INFORMATION
INTRODUCTION: SAFETY CONSIDERATION

Safety is good business. Not only does Saudi Aramco and its
contractors have an obligation - both morally and legally - to
protect employees and others who work on their property, but
good safety programs generally pay for themselves. The costs
related to both personal injuries and asset damage can be
extremely high.
Early identification of the safety aspects to be incorporated into

a project must be accomplished at the Preliminary Engineering
Phase. This is important because it:
• Minimizes rework later in the project
• Allows the safety items to be included in the Expenditure

Request (ER) estimate
• Sets the standard for safety performance throughout the

Project Life Cycle
In order to achieve good safety, senior management of Saudi

Aramco and the contractor organizations must be committed to,
and continually emphasize the importance of safety.
Commitment and emphasis set the basis for the Saudi Aramco
Project Management Team (SAPMT) and they must be
demonstrated by:
• Discussing safety at all meetings
• Setting goals and guidelines and then communicating

these to all personnel
• Providing safety expertise as a resource to the SAPMT
• Evaluating the safety performance of prospective

contractors, and penalizing contractors (or
subcontractors) with poor safety records when bids for
the work are evaluated
Saudi Aramco DeskTop Standards 2

Risks to personnel and property will be minimized through

application of best petroleum industry loss control practices.
Saudi Arabian Government and Company safety requirements,
including Saudi Aramco Engineering Standards, will be met in
the design, construction, modification, operation, and
maintenance of facilities and equipment.
Project's Safety Objectives

In general, the objectives of each project must:
• Ensure that the design follows standards that are proven

effective for loss prevention and for production.
• Prevent the oversights and errors that require alterations

and/or additions.
• Prevent violation of Saudi Arabian Government

regulations.
• Avoid undesirable interferences between new and

existing operations and facilities.
It is the responsibility of the Project Engineer to apply the

specific standards to the facility design. The Project Engineer
must work very closely with the Loss Prevention Department
and the Operations Proponent to assure that the preliminary
engineering contractor is utilizing the Saudi Aramco Engineering
Standards and the Saudi Aramco Design Practices - Safety In
Facility Design in completing the design.
Loss Prevention
Many accidents are preventable if suitable measures are taken
early. The best time for such measures is in the Preliminary
and Detailed Engineering Phases. Information sources like the
Saudi Aramco Engineering Standards, Safety and Security
Directives from the Supreme Commission of Industrial Security
(SCIS) and other codes have been developed to define the
standard to be applied to company facilities. The proper
applications of these standards, codes, and regulations save the
company time, work, and money. The SAPMT should use

these standards, codes, and regulations as a prompt to initiate

talks on specific subjects between the SAPMT and the
Preliminary Engineering Contractor's staff. The results will be
more productive facilities and effective loss prevention.
Compliance with Design and Engineering Standards

Safety in design has two parts. These are:
• Design to prevent an accident from occurring.
• Design to limit the extent of loss when an accident does

occur.
The second is necessary because 100 percent prevention is

seldom possible or practical. The key to safety is a high level of
prevention, backed up by a high level of loss limitation.
1. For effective loss prevention through design, the Project

Engineer should utilize the following steps:
2. Define all factors that are related to the facility. These

factors include process requirements and positive and
negative influences of the machines and equipment to be
used.
3. Search the latest standards, codes, and regulations for

applicable guidelines and constraints.
4. Use practical experience and good industry practice to

design the safest possible system. Standards establish
minimums, which in some cases may need to be
exceeded.
5. Review all material purchase requisitions with loss

prevention in mind.
6. Request waivers for situations where it seems impractical

or not cost effective to meet the standards or codes. An
alternate method to get equal or better loss prevention
should be developed along with the waiver request. The
process for deviating from the Safety and Security
Directives (SSDs) will be discussed later; however, the
Saudi Aramco waiver procedures do not apply.

Deviations from SSDs can occur only after prior

approvals are obtained from the Chief Engineer and the
General Manager of Industrial Security.
7. Review criteria and design at each stage of development.

The Loss Prevention Department's representative can
help recognize oversights or inadequate evaluations of
risks.
The Project Engineer will want to keep the following in mind to

help identify factors that may affect facility design and
modification:
• Location, environment, and terrain
• Size and spacing of units
• Operator and maintenance access and exit platforms,

walkways, stairs, and ramps
• Materials handling and storage
• Fire prevention and protection
• Ergonomics: position, movement, illumination,

ventilation, information, and human responses
• Energy sources: electricity, heat, pressure, chemical,

steam, etc.
• Personal services: medical, food, toilets, training,

maintenance, personnel lockers, parking, etc.
Loss Prevention Engineers can give valuable input through an

"outside" look at a project. They can reinforce the expertise of
the Project Engineer, the Design Engineer and the Proponent.
To that technical base, they can add their knowledge of practical
applications of safety, health, and fire standards. They can also
help by their knowledge of accidents and common safety
problems in similar facilities. They may also know of current
activities that could conflict with or enhance safety in the project.
Materials represent a large part of all projects. In order to have

effective loss prevention, materials must be included in all
design reviews. At the time of Preliminary Engineering, the
Project Engineer should consider these purchasing controls:

• Check to see if materials or equipment are hazardous or

have safety requirements. Refer to Saudi Aramco, Saudi
Arab Government, and petroleum industry standards and
regulations.
• Specify guards and safety devices, or the appropriate

standards, in requests for equipment and tools.
• Identify hazardous materials on purchase requisitions.
• Request a material safety data sheet from the supplier.
• Pass on information about hazards in storage and use,

and on emergency treatment.
• Limit the quantity of material ordered to the amount that

is needed and can be safely stored.
• Specify labeling requirements for all containers. If a

substance is put into a small container for use, label it
with the name of the material, the type of hazard, and the
emergency treatment.
• Consider the cost of safety measures, as well as the cost

of the item, before deciding which equipment or material
to buy.
Safety problems are "bought" if the need for guards, insulation,

or safety devices are not specified. Savings from the purchase
of substandard equipment are quickly lost when safety features
have to be added after the equipment is delivered. Accidents
and delays in putting equipment to use are other costs of
inadequate purchasing controls.
The best engineered facility may still have hazards. In recent

years the Oil and Gas Industry has introduced the concept of
Hazard & Operability Studies (HAZOP), which are conducted by
appointed teams composed of company and contract
employees. The objective of the team is to identify hazardous
conditions that could occur when the facility is not in normal
operation. Examples to be reviewed include:
• Failure of equipment
• Start up of facility

• Shutdown of facility
HAZOP studies can be conducted during detailed engineering;

however, they are also applicable to preliminary engineering
and they can save considerable effort later on in the project.
HAZOP can be conducted from the P & IDs and Plot Plans as
soon as they are approved. HAZOP analysis are preventative
in nature, in other words, they are conducted before there is an
accident. They are intended to identify potential accidents and
reduce the risk of a failure.
The use of HAZOP analysis is very important and most, if not

all, of the major oil companies are using it. The analysis is
made by a team of individuals who represent a cross-section of
discipline expertise. As an example, the team should have
experience in process, instrumentation, electrical, rotating
equipment, piping/stationary equipment, etc. The HAZOP team
should be lead by a team leader who is specifically experienced
in conducting HAZOP analyses. The Project Engineer should
secure a team leader who has the specific experience, even if it
means going outside the preliminary engineering contractors
personnel to find the right person.
As an example of a simplified HAZOP application, an equipment

layout/plot plan is first defined to minimize piping runs and
energy requirements; however, some rearranging or
adjustments may be necessary due to hazards caused by
adjacent equipment that is incompatible.
In Saudi Aramco, a Hazard Identification Plan is used.

Addendum 1, "Execution Plan for Recommended Preventive
Safety-Related Measures to Avoid Construction Accidents on
Maintaining Potential Projects" is included for your use. The
plan highlights safety related measures to be implemented from
inception of design through construction. This plan was
developed as a result of a failure in the 30-inch QA-3 line.
Addendum 2, "The HAZOP Technique" gives the Participant

another approach to hazard identification. The emphasis in the
HAZOP is to identify potential problems, and not to solve them.
The process that is used to conduct a HAZOP is delineated in
the addendum.

SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS
As is the case with all project requirements, good security
identification and implementation begins at the very earliest
stages of a project, at the Preliminary Engineering Phase.
There are three aspects of security that must be considered:
• Security of the new facility
• Security of the existing facilities
• Security of the project during its execution
In order to assure that the ER package includes the full scope of

these items as well as their funds, they must be identified during
the Preliminary Engineering Phase.
Project Security Guidelines

On all sites, good security programs are necessary to:
• Prevent loss from theft
• Prevent injury or loss on the site from vandalism
• Protect personnel from hazards that exist on the site
How security is organized will depend on how the Project

Engineer has defined the security requirements of the contractor
in the contract. Items such as fencing, lighting, gate layout, gate
pass procedures, and visitor access must be considered as
early as possible, i.e., during the Preliminary Engineering
Phase. The Project Engineer should be prepared to identify the
impact to the budget and any early construction activities that
may be required.
The SAES-O Series of Saudi Aramco Engineering Standards

(SAES) have been established to aid the designer in clarifying
the technical aspects of the Saudi Arabian Government Safety
and Security Directives. These SSDs were received, in English
translation, by Saudi Aramco from the Saudi Arabian
Government Supreme Commission for Industrial Security.

SAES-O series shall be applied to the design of all new onshore

Saudi Aramco industrial facilities that are designated as vital to
the security of the Kingdom.
The Ministry of Petroleum and Mineral Resources letter No.

F/1400/609 in conjunction with SSD/2 shall be applied to the
design of all new offshore Saudi Aramco industrial facilities that
are designated as vital to the security of the Kingdom.
Vital is defined as:
"Any piece of equipment vulnerable to sabotage, in or

connected with a vital installation, where destruction or
damage would result in unacceptable interruption of the
installation’s services"
A vital installation is defined as any installation deemed

essential to the industrial productivity of the Kingdom and where
destruction or damage to the installation would result in an
unacceptable interruption of the industrial productivity of the
Kingdom.

Industrial Security Department

The Industrial Security Department is responsible for
maintaining security within the Saudi Aramco facilities. During
Preliminary Engineering, the Project Engineer must identify
those situations where security can be enhanced by providing
additional protection, which will aid the efforts of the Industrial
Security Department. Examples include: storage area fencing,
night guards around the construction site, and control of
contractor and company vehicles at the site.
The Project Engineer is encouraged to solicit expertise from the

Industrial Security Department to help in identifying the steps
and the associated costs that should be included in the ER
estimate.

ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS
Saudi Aramco is concerned with the quality of the environment.
In order to protect and preserve the environment, each new
project must do it's part. The Project Engineer is responsible for
assuring that the environment is preserved, and the place to
start is in the earliest phases of the project, during Preliminary
Engineering.
As a part of the Project Proposal, the Project Engineer is

responsible for preparing an Environmental Assessment to
evaluate environmental impacts of the project. This section will
discuss the Project Engineer's responsibilities in this regard.
Project Environmental Guidelines

Saudi Aramco Engineering Procedure-13, Project
Environmental Assessments, gives the procedure necessary to
prepare Environmental Assessments, which are to be included
in all Project Proposals and small (BI-1900) projects with
possible environmental impacts. An Environmental Assessment
describes and quantifies project actions and those discharges
and emissions regulated by environmental standards; predicts
the environmental changes that will occur from a project; and
demonstrates compliance with applicable Saudi Aramco and/or
Saudi Arabian Government environmental standards and policy.
The Environmental Assessment will elaborate on the relevant

facts in those cases where the project:
• Will not meet applicable environmental standards,
• Will cause significant environmental impacts, or
• Will not incorporate the best available technology for

environmental controls.
Environmental Assessments will be completed in the

Preliminary Engineering stage and will be treated as a primary
project design objective. The format for the Environmental
Assessment part of the Project Proposal is given below.

FORMAT FOR ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENTS
I. Water Quality
A. Existing Situation without the Project
B. Discharge Inventory
C. Water Quality Impacts

C. Air Quality Impacts
D. Control Techniques and Alternatives
III. Marine and Terrestrial Ecology
B. Impacts from Offshore and Onshore Projects
C. Control Techniques and Alternatives
IV. Summary of Impacts
A. Short-Term Impacts
B. Long-Term Impacts
Projects that may have an adverse environmental impact on

water quality, air quality, and marine and terrestrial ecology shall
be evaluated and the extent of the impact shall be described
quantitatively and qualitatively.
The following checklist shall be used to determine where

potential environmental impacts may arise. When these
impacts are determined, appropriate control techniques shall be
applied, and the applicable section of the assessment shall be
completed. This checklist is not intended to be comprehensive;

it is illustrative of the causes of environmental impact.

Examples of potential environmental pollution sources within
each impact area that may be included in Saudi Aramco
projects include:
Water Quality (includes all surface waters and groundwater)
• Sanitary Wastewater
• Thermal Discharges
• Oily Water
• Process Wastewater
• Hydrotest Water
• Desalination Reject Water
• Chemically Treated Wastewater
• Formation Water
• Runoff
• Subsurface Injection (Wastewater Disposal, Sea Water

Injection)
• Groundwater Withdrawal
• Tank Drainage
• Solid Wastes
• Hazardous Wastes
Marine and Terrestrial Ecology

• Wastewater
• Dredging and Excavation
• Pier Construction
• Air Pollutants
• Installation Abandonment
• Outfall and Intake Structures

• Thermal Discharges
• Borrow and Fill Operations
• Site Preparation
Air Quality
• Flares
• Boilers
• Burn Pits
• Gas Combustion Turbines
• Relief Valves
• Storage Vessels
• Hydrocarbon Loading Facilities
• Stacks
• Motor Vehicle Emissions
• Noise
The following are samples of what constitutes solid wastes,

hazardous wastes and noise:
Solid Wastes
• Sludge
• Tank Bottoms
• Construction Rubble
• Refuse
• Garbage
• Filter Material
• Containers

Hazardous Wastes
• Flammable Wastes
• Toxic Wastes
• Explosive Wastes
• Etiologic Wastes
• Corrosive Wastes
• Radioactive Wastes
Noise
• Compressors
• Pressure Relief Valves
• Pressure Reduction Stations
• Engines
• Pipe Bends
• Centrifugal Fans
• Traffic
Additional sources peculiar to a project's environmental impact

shall also be considered and included within the assessment.
The Chief of Environmental Affairs will interpret and advise on

the applicability of the environmental standards for specific
queries. If impact items are identified for which no standard or
policy exists, then the Chief of Environmental Affairs shall be
contacted for assistance. The Environmental Engineering
Division/Process & Control Systems Department shall be
contacted for assistance in the technical/engineering aspects of
the environmental standards.
The quantities, concentrations, and disposition of wastes and

pollutants that are generated in the construction and operation
of the proposed facilities shall be described in detail.
Standardized inventory forms routinely used by Saudi Aramco in

preparing discharge/emission inventories are available from the

Environmental Engineering Division/Process and Control
Systems Department.
Because environmental standards also regulate ambient

concentrations of pollutants, the pollutant levels in the
environment that exist before the project becomes operational
must be described. If the project will take several years to
construct, the environmental conditions at the time of start-up
shall be predicted. Both Saudi Aramco and non-Saudi Aramco
projects, if possible, in the vicinity must be considered to
completely characterize the existing or predicted environmental
conditions. The Environmental Engineering Division/Process
and Control Systems Department will assist in
determining/predicting ambient environmental conditions and it
will provide available background information upon request.
By superimposing the project's impacts upon the ambient

conditions, compliance or non-compliance with the appropriate
environmental standards can be shown. The necessary control
measures and compliance monitoring programs shall then be
discussed to show how the environmental standards will be
maintained. Saudi Aramco's environmental standards are
regularly revised to incorporate Saudi Arab Government
Standards including those of the Meteorology and
Environmental Protection Administration (MEPA) as well as
those of the Royal Commission for Jubail and Yanbu.
The SAPMT is ultimately responsible for providing the

environmental assessment along with the Project Proposal.
Once formed, the SAPMT will consult with the Industrial and
Environmental Affairs Department (I&EAD) and the Process and
Control Systems Department (P&CSD) to determine:
• What environmental information already exists.
• Areas that require further study and field work.
• How to contract any work to be done outside of the

Company.
• How to satisfy any additional government environmental

requirements simultaneously when conducting the
environmental assessment.
The P&CSD is responsible for the following:

• Preparing and updating the environmental standards.
• Advising on potential environmental problems.
• Providing existing information on ambient environmental

conditions.
• Advising and assisting in the preparation of

environmental assessments and environmental impact
statements.
• Reviewing scopes and work of SAPMT environmental

contractors when needed on larger environmental
assessments.
• Reviewing the Project Proposal environmental

assessments and BI-1900 project environmental impact
statements.
• Advising on environmental control and monitoring

programs.
The I&EAD is responsible for interpreting and advising on

environmental standards. The I&EAD also provides
environmental policy guidance in situations where
environmental standards do not presently exist. The I&EAD is
also responsible for reviewing the project to insure that
environmental controls are consistent with other Saudi Aramco
activities. The I&EAD is also responsible for liaising with the
Ministry of Petroleum and Minerals to determine which project
environmental assessments require the Ministry's review and
possible review by MEPA prior to construction.
The Programs, Forecasts and Analysis Department (PF&AD)

and the Facilities Planning Department are responsible for
referring all BI-1900 project briefs with environmental impact
statements to the P&CSD for review. PF&AD will not process
approval packages for BI-1900 projects if a statement is not
included. In addition, the Facilities Planning Department will
consult with I&EAD and P&CSD during development of the
Design Basis Scoping Paper (DBSP) to determine whether any
potential environmental impacts exist.

Environmental Engineering Division

The Environmental Engineering Division (EED)/P&CSD, which
consists of the Air & Marine Science Unit, Environmental
Engineering Unit and Environmental Compliance Unit, is the
corporate focal point for maintaining an environmental
information data base in the areas of air quality, water quality,
meteorology, oceanography, solid waste (hazardous/toxic) and
marine biology for use in projects, operations, claims and
standards compliance. EED also provides technical assistance
in environmental engineering to the corporation and helps
develop Saudi engineers to become specialists in environmental
engineering and other disciplines like marine biology and
oceanography. The EED also conducts, coordinates, and
monitors environmental studies and maintains, updates,
interprets and develops environmental standards.
The EED's programs include: Air Quality, Meteorology, Tide

Table/Tidal Analysis, Oceanographic Data, Marine Biology,
Water Treatment and Wastewater Management, Hazardous
Waste Management, Environmental Performance Assessment,
Solid/Hazardous Waste Management, and Environmental
Awareness.
Of particular interest in recent years, the discovery that halon

(Halon 1301) has a high ozone depletion potential. The
following information from industry sources highlight some of the
reasons and recent actions as they relate to halon application
restrictions:
"Scientists believe the destruction of stratospheric ozone has

serious potential consequences. The ozone layer shields the
Earth from harmful solar ultraviolet (UV) radiation, and any
significant reduction in the amount of ozone could allow an
increase in UV intensity at the Earth's surface. Scientists
believe this could lead to long-term increases in related human
diseases, as well as alterations in aquatic and terrestrial
ecosystems.
This growing evidence of ozone destruction has been a catalyst

in mobilizing a global response, which culminated in September
1987, when the United States, the European Economic
Community, and 23 other nations sighted the Montreal Protocol.

The Montreal Protocol is an agreement that restricts the

production of halon and other ozone-depleting chemicals,
including the entire family of CFCs. It originally limited only
halon production to 1986 levels. A revision to the protocol in
1990 implemented a progressive reduction of halon production
leading to a complete halt by the year 2000.
In November 1992, further changes to the Montreal Protocol

were finalized in Copenhagen. Of paramount interest to the fire
protection community is that the worldwide halon production
phase out date has been changed from the year 2000 to
January 1, 1994. At this time, some 87 nations have become
signatories to this important international treaty."
