The above tie-in points will be connected after the piping installation and pressure test
under the valve are completed. Before the construction of tie-in points, the flowline needs
to be shut down, flushed and purged. After the replacement of the medium inside the
flowline is qualified, the flowline will be cut by the cold cutting machine. After the pipe has
been cut, the mud plug (bentonite) should be used to close the open cut end of the pipe.
After the plugging is completed and the gas detection is qualified, the tie-in activity will be
carried out. Considering that the construction location of tie-in point is small, all four joints
of the tee, pipe spool and flange will be carried out welding on site. Field welding points
are shown in the figure below.

In addition, the construction of these four tie-in points (TP-215305, TP-215306, TP-
215307, TP-215308) can be carried out at the same time, because they are all connected
with PAD-OGM052. Similarly, the tie-in points (TP-215309, TP-215310, TP-215311, TP-
215312) are connected to PAD-OGM056, (TP-215313, TP-215314, TP-215315, TP-
215316) are connected to PAD-OGM083, (TP-215317, TP-215318, TP-215319, TP-
215320) are connected to PAD-OGM075. The construction of the above tie-in points can
be carried out at the same time.

The above tie-in points are all connected to the original flowline by flange, and there are
valves for isolation. The shut-down for the flowline is required for tie-in point construction.
First close the valve. Remove the blind on the valve and install the flange, and add a
temporary blind plate between the flange and the valve for isolation and pressure test.

The above tie-in points are all connected to the original flowline by flange, but there are
no valves for isolation. The shut-down, flushing and purging for the flowline is not required
for tie-in point construction. After the tie-in point construction is completed, a temporary
blind plate will be installed behind the valve of the new line for isolation.

The above tie-in joints are all connected to one flowline, and three spectacle blind plates
need to be installed. Before the construction of tie-in points, the flowline needs to be shut
down, flushed and purged. After the replacement of the medium inside the flowline is
qualified, the vertical flowline will be cut by the cold cutting machine. After the cold cutting,
install the spectacle blind. After the pipe has been cut, the mud plug (bentonite) should be
used to close the open cut end of the pipe. After the plugging is completed and the gas
detection is qualified, the tie-in activity will be carried out. The tie-in points are shown in
the figure below.

These two tie-in points is between the new drain system and the old drain system. Before
the construction of tie-in points, the flowline needs to be shut down, flushed and purged.
After the replacement of the medium inside the flowline is qualified, the flowline will be cut
by the cold cutting machine. After the pipe has been cut, the mud plug (bentonite) should
be used to close the open cut end of the pipe. After the plugging is completed and the gas
detection is qualified, the tie-in activity will be carried out. After the tie-in point construction
is completed, a temporary blind plate will be installed behind the valve of the new line for
isolation.

These two tie-in points is between the new firefighting system and the old firefighting
system. Before the construction of tie-in points, the flowline needs to be shut down and
the water in the line needs to be drained. After the discharge of the medium inside the
flowline is completed, connect the new firefighting line and the old firefighting line by
flange.
