INTRODUCTION
The North Field is the world’s largest natural gas field and accounts for nearly all the State of Qatar’s gas production. The principal objective of the NFPS projects is to sustain plateau from existing QatarEnergy LNG Operation – S1, S2, S3, N1 and N2 , production areas by implementing an integrated and optimum investment program consisting of subsurface development, pressure drop reduction steps and compression.
NFPS projects comprise 3 main investment programs:
- Investment #1: Drilling and Associated Facilities [WHP12S/ WHP13S/ WHP14S/
WHP12N/ WHP13N]
- Investment #2: Trunk line Looping and Intra-field pipeline looping [32” PL1LN, 32”
PL1LS, 38”PL610LS]
- Investment #3: Compression Complexes and associated facilities [Phase 1 CP6S & CP7S; Phase 2: CP8S & CP4N; Phase 3: CP4S & CP6N Phase 4: CP1S & CP1N]
Drilling and Looping, Investments #1 and #2, projects are in execution phase and are being executed as I1P1, EPCOL Projects except for WHP13N, which will be part of NFPS Compression Projects execution which compromises total up to 9 COMPs.

4 PURPOSE
The purpose of this specification is to define the requirements for design, fabrication, assembly, inspection and preparation for shipment of skid mounted equipment assemblies supplied by VENDOR for installation on decks or in modules for the North Field Production Sustainability (NFPS) Compression 3 Project.
The principal objectives of this specification are to establish structural design criteria which permit:
-
Obtaining Vendor definition of essential dimensions, weight & CoG criteria to enable detail design of structural support steel for the vendor supplied item. Refer to Section 2 ‘Definitions and Acronyms’ and Appendix A, for clarity on the specific information being requested from the vendor, which is categorized as Priority P1, P2, P3 or P4 during the various stages of the bid and detailed design phases of the vendor skid mounted assembly or equipment.
-
The design of a reliable and robust skid structure to withstand the functional, environmental and
potential accidental loads imposed during its pre-service and design in-service life.
-
The safe installation of the equipment along with the structural supporting system.
-
The design of a skid structure that requires minimal maintenance and inspection.
This document establishes:
-
The definition of the optimum equipment support configuration.
-
The provision of design data/information required for the design of the skid structure.
-
A description of the required analysis scenarios.
This specification shall be read in conjunction with respective equipment/package specifications and datasheets.

All welding shall be performed with procedures and operators which have been qualified in accordance with Sections 2 and 5 of AWS D1.1/D1.1M Ref. [61]. The Vendor shall maintain and supply all welder certification documentation.
8.2.2 Procedure Approval
All welding procedures shall be submitted to the CONTRACTOR prior to commencement of fabrication.
8.2.3 Distortion
Sequence welding shall be used to minimize distortion. Attention shall be given to weld starts and stops to insure smooth transitions and complete fusion.
8.2.4 Stiffener Plates
Stiffener plate edges and bevels shall be ground smooth prior to installation. Stiffener plate to flange and web connections shall be continuous fillet welds each side unless full penetration welds are required by design.
8.2.5 Seal Welds
All connections cover plates and attachments shall be completely seal welded with a minimum 3 mm (1/8-inch) continuous fillet.
8.2.6 Temporary Welds
Temporary welds (for temporary handling attachments, lugs, etc.) shall be minimized. When temporary welding is deemed necessary, the welding shall be performed with the same care , materials, electrodes, minimum preheat, and procedures as permanent weld installations. Temporary welds shall subsequently be removed with oxyacetylene torch by severing the attachment above the surface of the structural member and grinding the remainder of the weld deposit flush with the member. Temporary welding shall not be removed by air-arc gouging.
8.3 Bolted Connection

8.4 Corners and Edges
Sharp corners and edges of beams and supports shall be rounded and ground smooth to eliminate hazards to personnel and to facilitate skidding over deck plates, where appropriate.

8.5 Corrosion Areas
During fabrication, care shall be taken to avoid areas where it is difficult or impossible to apply corrosion protection. If necessary, inaccessible areas shall be boxed in and seal welded with a minimum 5 mm (3/16-inch) fillet weld. Where applicable, horizontal webs, except for channels which are toed down, shall have weep holes to prevent trapping of liquids.
8.6 Tolerances
The following tolerances shall apply to fabrication of equipment skids.
8.6.1 Overall Dimension
The overall length and width of the package shall not vary more than 6 mm (1/4-inch) from design values. A diagonal measurement across the corners shall not vary more than 10 mm (3/8-inch) from design dimensions.
8.6.2 Plate and Grating Elevations
The difference in elevations at the seams of deck plate or grating shall not exceed 2 mm (1/16-inch). Plate and grating shall be flat and without visible warping
