1. INTRODUCTION
1.1. Introduction
North Oil Company (NOC) (referred as COMPANY in this document) is a crude oil and natural gas company based in
Qatar. The formation of the COMPANY was announced in June 2016 by Qatar Petroleum as a Joint Venture with Total
S.A. to develop and operate the Al-Shaheen Oil Field for 25 years. Operations along with production, sale and export of
crude oil have started since July 2017.
The Al Shaheen field is Qatar’s largest oil field. It is a conventional oil field (60m WD) situated offshore in Qatar
approximately 70km NNE of Ras Laffan. The field overlays the giant pre-Khuff gas field known as North Field.
In order to sustain current production plateau rate of 300,000 BPD and further increase in field production capacity,
COMPANY has initiated Gallaf project to install eight new WHPs, in three batches as detailed below:
➢ Batch - 1: New bridge-linked Wellhead platform (24 Slots) including jackets (DC / FC / EG), shall be installed and
the new WHP’s shall be integrated with their respective existing host platforms (DA / FA / ED) facilities.
➢ Batch - 2: New bridge-linked Wellhead platform (24 Slots) including jackets (CE / EH) shall be installed and the
new WHP’s shall be integrated with their respective host platforms (CD / EG) facilities.
➢ Batch - 3: New WHP’s including jackets (G-East / G-West / X-EI) shall be remote connected to their respective
existing host platform facilities.
A schematic showing the locations for the three batches is presented below:
Figure 1-1 Al Shaheen Field – Existing and Planned Development
After successful completion of Pre-FEED Studies for Batch 2, carried out by 'Genesis' Oil and Gas Consultants
Limited, COMPANY has appointed RCE and their subcontractor, Doris Engineering (DE), for carrying out FEED Studies
for the new WHP’s including jackets and detail design for the brownfield (Batch 2). The FEED study includes a Greenfield
Page 5 of 46
scope for the design of new facilities and detail design for brownfield scope, tie-ins and associated modifications on the
existing host platforms.
Incremental well potential shall be used to fill ullage within the existing process capacity. Maximum use shall be made of
utility / service infrastructure from host facilities, including; power supply, lift gas supply, instrument air, breathing air,
fire water, service water, flare & vent, diesel, LP fuel gas, control command etc.
The main objective of the FEED WORK is to complete the design of the facilities to a point where the EPIC CONTRACTOR
can start detailed design without further definition of the systems being required.
This document covers the electrical requirements for FEED of new WHP’s and detail design engineering of Host platforms
of Phase 2, Batch-2 development activities only.
1.2. Purpose

7. ELECTRICAL DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM

The following principles shall be applied regarding the basic requirements and configuration of the distribution systems
for this project and other associated electrical systems such as HVAC, UPS, Lighting and Small Power System. The power
tie-in to the new platforms is from host platforms in CD and ED (3kV Tie-in) & EG (400V Tie-in) locations.
7.1. General Principles
All distribution systems shall be designed to fulfil the following requirements:
• To ensure maximum continuity of supply to users as far as possible
• To provide reliable power sources for essential and emergency loads
• To allow ease of operation and maintenance of the system while operating in a safe manner without unduly
affecting the production of the plant
• To allow remote operation from the technical room through SCADA or ICSS system
• To design a system for which the necessary elements e.g. switchgear assemblies, cables, etc. are currently
manufactured, and tested. Industrial type equipment with a minimum of two years field proven experience is
required
• Selection of equipment shall be based on OPEX and CAPEX considerations.
• Selection of philosophy and design shall be based on existing Al Shaheen platform as far as possible. In case
of any conflict with requirements in NOC standards, the same shall be assessed on a case to case basis and
shall be implemented after COMPANY’s concurrence and approval. Any change from NOC standard shall be
notified to COMPANY and derogation shall be raised to get COMPANY approval.
• Phase rotation sequence of power supply in the new platform should be maintained the same as in the
existing host platform.
7.2. Equipment Rating / Sizing
A Load List and Load Balance shall be developed for each new platform.
All relevant operational cases that may impact on equipment sizing will be considered. The Load List will calculate the
Maximum Normal Operating load and the Total design load (or Peak Load) for each switchboard.
Max. Normal Operating Load = Continuous load + intermittent loads * (effect of diversity factor or largest
intermittent load, whichever is greater)
Peak Load or Total Design Load = Continuous load + intermittent loads * (effect of diversity factor) + Largest
standby motor / load
HV/LV Transformer sizing shall be done taking into consideration all extensions known at design phase. Transformer
rating shall take into consideration the starting of the largest motor.
Rating of the switchboard and transformer shall be based on Total Design Load + 20% margin such that the power
system should be capable of delivering 120% of the peak load without exceeding the specified voltage limits, frequency
limits and equipment ratings. Major equipment (transformers, 400V switchboards, UPS) of the power distribution are
designed to include 20% spare capacity above the peak load. For tie-ins to existing switchgear, the spare and the
unused design capacity in the existing system shall be utilised.
Sizes of equipment used in various locations shall be standardized globally as much as possible. All equipment of similar
type and incorporating similar or identical components and of similar and identical constructions shall be of the same
manufacturer.
All equipment and material to be selected for the Platforms shall be new, commercially well known, proved for use in
plant application and designed and manufactured according to the most up-to-date technology.
The voltage rating for all electrical equipment shall be in accordance with Section 5.3.
All components (e.g. bus bars, circuit breakers, contactors, switches, etc.) shall be rated to handle maximum fault
current of the equipment in which they are installed.
Page 22 of 46
The short circuit rating of LV switchboards shall be determined with all the LV consumers in service.
The equipment rating shall take into account voltage and frequency variation stated in Section 5.4.
7.3. Hazardous Area Equipment
All electrical outdoor equipment in offshore wellhead platforms shall be considered as being in a hazardous area.
Equipment shall be selected based on requirements in SD-NOC-ELE-079 “Electrical apparatus for potentially explosive
gas atmospheres”. As a minimum all outdoor electrical equipment shall be specified to be suitable for a Zone 2, gas
group IIA, temperature class T3 area, ATEX category II 3 G.
All indoor electrical equipment shall be in non-hazardous areas except for cases required by the project safety
documents.
For electrical equipment defined as Zone 2, ATEX category, II 3 G, “self-certification” by the MANUFACTURER shall not
be accepted. Only an EC declaration of conformity delivered by MANUFACTURER / VENDOR accompanied by an EC
Examination type certificate delivered by a Notify Body (listed in the SD-NOC-ELE-079) shall be accepted by COMPANY.
Therefore, all outdoor electrical equipment shall be specified either II 3 G or II 2 G in accordance with ATEX directives
and the chapters 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and Appendix 1 of the SD-NOC-ELE-079.
No electrical equipment shall be installed in zone 0.

the existing systems.
Page 29 of 46
As the CE and EH platforms are at the extremities of the locations, the following equipment shall be installed as a
minimum:
• 1 off Main Marine light - white light of which the intensity shall be 12000 candelas, giving a range of 15
nautical miles synchronised with the existing C or E location Navigational aids system.
• 1 off Secondary Marine light - white light of which the intensity shall not be less than 1200 candelas giving a
range of 10 nautical miles synchronised with the existing C or E location Navigational aids system.
• Aviation obstruction lights as required powered from 230V AC UPS.
The following equipment shall be installed on the CD-CE & EG-EH bridges:
• 1 off Subsidiary Marine Light - red light of which the intensity shall be not less than 15 candelas giving a
range of 3 nautical miles synchronised with the existing C or E location Navigational aids system.
Both C and E locations already have 2 off foghorns, wave off lights and windsocks for the helideck(s) and no additional
units are envisaged being required for the new platforms (Hold 6 will be confirmed after site survey).
For the C location the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) has confirmed that it is not possible to supply the new
navigational aids lights from the existing CA platform control panel ASCAA-CPJ-1501. This was confirmed in the Pre-
FEEED Site Survey Report. Therefore, a small new navigational aids control panel will be installed within the CE
electrical room to supply the main / secondary light on CE and the subsidiary light on the CD-CE bridge. These lights
have to be synchronized with the existing C location lights so control connections will be made between the new CE
control panel ASCEA-CPJ-1501 and the existing CA panel ASCAA-CPJ-1501.
The new Nav aid system on CE platform shall be supplied from the 400V AC network fed through a 24V DC system and

• 3-phase symmetrical fault
• Single-phase to earth fault
• Phase to phase fault
• Phase to phase to earth fault
Minimum short circuit Current shall be computed for input to protective device coordination studies.
The calculations shall also be performed with the aim to check that the increased short circuit levels do not affect
existing electrical installations. The design shall not give adverse effect to the present equipment, by increasing the
short-circuit levels above the equipment design data.
11.2.3. Motor Starting Study
Motor starting studies shall be carried out for the largest DOL motors in the network at each voltage level and in
different operating loads.
The analysis shall prove that the system will re-stabilize following the specified disturbances, and that the transient
voltage and frequency variations, motor slip, re-acceleration and start up times are within acceptable limits. Motor
starting studies shall recommend requirement of soft starting if voltage drop at any bus is exceeding the permissible
limits.
11.2.4. Harmonic Studies (Hold 5)
Harmonic studies shall be carried out to determine the Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) of the system during normal
operating conditions. The study shall be carried out using EDSA software. The study shall model electrical equipment
that generate harmonics (non-linear loads such as soft starter, UPS, Thyristors, IGBT’s etc) and confirm that the THD at
each bus and voltage level is maintained within 5% as per recommendations of IEEE 519.
Frequency sweep up to 50th harmonic will be performed for detection of resonance points.
11.3. Hazardous Area Verification Dossier
This dossier shall be prepared as per IEC 60079-14 at the EPC stage.
An exhaustive register of installed explosion protected Ex equipment shall be prepared by the EPC Contractor. The list
shall be made available prior to commencement of pre-commissioning activities and shall provide following information
as a minimum:
• Equipment / component tag
• Equipment Description
• Location
• Manufacturer
Page 45 of 46
• Model
• Serial Number
• Hazardous area classification of the location
• Ex Protection Concept eg Exd
• Gas Group
• Temperature Class
• ATEX Category eg II 2 G
• IP rating
• Certifying Authority
• EC Examination Certificate Number
All Ex equipment shall be tagged with a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tag at the field termination cable end.
The reference for this RFID tag shall be included in the Ex equipment register.
11.4. Electrical Equipment Obsolescence Dossier
Preparation of the Obsolescence dossier shall be done during EPC stage.
