QA / QC SYSTEMS IN-HOUSE

ISO COMPLIANCE & SAFETY MANAGEMENT

QUALITY ASSURANCE AND QUALITY CONTROL

QA/QC Systems in-house. ISO Compliance & Safety Management To ensure that Taknia work as one cohesive unit throughout its operations based on its predecessor company (Teknica (UK) Ltd.), common policies, goals and objectives have been established. These policies, goals and objectives have been documented within the Quality Management System, structured in accordance with the International System ISO 9001. The system was assessed and approved by SGS Yarsley in 1997, and is reassessed bi-annually. This approval relates to project and construction management, engineering design, procurement and inspection services, recruitment and construction services for the oil and gas, petrochemical and process industries. Currently, arrangements are being done to get the Certification of the same system for the new established TLEC.

Whilst Taknia recognises that quality is the responsibility of everyone involved within the Company, specific Project Quality Management Systems (PQMS) are prepared to meet both the Client and Contract requirements. The PQMS is structured in four tiers. These being:

(i) Project Execution Plan (ii) Project Quality Plan (iii) Project Corporate Procedures (iv) Codes and Standards

Project Quality Management System Overview

The Project Execution Plan, the 1st tier document of the Project Quality Management System (PQMS) shown in Figure 1, will identify the organisation, interfaces, authorisation, reporting levels and responsibilities within the Project structure and execution method for successful completion of the Project.

The Project Quality Plan shall be the 2nd tier document, will be prepared and act as the ‘umbrella’ document for the overall PQMS. It shall define, in general terms, the overall Quality Assurance (QA), Quality Control (QC), and any certification arrangements for the Project, in accordance with the requirements of the Contract and ISO 9001:2008.

It should be noted that Taknia recognise the similarities and close links between Quality, Safety and Environmental systems, it is intended that these shall be co-ordinated within the overall Project Execution Plan.

The Project procedures shall form the 3rd tier of the PQMS. These shall be selected from the standard corporate procedures, to cover the full scope of the contracted work and amended where necessary to make them Project specific.

Codes and standard shall form the 4th tier of the PQMS. The codes and standards to be employed for the Project shall be listed with the relevant issues to ensure that the design, procurement and construction meet the requirements of regulatory, health and safety and environmental requirements.

Figure 1 Project Quality Plan The general Project Quality Plan will be developed at the commencement of the Project identifying the overall Quality Assurance arrangements for the Project. This plan will highlight the major processes and identify the responsibilities and control procedures for the overall scope of work. It will be structured in a user friendly manner such that it will be easier to read, follow and understand. The plan shall be a live document and shall be updated as required, to cater for any revisions or additions to the Project. The Quality Plan will be divided into two sections, the first section covering the more general aspects, e.g. issue and distribution, terms and definitions, organisation, quality improvement etc., whilst the second section outlines how the requirements of each relevant clause of ISO 9001:2008 shall be addressed on the Project. Included within the first section, shall be the quality objectives for the Project, which are to ensure that all activities within the Contracted Scope of Work are: • Planned and performed in such a manner that all facilities provided by the Project,

within the Contracted Scope of Work, are safe, reliable and free of errors and deficiencies.

• Planned and performed to achieve quality ‘fit for purpose’ within the budget and

schedule requirements, without over-design or unnecessarily stringent specifications. • In accordance with Contractual requirements. • Performed correctly the first time, to ensure cost effectiveness and efficiency.

Procedures The Plan shall include the Quality Activity Control Plan which shall describe in detail the Quality Assurance/Quality Control arrangements, for the full Contracted Scope of Work and shall identify the 3rd tier controlling procedures relating to specific individual aspects of the overall workscope and shall take cognisance of those systems and procedures which shall be common across the Project to ensure that all interfaces have been addressed. Where there is a need to address non-standard business processes or specific Client requirements then the existing standard procedures shall be amended to become Project specific. Quality Audits To verify compliance with the Project Quality Plan and other documentation making up the Project Quality Management System, a programme of internal quality audits shall be undertaken to an agreed schedule. It is the intention that such audits, as well as providing assurance that quality related activities are being carried out in accordance with specified requirements, should also be proactive in identifying and facilitating solutions for any deficiencies detected and for identifying areas for improvement. Management Reviews The Project Quality Management System shall be subject to periodic reviews by the Project Management team, these reviews will form part of the Corporate review.

Safety Management System Health and Safety policy is a key part of effective health and safety management and is defined by the management team using statutory guidance. The safety management system, detailed within this document, should be read in association with the Company health and safety policy document. The systems for managing safety are subject to regular and frequent review in an effort to achieve continuously improving safety standards, which result in a living safety management system. The safety management system is a series of policies and procedures which, when combined, form the system for managing health and safety within the Company. In compliance with the Health and Safety legislation, risk assessments are carried out on our safety management system. Full details of risk assessment and methodology adopted are detailed within that system.

The Company monitors the safety system in line with the quality procedures laid down in the Company quality manual. Records of near miss situations, staff feedback, injuries to staff or members of the public or incidents of occupational ill health are all maintained and monitored by the management team. The company ensures full and effective co-operation with our clients will be given and all information requested will be provided. Health and Safety policy is reviewed annually and the safety management procedures are discussed by the management team. A full safety management system review is carried out during the six monthly quality management review meetings. System and Policy alterations and improvements are suitably amended and implemented to facilitate the Company’s continuous improvement policy.

TOBRUK REFINERY EXPANSION The original project consisted of the installation of a hydrotreating unit as an extension of the existing Tobruk refinery, including vessels, heat exchangers, distillation columns, centrifugal pumps, compressors, reactors, fired heaters, and all interconnecting pipework. Also included is the installation of 13 storage tanks and pumping stations, and a new telecommunication system for the refinery. Due to problems in Yugoslavia, where the original contractor was based, and subsequently the imposition of UN sanctions on refinery equipment, the project was reduced to installation of the additional tankage only. Taknia were appointed as Project Management consultants to represent AGOCO in supervising the project contractors. This role has extended to engineering services for the reduced scope of work. In March 1996, AGOCO appointed Taknia as turnkey contractor for the interconnecting piping scope, a contract valued at £3.2 million. The project was completed in September 1997.

ARABIAN GULF OIL COMPANY

TOBRUK REFINERY UPGRADE (REFORMER COMPLEX) The Tobruk Refinery Upgrade Project followed on from the previous phase of Expansion Project and involved the revamp of the existing Crude Distillation and Stabilisation Units to increase the capacity throughput by 20%, and addition of a new Reformer Complex comprising Naphtha Hydrotreating, Catalytic Reforming, Benfree (benzene reduction), Isomerisation, and Deethaniser Units, as well as upgrading the utilities and other offsites facilities. Taknia was appointed as the Project Management Consultant on the project. The Front End Design work to debottleneck the Crude Distillation and Stabilisation Units and to upgrade the utilities and offsites was prepared by Taknia.

The Technology for the Reformer Complex was provided by the IFP (Institute Francais du Petrole), who also developed the Basic Design packages for the licensed process units. Taknia’s responsibilities included the development of the basic design requirements for the project, review of licensors design packages and the preparation of Project Specifications. We also carried out pre-qualification of International EPC Contractor and prepared the Tender Documents for turnkey bidding. After issue of the Invitation to Tender to a selected group of International Bidders, Taknia handled all bidders queries up to the date of Bid submission. Meanwhile, Tender Evaluation Procedures for client review and consideration were prepared. Subsequently, a team from Taknia’s home office was dispatched to Libya to carry out Technical Evaluation of the Bids received from the EPC Contractors.

AZZAWIYA OIL REFINING COMPANY

REFINERY REVAMP PROJECT The main objective of ARC’s Revamp project is to optimise the refinery’s product line by maximising gasoline production through additional catalytic reforming capacity, and the addition of a new Naphtha Isomerisation Unit and conversion of fuel oil into diesel and gasoline. Proposed units include a naphtha hydrotreater, continuous catalytic reformer, isomerisation, residue catalytic cracker, LPG sweetening, gasoline sweetening, gas/oil hydrotreater, dimersol, MTBE, sulphur plant, and all offsites and utilities to support the new units. Included in the revamp scope is the modernisation of the existing refinery control system.

Taknia formed a joint venture with John Brown Engineers & Constructors (51% Taknia / 49% John Brown) to bid for, and eventually win, the contract for Management Consultancy. Included in the joint venture’s scope is the execution of basic design, including process licensor selection, bid packages, and subsequent supervision of the detailed engineering and construction contractors. Due to the imposition of UN sanctions on refinery equipment, the project was put on hold after completion of the basic design in mid-1996.

• Safety Systems

• Operations and Maintenance

The Conceptual Engineering for this Project was completed in June 1998, which resulted in a Development Plan being issued by LASMO for NOC approval.

LASMO GRAND MAGHREB

FRONT END ENGINEERING DESIGN FOR NC-174

Following the successful completion of the Conceptual Study for NC-174, detailed on the previous page, Taknia tendered for and were awarded the Front End Engineering Design (FEED) for the LASMO-NC-174 Elephant Field. The purpose of the FEED is to develop the conceptual studies to become a scope of work for the invitation to tender for an Engineer, Procure, Install and Commission (EPIC) contract for phase one facilities.

Phase 1 comprises production through new facilities and export pipeline system. Production is targeted to commence as soon as is practicable and build to 50,000 bopd. The production will be obtained via recompletion and production from wells F1, F2 and F3 – together with up to five additional wells that may be added to provide well deliverability as required. Production will be stabilised using the first two trains of a production facility located in the vicinity of the F1 well. Oil export will be via a 24 inch pipeline with a nominal capacity of 220,000 bopd constructed to tie-in at NC115 for transportation to Azzawiya. During this phase the production rate will be maximised through the available facilities in order to gain valuable reservoir performance data as early as possible. Front End Engineering Design was completed in mid-1999.

LASMO GRAND MAGHREB / AGIP OIL

PROJECT MANAGEMENT AND ENGINEERING SUPPORT FOR NC-174

Following the successful completion of the conceptual study for NC-174, in Libya, Taknia tendered for and were awarded the Front End Engineering Design (FEED) for the LASMO-NC-174-Elephant Field. The Front End Engineering Design was completed in mid 1999 and a package, suitable for tender purposes for an Engineering, Procurement, Installation and Commissioning (EPIC) contract, was produced by Teknica and handed over to Lasmo. In March 2001, Taknia were awarded a contract by Lasmo Grand Maghreb Limited, to provide Project Management and Engineering Support Services and provide personnel, equipment and/or materials to support the activities in relation to the development of the Elephant Field in Libya. In late 2001 Taknia carried out a further study on behalf of Lasmo to define the changes to the F-N-C-174 facilities to accommodate the following scope: • Phase 2 process train to be executed in parallel and simultaneously as Phase 1. • The 50,000 bbl in line tanks in each process train, developed in the original FEED, to

be substituted with 100,000 bbl tanks. This study was completed in December 2001 and passed over to Lasmo. In the spring of 2002 Lasmo went out to tender for the EPIC Contract using the revised scope, but following the production of revised reservoir data, the basic process data was amended to take cognisance of this and the contractors requested to re-bid. In March 2003 the contract was assigned to Agip Oil, subsequent to Eni’s buyout of LASMO in 2002. The project is now complete.

REPSOL OIL OPERATIONS

NC-115 FIELD DEVELOPMENT

The project consists of the development of the three oil fields that comprise the NC-115 concession area, the installation of gas and oil separation facilities, natural gas compression and treatment facilities, interfield oil and gas transportation pipelines, central power generation facilities and power generation facilities at each of the three fields, main pump station facilities at the Central Field (A) and an 800km, 30” diameter crude oil pipeline to Azzawiya, a 250km fibre-optic based telecommunications system and a 350-man residential, administrative and maintenance facility at the NC-115 Field 800km south of Tripoli.

The project was completed in three stages, i.e., the early production programme whereby 50,000 bpd was produced from A-115 Field using temporary facilities. These facilities were decommissioned in January 1998. Phase I produced 70,000 bpd from largely completed permanent facilities. Production was limited to

70,000 bpd due to capacity restrictions in storage at Azzawiya Refinery. Phase II, now complete, is designed to produce up to 235,000 bbls/day from “A”, “B” and “H” Fields. Taknia’s role in this project was to undertake all engineering studies, preliminary engineering design, detailed engineering of all facilities, specifications and drawings, bid enquiry documents, material and equipment inspection, approval of vendors’ engineering designs, planning/scheduling, and construction inspection services. Construction commenced in early 1996. Procurement and contract works formed a significant part of the Taknia role on behalf of Repsol Oil Operations NC-115 Development Project. Taknia, having completed basic engineering and prepared equipment specifications, data sheets and Systems Operating Philosophies then prepared purchase enquiry packages complete with all commercial and contractual documents. These were then issued to a selected bidders list. Taknia prepared purchase orders having worked through a format process of technical evaluation, clarification and negotiation before arriving at the successful vendor.

After purchase order award, Taknia reviewed and approved vendor technical design and managed vendor inspection and equipment performance testing. Inspectors reported directly to engineers via a special Inspection Co-ordinator. This enabled efficient resolution of vendor queries, non-conformances and concession requests. Ultimately final inspection release notes and shipping instructions were issued. A materials status tracking system pro-actively reported on outstanding materials, which were then vigorously expedited using specialist expediters. Advice to the Client was given regarding validity of invoices received for payment, measurement of vendor performance and work completion being performed before recommending payment. With respect to contracts for construction Taknia completed all basic engineering and also detail engineering in certain areas, designed and defined interfaces between contractor and Client’s purchased equipment before preparing contract scopes of work and contract agreement documents. Similarly to equipment purchase orders, Teknica prepared recommended bidders lists, issued the enquiry documents, evaluated bids and worked through a process of clarification and negotiation before recommending the successful contractor to the Client and preparing contracts for signature. Post contract award, Taknia resolved technical and contractual issues raised and, depending on the nature of the contract, reviewed and approved the contract works. For both purchase orders and contracts, Taknia evaluated requests for variations and prepared amendments for signature. During the construction phase, Taknia provided field based teams of specialist inspectors and construction supervisors to assist the Client in monitoring contractor performance and adherence to programmes and specifications.

WAHA OIL COMPANY

FAREGH FIELD DEVELOPMENT PHASE 1

This development of Waha’s Faregh field was started by another contractor in the mid 1980’s, then suspended. A contract was awarded to Taknia in 1993 to validate and complete the engineering design, provide procurement support and preparation of a construction contract bid package.

The project involves the drilling of 27 oil wells, the flow from which is routed through a remotely operated heating station and on to a central treatment plant where the oil is stabilised and the gas dried and dew point controlled. The plant has a capacity of 30,000 BOPD and 70 MMSCFD of associated gas. The oil is then transported through a 12” diameter 70 km pipeline for further processing and the gas is exported via a 24” diameter, 100km line.

Taknia’s scope of work included the following deliverables: • Construction Drawings • Requisitions • Specifications • Data Sheets • Material Take-off / BOM • Equipment Lists • Piping, Instrumentation and Electrical Schedules • Construction Bid Packages • Operating Manuals • Document Registers Taknia’s scope was completed in 2000, following incorporation of final vendor data into the design and documentation.

WAHA OIL COMPANY

FAREGH FIELD DEVELOPMENT PHASE 2

The contract for Phase 2 of development at Waha’s Faregh field was awarded to Taknia in the autumn of 2000. Taknia’s scope was the FEED and partial Detail Engineering, culminating in the issue of enquiry documents for an EPIC contract. The Waha Faregh Phase II Project includes the development of a facility to take gas reserves contained in a number of gas caps and, following treatment, to export the resultant sales gas via the gas pipeline being constructed in Phase I. 180 MMSCFD of gas is planned to be exported at 1100 psig. Included in the scope are: • Remote wellhead facilities • Gas gathering flowlines • Gas reception facilities • Hydrocarbon dewpointing and dehydration • Export gas compression • Condensate handling and stabilisation • Condensate export • Utilities and offsites

Gas Processing Facilities

Gas from the onshore production wells flows to the Faregh Phase II Gas Plant inlet manifold via dedicated buried flowlines. Gas is then collected in a common production header and routed to the Slug Catcher. Gas from individual wells may also be routed via a common test header to the Test Separator. Liquid hydrocarbon is routed from the Slug Catcher under flow, reset by level control to the condensate stabilisation facilities. Water from the Slug Catcher is routed under interface level control to the Water De-gassing Drum, which operates against flare back pressure. Water from the Water De-gassing Drum is pumped to the Faregh Phase I Processing Plant water disposal facilities.

Gas from the Slug Catcher feeds a single gas processing train designed to export 180MMSCFD. The gas processing train consists of: • Gas dehydration facilities • Hydrocarbon dewpointing facilities • Export gas compression and metering

The gas dehydration facilities consist of a Glycol Contactor, which reduces the water content of the process gas to meet the downstream processing requirements / export gas specification. Glycol regeneration facilities are also included.

The hydrocarbon dewpointing facilities consist of the Propane Refrigeration Package, which cools the process gas to meet the export gas hydrocarbon dewpoint specification. Gas from the dehydration and dewpointing facilities is compressed and metered before entering the gas export pipeline.

Condensate Processing Facilities

The condensate stabilisation facilities consist of:

• Stabiliser Feed Drum • Stabiliser Column • Recycle Gas Compression

These facilities are designed to process raw condensate from the slug catcher and from the gas dewpointing train to achieve the required export condensate RVP specification. The Stabiliser Feed Drum flashes condensate from the Slug Catcher and gas dewpointing facilities. Flash gas under pressure control flows to the suction of the Recycle Gas Compressors. Liquid, under level control flows to the Stabiliser Column via the Feed Bottoms Exchanger.

The Condensate Stabiliser column stabilises the liquid feed from the Stabiliser Feed Drum to the required RVP specification. Stabilised condensate is routed directly to the existing Faregh Phase I crude storage facilities, via the Feed Bottoms Exchanger and the Rundown Cooler. Off specification condensate is routed to off specification storage and held until it can be re-processed in the Stabiliser Column. Storage consists of a single fixed roof tank having a total capacity of 5000 bbl, equivalent to approximately 8 hours production at unit design rate.

Gas from the overhead of the Stabiliser Column is combined with gas from the Stabiliser Feed Drum, compressed by the Recycle Gas Compressor and returned to the inlet of the gas dehydration facilities. Taknia completed the project in early 2003.

SIRTE OIL COMPANY

ATTAHADDY GAS FIELD DEVELOPMENT PROJECT

The Attahaddy gas field is located in the Sirte Basin, approximately 90 km south of Marsa El Brega on the Mediterranean coast and 20 km west of the existing oil and gas transmission pipelines from the Zelten fields to the Brega facilities. The gas plant comprises two identical parallel trains with each train capable of processing 175 MMSCFD of raw feed gas, thus processing a total of 350 MMSCFD. The plant produces approximately 270 MMSCFD of product gas and 31,000 BPD of condensate, depending on the production profile year and ambient conditions. The products are exported via separate trunk lines and tied-in (at km 91.5) to the main transmission lines to Brega.

The plant facilities include:

Individual wellheads and flowlines to manifolds

Inlet separation and cooling

CO2 Removal: MDEA process

Gas Dehydration and Dew Point Control : Propane refrigeration with MEG injection Mercury Removal: Solid absorbent bed process using a metal oxide on an aluminium based absorbent Various utility systems

The process control system is implemented using a Distributed Control System (DCS). The DCS performs all control and monitoring functions including normal process start-up and shutdown. A DCS ensures a high level of control and reliability thus enabling the plant to be operated continuously. Taknia’s contract was to provide a fully detailed process package including a master project schedule and a ± 20% cost estimate to enable an EPC contractor to bid and be selected. The Basic Design was completed in July 1998. Taknia also provided supplementary engineering services during the EPC development stages and onsite commissioning services at plant start-up.

Fire protection for the farm consists of dedicated fire and foam pump houses, a 12 inch firewater ring main feeding 49 hydrants and a tank rim seal fire protection system. The fire water is supplied from two ponds located adjacent to the firewater pump house. The ponds are supplied with seawater from a marine pump house located at Ras Lanuf Harbour. A 12 inch carbon steel pipeline is used to transport the water to the ponds and also to provide fire protection for the Harbour, Recovery Tank, Metering, Warehouse and Airport areas. Problems with pump cavitation and throughput restriction were reported for the pumps located at the Harbour and the 12-inch pipeline has suffered severe corrosion. Veba Oil Operations commissioned a study to investigate the problems associated with the marine pump house and pipeline and to prepare recommendations for their replacement. Options included use of alternative vertical pumps and a new pump house located to ensure flooded pump suction. The pipeline size and material type was also investigated during the study. The fire protection of the Harbour, Recovery Tank, Metering, Warehouse and Airport were reviewed and recommendations for a new system prepared.

The study addressed the existing fire protection facilities at the Tank Farm and recommended a revised safety philosophy. Different fire scenarios were investigated and new fire protection equipment recommended to meet the new protection strategy. Costs and schedules were developed for the recommended modifications at all locations and a scope of work prepared for the future Front End Engineering Design. The study duration was approximately 35 weeks.

NATIONAL OIL CORPORATION

PREPARATION OF STANDARDS AND SPECIFICATIONS

The Libyan oil and gas industry consists of a number of operating companies, with differing origins, under the umbrella of the National Oil Corporation, (NOC). Each of the operating companies utilised their own design standards and specifications, which resulted in a variety of requirements for engineering design of their products and processing facilities. NOC embarked on a programme to standardise design specifications across the Libyan oil industry and awarded Taknia the contract to develop a standard set of engineering design specifications for use by all of its operating companies. Taknia executed the project by:

• Evaluating the existing engineering design standards and practices from the various operating companies.

• Determining which process unit operations and technologies were currently in use by the operating companies.

• Considering which process units were planned in the next 5 to 10 years. • Selecting the applicable design codes that are required to be followed, e.g. ASME,

ANSI, ASTM, API, TEMA, IEC, NFC etc. Taknia developed through this process a total of 310 general engineering specifications for use across all disciplines in the oil and gas industry. Throughout the process of this development, drafts were issued to NOC who obtained comments from the respective operating companies. Taknia vetted all comments on the specifications and by resolving all conflicting comments produced standards specifications acceptable to NOC and the operators. At the completion of the development of all required standards in late 1999, the final product was published in a set of 30 bound volumes. These standards, which are available on CD ROM, are now being utilised by the Libyan oil industry in its design work for new developments.
