TGSL Talon Global Services Limited

MPN Mobil Producing Nigeria Limited

9.0 PROCEDURE
In carrying out flushing of the 24 Existing PWD Marine Hoses, the contractor
(TGSL) will use water from the 6 Hydrate line. MPN permit to work program shall
be used to control all work associated with the site activities. An onshore survey by
the responsible Operations group shall be conducted as a pre-requisite isolation and
flushing activity as stated below

Identification, tagging, and documentation of all isolation points

Identification, tagging, and documentation of valves to be opened / closed
Identification, tagging, and repair of problem valves
Passing valves
Leaking valves
Inoperable (frozen)
Identification, tagging, and documentation of blinding points
Identification and documentation of systems that can be double-blocked and
bled
Identification and documentation of points for introduction of flushing
medium.

This shall be the basis of the flushing procedure and documentation. For the
purpose of this work the following activities needs to be carried out after the line is
shutdown, cooled and pumped out, all items of equipment depressurized, drained
and vented.

9.1 SHUTDOWN
The entire responsibility of shutting down live facilities is the clients. However,
Talon Global Services Limited shall be given the go ahead to isolate the line; by
spading them out at the inlet manifold.
Where the project activity affects only in part a section of the Manifold, which
will not necessitate flushing the whole Facilities, the affected part shall be
isolated from the other process units by spading out or flanged-off; using blind
flange.

Depressurization

The hydrocarbon gas will be disposed to fuel gas or flare.

As the systems become depressurized, they will then be isolated by valves
and spading. Depressurize ball valves through provided valve body drains.

Draining

Prior to equipment being isolated, it is essential that it should be drained as

far as possible via existing and fitted drain points to sump tank/ dummy tank
Adequate size drain lines will be installed at lowest points and sized in
accordance with companys engineering practices.

Venting

Where flammable or other harmful materials are to be vented, the points for
release must be located in order to preclude any possibility of vapors
encroaching upon areas where personnel are working or where there is
likelihood of ignition. Equipment shall be vented to a safe area using the
provided equipment vent

9.2 ISOLATION OF LINES

Prior to hydrocarbon freeing, the involved equipment and piping will be isolated. In
isolating the lines for hydrocarbon freeing in preparation for necessary site works
the under-listed activities will be carried out:

Isolate the system using the actual block valves

Isolate / disconnect the hydraulic supply to the involved shutdown valves
Isolate / disconnect the air supply to the involved shutdown valves
Lock the manual isolation valves using chain and padlock, car seal, or similar
product. Following Lockout /Tag-out standards, procedures, and practices.
Install blinds / spades
Details of isolation will be carried out as stated in the marked up P&ID
which will be done with the company operation assistance.
All safety equipment such as fire extinguisher and gas detector meter shall
be made available.

24 Blind flange inspected at the outfall sump pump area shall be deflanged to
hook up the fabricated 24flange#150 X 4Weco and also at the south end screamer
(effluent area) existing 24 blind will be deflanged and 24flange#150 X 4Weco
shall be hooked up and flexible hose connected and channeled into the south end
pit.

Three times line volume shall be pumped to ensure 0ppm or follow Client directive.
All equipment and monitoring device will be subjected to a function test before
commencement of pumping operation.

All connections, hook-ups, and surface lines shall be re-checked, water transfer
operation into the holding tank shall commence. All valves and mainline 24
isolation valves shall be lined up and the flooding pump shall start the flooding
process slowly at lower bpm, for 3-5min while observing all rigs up for leaks.
Should any leaks or any other abnormalities is seen or observed, the flooding pumps
shall be shut down and the necessary corrections shall be effected.

9.4 Flushing Activity:

Before flushing, the affected lines shall be bled off to depressurize them. This is
done by gradually unbolting the flanges. Crude oil issuing out on depressurization
shall be carefully guided into the process drain line to enhance environmental
pollution control.

All outlet valves to drain lines shall be maintained in open position throughout
the flushing period.

9.5 FLUSHING WITH WATER

This flushing of the 24 Existing PWD Marine Hoses will be carried out as marked up
on the P&ID. Details of the isolation points/ spading points will be as agreed upon.
In isolating the PWD Marine Hoses, Company operation personnel will assist in site
identification and tagging isolation points as marked up on the P&ID. The objectives
of the flushing plan include:

To eliminate spillage of Hydrocarbon

To minimize shutdown periods during the works.
To ensure safe and efficient flushing of the lines, PWD Marine Hoses
To eliminate any possibilities of surge of crude due to backpressure on
the lines.
To facilitate hot work activities during the shutdown period thereby
ensuring safe work environment.
To foresee and eliminate the possibility of any bottleneck as a result
of important isolation or flushing during work.

Flushing activities shall be carried out in a manner that will ensure that the tie-ins
for the new line is accomplished within the same shutdown window. The flushing
pressure shall be determined on site and will be dependent on the existing pressure
and flow conditions on site and on the approval of the authorized personnel.
However, flushing pressure shall be sufficient to overcome any existing residual
pressure on the line and there shall be test points on the South End Skimmer to
monitor the extent of the flushing.

All flushing activities shall commence prior/ during pre-shutdown, shutdown and
post shutdown works.. In carrying out the flushing operation the following will be
applied:

Overfilling medium will be directed to vent or drain systems.

High-point vents will be used to remove pockets of trapped hydrocarbon
vapors.
Draining will commence when the equipment or piping system is overfilled
Contractor will ensure that there is sufficient equipment/piping high point
venting to avoid under-pressure conditions (potential vacuum).
When overfilling activities have reduced the hydrocarbon content to
allowable levels samples will be collected and checked for hydrocarbon
sediments.

Required activity prior to commencement of work is as stated below:

Participate in site induction by client if any

Carry out site safety briefing of personnel and prepare job safety analysis
Obtain work permit from Company which must have Job Safety analysis
attached
Check the condition of equipments, hoses, valves and instruments and
ensure non damage of them due to transportation
Position and connect equipments in line with equipment layout plan
Check equipments for proper functionality
Cross check water source
Discuss permit requirements with work crew
Inspect work site facilities with client representatives
Identification and mark pipeline shut off valves; sample test point; vent
valves; water injection points
Demarcate or delineate work area with safety tape to restrict entry of
unauthorized personnel within the area
Post safety signs such as FLUSHING OPERATION IN PROGRESS, KEEP-OFF
Carry out hotbolting/ spading of isolation points on the platform
Check good functionality of communication radio with the crew
Obtain authorization to commence work
Set-up flushing equipment and make necessary connections to the platform
