. SCOPE
The South Pars / North Dome field is a natural gas condensate field located in the Persian
Gulf. It is the world's largest gas field, shared between Iran and Qatar. According to the
International Energy Agency (IEA), the field holds an estimated trillion cubic feet
( trillion cubic meters) of in-situ natural gas and some billion barrels ( billion
cubic meters) of natural gas condensates. This gas field covers an area of square
kilometres, of which square kilometres (South Pars) is in Iranian territorial waters
and square kilometres (North Dome) is in Qatari territorial waters. The project
known as the South Pars Gas Field Development, facilities will produce, treat and
transport reservoir fluids from gas field to facilities at Assaluyeh port at the north of
Persian Gulf, located approximately Km from offshore field. South Pars Phase , ,
and Fibre Optic Cable Network Project will establish communications between
offshore and onshore facilities.
This document is applicable to the Diving Operations at South Pars Phase , , and
Fiber Optic Cable Network Project and details the methods by which the J-Tube
Preparation, Cable Pulling and Cable Protection will be carried out.

. DIVING METHOD STATEMENT

This Method Statement objective is to describe systems and methods which will be used at
J-Tube Preparation, Cable Pulling and Cable Protection operation.

Nitrogen Narcosis is a reversible alteration in consciousness that occurs while diving at

depth. It is caused by the anesthetic effect of certain gases at high pressure such as
Nitrogen from compressed air. In order to eliminate the effect of Nitrogen Narcosis on
Divers and increase the safety of divers in depth, Nitrogen will be replaced with another
inert gas with no narcotic affects, Helium. As per IMCA D Surface Supply Mixed Gas
Diving operation and IMCA D Code of Practice for Offshore Diving, diving operation
deeper than m shall be carried out using Heliox and Surface Supplied Mixed Gas
Method.

Mixed gas diving operations are complex, requiring constant support and close
coordination among all personnel. Due to extended decompression obligations, mixed gas
diving can be hazardous if not properly planned and executed. Seemingly minor problems
can quickly escalate into emergency situations, leaving limited time to research dive
protocols or operational orders to resolve the situation. Each member of the diving team
must be qualified and be thoroughly competent in executing applicable operating and
emergency procedures. Safety is important in any diving operation and must become an
integral part of all operations planning.

DIVING SYSTEM
The level of equipment required to conduct a surface supplied mixed gas diving operation
will vary according to the work program however there are certain key elements required.

The following represent the key elements if a safe dive is to be performed and provided by
Diving Contractor:

 A dive panel and gas distribution system that has been purpose designed for surface
supplied mixed gas diving and is clearly marked to provide for suitable diver (and
surface or in-water standby) supply and the proper switch of gases in accordance with
the contractor’s diving tables;
 Provision of sufficient and suitable back up gas supplies;
 Provision of sufficient and suitable oxygen analyzers fitted with audio/visual alarms;
 Provision of a wet bell and deployment system, properly fitted out with adequate
onboard gas supplies in the event of failure of the surface supply;

 DIVING PROCEDURE

Doc. No. : SP -L -RP-PR- Rev No: Class:

 Provision of a secondary recovery system sufficient to manage the controlled ascent of

the bell in the event of failure of the main system. The secondary recovery system will
also need to be adequate to provide for the in-water decompression stages that many
tables call for.
 Normal decompression after a surface supplied mixed gas diving operation requires the
use of a deck decompression chamber (DDC) after the diver has returned to the surface.
Such a chamber is also needed for any possible emergency or therapeutic treatments
required.

DIVING CALCULATION
Mixed gas diving operations are complex, requiring constant support and close
coordination among all personnel. Due to extended decompression obligations, mixed gas
diving can be hazardous if not properly planned and executed. Seemingly minor problems
can quickly escalate into emergency situations, leaving limited time to research dive
protocols or operational orders to resolve the situation. Each member of the diving team
must be qualified and be thoroughly competent in executing applicable operating and
emergency procedures. Safety is important in any diving operation and must become an
integral part of all operations planning.

Mixed gas diving operation will be planned and diving time and decompressions will be
calculated using latest US Navy Diving Manual – Rev . Section Volume Mixed Gas
Surface Supplied Diving Operations.
