Facilities - Phase III Fire and Gas Detection Systems, and is based on the basis of design of
Instrumentation & Control Design Basis for the fields. The philosophy incorporates lessons
learned concerning the existing configuration and the specific requirements of the phase III
development.

This document is intended to present the Fire and Gas System philosophy consistent with
industry-accepted practices and / or PROJECT standards and has to be read in conjunction
with the engineering narrative and scope of work for the Rumaitha / Shanayel Facilities -
Phase III ( Gathering GI / CO2/ Gas lift & WI ) Oil export/ Gas Export Pipelines Project for
ADCO Definitions.

This philosophy given in this document gives the broad guidelines for implementation with

signals to the Instrumented Protective System for the Emergency shutdown and
Depressurization, as required.

All F&G system indications and alarms, shall be indicated on the ICSS Operator
consoles MIMIC’s displays. In addition on the LCD displays mounted in the CPP
control room.

Fire and Gas detection of Clusters and Remote wells of Rumaitha/Shanayel Phase-III
will be monitored from the ICSS operator consoles at CPP. In addition the local
operator consoles at each Clusters and remote wells will be provided for local
monitoring.

As per section 4.1 of Shell Dep 32.30.20.11, the number, type and location of
detectors shall be determined by an assessment of selection criteria, including:
Regulatory requirements;
Hazardous area zoning, Safety Study results;
Limits of equipment congestion;
Potential leak sources and areas where accumulation of gas may be likely or
particularly hazardous;
Type of detection approach to be provided – perimeter, area, or equipment
specific;
Detector voting logic to be deployed;
Properties of process fluids (composition, volatility, phase, temperature, pressure,
toxicity);
Characteristics of potential releases (jet or flashing liquid, plume, buoyancy);
Forced or natural draft ventilation patterns, wind speed and wind direction.

Based on the above parameters the Fire & Gas detectors, as applicable, shall be
provided as part of EPC for Rumaitha/Shanayel Phase-III Project.

Fire and Gas mapping study shall be performed during the EPC stage in order to
verify the provided number of detectors during FEED stage is adequate.

6.2 EXISTING FGS DETAILS

The implemented FGS is utilizing redundant Honeywell Fail-Safe Controllers (FSCs).

At the CPP a dedicated FSCs are installed for FGS functionality, with redundant
safety bus links to the IPS system FSCs, and redundant linkage to the Experion
system.

At the Cluster locations the FSCs carry out ESD, F&G and control functionality. In
case of reduced I/O, ESD, F&G and control functionality have been implemented in a
single redundant FSC system, however at larger clusters separate FSC systems are
installed to perform control and safety functions independently.

An alarm assessment study shall be done by the COMPANY / EPC


CONTRACTOR during detailed engineering and the same will be supplied to
VENDOR during the system engineering stage.

The work shop shall be conducted in accordance with DEP 32.80.10.14.

The Alarm assessment shall be a qualitative assessment of the Fire and Gas
coverage in the process facilities and define the alarm priority for the Fire
and Gas alarms and rationalization of all alarms.

Alarm management study exercise is intended to guide system engineering


team to a safe, cost effective and consistent design and implementation of
alarms in DCS and FGS.

7.9.2 Alarm Detection & Registering

The FGS shall generally acquire data from field F & G devices, check with
the respective alarm setting and generates the ‘Normal/Alarm’ conditions. It
shall also acquire digital data like MAC signals from field etc.

For each executive action, a first-up alarm detection shall be implemented.


Two bits will be used to transfer the alarm status of each input to the DCS:
One bit shall be set to 0 when the input meets the alarm condition (trip).
One bit shall be set to 1 when the alarm is the initiator of the FGS (first-
up alarm).

When an alarm is detected as the first-up alarm within a subsystem, the bit
indicating its first-up state shall be set to 1 and the logic shall block the first-
up bit of any other alarm initiating the same executive actions.

For each alarm initiating the shutdown of several subsystems, there shall be
only one first-up alarm and consequently the logic shall lock the first-up bit of
all other alarms in the subsystems for which the shutdown has been initiated.

All the inputs shall be time stamped on the trip value for both analog and
digital signals. The time stamping shall be based on actual input acquisition
time and shall be independent of the controller scan time.

The time stamping shall not be affected by the input filtering-constant


provided in the point configuration. The time stamping shall not be affected,
also by the burst of alarm conditions or such case.

Time stamping shall discriminate between alarms, with resolution of less


than 10 milliseconds under burst condition of 100 alarms in 1 second. The
SOE time stamping shall be 3 milliseconds.
