1.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION


The primary objective of the project is to sustain gas supplies to NLNG trains 1 to 6. The project
was conceptualized on optimisation of SPDC’s infrastructure usage by utilising spare capacity
that will become available in Soku Gas Plant as from 2014. Non Associated Gas from Kolo Creek
Deep (F1 and F2 reservoirs) shall be bulked in a manifold and evacuated through approx. 20” x
40km bulkline to Soku Gas Plant for processing and onward sales to NLNG trains 1 to 6. The
Kolo Creek field is situated in the southern part of OML-28 in the seasonal flooding fresh-water
swamp area, some 18km southeast of the Gbaran CPF and about 90km west of Port Harcourt. It
is one of SPDC’s Eastern Division fields considered as part of the Gbaran-Ubie nodal
development to provide feed stock gas for the NLNG Trains 1 to 6.
The Kolo Creek to Soku project optimizes SPDC’s infrastructure usage in the short term and
maximizes ullage for both the Soku and Gbaran areas.
The EPC contract scope with NestOil PLC for this project is summarized as follows;
1. Four (4) flowlines from the F2 wells to the new Kolo Creek (intermediate) production
headers with the proper control, safeguarding, metering and monitoring requirements.
2. Three (3) flowlines from the F1 wells to the new Kolo Creek (intermediate) production
headers with the proper control, safeguarding, metering and monitoring requirements.
3. Three (3) intermediate production headers combining the seven (7) F1 and F2 flowlines
into three (3) intermediate bulklines.
4. Three (3) intermediate bulklines with HIPPS and the proper control, safeguarding,
metering and monitoring requirements.
5. One (1) Kolo Creek manifold combining the three (3) intermediate bulklines into the 20-
inch, 40 km long bulkline to the Soku Gas Plant.
6. 20-inch, 40 km long carbon steel pipeline (including the pig launcher and receiver and
proper control, safeguarding, metering and monitoring requirements) from Kolo Creek
NAG manifold to the Soku Gas Plant designed for evacuation of 400 MMscf/d from Kolo
Creek NAG manifold. This pipeline will traverse some communities in Niger Delta, Nigeria
though the intention of the routing was to avoid it as much as possible.
7. Slug-catcher at the Soku Gas Plant and full integration with the existing Soku Gas Plant
including definition of process control and safe guarding systems.

any additional information necessary to facilitate CONTRACTOR’S detailed design which
shall include detailed engineering design of foundations required for all equipment and
facilities on this project in the Kolo Creek sites (Manifold & Well location(s)) and Soku Gas
Plant. The extent of survey should be sufficient to cover (or allow reasonable extrapolation
over) the entire project area and should cover facilities sites and the pipelines routes.
2) To carry out detailed investigation on the buried/underground service facilities before
proposing finalised plot plans/equipment foundation layouts. All impacted service lines shall
be completely avoided in the first instance. Where complete avoidance is not feasible,
isolation or relocation shall be considered in that order.
3) Surveys shall be carried out in line with SHELL DEP 34.11.00.10-Gen.
4) To define methodology for obtaining satisfactory and consistent quality in geotechnical soil
surveys, and applies to:
o The definition and purpose of the types of geotechnical survey works as applicable to this
project.
o The equipment and procedures for the performance of the field works, including soil
boring or rock coring, trial pits, soil sampling, in-situ testing or measurements, laboratory
testing on soil samples or rock cores, etc.
o The procedures for the assessment of all results of the soil investigation tests and
measurements, to define the soil characteristics and geotechnical parameters required to
design the foundations and/or earth works as related to the laying of the pipeline, as well
as the presentation of the results, and the reporting to be provided by Contractor.
5) The SURVEY CONTRACTOR may elect, with explicit indication, to execute complete or
partial sections of the above objective in his response.
6) SURVEY CONTRACTOR shall provide everything, including design, engineering, materials
(other than that supplied by COMPANY), services, project management, procurement and
logistics, transportation, administration, for performing the Survey.
7) In meeting that objective, SURVEY CONTRACTOR shall fulfil the obligations and
implement the requirements that are described in the following sections. This document
provides summary details of the specific project requirements for the Kolo Creek - Soku
Pipeline Project. Selection to perform partial sections of the work does not preclude
considerations of all tasks associated for partial completion such as:
 the data acquisitions for bottom topography, shallow seabed soils, underwater and
seabed obstructions, existing installations or facilities
 metocean criteria like river current profile, tidal effects, depths based on lowest
astronomical tide, river floor bathymetry along laying corridor, etc for marine
surveys
 the topographic survey, soils sampling and testing at specified points on the right-of

1.3 Route Description
The Kolo Creek field is situated in the southern part of OML-28 in the seasonal flooding fresh-
water swamp area, some 18 km southeast of the Gbaran CPF and about 90 km west of Port
Harcourt. It is one of SPDC’s Eastern Division fields considered as part of the Gbaran Ubie
nodal development to provide feed stock gas for the NLNG Trains 1 to 6.
The Kolo Creek NAG manifold to Soku gas plant pipeline traverses a wide geographical area.
Although land-take and width of ROWs have been reduced with the philosophy of option for
utilising existing routes (where possible), footprints on the environment are still unavoidable.
Environmental, social and safety factors have therefore been analysed as documented in K2S-
TPEF-GEN-LA6958-00001-000 to establish route corridors with the least potential negative
impact on the natural and human ecology, and also ensure public safety during construction and
operation of the pipelines.
1.4 Work Method Statement
The Contractor shall submit to Company, prior to carrying out any survey activity, a detailed
topographical survey method statement clearly identifying all activities of the survey work to be
performed including the followings as a minimum:
i. Survey methods
ii. Contractor organisation
iii. Logistics for land and water travels
iv. List of instruments and equipment to be utilized
v. Specialised personnel to be employed.
vi. List of the computer programs and the releases that Contractor intends to utilise for
the work.

15.2 Drilling and Soil Borings


Open-hole rotary drilling shall be used to advance the soil borings and shall allow soil sampling
and in-situ testing. The drilling equipment shall be compatible with any types of soil conditions
likely to be encountered at the site, i.e. soft or stiff to hard clays, silt and more or less dense
sands, limestone and rock formations. When necessary, drill casings shall be used to support the
soil borings. Rotary diamond core drilling shall be used in cemented rock formations, and the type
of drill bit shall be adapted to the rock formations likely to be encountered at the site.
When ground water is first encountered in soil borings, the depth from ground level to point of
entry shall be recorded, together with the casing depth. Boring operations shall be suspended for
not more than 20 minutes to allow the free static water level to stabilise. If, at the end of this 20-
minute period, the water level is still rising, this shall be recorded for another 20-minute period,
after which boring operations shall continue. Ground water and drilling fluid levels shall also be
recorded at the beginning and end of every shift, and following any significant break in drilling
activities.
A boring shall be considered as completed when it has reached the target depth mentioned in this
Specification, or as directed by the COMPANY Representative, and all sampling and in-situ
testing has been performed satisfactorily. Borings abandoned before reaching the specified target
depth, because of mechanical failure of drilling equipment, or other such preventable causes, will
be rejected. Any borings so rejected shall be repeated adjacent to the original location at a
distance of at least five (5) meters. Upon completion, the borings shall be filled with materials
obtained locally.

15.3 Trial Pits and Shallow Sampling


The purpose of trial pits is twofold, i.e. to determine shallow subsurface soil conditions by visual
identification, and to take samples, generally disturbed, for index testing in the laboratory, in
particular for pipeline route engineering purposes. The tentative number and location of trial pits
shall be mentioned in this Specification. The exact location and target depth of trial pits shall be
defined according to the local site and soil conditions.
Hand-digging of the trial pits shall be considered, but this shall only be allowed with adequate
temporary support or battering. Entry by personnel into an unsupported pit deeper than 1.50m is
not allowed.

Scope of Work for Topographical, Geotechnical, Bathymetric and


Underground Facilities Survey
K2S-NG01007551-GEN-CG6968-00001 Page 34 of 44

The following general requirements apply to shallow trial pits:


1. Logging, sampling and in-situ testing shall be carried out immediately after the pit has
been dug.
2. The field record shall include a plan giving the location and orientation of the pit, with
details of which face(s) was logged, and a dimensional section of each side and the floor.
Whenever possible, the record should include photographs of the pit.
3. Soil temperature shall be measured every 0.50 m down to a depth of 1.50 m.
4. Soil resistivity, conductivity and redox potential shall be measured at a depth of 1.50 m.
5. Pits shall be backfilled as soon as possible after logging, sampling and in-situ testing
have been completed.

When ground water is first encountered in trial pits, the depth from ground level to point of entry
shall be recorded, as well as the flow and static condition in the excavation, with tidal variation (if
any).
A trial pit shall be considered as completed when it has reached the target depth, and when all
sampling and in-situ testing has been performed satisfactorily.

15.4 Deep Sampling in Soil Borings


For deep soil sampling and coring carried out inside soil borings, various types of corers can be
used, in particular:
 Thin-walled push sampler, for recovering undisturbed samples in clayey soils
 Driven split-barrel sampler, for recovering samples in sands and hard clays
 Rotary coring in more or less hardly cemented strata and rock formations.

The soil sampling and coring equipment and procedures shall be capable of sampling operations
in all soil conditions likely to be encountered, including: soft and very soft clays, stiff to hard clays,
silts, loose to very dense sands, gravel, weakly to hardly cemented limestone, rock formations,
etc.
The general procedures for deep sampling in soil borings shall comply with the following
requirements:

a. Driven split-barrel sampling and SPT testing: The equipment and procedure shall comply
with the ASTM standard practice D1586 for split-barrel sampling and SPT testing of soils,
regarding in particular the sample diameter which shall be equal to a minimum of 38 mm
(1.5 inch), the weight and free-fall height of the striking ram, and the recording of

blowcounts (N-values to travel the last 300 mm) to measure the resistance to penetration
for estimating the in-situ soil density or strength.

b. Rotary coring: The equipment and procedure for rotary coring of cemented soils and rock
formations shall comply with the ASTM standard practice D2113 for diamond core
drilling. The drill rods used with retrievable inner-tube core barrels shall be those
manufactured by the core-barrel manufacturer specifically for the core barrel. The
minimum core diameter shall be equal to 55 mm (NW/NQ size), except in weak rocks
where the minimum core diameter shall be increased to 75 or 85 mm (HQ to PQ size).

In soft to stiff cohesive soils, and loose to medium dense non-cohesive soils, thin-walled push
sampling shall be used for recovering relatively undisturbed samples. Driven split-barrel sampling
shall be used in very stiff to hard cohesive soils and in non-cohesive soils, when refusal has
occurred with thin-walled push sampling.
Typically, the soil sampling interval shall not be greater than 1 metre in the upper formations,
down to about 10 metres below the ground level. Below 10 metres of penetration, and particularly
in homogeneous or uniform soil strata, the sampling interval can be increased to 1.5 to 2 metres.
However, at every change of soil strata, and in heterogeneous soil conditions, the sampling
interval shall be equal to 1 metre or less.
In rock formations, the type of drill bit and the length of core runs shall be adapted to maximize
core recovery. In every coring, the initial core run shall be 0.5 metre in length. If the recovery
obtained is greater than 80%, the subsequent core run can then be increased in length by 0.5
metre. In all cases, the length of core runs shall be limited to a maximum of 1.5 metre. When
recovery falls below 80%, the next core run shall be reduced in length by 0.5 metre.

15.5 Static Cone Penetration Test


The static cone penetration test with pore pressure (CPTU test) is the reference in-situ test. The
cone geometry and test procedure shall comply with the international standard test procedure
ISO 22476-1.
The cone penetrometer probes shall allow for continuous measurement (that is at least one
measurement point per second, or every 20 mm of penetration at the standard rate of
penetration) of the cone tip resistance, local sleeve friction, and pore pressure (for CPTU tests).
With respect to the pore pressure measurement in CPTU tests, the location of the porous stone is
not standardised, but a position on the cone shoulder immediately behind the tip is
recommended, in accordance with ISO 22476-1. Continuous measurement of the pore pressure

shall be possible during penetration into the soil, or while penetration is interrupted for a
dissipation test.
The test cones shall be checked at regular intervals, at least twice a year, for signs of wear of the
cone tip and friction sleeve, as well as for the general electronics and sensitivity of the sensors
(with respect to accuracy and sensitivity of the measurements). Additional checks on the
sensitivity of the sensors may be required before, during, and/or after the soil investigation field
works.

15.6 Presentation of Results


During performance of in-situ tests, the survey team shall be able to check in real time the various
parameters measured, and the measurements shall be recorded simultaneously on a digital
medium.
The parameters measured in-situ shall be presented before (i.e. “gross” measurements) and after
(i.e. “net” measurements) any corrections, and the correction procedure shall be clearly defined in
the final factual report supplied by the Survey Contractor.

laboratory.
c. Rock cores: Cores shall be extruded from their linings or split inner tube using a piston-
type extruder, and extrusion shall be in the same direction as the rock core entered the
core barrel. The entire length of core shall be supported during this process. Cores shall
then be stored in suitable and robust boxes, typically of wooden construction with a
hinged lid and up to 1.5 m long. Weak rock samples shall be sealed with cool wax. The
sample boxes shall allow minimum movement of cores when full. Wooden spacers shall
be used to indicate the start and end of each core run, with the cores placed in their

recovery. The containers or boxes containing samples and rock cores shall also be
identified in the same way, both outside and inside.
f. Optimum conditions of storage and conservation of all samples and cores shall be
supplied, avoiding in particular excessive heat and temperature variation during daily site
operations.
