EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
• For the surge analysis reported herein, Poisson Ratio of 0.3 (Ref. ASME B31.8) and
Elasticity Modulus of 203 GPa (Ref. ASME B31.4) for carbon steel material are applied.
The predicted surge pressures are based on pump curves derived from assuming 125%
rise to shut-off from the rated point. Linear valve closure profile is assumed. Run down
due to pump trip has been modelled based on preliminary vendor pump power and
moment of inertia data.
- Tripping of the crude oil pumps with no valve closure does not cause the pressure in
the pump discharge piping or pipeline to exceed the mechanical design pressure
(Case 4, Figure 4.48).
- BVS closure while the pumps continue to run does not cause the pipeline pressure to
exceed the allowable ASME B31.4 limit for pipeline surge. However, as it is intended
that the BVSs are only used for pipeline section isolation if required for maintenance
etc. rather than a safety shut-down, there is no requirement for the BVSs to close
quickly. For a scheduled shut-down of the pipeline, the pumps would be stopped prior
to closure of any of the pipeline BVSs. However, in the event of inadvertent closure
of a BVS by Operations while the pumps are in operation, the valve travel should be
slowed to 1/3 inch/second to prevent pipeline surge pressure exceeding the code
allowance.
- As per Cause and Effect logic, considering all operating pumps are tripped upon
closure of the pump discharge shutdown valve (SDV1), pressure in the Class 300#
piping on the crude oil pump discharge is not exceeded (Case 7b, Figure 4.67).

- As per the GTP Cause and Effects [Ref.16], the LPG HIPPS valve closes upon High
High Pressure at HIPPS, but does not close directly if SDV1 or SDV2 are closed i.e.
there is a time delay while the pressure is increased to HIPPS SP before the HIPPS
valve is closed.
- Upon closure of SDV1 at the CPF, 91 barg is reached 12 seconds after the SDV1
begins to close. HIPPS valve is then shut. With a 1inch/second HIPPS valve closure
rate, the peak pressure reached in the Class 900# pump discharge piping is within the
design pressure limit. Class 900# pressure rating to the outlet of SDV1 is required.
- Upon closure of SDV2 with the sales gas compression trains continuing to run, the
sales gas pipeline will pack. It will take 2.4 minutes for the pipeline to reach 91 barg
pressure (PAHH) and a further 1.5 minutes for the pipeline to reach 94 barg
(mechanical design pressure), assuming that the compressors have not tripped on
PAHH as per the Cause and Effect logic. A PSV on the discharge of the sales gas
compressor is set at 94 barg for final protection of the pipeline from overpressure.
Further to the above, it is advised that transient analysis for the crude oil export pipeline, LPG
export pipeline and Sales gas export pipeline is revisited during the Detailed Engineering Design
Phase based on final vendor equipment selection (pumps, valves etc.)
It is also advised that transient analysis for the produced water pipeline, TRW import pipeline,
and CSSP import pipeline not included within the FEED analysis is reviewed by the EPC
contractor at the Detailed Engineering Design Phase.

1. INTRODUCTION
( ), in partnership with the Company of , is
developing its upstream production facilities and infrastructure to meet a target of 1.2MMBOPD
of production in the 2 oil field in Southern . The field consists of two primary
reservoirs, and , which are developed as separate projects. It is envisaged that
the reservoir will produce 650MBOPD of the 1.2MMBOPD targeted from the entire
field.
WorleyParsons has been contracted to execute the FEED phase of the Development
Project. The development includes well pads, gathering systems, water injection facilities, gas
and water treatment, a gas turbine power plant, a light oil export pipeline and tank farm
upgrades, tie-ins to LPG and gas export systems and further expansion of supporting facilities
such as accommodation camps, security systems and expansion of the infrastructure as
necessary.
The Project aims to produce a comprehensive FEED Package in order to allow the progression of
the Project to the EPC (Execute) Phase.
1.1 Purpose
The purpose of this document is to present the study basis and findings of the transient analysis
of crude oil export line, LPG export pipeline and Sales gas export pipeline for the
facility.
1.2 Scope
The scope of this report includes transient analysis for:
1. 40” Crude oil export pipeline
2. 12” LPG export pipeline
3. 28” Sales gas export pipeline.
Note that transient analysis for the produced water pipeline, TRW pipeline, and CSSP pipeline
are excluded from the FEED scope. It is recommended that transient analysis for each of these
systems is reviewed by the EPC Contractor during the Project Detailed Design Phase.
The crude oil and LPG export pipeline are reviewed in terms of;
- Benchmarking of steady state normal operation results with PIPESIM
- Determining the peak surge pressure in the piping and pipeline for the defined upset
scenarios and assessing this pressure against piping and pipeline code allowances for
surge pressure
- Review of surge mitigation measures (where applicable)
Transient analysis of the sales gas export pipeline has been completed to determine;
- Upon closure of the shut-down valve at IPS, the packing time to reach Sales Gas
Compressor PAHH set point pressure, and pipeline mechanical design pressure.

In Pre-FEED, the transient study for crude oil export pipeline was carried out for the following
scenarios:
Case 1: Closure of battery limit valve on the export line close to PS-1 tank farm
Case 2: Similarly closure of block valve stations valve (BVS-1)
Case 3: Tripping of Export Crude Main Pump at time delay of 5secs from BVS-1 closure
Case 4: Tripping of Export Crude Main Pump
Transient analysis of the LPG export pipeline and Sales gas pipeline was not reviewed.
For the crude oil pipeline, a mechanical design pressure of 43 barg was recommended; with a
further detailed review of the below concepts during FEED.

The objectives of the Crude oil export system transient analysis are
1. Determine surge pressure in the crude oil pump discharge piping and pipeline upon valve
closure and pump trip events (refer to the detailed list in Section 4.16.2) and compare
with the allowable surge pressure limits as per piping and pipeline codes.
2. In the event where code allowance is exceeded, review surge mitigation options (if
required).
3. Report wave speeds for the purposes of piping and pipeline stressing.

• Net elevation change from booster pump discharge to main pump suction line is
considered as zero
• Main pump discharge to Fiscal metering is considered with +0.5 m net elevation change.
The in-plant pressure drops provided below are considered in the PIPENET model based on
preliminary FEED pipe routing, and can be revalidated in detailed design once pipe routing
and isometrics are finalized. However, this will not impact the decisions made in this report.
- Booster pump suction = 0.1 bar
- Main Pump suction =0.9 bar
- Main pump discharge piping + Fiscal metering = 2.23 bar

The results are compared with PIPESIM steady state results [Ref-1] in Table 4.18 below.
Table 4-18: Normal Operation: Pressure and Velocity for Rated Flow
Description Flow rate Pipeline In Velocity
pressure Pipeline Out Pressure
PIPENET predicts a higher pressure drop due to the higher flowrate. Flowrate and fluid
properties used in PIPENET are based on the H&MB [Ref-9], HYSYS predicted values, whereas
in PIPESIM properties are based on the inbuilt multi-flash PVT package. However, a higher
pressure at the pipeline inlet yields conservative surge pressures.
4.16.2 Cases
A pressure surge is generated in a piping system whenever there is a change in flow rate of the
liquid in the line. Surge pressures can cause extremely rapid changes in pressure, rapid enough
to cause metallic percussions or a pounding of the line. The following cases are reviewed to
assess the surge pressure in the in-plant crude oil piping within the CPF, and in the crude oil
pipeline itself:
Case 1: Closure of SDV2 (shutdown valve in PS-1 tank farm), with all pumps operating
Case 2: Closure of first pipeline block valve station (BVS-1)
- Case 2a: BVS-1 closure is 1 inch per second (40 seconds), with all pumps operating
- Case 2b: BVS-1 closure is 1/3 inch per second (120 seconds), with all pumps operating
- Case 2c: BVS-1 closure is 1 inch per second (40 seconds), with all operating pumps
tripped
Case 3: Two export crude main pumps trip (while the other two main pumps continue to
operate), with no valve closures
Case 4: All crude oil operating pumps trip, with no valve closures
Case 5: Closure of second block valve stations BVS-2, with all pumps operating
Case 6: Closure of third pipeline block valve stations BVS-3, with all pumps operating
Case 7: Closure of SDV1 (shutdown valve downstream of crude oil pumps in the CPF)
- Case 7a: SDV1 closes in 30 seconds and assumes all operating pumps continue to operate
- Case 7b: SDV1 closes in 30 seconds and assumes all operating pumps trip (as per CPF

It is to note that the working pump flow rate may increase due to the decrease in system pressure
drop. However, this to be analyzed with the pump curve for the procured pumps [HOLD-1].
Tripping of pumps does not predict any adverse pressure surge effect. After pump trip, the
pipeline inlet pressure is 17.7 barg. The peak pipeline pressure is 23.8 barg, and the peak
pressure in the in-plant main pump discharge piping (Class 300#) is 27.0 barg (which are the
steady state pressures before the pumps are tripped).
It is also noted that the pump trip does not cause cavitation. The pipeline maximum and

4.18 Conclusion
For BVS-1 closure at 1inch/second rate, the predicted peak surge pressure in the pipeline is 50.1
barg. As per ASME B31.4 pipeline code, the allowable surge pressure is 110% of pipeline
design pressure. With pipeline mechanical design pressure selected at 47.0 barg (within Class
300# rating), the allowable surge pressure is 51.7 barg. With the pump curves and valve closure
profiles assumed for this analysis, the surge pressure is within the allowable pipeline surge
pressure as per ASME B31.4.
However, from review of preliminary pump curves sourced from different vendors, there is
variation in pump shut-off head between vendors. Depending on the final pump selection, the
resultant peak surge pressure may exceed the ASME B31.4 limit of 51.7 barg. As details will not
be finalized until EPC phase when equipment is procured, additional safeguards are implemented
in the FEED design to account for this uncertainty.
It is intended that the BVSs are only used for pipeline section isolation if required for
maintenance etc. rather than a safety shut-down, and hence there is safety requirement for the
BVS valves to close quickly. It is expected that for a planned shut-down of the pipeline, the
pumps are stopped prior to closure of any of the BVSs. However, in the event of inadvertent
closure of a BVS by Operations while the pumps are in operation (an event that cannot be
discounted), the valve travel should be slowed to 1/3 inch/second to reduce the peak surge
pressure. The resultant surge pressure in the pipeline is reduced to 47.9 barg.
Peak surge pressure in the in-plant Class 300# pump discharge piping on SDV1 closure for
1inch/second rate is 58.3 barg, which exceeds piping limit for overpressure. As per CPF Cause
and Effect Diagram [Ref.15], all operating pumps trip on High High pump discharge pressure
(due to increase in pressure seen at the pump when SDV1 closes). With taking credit for the trip
of all operating pumps when SDV1 is closed, the flow drops off while the pumps run down
(within 5 seconds-refer Figure 4.64) and the allowable piping overpressure limit is not exceeded.
Tripping of the crude oil pumps with no valve closure does not cause the pressure in the pipeline
or piping to exceed the mechanical design pressure.
For the purposes of stress analysis, wave speeds in in-plant piping and the crude oil pipeline are
listed in Table 4.68.

There is a ASME B16.5 Class 300 / Class 150 pressure break at PS-1 where the Class 300 rated
crude oil pipeline ties into the existing 36” North Rumaila pipeline and 28” South Rumaila
pipeline, and hence over pressure protection for the Class 150# pipelines is necessary.
In the IFA Report revision, overpressure protection at PS-1 was proposed as part of the
FEED design. However, it has subsequently been confirmed by SOC [Ref.14] that there are
existing surge relief valves on the 36” North Rumaila pipeline and 28” South Rumaila pipeline
set at 13 barg set pressure. Therefore these Class 150# pipelines are already protected. Additional
overpressure protection as part of the FEED design has not been specified.

Piping equivalent lengths have been derived by multiplying actual piping length by the factors as
per Table 7.1 of Process Design Criteria 8015-0152-WP05-00-000-PC-DC-120001.
• Booster pump and main pump suction is considered with +0.9 m net elevation change
from the grade to pump center point.
• Net elevation change from booster pump discharge to main pump suction line is
considered as zero
• Main pump discharge to Fiscal metering is considered with +0.3 m net elevation change.
The in-plant pressure drops provided below are considered in the PIPENET model based on
preliminary FEED pipe routing, and can be revalidated in detailed design once pipe routing
and isometrics are finalized. However, this will not impact the decisions made in this report.
- Booster pump suction = 0.001 bar
- Main Pump suction =0.01 bar
- Main pump discharge piping + Fiscal metering = 1.65 bar

1. In the CPF, the LPG bullet discharge line is set as pressure of 12 barg to represent the
booster pump suction pressure.
2. Booster Pump and Main Pump curves are defined with three points (refer to Figure 6.9
and 6.11).
3. tie-in point is defined with 80 barg pressure
4. Check valves located on the pump discharge are modelled as ‘non-return valves’ which
assumes the valve acts as an ‘ideal’ check valve, preventing all flow in the reverse
direction with no delay on check valve closure (i.e. check valve closes immediately to
prevent reverse flow).
PIPENET model schematic view is provided below:

The results are compared with PIPESIM, steady state results [Ref-1] in Table 6.16 below:
Table 6-16: Normal Operation: Pressure and Velocity for Rated Flow
Description Pipeline In pressure Pipeline Out Pressure Velocity
PIPENET 83.3 barg 80 barg 1.8 m/s
Results are comparable. The flow considered for PIPENET is higher than in PIPESIM, because
PIPESIM results are based on pipeline design flow (10% design margin) while PIPENET
considers pump rated capacity (15% design margin).

The following cases are reviewed:
Case 1: Closure of SDV-1
- Case 1a: SDV-1 closes over 12s. HIPPS valve closed over 12s at the same time (0 time
delay)
- Case 1b: SDV-1 closes over 12s. HIPPS valve starts to close at HIPPS SP of 91barg.
HIPPS valve closes over 12s.
Case 2: Closure of SDV-2
- Case 2a: SDV-2 closes over 12s. HIPPS valve closed over 12s at the same time (0 time
delay)
- Case 1b: SDV-2 closes over 12s. HIPPS valve starts to close at HIPPS SP of 91barg.

6.18 Conclusion
As per the GTP Cause and Effects [Ref.16], the LPG HIPPS valve closes upon High High
Pressure at HIPPS, but does not close directly if SDV1 (EIV-0003) or SDV2 (EIV-0004) are
closed i.e. there is a time delay while the pressure is increased to HIPPS set pressure before the
HIPPS valve is closed. Hence Cases 1b and 2b are reported herein are relevant.
Upon closure of SDV1 (EIV-0003) at the CPF, 91 barg is reached in 12 seconds after SDV1
begins to close, and the HIPPS valve is closed. For 1inch/second HIPPS valve closure rate, the
peak pressure reached in the pump discharge piping is 108.1 barg, within the pressure limit for
Class 900#. However it is noted that Class 600# piping limit with design pressure of 95 barg @
87°C design temperature is exceeded, and hence Class 900# pressure rating to the outlet of
SDV1 (EIV-0003) is required.
Upon closure of SDV2 (EIV-0004) at , 91 barg is reached in 25 seconds after SDV2
begins to close, at which time the HIPPS valve starts to close. The peak pressure reached in the
LPG pipeline of 98.3 barg is maintained within the allowable surge pressure as per ASME B31.4
of 103.4 barg (110% of 94 barg).
For the purposes of stress analysis, wave speeds in in-plant piping and the LPG pipeline are
listed in Table 6.40.

7.1 Objective
7.2 Description
The net sales gas from the outlet of low temperature separator after process heat integration is
routed to the sales gas compression unit for generating the pressure required for product delivery.
A portion of the sales gas produced by CPF is consumed for fuel gas and power
generation demand. The net gas is exported via a pipeline which connects into the existing NPS
28 CPF sales gas export pipeline.
The sales gas export pipeline is designed to operate in reverse mode such that in the initial years,
dry sales gas can be utilized as fuel gas for the facility. Within the CPF, piping
will be provided to connect the reverse-flowing sales gas export line to the GTPP fuel gas
system.
With reference to Figure 7.1 below:
SDV1 = 16” shutdown valve downstream of fiscal metering prior to the pig launcher located
within the CPF (EIV-0001).
SDV2 = 28” shutdown valve downstream of the Sales Gas pipeline pig receiver prior to the
tie-in at the IPS (EIV-0002).

7.13 Results
SDV2 is closed in 28 seconds. The sales gas line packing pressure upon SDV2 closure is as
follows:
Figure 7-9: Sales Gas Export Pipeline: Line packing
As show above, the time to reach PAHH (91 barg) is 143 second (3771-3628 seconds). The time
to reach pipeline mechanical design pressure (94 barg) is 231 seconds.
7.14 Conclusion
Upon closure of SDV2 with the sales gas compression trains continuing to run, the sales gas
pipeline will pack. It will take 143 seconds for the pipeline to reach 91 barg pressure (PAHH),
and within the next 88 seconds, the pipeline reaches 94 barg (mechanical design pressure),
(assuming that the compressors have not tripped on PAHH as per the Cause and Effect logic).
This data may be provided to the compression train vendor if required (for input into the
dynamic simulation of the compressors). A PSV on the discharge of the sales gas compressor is
set at 94 barg for final protection of the pipeline from overpressure.
