1 INTRODUCTION:

1.1 General Project Information

ADNOC operates crude production facilities situated in various locations, including ASAB, SAHIL, SHAH,
QUSAHWAIRA, MENDER, BAB, BUHASA, and NEB (Al Nouf /Ra). The crude oil extracted from these stations is
directed to MP-21, and from there, it is transported to the export terminals located at JEBEL DHANNA and
Fujairah. Arrangements are in place to deliver crude oil to the refineries at Umm Al Nar (ABU DHABI) and
RUWAIS.

To maintain reservoir pressure, a strategy involving the injection of aquifer water and re-injection of produced
water is being employed. Project Wave embodies ADNOC's efforts to ensure an additional source of water for
injection in ADNOC fields. The project's objective is to use treated brine as an alternative water source for all
ADNOC fields, including BAB, BU HASA, NEB, and South-East. Due to its extensive scope, the project has been
divided into several components, each catering to a specific design area.

The responsibilities encompassing engineering design, procurement, inspection, testing, installation, pre-
commissioning, commissioning, performance testing, and handover will be carried out by the Project Company
and its EPC Contractor. Subsequently, the operation and maintenance of these components will be taken over
by ADNOC. The EPC Contract for Component 3A has been awarded to the Petro jet.

2 PROJECT SCOPE AND OBJECTIVES:

2.1 Project Objective.

Project Wave is one of ADNOC ++ initiatives. Potential benefits of utilizing brine water as source of water for
injection demand includes:

Sustainable source for water injection.

Contain aquifer depletion and adverse impacts of pressure decline in aquifer reservoirs.

Improve Infectivity in marginal, low permeability reservoirs.

Conceptually reduce simulation cost of injectors due to lower TSS

Reduce future CAPEX & OPEX by reducing the number of Water injection clusters, ESPs, pulling hoist,
manpower, power consumption, etc.

Potentially improve reservoir ultimate recovery through reducing Oil/Rock interfacial tensions and adhesive
forces.

2.2 Project Scope.

Considering the wide scope, the project has been broken down into components, each component caters for
a specific design area. Refer to figure below for project’s components:

2.2.1 Project’s design components are described as the following:

a) Component-1 (by others): caters for the seawater treatment plant. This component involves seawater
intake, outfall, pre-filtration, SRP filters and deaeration. The battery limit of this component terminates
at the sea water treatment plant’s outlet. This component is in third party scope.

b) Component-2 (by others): caters for the supply pipeline network scheme with respect to number of
pipelines, intermediate pumping as well as pipeline’s metallurgy. The battery limit of this component
starts from the outlet of the sea water treatment plant and terminates at the inlet of the receiving fields.
This component is in third party scope.

c) Component-3A (This project): caters for the treated seawater injection pumps and high pressure and
low-pressure injection pipeline headers. The battery limit of this component starts from the tie-in TP-01
into the 56” pipeline supplying the Injection Pumps and includes the main headers (with valved
connections for sub-headers), chemical injection skids, pig traps, evaporation ponds and associated
civil/structural and E&I works.

d) Component-3B (by others): caters for the in-field distribution network to pump treated water to injectors.
The battery limit of this component starts from the isolation valves on the main headers and includes
the sub-headers (along with associated pig traps, evaporation ponds as applicable), flowlines, injector
wells tie-in, as applicable. De-congesting the existing water injection clusters and associated facilities
(by demolition) is also part of the scope, where applicable.

e) Component- 3A includes engineering design, procurement, inspecting, testing, installation, pre-


commissioning, commissioning, performance tests to be carried out by the PROJECT COMPANY and EPC
CONTRACTOR and handed over to PROCURER / COMPANY.

2.2.2 Following is the major scope of works for Component- 3A

To provide treated seawater for the injection to BAB and BU HASA fields.

Building and commissioning new seawater injection pump stations (including pumps and chemical injection
skids) and injection network.

Building pipeline headers with sub-headers up to blinded isolation valves which will be used to extend branch
sub-headers and flowlines to distribute seawater to injector wells.

from both the groups (i.e. group-a to group-b)?

Question 2: Is it mandatory to use welding procedure for higher


strength material groups only?

1104 21 5.4.2.2 1104-I-1124-19 Background: In API 1104 5.4.2.2 it states that “the procedure for the No. The Grade B and X42 are outside of the Group B
higher strength group shall be used”. materials.
Question: In order to simplify, minimize the number of weld NOTE This topic is being reviewed currently by the
procedures (and make compliance easier) is it possible to use a committee and may result in different requirements in a
single higher strength weld procedure on all lower material groups future edition.
(for example: X46 to X60 weld procedure used on X42 to Grade B)?

b) presents a range of pipe wall thickness that require WPS
requalification.
Category I is for standard WPS.
Category II is for WPS hardness and impact test:
– pipe: API 5L x60 8 in. x 12.7 mm;
– impact test required.

Question: In Category II, what is the range of thickness required after


qualification?

1104 22 5.4.2.2 9928 Background: We created a WPS and PQR using pipe-to-pipe (X65). Response 1: Yes; please see Table 1, Footnotes b & c.

Question 1: Is this PQR of pipe-to-pipe X65 material qualify Response 2: No, provided the “nominal” SMYS is not
production welding of pipe (X65) to fittings (ASTM A860 WPHY 65 or greater than X65 and all other essential variables
ASTM A694 Gr F65)? remain the same. Also please see Table 1, Footnotes b
& c.
Question 2: Is it required to make a new PQR for a pipe to each type
of fitting such as (pipe to hot bend, pipe to a bared tee, pipe to a tee,
pipe to elbow, and pipe to flange)?

2022 , P30280A-PTJ-TQ-GN-0012 and Approved PQR matrix
TQ DESCRIPTION /PROPOSAL /UNDERSTANDING:
Re-evaluation of Technical Provisions of Exemption for PWHT of Girth Field Welds for all below
specifications and Standards

1- ASME 31P-2017 Standard Heat Treatments for Fabrication Processes Table 6.1.1-3 Exemptions to
Mandatory Post weld Heat Treatment:
It is clear in this table if need to waive and exempt PWHT for carbon steel P No 1 and Group nos 1-3 for all
thicknesses and all type of welds it must Preheat of 200°F (95°C) is applied prior to welding on any nominal
material thickness >1 in. (25 mm) (attachment No 1)

2- EEMUA Publication 235 edition 1 – 2019 Guidance on PWHT for P1 C Mn Steels Clause 1 Background
It is mentioned in this guidance that “The 2014 edition of ASME B31.3, and later editions, waived this requirement
subject to two constraints: multiple layer welding for steel thickness > 5mm, and a minimum preheat of 95°C
(200°F) prior to welding steel thickness > 25mm (1 in).

That is mean if welded joint above 25mm thickness preheated above 95°C prior to welding it is no need for stress
relieve (PWHT) (attachment No 2).

3- ASME B31.3-2022 Process Piping Table 331.1.3 Exemptions to Mandatory Post weld Heat Treatment.
Also, it clear like as per mentioned at ASME 31P if need to waive and exempt PWHT for carbon steel P No 1 and
Group no’s 1-3 for all thicknesses and all type of welds it must Preheat of 200°F (95°C) is applied prior to welding
on any nominal material thickness >1 in. (25 mm) (attachment No 3)

4- ASME B31.4-2022 Pipeline Transportation Systems for Liquid and Slurries Clause 434.8.9a

relieving is not necessary. Welds in carbon steels having an effective weld throat larger than 11∕4 in. (32 mm) and
not larger than 11∕2 in. (38 mm) may be exempted from stress relieving if a minimum preheating temperature of
200°F (93°C) is used. The welding procedure specification shall specify when stress relieving and/or heat
treatment is required due to composition, thickness, welding process, restraint of the weld joint, or service
conditions. When required, the welding procedure qualification test shall include stress relieving and/or heat
treatment of the completed test joint. The post weld stress-relieving and heat treatment requirements in ASME
B31.3 or ASME BPVC, Section VIII, Division 1 or Division 2 may be used as a guide for minimum stress-relieving
and heat-treating requirements.

UNDERSTANDING OF THE CODE:

• In general, any weld above 32 mm shall be stress relived, unless it can be demonstrated by welding procedure

qualification tests, using materials of the same specification, type, and grade with an effective weld throat that is

equal to or greater than the production weld, that stress relieving is not necessary

• For CS larger than 32 and not larger than 38 may be exempted from stress relieving if a minimum preheating

temperature of 200°F (93C) (without demonstrating by welding procedure qualification tests)

• For CS any weld above 38 mm shall be stress relived), unless it can be demonstrated by welding procedure

qualification tests, using materials of the same specification, type, and grade with an effective weld

throat that is equal to or greater than the production weld, that stress relieving is not necessary

• EPC Contractor seek for approval of the proposed WPS for CS pipeline above 38 mm without PWHT and EPC

contractor to demonstrated by welding during PQR.

BACKGROUND /JUSTIFICATION:

• Line Pipes do not have heat treatment it will be TMCP as per Approved TQ No: P30280A-PTJ-TQ-GN- 0012
so EPC contractor propose make field joints without PWHT and make all required recommended precautions.

• EPC Contractor will make preheat with induction heating coil with homogeneity around the pipe circumference
and measure preheat temperature far from the bevel by 75mm by infrared device according to ADNOC
Requirement and minimum preheat temperature not less than 95°C

• EPC Contractor will make demonstration of WPS and PQR to achieve the requirement of data sheet and design
requirement.

• EPC Contractor has previous experience for make WPS & PQR with high thickness without PWHT at previous
project with Pipeline with ENI for DNV code of offshore pipeline with sour service (Copy attached No.2)

• EPC Contractor has approved TQ No: P30280A-PTJ-TQ-GN- 0012 for waiving PWHT to high thickness for
seam weld of pipes so contractor require to consider this approved TQ as a reference for field girth weld joints
