PROJECT OVERVIEW
1.1
EPC for HAIL & GHASHA Development Project
The Hail & Ghasha Development (HGD) Project is of strategic importance to the Emirate of Abu Dhabi. The Project will develop the untapped oil and gas reserves from the highly sour Hail and Ghasha fields. Production is targeted to start by Q4 2027 with sustainable production of 1 BSCFD of Raw Gas, and max production of 82.5 MSBPD of Oil, 76.3 MSBPD of Condensate, 9000 TPD of Sulphur and 5030 TPD of NGL. In addition, Project will capture 1.52 million tonnes of CO2 per year taking ADNOC’s committed investment for carbon capture capacity. The Hail and Ghasha fields are situated offshore ABU DHABI about 140 km away from ABU DHABI mainland in water depths varying from 0 to 15 meters.
The HGD Project comprises the following:
• Artificial Islands Construction;
• Offshore package – EPC 01: Offshore Drilling Centers (DCs), Subsea Pipelines, Umbilicals, Power Cable Connections, Seawater Intake Structure, Bridges, Risers, Flare Structure, facilities at Ghasha Offshore Processing Plant (“GOP”);
• Onshore package – EPC 02: Manayif Onshore Processing Plant (“OPP”), Manayif
Utilities, Offsite Pipelines & Tie-ins, Main Control and Other Buildings.
The HGD Project will be executed in a single phase approach. It will start production from three Drilling Centres (Reeah, Jzool & Seebah) in Ghasha Field to GOP and from Gaff Island in Hail Field to OPP. Remaining Drilling Centres, gas injection, and other associated facilities will be developed in ‘future’ to sustain production from Hail & Ghasha fields.

HSE DESIGN PHILOSOPHY
Rev
03
The purpose of this document is to set out the Design Health, Safety and Environmental (HSE) Philosophy for the EPC phase of the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) Hail and Ghasha Development Project for Package 1 - Offshore facilities (including drilling islands).
The HSE philosophy aims to define the fundamental principles that are to be adopted with respect to HSE aspects of the design and to ensure that a project is designed and constructed in compliance with UAE Federal and Local Laws & Regulations, and ADNOC Standards & HSE Regulations. This document represents the minimum requirements and shall be read and implemented in conjunction with project specifications, procedures and philosophies.
This document is intended to inform the EPC design team of key HSE requirements that need to be addressed so that the risk to people, asset and environment will be reduced to a level as low as reasonably practicable (ALARP).
Further to inform the EPC design team to control the environmental (including social) impacts of the project on wildlife, marine life habitat, air and groundwater quality based on the prevention of pollution or, where this is not possible or practical, the minimization of pollution using Best Available Technology (BAT);
Hazard Management Process described in the HSE Plan need to be followed in the design process. Safety studies and assessments that are planned to be carried out during EPC as part of this hazard management process are identified within the Project HSE Plan, document no 1-CF0000-52-PLN-5801-00.
Further to reduce the probability of an accidental event and loss of primary containment occurring. To minimize the damage caused to plant, equipment and structures, or pollution to the environment, should an accidental event occur;
• To provide guidance in the selection of equipment and design of the projects to
achieve its HSE objectives;
• To preserve and optimize the usage of natural resources on a sustainable basis;
and
•
Identify interfaces and ensure consistency in HSE design between engineering disciplines.
This HSE Philosophy covers the scope in relation to the Ghasha Offshore Processing Island (GOP), Drilling Islands and any other tie ins to other facilities with regards to EPC design. Drilling Operations in regard to the Drilling Islands are outside the scope of this HSE Philosophy and fall under the Drilling Contractors scope.
This document should be kept live and updated throughout the project to capture further detail and refinements.

HSE DESIGN PHILOSOPHY

SCOPE
The scope of this philosophy is to define the HSE principles/basis adopted during the design phase of the ADNOC Hail and Ghasha Development Project – Package 1 – Offshore Facilities.
The EPC design will utilize the latest version of the UAE Local Codes and Regulations, ADNOC HSE standards, ADNOC AGES standards, and International Codes and Standards where applicable to the design in the development of the Hail & Ghasha Design.
This HSE philosophy provides the primary HSE objectives and approach for the safety, fire protection, fire detection, escape/evacuation, environment protection and noise control. However, details HSE design requirements for the above main areas of HSE design are addressed in following dedicated philosophy documents.
• H2S Philosophy (1-CF0000-40-PHL-0003) • Fire Protection Design Basis (1-CF0000-40-BOD-0004) • EER Philosophy (1-CF0000-40-PHL-0006) • F&G Detection Philosophy (1-CF0000-40-PHL-0005) • Environmental Philosophy (1-CF0000-13-PHL-5560)
DESIGN PHILOSOPHY
As per ADNOC HSE-GA-ST07, the approach towards hazard management of the facilities design shall consider the following in the order of priority.
• Prevention/Elimination – Measures taken to eliminate or reduce hazards at
source or to reduce the likelihood of a hazard being realised.
• Control – Measures taken to keep hazards within the design envelope, be it through containment or control systems or reactions to events that could result in an incident.
• Mitigation – Measures taken to respond to a hazard once an incident has
occurred either to bring it back under control or limit its effects.
• Recovery – Measures taken to recover from an hazardous event using appropriate response and recovery measures i.e., ERP, usage of PPE’s etc.,
The design shall include the principles of Inherently Safe Design. However, should hazardous events occur, they should be promptly detected and acted upon, with the aim of reducing the risk to personnel and the environment and minimizing the damage to equipment, plant and structures. The evaluation of the required control and mitigation measures will be based mainly upon the extent of consequential effects of an accidental event and adopting a risk-based approach.
6.1
Principles of Inherent Safety
The facilities on the ADNOC Hail and Ghasha Development shall be designed such that they are, as far as reasonably practicable, inherently safe, i.e. designing of processes and products in such a way as to eliminate hazards completely or sufficiently minimize their magnitude and negate the need for elaborate safety systems incorporated in the design. This hazard elimination or reduction is achieved via means which are inherent to the process and, as such, are permanent and inseparable from it.

HSE DESIGN PHILOSOPHY
Rev
03
To achieve the above said objectives, four primary strategies in line with ADNOC HSE standard, HSE-RM-ST13 will be followed as below:
• Minimize – use smaller quantities of hazardous substances (also referred
to as Intensification or, if removed entirely, Elimination).
• Substitute – replace a material or process with a less hazardous one. • Moderate – use less hazardous process conditions, a less hazardous form of a material or facilities chosen to minimize the impact of a release of hazardous materials or energy (also called Attenuation).
• Simplify – design facilities that eliminate unnecessary complexity and make operating errors less likely and that are forgiving of errors which may be made (error tolerance).

• Access for firefighting and emergency response shall be provided in line with
ADNOC AGES requirements.
• No HC piping of any kind shall be routed through control rooms, electrical
and instrument rooms.
• Layout shall be designed such that risk of fire spread between areas is reduced so that a fire or other emergency will be contained in the area of origin. This will also allow for the safe and effective isolation of units from its operating neighbours when shut down for maintenance.
• Proper consideration shall be given for access and maintenance.
• Due consideration shall be given to the prevailing winds while locating vents.
• The buildings to be provided as part of the project are to be adequately protected against gas ingress, blast overpressures and heat radiation from a possible loss of containment scenarios based on their criticality.
• Maximum separation, as far as reasonably practicable, between emergency service system (such as fire water system, emergency power distribution system, communication system, escape, evacuation facilities etc.) and hydrocarbon/hazardous chemical containing equipment.

Primary escape routes shall be 1.2m width in all areas except in H2S RED zone where 1.5m width shall be considered.
• The minimum width of the walkways (elevated or at grade) shall be 1.0m. However, Platforms in Red Zones shall provide minimum clear access width of 1.2m.
• Use of Ladders shall not be permitted in H2S Red Zone areas. Out of red zone, secondary escape may be provided by vertical ladder where the provision of a secondary staircase is not reasonably practicable (subject to COMPANY approval). In such cases the vertical ladder shall be designed to allow safe and efficient escape donning SCBA/EEBA.
• Air intakes for internal combustion engines and turbines, air compressors, inert gas generators, forced draft furnace, buildings including substations, containing unclassified electrical equipment, and boilers shall be properly located to prevent ingress of flammable gas/ vapours.

• Minimum separation distance between different facilities envisaged shall be as per the guidance provided in ADNOC AGES-GL-03-001 & GAP guidelines. Refer to Appendix 1 for separation distances details extracted from AGES-GL-03-001. These tables extracted from AGES-GL-03-001 shall be read in conjunction with dedicated DCA issued by Re-FEED Contractor and approved by Company to TENE-HGDP-59-DCA-0033 (refer “OFFSHORE – Separation Distances in Drilling Centres, GOP and CLQ”). The separation distances will be further validated based on the FERA/QRA studies performed as part of the project scope and suitable mitigation measures will be proposed as required.
•
In order to reduce the congestion level and reduce overpressure, the distance of 9.1 m from GOP Modules (PAU) to Pipe Rack North-South in the Process Area will be maintained as per COMPANY HSE requirements. Moreover, such aforementioned distance will be also maintained between Lift Gas Compressor PAUs and relevant Piperack.
8.1.3
Offshore riser/structure
Additional considerations for Offshore platforms are as follows:
• Design of the risers shall include measures to protect them against damage
due to vessel impact.
•
In offshore towers equipped with stairs, the stairway landing leading to the primary escape route shall be 1500mm wide for platforms in red zone, and 1200mm wide for platforms in other zones.
8.1.4
PAU/PAR
Where the plant layout developing consider the possibility of the use of multilevel Pre- Assembled Unit (PAU) the following shall be considered:
•
It is generally preferred that equipment is installed at ground level to ease access. However due to lack of space or the need for gravity flow between equipment multiple level structures may be needed.
• Where a fire risk exists, the top of any multi-level structure should be within range
of fire hydrants or monitors or shall have its own firefighting system.
• Where multi-level structures are unavoidable, it is preferable to position liquid containing equipment on the lowest level to avoid any spills and drips affecting people and plant below them, so mitigating the risk of escalation.
• The decks of levels above the ground (or lowest) level should be grated, so far as practicable, maximize ventilation and therefore mitigate the risk from potential VCE events
With specific reference to the PAR (Pre-Assembled Rack) the following shall be considered as practicable:
• Piping carrying liquid should be placed on the lower parts of a multi-level piperack, so far as practicable. This is to avoid dripping liquid escalating an initiating fire scenario and also allows any gas carrying pipework at the higher elevations to disperse into free air.

• Piperacks within a Process Unit should be arranged in straight runs so far as
practicable and shall not be routed over the top of equipment items (or piping with flanges) that contain hazardous material.
• This is to limit the amount of congestion in the area, which is beneficial against
potential VCE, and will help avoid escalation in the event of a fire from nearby item of equipment (or flange).
IGNITION CONTROL (HAZARDOUS AREA CLASSIFICATION)
The extent and definition of hazardous areas on the platform shall be according to the recommendations of Energy Institute (EI) publication EI 15.
The reasons for classifying the installation into hazardous areas are to:
• Reduce to an acceptable minimum level the probability of coincidence of a
flammable atmosphere and an electrical or other source of ignition.
• Ensure that electrical and mechanical apparatus is of an appropriate design.
• Assist in the location of air inlets for ventilation systems or combustion
equipment.
The overall design philosophy is to make the installation as safe as possible by minimising the sources of release contributing to a flammable atmosphere, ensuring efficient ventilation to disperse any gas which is released and minimising the ignition potential of any electrical or mechanical equipment located in hazardous areas.
The hazardous area schedule and drawings shall be produced to identify the hazardous classification of zones, flammable material grades, temperature class and sources of releases.
The Hazardous Area Schedule shall provide all the information needed to generate Hazardous Area Classification Drawings. The drawings shall specifically address the location of all equipment units, tanks and vents, and the extent of all hazardous zones.
The hazardous areas associated with drilling and well workover shall be clearly defined within the drilling Contractors scope and where hydrocarbons are involved appropriate classification shall be applied.
The hazardous area classification shall be in accordance with the following references as applicable:
• EI Model Code of Safe Practice, Part 15: Area Classification for installations
handling flammable fluids (Energy Institute) latest edition.
• British Standard BS EN 60079 part 10
•
Institution of Gas Engineers Safety Recommendations SR25, (2001)
The hazardous area classification thus identifies the sources of hazardous and a flammable source is an important part of the basis for layout, as it gives requirements to:
• Determining the layout of processing equipment on the installation;
• Location of combustion air inlets and exhausts outlets for internal combustion
engines and fired units;
• Location and use of ignition sources;

• Selection of Electrical equipment used in hazardous areas;
• Location of emergency equipment;
• Location of vent points;
• Location and design of doors and other connections between areas;
• Drainage connections between areas; and
• Operational- and maintenance procedures in hazardous areas.
Hazardous area criteria shall also be considered during selection of non-electrical equipment for use in hazardous areas, and hot surfaces (exhaust ducts, etc.) located in external areas with temperatures exceeding hazardous area temperature requirements (e.g. 200 degC for T3 Requirement) shall be avoided within the hazardous area.
9.1
Hazardous Area Definition and Criteria
Hazardous area classification is the assessed division of the facility into hazardous and non-hazardous areas, and the subdivision of the hazardous areas into zones according to the likelihood of a flammable atmosphere. Hazardous areas are those in which a flammable atmosphere may be expected to be present, during normal operations at such frequencies as to require special precautions for the construction and use of electrical apparatus. Hazardous areas are subdivided into three zones as follows:
• Zone 0. In which a flammable atmosphere is continuously present, or present
for extended periods.
• Zone 1. In which a flammable atmosphere is likely to occur in normal
operation.
• Zone 2. In which a flammable atmosphere is not likely to occur in normal
operation, and if it occurs, will exist only for a short period.
A non-hazardous area is one in which a flammable gas/air mixture is not expected to be present, and which can form part of a general restricted area within the facility in which all operations (routine or unusual) are carried out under documentary control.
All equipment/devices internal to the buildings can be suitable for safe area. HVAC Air intake and air lock are the only areas of the buildings considered as “external” to the building.
All external equipment on process facilities required to operate in emergency conditions (essential and vital) shall be suitable for Zone 1. In the event of an emergency (Confirmed fire and gas) all the Zone 2 and unclassified equipment shall be de-energised (electrical power isolation) to avoid potential ignition.

All field instruments shall be suitable for installation and continuous operation within a Zone 1, Gas group IIB and ignition Temperature class T3 hazardous area as per IEC 60079 as a minimum. However, Gas group IIC shall be used in areas where hydrogen is handled in line with EI 15 requirements.
In addition to the above requirements, as per ADNOC AGES-SP-03-005, during emergency releases scenarios, the extent of flammable atmosphere (LFL) may reach to unclassified area within the process area. Any equipment exposed to flammable atmosphere within LFL shall be classified as minimum zone 2 and any of these equipment that are intended to be operated during emergency shall be Zone 1 rated as a minimum. Extent of LFL from reasonably worst-case leak (typically 25 mm, Refer HSE-RM_ST01) or LFL contour for 1E- 04/yr, whichever is higher, shall be used to define the extent of process area boundary in terms of HAC.
MINIMIZATION OF LEAK SOURCES

HSECES are defined as systems, equipment or procedures whose function is to prevent or limit the effect of a Major Accident Hazard (MAH) or failure could lead to a MAH. The identification of SCEs and setting of PSs is critical to the process of demonstrating that risk to personnel/asset/environment is ALARP.
System level HSECES identification shall be carried out in accordance to ADNOC Control of Major Accident Hazards (COMAH) Standard (HSE-RM-ST06). Based on the HAZID/ENVID, COMAH and other safety studies, events which could lead to a major accidental hazard will be identified. Bow Tie workshop will be conducted for identifying the prevention, detection, control and mitigation barriers, Emergency Response & Lifesaving equipment failure of which could lead to a MAH. The barriers form part of HSECES.
For each identified HSECES, performance standards in terms of functionality, availability and survivability will be defined as per HSE-OS-ST29. Performance Standard (PS) is a statement, which can be expressed in quantitative or qualitative terms, of the performance required of an HSECES. It can also be used as the basis of verification, in terms of reliability, functionality, dependency and survivability throughout the lifecycle of the installation.
HSECES Performance standard will be verified by IVB (Independent Verification Body) who will be appointed separately for verification of the HSECES PS and preparation of written scheme of examination.

HSECES for operational phase
Tag Level identification of HSECES and preparation of Performance standard for Operation phase shall be part of the Operation Phase HSEIA.
PROCESS SAFETY DESIGN
12.1
Acoustic Induced Vibration
Valves passing high mass flows of gas with large pressure drops can generate high sound power levels in the downstream pipework. This can induce vibrations into the piping which lead to fatigue failure in relatively short duration.
Start-up or abnormal operation can also result in valves being used at more arduous duty than during normal operations. Blowdown valves and large safety relief valves are potential sources of high sound power levels.
The noise generated inside piping downstream of PSVs and EBDVs s shall be checked to ensure that the noise induced fatigue does not occur in the system during venting.
Following corrective actions can be taken for acoustic fatigue damage:
•
Increasing the pipe-wall thickness downstream of valves;
• Specifying “quiet” valves or providing full bore valves plus downstream orifice
plates; and
• Eliminating small bore connections from flare piping wherever is possible and

providing special piping details to avoid stress which could initiate fatigue cracks.
A detailed AIV study shall be performed during the detailed engineering phase to confirm the AIV hazards are properly addressed and captured in design.
12.2
Flow Induced Vibration
The main sources of turbulence are flow discontinuities in the system. This in turn generates high levels of broad band kinetic energy which can propagate through the piping system. This leads to excitation of low frequency vibration modes of the pipe work causing vibrations of piping and, in some cases, pipe supports, which is generally referred to as Flow Induced Vibration. This can lead to fatigue failure at small bore branches. the study Detailed Flow recommendations shall be incorporated in the design of Piping Systems.
Induced Vibration study shall be carried out and
A detailed FIV study shall be performed during the detailed engineering phase to confirm the FIV hazards are properly addressed and captured in design.
12.3

Emergency Depressurization
Blowdown or emergency depressurisation systems shall be provided to discharge the contents of a vessel / process equipment to a safe location, reducing the stress arising within a vessel shell during fire and removing the inventory that is the source of the jet fire. The blowdown or emergency depressurisation systems shall be designed in accordance with API RP 521 and the Flaring. Blowdown and Venting Philosophy, 1- CF0000-04-PHL-0006
Hydrocarbon and toxic handling units shall be segregated into a number of separate zones, each provided with its own blowdown facilities, such that each zone can be individually blown down.
The Emergency Blow Down Valve (EBDV) shall be:

Feedback.
For the details of Emergency blow down at various facilities, refer to Flaring. Blowdown and Venting Philosophy, 1-CF0000-04-PHL-0006.
FIRE ZONE
Fire zones are areas of the plant sub-divided based on the potential for fire & explosion hazard to cause escalation. Fire zones are areas within the installation where equipment is grouped by nature and/or by similar level of risk attached to them.
Fire zones shall be defined according to criteria set in ADNOC Standard HSE-GA-ST07 HSE Design Philosophy. In particular:
• Thermal Radiation - 32 kW/m2 (initial release rate, T=0 minute) and 12.5 kW/m2 (T=5 minutes from initial release rate) whichever is governing from a 25 mm hole size release.
• Explosion Overpressure - 200 mbar at 1E-04/year arising from the unit.
For facilities where automatic blowdown is provided, units shall be segregated based on reasonably worse event LFL distances otherwise flare load for both fire zones should be considered in the design.
For thermal radiation at release duration of 5 minutes, engineering barriers such as emergency shutdown and emergency depressurization, pump shutdown, etc. should be considered.

Fire zones should not overlap inside the unit. If fire zone overlaps, no equipment should be installed within the overlap if overlap is due to fire or explosion criteria. Only piping and pipe rack that shall be fireproofed (if necessary) can be installed in the overlapping areas.
Risk reduction measures such as firewall, blast wall, PFP etc. shall be considered to eliminate or minimise the fire zone overlap prior to finalization.
As a general rule, steel equipment and structure should be cooled or protected by PFP if exposed to heat radiation levels between 8kW/m2 and 32kW/m2.
Cooling should be provided at an early stage for steel exposed to heat radiations level above 32 kW/m2, since unprotected steel will quickly exceed the critical metal temperature (above 400°C) which could result in the equipment losing its mechanical integrity and causing escalation of the fire emergency.
ESDV shall be located close to the fire zone it pertains to, but far enough from the closest hazardous equipment so that it shall always ensure its shut-off function (the ESDV shall not be exposed to a radiation level of more than 12.5 kW/m2 and/or an overpressure of more than 200 mbar in case of explosion in the fire zone it protects).
Ideally the criteria valid for ESDV at facility inlet/outlet shall apply and one single ESDV shall be installed on the interconnection at sufficient distance of both fire zones. However, to reduce distances, ESDV can be located protecting a fire zone at the limit of the adjacent fire zone and vice-versa, providing the interconnection between both fire zones is suitable and the interconnecting piping can be de-pressurized in case of an emergency.
FIRE & GAS DETECTION
The objective of Fire and Gas (F&G) detection and alarm system is to provide an early warning to personnel of potentially dangerous releases of toxic and/or flammable gas or fires, and to initiate automatic actions to reduce the effects and minimize the probability of escalation, e.g. initiate relevant shutdown and depressurization.
In the event of a hazardous situation being detected, the system shall initiate the protective actions and alert personnel in the plant area, Control Room and the Fire Station by means of audible and visual alarms.
Fire and Gas detection systems must be totally independent from the process control systems, stand-alone systems (that are not an integral part of a security system), building or utility management systems and through various instruments shall continuously monitor all areas of the plant for abnormal conditions. Refer to the Project Fire & Gas Philosophy, document no 1-CF0000-40-PHL-0005 for a more detailed overview.
A detailed F&G mapping study shall also be performed to ensure adequate coverage of F&G detectors in the plant.

Wind socks shall be provided at suitable location to assist escape of personnel in case of toxic gas release. Windsocks shall be fluorescent orange in colour and located throughout the installations in highly visible locations.
Safety equipment requirements will be identified and marked on the safety layouts as appropriate for both onshore and offshore facilities. Following is the minimum list of safety and life-saving equipment envisaged for the project scope.

HYDROGEN SULPHIDE (H2S)
Locations where a hydrogen sulphide hazard exists must be classified according to the potential threat from hydrogen sulphide based on the precautions needed to allow people a good chance to escape in the event of an accidental release of hydrogen sulphide. Further detail can be found within the project H2S Philosophy, document no 1-CF0000- 40- PHL-0003.
ADNOC HSE standard, HSE-OS-ST21 identifies zone classification for hydrogen sulphide areas to ensure that safety measures taken provide a level of safety such that the risk level is acceptable to ALARP.
The below classification represents a mandatory minimum requirement. Areas may be classified as Red, Amber or Yellow Zones even when they are technically a less hazardous zone to simplify the application of controls and the usage of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).
Red Zone
A Red Zone is considered to exist if there is a significant risk of hydrogen sulphide release which could be rapidly lethal. It is considered the limit at which personnel carrying emergency escape masks will have no time to don the mask before being overcome. Red Zone is in principle part of the Amber Zone where the toxic risk lies in High Risk region as per ADNOC Risk Matrix.

Therefore, theoretical Red Zone is identified as the regions:
• Where the toxic risk (Toxic - LSIR) is greater than or equal to 1E-03 per year.
• Locations such as confined spaces, valve pits with high H2S containing
equipment, etc. where free movement is highly restricted.
Note that isolation and de-pressuring of the toxic gas inventory could remove the Red Zone (as defined above) and this may be a prerequisite for inspection, maintenance or other operations where entry wearing Breathing Apparatus is impractical.
Amber Zone
An Amber Zone is considered to exist outside the Red Zone where there is a tolerable risk of H2S release which could be rapidly lethal. In this zone, personnel carrying an EEBA or keeping it at hand’s reach are considered to have time to don the mask before being overcome.
Theoretical Amber Zone is identified as the regions where:
• The toxic risk (toxic LSIR) is greater than or equal to 1E-04 per year and;
• Toxic end point of 700 ppm from reasonably worst-case scenarios for each leak sources for a reasonably worse case representative release size of 25mm.
• Locations which contain sour gas (1000 ppm) containing equipment in very high congestions / obstruction regions (typically Volume Blockage Ratio (VBR) greater than 50% or typical highly congested offshore module) and Air Changes Rate (ACR) of 12 can’t be maintained for 95% or more and free movement of personnel and escape / evacuation is restricted. Typical examples are highly congested offshore processing platforms.
Yellow Zone
A Yellow Zone is considered to exist outside Amber Zone if there is a possibility of H2S release which could be lethal if present for prolonged period. In this zone, personnel are considered to have time to reach strategic locations of EEBA to don the mask before being overcome.
Theoretical Yellow Zone is identified as the regions where:
• The toxic risk (toxic LSIR) is greater than or equal to 1E-05 per year; and
• Toxic end point of 100 ppm for reasonably worst-case scenarios for each leak sources at a distance more than 2m from reasonably worst-case scenarios for each leak sources for a reasonably worse case representative release size of 25mm.
During the detail design, the following philosophy shall be demonstrated, when managing the zone classification and its impact to the design:
• Elimination of Red Zones as far as reasonably practicable.
• Elimination / Reduction of personnel exposure to Red Zones as far as
reasonably practicable.
• Reduction in the size of Red and Amber Zones.

Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ) corresponds to the extent of H2S and SO2 gas cloud corresponding to AEGL-3 (10 min) i.e. 76 ppm for H2S and 30 ppm for SO2 from reasonably worst-case representative scenarios, which is from a 25mm release.
The following requirements shall be complied in the EPZ:
• Only Operations and Simultaneous Operations groups are allowed to work in
this zone.
• Temporary offices, workshops may be located outside EPZ.
• No public areas, public roads/highways, environmental sensitive areas, farms, accommodations, canteens/restaurants are permitted. If they exist within EPZ they shall be evacuated.
• SIMOP’s review shall be conducted between the other workgroups working
within the EPZ to define the work restriction and roles/ responsibilities.
• Personnel who are present in this zone shall be H2S trained and certified.
Emergency Awareness Zone (EAZ) corresponds to the extent of H2S and SO2 gas cloud corresponding to 10 ppm for H2S and 2 ppm for SO2 from reasonably worst- case representative scenarios, which is from a 25mm release.
Members of public shall be located beyond EAZ and Offsite Emergency Plan shall be rolled out prior to commissioning. Accommodation and canteens/ restaurants shall be located outside the EAZ. If not feasible, strict mitigation measures with regard to personnel protection and evacuation shall be implemented.
In addition to the requirements stated in HSE-OS-ST21, the following shall be considered in design of facilities in RED and AMBER zone.
• Stairways in Red Zones shall be minimum clear width 1.5m.
• Use of Ladders shall not be permitted in Red Zones.
• Platforms in Red Zones shall provide minimum clear access width 1.2m.
• Manways in Red Zones shall be amended as follows:
➢ Process Vessels in Red Zones above 1500mm ID with dirty service shall
have 30” manway size;
➢ Process Vessels in Red Zones Less than or equal to 1500mm ID with
dirty service shall have 24” manway size
• Barrier fluid reservoirs in Red Zones shall have minimum 50 litres capacity.
• A barrier fluid filling system shall be provided for pumps in Red Zones.

• Sampling points in Red Zones shall be located at grade.
• Closed drain system shall be buried instead of routing through trenches to
eliminate H2S settlement except for sulphur drain.
• The carrier gases for the GCs are not monitored- PT to be installed to the cylinder rack and alarm sent back to DCS, this will save unnecessary man visits to the red zone.
• The access way for the shelter/cabinet cylinder storage should be low enough that a trolley can be pulled up easily-current concrete plinth is very high causing difficulties in moving and storing cylinders.
• Shelters / Cabinets windows shall have suitable UV film to protect the displays
from direct sunlight.
• Air con units condenser and piping etc. should have increased protection
with necessary coating against H2S, SO2 vapours and “acid rain”.
• Breathing air network for the complete red zone with accessible connection
points, hooked up BA sets including platforms and stair ways etc.,
• Where local chemical skids are installed in the Red Zone, the filling point shall be located outside the Red Zone with provisions for hook-up with portable transfer pump.

Appendix A. SEPARATION DISTANCES
A.1.
Block Spacing (Off-site)
The following separation distance tables are given for use in the early stages of a project.
The first set of tables deals with the layout of larger components called ‘blocks’. The second set of tables deals with ‘equipment’ layout.
Separation distances aim to ensure that the risk of escalation from fire and/or explosion event(s) on an adjacent area are tolerable, for most common processes. The numbers are based on typical separation distances from past experience and will need to be validated by Fire & Explosion assessments based on project specific process conditions and estimated hazard ranges.
Note that facility layout for plant with toxic hazards will use the principles in this standard and risk management (often by QRA), but not by separation distance Tables.
Key points to note:
Any deviation from the distances in Tables 1 to Table 8 in this Appendix and not already covered by Re-FEED Approved deviations (see TENE-HGDP-59-DCA- 0033_B - Offshore – Separation Distances in Drilling Centres, GOP and CLQ) shall be justified using Table 7-7 of AGES-GL-03-001, that shall be completed to justify and document the deviation. Such deviation shall be submitted for COMPANY review and approval by COMPANY Technical Authority in line and on the same principles of the Re-FEED Documentation.
All distances used from the Tables in this Appendix shall be validated using FERA.
The distances proposed in this Appendix are not intended to address Toxic risk, which shall be addressed through specific study and risk assessment tools such as QRA as well as HSE-OS-ST21 Management of H2S.
The distances proposed in this Appendix are minimum starting points and may be increased if required, for example, due to operational or construction reasons.

9 60 m from atmospheric storage tanks having a tank sidewall greater than 5 m in height and containing lighter hydrocarbons (high volatile) and
condensates. 30 m from atmospheric storage tanks contain other (less volatile) flammables
10 Spacing of atmospheric storage tanks inside diked walls containing class 1, 2 and 3 petroleum products and unclassified materials shall be in accordance
with the Tank table
11 Loading areas shall be outside plant fence (drums and GRG storage not considered under this point).
12 Control building and Electrical Substation final position/design shall be confirmed by FSA/QRA Studies.

Notes:
For good operational and maintenance access and for safe egress a minimum of 3 meter should be left between lined-up equipment (piping and instrumentation installed, except as noted in the table
Areas under piperacks shall be kept clear for emergency and maintenance vehicles. Where two distances are given. The smaller refers to unit piperack and the larger to main piperacks.
These distances are applicable to ESDV valves used as zone battery limit, isolation valves and in zones in which the capacities contain flammable liquids. Minimum distance may be reduced to 7.5m with additional protection.
-
Motor control centre building shall be construct as non-hazardous pressurised building.
This spacing requirement is not applicable to the driver of a compressor but is applicable to the horizontal distance between the driver of one compressor and possible source of hydrocarbon release from another compressor. Instrument air compressor are to be located in a non-hazardous utilities area at least 15 meters away from process equipment containing hydrocarbon. An underground fire water main will be installed to ring the battery units of process units and atmospheric / pressure storage areas. Fire hydrants / monitors will be provided every 50 meters around storage areas and spaced 15 m away from process fluid hazard Spacing of atmospheric storage tanks inside diked walls containing class 1, 2 and 3 petroleum product and unclassified materials shall be in accordance with Tank tables
- Critical isolation and ESD valves can be inside the bund area with adequate fire protection

50 m distance is based on potential Fire zone from wells. The distance may be further increased based on SIMOPS, Drilling, workover, Operations/Construction requirements
All distances are based on upwind Direction and shall be reviewed based on the conditions mentioned in the other notes.
Public Establishments Type 1: Public Residential Areas, Religious Places, Schools, Farms, Hospitals with inpatient treatment facilities, industrial works/workshops having worker accommodations etc which are considered as sensitive receptors. EAZ is the Emergency Awareness Zone of distance equivalent to 10 ppm H2S Zone)
Public Establishments Type 2: Public Roads, Gas Stations, Restaurants, Industrial works/workshops not having worker accommodations, government offices, parks etc where public presence is expected for a limited time. EPZ is the Emergency Planning Zone of distance equivalent to 76 ppm H2S zone)
Plant flares include fixed or permanent flare stacks designed for the plants (for example, RDS, RMS, GRS, CDS or other Plant units). This also include mobile flare stacks/units.
33KV overhead line could be reduced to 100 m
For railways the exclusion zones shall be 200 m minimum both sides
All Wells separation distances provided in this table shall be applicable for off pad (stand-alone) wells and shall not be applicable for Well Pad. Plats, Production Clusters etc
Separation distances would not discount for ALARP Risk Reduction measures.
All distances are from the skid boundary not to be considered from unit/ Equipment.
The distances given are the minimum recommended safe distance. Initial leverage for the design, however FSA shall determine actual requirements.
Distance between new and existing MOL lines 15 as per corridoring philosophy. However for other buried pipelines (trunklines/pipelines) this can be reduced to 10m with the requirement of note 13 below
Adding a new buried pipeline adjacent /parallel to an existing buried pipeline, separation distance shall be 10 m. However minimum space for constructability and requirements of construction/maintenance right of way has to be ensured (refer to clause no. II.4.3.2 of Standard Specification)
Applicable for laying new Fibre Optic Cable (FOC) next to existing MOL/Trunk line/Transfer line. However, FOC is laid simultaneously along with a buried pipeline could be laid in the same trench as per standard agreed by project team
The above safety distances exclude future expansion requirements of flowline/pipeline/MOL Corridors. Adequate future expansion margins shall be considered. This distance is required for drilling rig/equipment manoeuvrability
When multiple buried pipelines are installed together, then these can be installed in common trench with minimum pipe edge to edge inter distance (refer to clause no. II.4.3.2 of Standard Specification) to facilitate maintenance activity
17
This distance is for planned expansion of the process facilities
