1. INTRODUCTION
Gazprom Neft Middle East B.V (COMPANY) is currently engaged in the development of
the Garmian block, located in the Kurdistan Autonomous Region Republic of Iraq. The
previous operator of the Garmian field was “Western Zagros”. The COMPANY
(GAZPROM Neft Middle East B.V.) intends to upgrade the existing oil treatment facilities
at the Sarqala-1 processing facilities due to the future increased production.
The Sarqala-1 Facilities Upgrade Project is being undertaken by Gazprom Neft Middle
East B.V. to enable Additional oil and water handling capacity of its Sarqala-1 Oil Facility.
This is in view of the planned Production increase from its Garmian block. Based on the
field development plan, peak Production target is estimated at 35,000 bopd whereas
current capacity of the Sarqala-1 Oil Facility is 10,000 bopd with a storage capacity of
42,600 bbl. Thus this project (which represents Phase 2a Facilities scope of the field
development) will create an additional 25,000 bopd oil handling capacity (Including
upgrade of relevant utilities) at Sarqala-1 with an additional 24,000 bbl of onsite oil
Storage.
The Garmian Block which comprises the Sarqala and Hasira fields is located in the south
eastern part of Kurdistan, Northern Iraq.
In pursuit of this objective, COMPANY has appointed Fortune Engineering and Energy
Services to carry out the Engineering Services for Detail Design of CPF Upgrade of
Sarqala-1 Field in the Garmian Block located in the South Eastern part of Kurdistan,
Northern Iraq.

charge.
9.3. Testing
Unless additional inspection is specified in the material requisition, inspection and test shall be
as a minimum, in accordance with ISO 5208 or API 598.
Prior to pressure testing, all internal valve components shall be cleaned. External surfaces
shall be unpainted and free of scale, weld spatter and other foreign matter.
Valves shall be operated (open/close) several times before to pass the required closure tests.
New gaskets shall be installed in valve body parts that were opened for any reason during the
course of testing. Ring joint gaskets may be reused, if undamaged, only where joint did not
leak during testing.
Any valve gland packing or stem seal that leaked during testing shall be replaced with new
material following thorough drying of the gland and packing cavity. Shell and seat hydrostatic
testing shall then be repeated for these valves.
The test fluid used for hydrostatic testing shall be an emulsion of water with a water soluble oil
to prevent rust. The chloride content of the test fluid shall not exceed 50 ppm weight. The
chloride content shall not exceed 30 ppm for stainless steel valve or valves fitted with SS trim
but shall not exceed 5 ppm when component to be tested is a stainless steel valve for which
drying operation cannot by properly secured.

Rev: Page:
1 25 of 29
No mechanical operation shall be carried out after test execution, unless to re-test the valves.
Following testing, all components, especially valve body cavities, are to be thoroughly dried
