1.0 INTRODUCTION

1.1 General

PETRONAS CARIGALI (Pakistan) Ltd. (PCPL) is undertaking the development of Mehar Gas Field in Mehar Block (Block 2767-1) located in Sindh and Balochistan Provinces of Pakistan.

PCPL intends to develop the Mehar Field by installing a Gathering System, Gas Processing Facility (GPF) and Product Storage & Loading Facilities. The field facilities will be developed in two phases, Phase-I and Phase-2. Phase-1 development will cater to 55 MMSCFD of gas productions and Phase-2 will cater to 80 MMSCFD of gas productions. The expected condensate production rate is 6600 BPD for Phase-I and 7000 BPD for Phase-2. From GPF, treated sales gas will be exported through a new pipeline to existing SSGCL/SNGPL gas pipeline. Stabilized condensate and produced LPG will be exported by road tankers.

Mehar Block is located in the Kirthar Fold belt area, in the Middle Indus Basin. Mehar field is located about 190 km west of Sukkur and 400 km north of Karachi in Sindh province. The environment is arid and the terrain is mountainous. Mazarani gas field, operated by PPL is situated about 25 km to the north, while Zamzama gas field operated by BHP is situated about 70 km to the north of Mehar Field.

Mehar field consists of Pab and Ranikot formations. The wells will be connected to the new GPF through a Gathering System. There will be a total of 8 wells (4 in Pab & 4 in Ranikot) in Phase-1 and 3 additional wells (2 in Pab & 1 in Ranikot), totaling 11, in Phase-2 of the Mehar field development.

In order to facilitate proper installation of the actuator, the required mounting facility on the valves shall be designed and manufactured in consultation with the Supplier of the valve actuator.

The design thrust or torque for actuator selection and all drive train calculations shall be at least twice the breakaway thrust or torque. However, when the valve is running, a minimum factor of safety of 1.25 times differential is obligatory between the maximum torque / thrust required to cycle the valve (with maximum differential pressure across the valve) and the output torque / thrust developed by the actuator, with air driven stroke of 3.5 barg, and spring driven stroke.

6.3 Stroking Time

Unless other stroking times are indicated in the requisition, the following stroking times for both directions are required:

1 second per inch of nominal size with a maximum of 45 seconds. If faster stroking times are required, high capacity valve positioners should be considered. If these are not available, then additional boosters or quick-exhaust valves shall be installed.

Valves used for on/off service (e.g. ESD valves, or control valves with a trip function) shall have a stroking time as indicated on the P&IDS or in the requisition or instrument data sheet.

If air pressure is used to close the valve under emergency conditions or to assist the spring force, the size of the air signal line and fittings and the air capacity of the accessories shall be designed to ensure the specified stroking time.

The effect of stroking time on the pressure build-up in liquid-filled lines (hydraulic shock or water hammer) should be checked.

Similarly, to prevent shock-loading of process equipment downstream of fail-closed shut-off valves, a special design may be required to ensure controlled (re-)opening of these valves.

The stroking times are applicable to the valve with accessories, e.g. solenoid valves, etc.

6.4 Actuator Colour Coding

The colour of the actuator shall be in accordance with the painting specification number 12-MGDP-P-1005 unless otherwise specified in the requisition or by COMPANY. To

The make of filter regulator shall be as specified in the requisition.

The air filter regulators shall be of the reducing-relief valve type, with drainage facility and bolt adjustment provided with a locking facility, e.g. a locking nut, to prevent tampering.

Air filter regulator shall be 316SS body with 316SS output gauge.

Glass (bowl-type) filter regulators shall not be used.

Filter regulators shall be mounted vertically so that they are self-draining.

If the actuator is capable of withstanding full instrument air pressure (specified maximum design condition of the instrument air supply system), no regulator shall be installed, only a filter.

7.7 Filters

If a filter regulator is not installed an air filter shall be installed in the instrument air supply line to the valve. The air filter shall be provided with a manual drainage facility and a filter
