Letter from the President
I hope that this newsletter will reach you before you pack your
bags for San Francisco. Everything is in place and we are ready
for another highly successful convention in this wonderful
location.
We again thank our sponsors for their continuous support for
this great event.
This extremely busy year for IPLOCA has passed very quickly. Our Members have
fully supported IPLOCA by participating extensively in our Regional Meetings and by
providing the key experts for our committees.
To provide just one striking example, more than 40 companies, including some of our
clients, and more than 110 persons in total, have participated in the various working
groups of our Novel Construction Initiative.
This support for Novel Construction has ensured the on-time production of its first
deliverable in San Francisco where “The Road to Success” will be presented. The Novel
Construction Initiative will continue next year and is a great example of what can be
achieved using IPLOCA as a forum for valuable initiatives relevant to our pipeline
industry.
The Training Committee has also seen significant developments in the last year and
is progressing quickly towards delivering high-value information to our Members.
Leonid Bokhanovskiy of Stroytransgaz has played an active role in the promotion of this
committee and recently hosted a meeting of the Training steering group in Moscow.
HSE is always at the top of IPLOCA’s priorities and in addition to their committee
activities, the members of the HSE Committee have also actively participated in the
Novel Construction Initiative.
It has been a great honour and a pleasure to serve as your President during this 2008/
2009 term. I wish to thank all the board members and the staff of the IPLOCA Secretariat.
Gilberte and I wish you the best and hope to see you in San Francisco.

Summertime in Geneva.
Caroline Green, Convention Manager and Sarah Junod,
Accounting Manager in the Geneva Secretariat office.
NEWS FROM GENEVAIt seems that most people are on vacation – judging by
the weekend gridlock the last few weeks on major routes
heading down to and back from the Mediterranean and the
absence of people in Geneva.
The roads are so quiet during the week that the commute
to the IPLOCA Secretariat takes only half the usual time.
But it’s time for us to finish coordinating all the last minute
details for the Convention, check and double check our
to-do lists, and pack the inevitable trunks of materials in
preparation for our exodus to San Francisco.
By the time we return, schools will be back in session here
and memories of Mediterranean holidays will be fading,
along with sun tans…
In the meantime, though, to give you an idea of what
to expect on Thursday and Friday at the Convention,
below you can find a list of the presentations for the Open
General Meetings. We are pleased to be able to offer this
broad range of topics from some excellent speakers:
In Search of Excellence in Pipeline ProjectsThursday, 9:10 – 9:40 am, Fairmont Terrace Room
Leslie Link, Manager, IPA Refining, Petrochemicals,
Pipelines & Terminals
Billions of capital dollars each year are being spent globally
on pipeline projects. Unfortunately, history suggests
that larger projects are at increased risk of poor cost
and schedule performance. IPA has conducted extensive
research into the functioning of capital projects and
project systems to understand the key drivers of project
performance and has identified key industry Best Practices
that drive excellent pipeline project performance. This
presentation will summarize these Best Practices and share
findings on how to avoid poor project performance.
Perspectives on North America Pipeline Projects in Coming YearsThursday, 10:30 – 11:00 am, Fairmont Terrace Room
Donald (Don) Wishart, Executive Vice-President,
Operations & Engineering, TransCanada
Supply and demand dynamics in North America for
both oil and natural gas have changed significantly
in recent years. Changes in oil supply will be dictated
by developments associated with Canadian heavy oil
production while natural gas supply dynamics will be
predominantly influenced by shale gas and northern
frontier gas developments. Demand for both commodities
will be influenced by marginal production costs and
by environmental legislations which create substantial
demand uncertainty. Collectively, these developments
should provide significant pipeline opportunities
throughout North America. Mr. Wishart will offer his
perspectives on the scope of potential pipeline projects
throughout North America over the next couple of decades.
The Importance of Visible LeadershipThursday, 11:00 – 11:30 am, Fairmont Terrace Room
Rebecca Roberts, President, Chevron Pipe Line Company
Managers often think that by simply stating their
expectations for a safe workplace that results will
immediately follow. This discussion will address the steps
that managers should take to engage their workforce
NUMBER 40 SEPTEMBER 2009 5
and to visibly demonstrate their commitment to safety.
Topics will include setting priorities, defining expectations,
assigning accountability, monitoring performance and
taking corrective action when necessary. Also included is
a discussion of balancing safety with cost and schedule
constraints.
Lands of SakhalinFriday, 10:15 – 10:45 am, Fairmont Terrace Room
Daslav Brkic, Vice President Business & Technology
Development, BU Onshore, Saipem and
Lucio Linassi, Russia Area Manager & Sakhalin II
Project Director, Saipem
The Sakhalin II project on the remote Russian island
in far eastern Siberia has been one of the largest and
most challenging integrated projects in the history of
oil and gas exploitation: tens of billions of US dollars of
overall investment, numerous design and technological
challenges, tens of thousands of construction workers
employed in a harsh subarctic environment to build
offshore platforms, offshore and onshore pipelines,
oil and gas processing facilities, an oil export terminal
and Russia’s first plant to liquefy and export natural gas.
The project involved 600,000 engineering man-hours
performed in four operating centres and almost 100 million
site construction man-hours. Following a brief introduction,
a movie will be shown to visually illustrate the project
challenges.
The Role of Engineers in Poverty Reduction: Challenges and OpportunitiesFriday, 10:45 – 11:15 am, Fairmont Terrace Room
Dr. Bernard Amadei, Engineers without Borders-
International
Today, an estimated 20 percent of the world’s population
lacks clean water, 40 percent lacks adequate sanitation,
and 20 percent lacks adequate housing. In the next two
decades, almost two billion additional people are expected
to populate the Earth, 95 percent of them in developing
or underdeveloped countries. This growth will create
unprecedented demands for energy, food, land, water,
transportation, materials, waste disposal, earth moving,
health care, environmental cleanup, telecommunication,
and infrastructure. As we enter the first half of the 21st
century, the engineering profession must embrace a new
mission statement—to contribute to the building of a more
sustainable, stable, and equitable world.
BOARD MEETING UPDATEBeijing, May 2009
No visit to Beijing is complete without a stop at Badaling and the
Great Wall. Not for the faint of heart, especially in the extremely
high temperature, it’s a steep climb. Margherita Jannuzzi
(foreground) considers a quicker way down…
Taishan Construction Machinery, an Associate Member of IPLOCA
since 2007, kindly held an evening dinner for the Board Members
and their guests in Beijing, hosted by Taishan’s Chairman of the

traditional music provided during the hors d’oeuvres.
Regional Meetings
Germany - AustriaKarl Trauner provided the Regional Meeting Report for
the Hannover Meeting. Sixty-three percent of regional
members (from Austria, Germany and part of the
Netherlands) were represented at the Hannover meeting
which included an excellent presentation by Eon Ruhrgas
and a visit to an engineering company specialising in
underground gas storage.
ChinaA first regional meeting was held in China on 19 May.
Some difficulties were encountered due to H1N1 flu, and
not many Chinese contractors were able to attend, but the
group heard interesting presentations on the market in
China and from Chinese suppliers.
CommitteesThe New Technologies, Training, Health, Safety &
Environment (HSE) and Strategic Development committees
each met and later reported to the full board. More
information about the committees is on the following pages.
Milan Meeting of IPLOCA, APIA, EPRG and PRCI Juan Arzuaga reported on the excellent meeting he
attended in Milan with EPRG, PRCI, and APIA. A mutual
cooperation proposal was discussed in Milan with these
three Associations and was presented to the Board to
include IPLOCA in a formal and mutually beneficial
relationship with these groups. IPLOCA would have voting
rights in research programmes which it has helped to
fund. The major owners and operators are also involved
in the work of the group and were well represented at the
meeting. The group is more client-oriented than contractor-
oriented, but is keen to receive input from the contractors.
Energy Pipeline Asia 2009

provider, for the Structural, Mechanical, Electrical and
Instrumentation works of Central Degassing Station
facilities in the Asab Field to accommodate a sustained
Asab production rate of 345 Mbopd, and for construction
of 36”x 92 km Main Oil Pipeline to export a peak of 720
Mbopd. The contract value is USD 225,000,000, with an
anticipated completion date of September 2012.
J. Ray McDermott Completes Construction of PEMEX Maloob-C Platform Bound for Bay of Campeche Houston-based J. Ray McDermott (“J. Ray”) recently bid
farewell to the Maloob-C drilling platform, built under a
contract for PEMEX Exploración y Producción (“PEMEX”),
Northeast Marine Region. The project is located in the Ku-
Maloob-Zaap field in the Bay of Campeche, Mexico, in 264
feet of water. “This was the first project for our fabrication
facility at Altamira, Mexico,” said John Nesser, J. Ray’s
Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer.
“Building on the successful completion of the Maloob-C
platform and with the facility’s capabilities and deep water
access to the Gulf of Mexico, we look forward to expanding
our relationship with PEMEX on future projects.” Work on
the drilling platform began in February 2008. Fabrication of
the two-level, 2,535-ton deck and the 3,527-ton jacket, factory
testing, onshore pre-commissioning and operational testing,
load out and sea fastening were all performed by J. Ray at
Altamira. Additionally, more than 3,300 tons of piles were
fabricated at J. Ray’s Morgan City, Louisiana facility for the
project using the facility’s rolling mill.
NUMBER 40 SEPTEMBER 2009 13
ON THE ROAD TO SUCCESS A New IPLOCA Publication “Onshore Pipelines:
THE ROAD TO SUCCESS” will launch in San Francisco
In 2003 a joint project began to investigate and improve
the laying of large diameter pipelines for better, safer and
faster installation. The land train concept was studied and
a number of working groups were formed to identify the
main bottlenecks and fields for potential improvement.
The land train concept only addressed the pipeline
construction aspects, and was later dropped in favour of
a broader perspective approach to address all phases of
the onshore pipeline
project from early
development through
design, construction
and commissioning.
Working groups,
drawn from IPLOCA
member companies
and a select group
of international oil
companies, set out
to create a guidance
document. Their
combined experience
led them to recognize
why the industry has struggled on some projects before,
why many projects have succeeded and what needs to be
done in order to succeed more often.
How can companies anticipate and avoid challenges
before beginning construction, conduct construction work
to minimize exposure to further challenges and reach
the mutual agreement necessary for the foundation for
a successful contract, addressing both known and as yet
unknown challenges?
The intent of “the Road to Success” is to provide the
reader with the basic knowledge to improve the delivery
of a project, i.e. cost and schedule, while reducing the
environmental footprint and achieving the desired
safety objectives. The resulting 400 page document is
currently in print production and will launch at the IPLOCA
Convention in San Francisco. It is hoped that “The Road to
Success” will assist all stakeholders in the development
and construction of pipeline projects - project managers
and engineers working for investor/owners, designers
and environmentalists, construction contractors and
subcontractors and their construction personnel, senior
management and project engineers.
Finally, it is hoped that it will be of particular benefit in
training, used by students and teachers in the pipeline
industry. One copy will be made available to each Member
or Associate Member delegate at the San Francisco
Convention and to each participant having contributed
to the document. Additional copies will be available for
purchase in the weeks following the convention.
More information will soon be available at
www.iploca.com/roadtosuccess
Comments and enquiries may be addressed to
Industry-wide collaborationThe list of those companies and persons having
participated in this joint effort is significant. A wide
range of companies and individuals from oil & gas
investors & owners, design companies, construction
contractors, suppliers and specialised subcontractors
have collaborated in this work to produce a document
intended for wide use in the pipeline Industry.

Huge tunnel to be built under San Francisco Bay
Hoping to protect one of
the Bay Area’s main water supplies after the next major
earthquake, construction crews will soon embark on a
job that sounds like something out of a Jules Verne novel:
building a massive, 5-mile-long tunnel underneath San
Francisco Bay.
The project is believed to be the first major tunnel ever
built across the bay. Using a giant boring machine,
workers will carve a 14-foot high corridor through clay,
sand and bedrock from Menlo Park to Newark as deep as
103 feet below the bay floor. They’ll then run a 9-foot-high
steel water pipe through the middle. “All the experts tell
us that within the next 30 years, there is a 63 percent
chance of having a major earthquake in the Bay Area,”
said Ed Harrington, general manager of the San Francisco
Public Utilities Commission, which is in charge of
the project.
