1 INTRODUCTION
This Scope of Work (SoW) document identifies the requirement for conducting an
Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) on behalf of SAUDI ARAMCO Project BI-10-
20857 entitled “Fadhili Gas Plant - Gas Increment Expansion Program”. The SoW for the
EIA Report will also include FGP upstream feed pipelines to the facility SAUDI ARAMCO
Project BI-10-20858 and downstream product pipelines from the facility SAUDI ARAMCO
Project BI-10-20859.

2 BACKGROUND INFORMATION

The Fadhili Gas and Condensate Processing Plant is a gas-fired combined heat and
power plant located 30km west of Jubail Industrial City II - Eastern Province - Kingdom of
Saudi Arabia.
The facility was built by Fadhili Plant Cogeneration Company (FPCC) with an estimated
investment of SAR50bn ($13.3bn USD). It is operated by Saudi Aramco, ENGIE and
Saudi Electricity Company.
Fadhili is a notable part of Saudi Arabia’s proposed Master Gas System that has been
planned to fulfil the increasing energy demand in the country by expanding the
kingdom’s sales gas capacity from 9.3bcf/d in 2015 to 12.2bcf/d in 2021. An estimated
addition of 5bcf/d is expected to occur in the country’s non-associated gas processing
capacity with the addition of the Wasit, Midyan, and Fadhili gas plants.
A signing ceremony for the project was held on 20 July 2016 to signal the start of the
mega project and construction started late that year. Out of the five gas turbines of the
plant, the first two were fired in February 2019. The project supplies energy through the
clean burning of natural gas and helps lower the country’s reliance on oil as a fuel for
generating power.
The plant has generated 4,500 employment opportunities, including both permanent and
temporary jobs, benefitting locals. A training centre was set up in collaboration with
project contractors and government agencies to impart a Fadhili training program to
develop technical skills.

3 PROJECT SCOPE
The project scope is to accommodate expansion of the existing Fadhili Gas Plant (FGP)
to process an additional 1.3 BSCFD of sour non-associated offshore gas and to assist in
the production of approximately 1.15 BSCFD of sales gas and 2,100 MTD of elemental
sulphur (S8). The SoW for the EIA Report will also include FGP upstream feed pipelines
to the facility SAUDI ARAMCO Project BI-10-20858 and downstream product pipelines
from the facility SAUDI ARAMCO Project BI-10-20859.

4 ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT

An Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) may be defined as the systematic
identification and evaluation of the potential impacts (effects) of proposed projects, plans,
programs, or legislative actions relative to the physical, chemical, biological, cultural, and
socio-economic components of the total environment.

4
The primary purpose of the EIA process is to encourage the consideration of the
environmental issues in planning and decision making and to ultimately arrive at actions
which are more environmentally compatible.
The potential scope of a comprehensive EIA philosophy is considerable and may include
the appraisal of policies, plans, programs, and specific projects.
With regard to the Fadhili Gas Plant Gas Increment Expansion Program, the
Environmental impact assessment study shall be prepared under the guidance provided
by The National Centre for Environmental Compliance (NCEC).
The selected Environmental Contractor will expedite the approval of EIA studies and
follow the NCEC and Aramco standards, principally Saudi Aramco Engineering
Procedures SAEP-13 and SAEP-303 for reporting and submission of all required
documentation according to proper procedural guidelines and utilizing a methodology
suitable to the production of a classified report for the Fadhili Gas Increment Expansion
Project.
Additionally, the comprehensive Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) shall be
performed for this project during accelerated Pre-FEED and FEED phases specifically in
accordance with Saudi Aramco Engineering Procedure SAEP-13 and latest standards as
delineated above. In addition, the Contractor shall abide by the latest version of
Company’s GIs, Standards and Procedures.
SAEP-13 Appendix C specifies the minimum content required for the classified
“category” of the Project Environmental Impact Assessment. For the purposes of these
program of works the gas expansion project is designated Category 3. A copy of
Appendix C may be found as Appendix A within this document and a complete version of
SAEP-13 will be provided with this SoW for issue to select Environmental Engineering
Service providers already pre-approved by Saudi Aramco to undertake such
environmental work.
Contractor is advised that describing mitigation measures in general terms should be
minimized at this stage as the mitigation measures should be specific to the overall risk
of negative impact to sensitive environmental receptors including flora, fauna and avi
fauna. For example, contractor should not state, “Waste management shall be according
to SA standards.” This statement is correct and in general satisfactory, but it is not
sufficiently defined nor developed for a classified Category C EIA and requires a detailed
and comprehensive technical appraisal and response (refer to Appendix A herein).
Potential sources of environmental impact(s) for this project to be addressed in the EIA
study shall include the following:
• Site Preparation aspects displacement of flora and fauna as part of a Biodiversity
Baseline Study on local ecology and sensitive environmental receptors including
flora, fauna and avi fauna.
• Recycle, treatment and/or disposal of demolition and construction debris and
excavated soil as part of a bespoke Waste Management Study for both
hazardous and non-hazardous wastes.
Dust generation during construction as part of an Emissions to Atmosphere Study and
mitigation measures to reduce particulates generation. The Emissions to Atmosphere
Study will identify, quantify, and manage all emissions to air from combustive activities at
site from all earth moving equipment, cranes, low loaders, trucks (comprehensive list
provided below) as well as stationary and potable diesel driven generators and transfer

facilities).

• Baseline Data. Assessment of the dimensions of the study area and

description of relevant physical, biological, and socioeconomic conditions,
including any changes anticipated before the project commences. Current
and proposed development activities within the project area (but not
directly connected to the project) should also be considered.

• Environmental Impacts. Identification and assessment of the positive and

negative impacts likely to result from the proposed project. Mitigation
measures, and any residual negative impacts that cannot be mitigated,
should be identified. Opportunities for environmental enhancement should
be explored. The extent and quality of available data, key data gaps, and
uncertainties associated with predictions should be identified/estimated.
Topics that do not require further attention should be specified.

Analysis of Alternatives. Systematic comparison of the proposed design, site,

technology, and operational alternatives in terms of their potential

• Environmental Impacts. For each of the alternatives, the environmental

costs and benefits should be quantified to the extent possible, and
economic values should be attached where feasible. The basis for the
selection of the alternative proposed for the project design must be stated.

• Mitigation Plans. Identification of feasible and cost-effective measures

that may reduce potentially significant adverse environmental impacts to
acceptable levels. The plan should provide details of proposed work
programs and schedules
