INTRODUCTION

Project Objective and Location

The ADNOC Ruwais LNG Project is a two train, near net-zero electrically driven LGN facility, targeting international markets. The feed gas for the project is supplied from the Habshan Gas Processing Plant via a new export gas pipeline. The plant will have two 4.8 MTPA (nominal capacity) electric driven LGN Trains with associated LNG storage/marine export facilities and utilities.

Figure 1 – Project Context

The ADNOC Ruwais LNG Project foresees the following main components at the facility:

 Onshore LNG Liquefaction facilities for 2 x 4.8 MTPA electrically driven LNG Trains (9.6MTPA total)

 Common facilities including inlet receiving facilities, LNG storage, BOG handling, flare, refrigerant

storage and support buildings.

 Utilities to support the facilities including import power from the national grid.

 Marine facilities for LNG export and bunkering.

GENERAL

Introduction

This specification describes minimum requirements for the design, manufacturer, testing at works and supply of power cables (up to 220kV), control and earthing cables.

The Specification Parts A to D provide general requirements for all cables up to 220kV and detailed type and construction details for cables up 33kV. Section E provides additional details on preferred cable types for voltages above 33kV. The design, manufacture and testing of these cables is to be agreed with COMPANY before final selection based on Project and Operating group requirements. Specific requirements for cable construction and testing, etc. shall be provided on data sheets.

Purpose

The purpose of this specification is to ensure consistency in selection, design and construction of power, control and earthing cables.

For project and site specific additional requirements, refer to supplementary requirements stated in respective project’s Purchase Requisition documentation.

The average thickness of the insulation, when determined by the method described in Section 11 “Inspection and Tests” shall not be less than the minimum value stated in the data sheet. The thickness at any place may however be less than the specified nominal value provided that the difference does not exceed 10 percent of the specified nominal value.

The thickness of the semi-conductive screen or any separator on the conductor or over the insulation shall not be included in the thickness of the insulation.

Particular attention shall be given to insulation, voltage stress with particular reference to installation conditions and ingress and migration of moisture so as to ensure a long service life.

c.

Insulation Screen (non-metallic)

The insulation screen shall consist of an extruded layer of black thermosetting super-smooth semi- conducting compound applied directly over the insulation.

The thickness of the insulation screen shall be as specified on the Technical Data Sheets.

The inner surface of the insulation screen shall be smooth and free of protrusions and irregularities.

The inner surface of the insulation screen shall be firmly and continuously bonded to the outer surface of the insulation and shall have no tendency to separate from the insulation due to the effect of bending during installation, load cycling and short-circuit under service conditions.

The volume resistivity of the extruded insulation screen shall not exceed 500 Ω-m at 90ºC.

d. Manufacturing Process of Conductor Screen, Insulation and Insulation Screen

The conductor screen, the insulation and the insulation screen shall be mutually compatible and shall be continuous triple extrusion and completely dry cured by a common head in a common manufacturing process. For cooling after vulcanization, dry cooling is preferred. Details of the characteristics of the material and the curing process shall be set out in the data sheet.

To reduce the methane content of XLPE a heat treatment shall be carried out after curing for minimum 7days at 75ºC. The Cable Manufacturer shall provide evidence to have degassed the cable.

The extruded conductor screen, insulation and insulation screen shall be manufactured to the highest standard of concentricity, diameter roundness and longitudinal diameter, stability.

The Cable manufacturer shall provide a detailed description on the extrusion, curing, cooling and heat treatment processes.

Bedding Tape

The core shall be taped overall with semi-conducting tape(s) to prevent mechanical damage to the cable core during manufacture and in service.

Cable fillers of polypropylene (PP) or equivalent shall be used to fill the voids in the cable and ensure a well-rounded finished product.

Insulation Screen (Metallic)

Copper wire screen of suitable cross section with a counter helix tape shall be applied over the semi- conducting bedding tape for the purpose of increasing the total short circuit current rating of the cable.

Longitudinal Water Blocking

Means shall be provided to prevent the longitudinal passage of water between the insulation screen/insulation screen copper wires and the lead sheath. Any material used shall be sufficiently conducting to prevent the development of harmful voltages between the lead sheath and insulation screen/insulation screen copper wires under all operating conditions.

The longitudinal water barrier shall consist of semi-conducting water swelling tapes applied over the extruded insulation screen/insulation screen copper wires.

The water barrier shall be applied such that the complete cable will meet the

requirements of water penetration test as specified in IEC 60840.

Metallic Sheath

The water impervious metallic sheath shall preferably consist of a seamless and continuously extruded tube of lead alloy, which shall meet the requirements of BS EN 12548 and BS 3909 standards. A thin layer of bitumen shall be applied over the sheath. Other alternatives such as Continuous Corrugated Aluminium or Poly-Al Laminate Sheath may be proposed for acceptance by COMPANY provided the alternative is supported by good technical and commercial considerations.

The metallic sheath shall be of best quality and shall be tightly extruded over the water-blocking layer.

The metallic sheath shall be impervious to moisture and free from defects and impurities such as oxides that could give rise to failure under working conditions.

Lead alloy sheaths shall also have good creep ductility to provide the necessary mechanical strength for the cable due to the effects of bending during installation, load cycling, and short circuit under service conditions.

The minimum thickness of the sheath when determined by the appropriate method described in the IEC test standards shall not be less than the appropriate value stated in the data sheet.

When carrying the specified short-circuit current the integrity and performance of any part of the cable shall not be deteriorated due to the rising temperature. The sheath temperature shall neither exceed the allowable temperature of the insulation nor of the outer sheath covering, whichever is the lower.

The metallic sheath thickness and its composition shall be sufficient to ensure adequate mechanical strength and to resist fatigue caused by vibration.

The minimum thickness of the lead or Aluminium sheath shall not fall below 5%+0.1mm of the nominal thickness.
