FOREWORD
In late 1970 Section " A t undertook the development of a plant design check list based on the results of a
questionnaire distributed in early 1970. A Task Force was assigned consisting of

W. T. Lawler, Chairman, Sun Oil Company


W. A. Haliburton, Cities Service Oil Co.
D. R. Raney, Lone Star Gas Producing Co.

Later additions to the Task Force were Messrs. E. C. Cramp, Atlantic Richfield Co. and W. H. Schulz, Mobil
Oil Corp.

Task Force members developed the check list format and prepared several of the sections. Others that

//^:^^#^~^^"~~:~"~$$"~$^"#:*~:^$:*~^*@~^*:^~~":^*#^#"\\
participated in preparing individual sections were:

Peter Leathard Atlantic Richfield Co.


B.H. Williams Continental Oil Co.
M. D. Atkins Cotton Valley Operating Co.
J. E. Raley Dorchester Gas Producing CO.
A. B. Richert Dresser Engineering Co.
Joseph Shutz Exxon Co. U.S.A.
C. O. Miller Getty Oil Co.
Allen Tarbutton Mitchell Energy Corp.
W. C. Hart Phillips Petroleum Co.
O. P. Procter Phillips Petroleum Co.
W. R. Fairchild Shell Oil Co.
W. L. Hamilton Sun Oil Co.
R. E. Porcher Union Texas Petroleum
Marvin Miller Xcel Products Co.

The guidance and attention to details of Chairman Lawler, as well as the actual preparation of several sections,
is particularly appreciated.

In 1981 a major revision of this Check List was made by Section "A" Task Force composed of the following:

Hubert C. Daugherty, HNG Petrochemicals, Inc.


Charles B. Wallace, Shell Oil Co.
Melvin W. Noe, Chairman, Texas Gas Exploration Corp.
Charles Hamilton, Texas Gas Exploration Corp.

--`````-`-`,,`,,`,`,,`---
In 1996 another major revision to the Check List was made by a Section "A" Task Force Chaired by Craig
Wentworth and composed of the following people:

Charles Coarsey, Chevroflarren


Naomi Orbeck, Colorado Interstate Gas Co.
Carl Soderman, PanEnergy Field Services, Inc.
John Harryman, Shell E & P Technology
Craig Wentworth, T. H. Russell Co.
Carolyn Smith, T. H. Russell Co.
William Smith, Texaco Inc.
Cesar Espino, Trident NGL, Inc.

The thanks of the industry are extended to these persons as well as to others who contributed to various parts of
the overall project. It is only through the wholehearted interest and participation of individuals within the
industry that worthwhile projects as these can be undertaken and completed.

STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
The Check List is designed to serve as a guide for project managers and others who are charged with planning
and preparing job and equipment specifications. By referring to this list, those planning projects may be made
cognizant of most of the major items that should be considered when the project is originated and during the
progress of design and construction.

This guide is prepared using categories normally required for a processing plant project. An effort was made to
prepare the check lists in a manner to make them useful to project managers and engineers for new plants, plant
revisions, and for either company engineered or contracted projects.

The Project Planning Check List is designed to be used for preparing the job specifications and Articles of
Agreement or Contract.
--`````-`-`,,`,,`,`,,`---

The general categories for equipment and services should aid in the selection of appropriate equipment for a
particular job leaving the actual specification requirements to the discretion of each company and its
responsible engineer in charge.

It is recommended that the following statement be included in each specification category to call attention to
the fact that there are various governmental regulations and codes that are subject to change.

"All and their appurtenances shall


meet the latest applicable federal, state and local codes. The manufacturer andor plant contractor shall be
responsible for determining all such codes and complying with them."
