and in its absence, the importance of constant
monitoring remains unchanged. Adherence to this principle ensures that there shall
always be an adequate margin of safety.
• Position Reference System Selection and Test - The position reference systems
intended for the SOW shall be deployed and selected within the DP system and tested
prior to 500 m (1640.42 ft) entry. It shall be ensured that the selected DP references
systems are equally split across the UPS' such that loss of a UPS would not lose all
available position reference systems. The vessel shall conduct a 360-degree rotation
and a box trial manoeuvre of 20 m (65.62 ft) legs to compare the standard deviation of
the Position Reference Sensors and ensure they are in agreement with all reference
systems selected. During this rotation any blind sectors or interference shall be noted.
Note that the deployed PRS shall likely need to be re-deployed.
iFEED
• Azimuth Thrusters - If the vessel is fitted with azimuth thrusters, these shall be rotated
and the time noted and compared with Manufacturers' specifications.
