1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Project Description

The objective of the Nawara Development Project is to recover the associated and non-associated
gas reserves from the Nawara Concession, separate and pretreat the fluids from 9 wells, gather them
in Central Processing Facility (CPF), convert them into a commercial condensate and pre-treated gas,
export the condensate via a new pipeline into the existing TRAPSA pipeline, and export the gas via a
new pipeline to Gabès. At Gabès, the gas will be treated in a dedicated Liquefied Petroleum Gas
(LPG) extraction facility to commercial specification required for end user consumption.
In Gabès, the gas will be conditioned in a Gas Treatment PLANT (GTP) into commercial products,
and sold to the end users: STEG and SNDP.
The “NAWARA Project - Pipelines” main characteristics and facilities are as follows:
- A 24” pipeline which will deliver the raw gas from Nawara CPF to a Gas Treatment Plant (GTP)
located at Gabès (L=371km);
- A 6” pipeline which convey to TRAPSA the separate condensate extracted at CPF (L=12km);

- The export lines for Sales Products for delivery to customers at Gabès selected custody transfer
points. The 20” sales gas is delivered at STEG (L=1 km) while 6” Propane and 4” Butane are delivered
at SNDP (L=1, 6 km). The condensate that may form at GTP is exported by road Tanker.

4.3 Test Medium

The minimum requirements for the physical and chemical treatments to be performed on water to be
used for hydrostatic testing of pipelines will be defined by OMV and BIMS during detail engineering
design and by guide in the following table.
As guidance the physical and chemical treatment for test water is required to prevent:
• Corrosion of materials during the pressure test, or after resumption of operations, due to the presence
of this water.
• Massive contamination of the tested pipelines by bacteria, which are likely to remain in the pipes
after dewatering.
Table-01 Water Treatment
Water supply is located in Nawara CPF. 4 Break tanks will be located close to Nawara water well and
will be keep full in order to prevent air inclusion during the pumping and be as back up during the time
required for change the generator used for the submergible pump inside the well,
The water shall be filtered through 50 micron filter, before entering the test section.
After water analysis be performed and report reflect what chemicals need to be added to the water, a
treatment packages containing an oxygen scavenger will be connected to the water line for filling the
003
sections. Additional SRB test will be performed, Biocides will be added as required. Company and
Contractor will agree on the required treatment. Batch treatment will be done section by section.
Environmentally acceptable Water treatment packages will be used.
The water analysis shall show:
• Sulphate concentration
• Fatty acids concentrations, if the total dissolved organic carbon is above 15 ppm
• Ammonium concentration
• To minimize biological fouling and/or bacterial corrosion to an acceptable level in the filled pipeline,
the above analysis shall not exceed the following limits: required
• Sulphate concentration 42 ppm
• Fatty acids concentration 14 ppm
• Ammonium concentration 3 ppm

The chemicals will be stored in the original packing and properly marked.
MSDS and technical specification will be provide at site.
Protective clothing, breathing apparatus, gloves and goggles shall be worn when handling chemicals.
A Safety shower and eyebath shall be available at appropriate locations.
Water analysis will be perform before is transferred to the next sections and will be re-treated if it is
necessary at any time water transfer is performed.
4.4 Water disposal

Water from hydrotest sections will be discharged in full compliance with current local regulations and
Company safety and environmental specifications and procedures.
The total amount of water required for hydrotest is 14.175 M3 which is required to fill the first 2 sections
of the pipeline system. After hydrotest of the filled section, the flooding spread will be mobilized from
CPF KP0 and set up in at the end of the section 3 KP 50+301
A break water tank will be installed along with the 50 Microns filter to receive the hydrotest water and
003 transfer with the filling pump to the following 2 sections of the pipeline. Filtration will be on the
discharge of the tank.

9 PRE-TEST REQUIREMENTS
9.1 Requirements Prior to Pressurizing

The Hydrotest engineer will be in charge to perform the air inclusion calculation plotting the
pressure/added volume using the volume reading from the flow meter measurement and pressure
from pressure gauge plus dead-weight tester.
The rate of pressurization should be constant and not exceed 1 bar/minute until a pressure of 35bar,
has been attained.
During this period, volume and pressure readings should be recorded at 1 bar intervals.
The hydrotest technician or operator the pressurizing equipment shall immediately report to the test
engineer any variation in the rate of pressure increase by the same volume of added water. During
pressurization, all potential leakage points shall be checked.
When the pressure reach 35 bar, the pressurization will stop and the air content calculation will be
performed. Once the air content is within the maximum allowable limit of 0.2 percent of the test section
volume, an air content certificate will be signed off by BIMS and OMV, then the pressurization continue,
up to 80 percent of the test pressure and be held by 2 hours. During this water stabilization period
accessible flanges and ball valves in the system, will be checked for small leaks. If any are found, the
test section shall be depressurized at not more than 2 bar/min to 70 bar, prior to any tightening.
The volume and pressure readings will be recorded at 10 minute intervals during the pressurization.
After stabilization, the pressure will be raised to 95 percent of the test pressure and held for 30 minutes,
then the pressurization will be increased to the specified test pressure at a rate not exceeding 0.5
bar/min.
When the pressure reach 100 percent of the test pressure a pressure/Temperature stabilization period
will last a minimum of 4 hours.
When the stabilization has been confirmed (i.e. the previous 4 hours readings will show no pressure
variations of greater than 0.1% of 100% of test pressure), all data will be compiled and presented to
the OMV and third party representatives to get permission to commence the 4 hour hold period.
The pressures and added volumes should be continuously plotted until the specified test pressure has
been achieved.
The plot should be constantly checked and, in the event of any deviation of 10 percent or more from
the theoretical line corresponding to 100 percent water content, the test should be terminated.
The pressure will be released and an investigation shall be carried out to determine the cause of the
deviation prior to re-pressurization.
9.2 Temperature Stabilization

As soon as the test section is filled with water, the stabilisation period will commence
For the temperature measurements, thermocouple type instruments with read-out should be used the
required minimum ambient temperature is +2°C.Pipe wall and ground temperature thermocouples will
be installed at every 5 km of the test section and each end
For the pipe temperature measurements, they should be firmly attached to bare corrosion protection
coating and covered with insulating
For the soil temperature measurements, they should be buried at pipe horizontal center line depth and
0.5 m laterally from the pipe.
The water temperature stabilization period is required for the first four sections and no stabilization
time is required in the following sections since the water temperature has been adjusted to the soil
temperature already in the previous sections.

The test section temperature and the ambient temperature (soil/air/water) shall be plotted against time
during the temperature stabilization period.
Prior to commencing the hydrostatic test, the water temperature shall be within 1.0°C of ground
temperature. This shall be determined as the difference between average pipe temperature and
