Specification for Painting and Coating of Oil and Gas Production Facilities–Part 5 Version 1.1

1 Preface
1.1 Background
This Specification SP-1246, covers the minimum requirements for protective painting and coating systems,
materials and application methods for the internal and external surface of steel structures and equipment
within the oil and gas production facilities.

Relevant structures and equipment include aboveground and buried onshore tanks, vessels, in-station
pipework, buried sections of above ground flowlines and pipelines, structural steel, electrical and mechanical
equipment. For further information on buried sections of above ground flowlines and pipelines refer to GU-
368.

Whilst the Specification is directed predominantly at protection of onshore oil and gas installations, it also
covers external protective coating of marine facilities such as jetties, mooring buoys, barges and launches.

Internal surfaces of pumps, valves and other mechanical equipment requiring special protective treatments,
are not dealt with in this Specification. For guidance on this contact UER/CFDH Materials and Corrosion.

The coating of new pipelines and existing pipelines requiring rehabilitation are covered in the following
alternative specifications and procedures.

GU-368 Guidelines For The Protection Of Buried Sections Of Surface Laid Pipelines/Flowlines
PR-1180 Procedure for Qualification of Pipeline Rehabilitation Coating Systems
DEP 31.40.30.31-Gen. Technical Specification for External Polyethylene and Polypropylene Coating for
Line Pipe
DEP 31.40.30.32-Gen. Technical Specification for External Fusion-bonded Epoxy Powder Coating for Line
Pipe

1.2 Applicability
All coating work shall be carried out in accordance with this Specification. If a variance is required then
approval in writing from the Custodian UER/CFDH Materials and Corrosion is required.

This Specification is not applicable retroactively.

This specification does not apply to concrete structures. For concrete structures in corrosive environment
consult UER/CFDH Materials and Corrosion.

This is Part 1 of a five part Specification and must be read in conjunction with Parts 1,2, 3, and 4.

PART 1 specifies technical and related requirements. This Part includes performance tests and acceptance
criteria for assessing the acceptability of paint/coating/lining systems for each service specified in Parts 2 and
3.

PART 2 contains recommended protective coating systems for the following categories with respect to new
construction painting/coating activities:

- External surfaces of carbon steel structures, piping and equipment, onshore and marine
- External surfaces of buried carbon steel structures, piping and buried sections of above
ground flowlines and pipelines. (except Class I and Class II pipelines)
- Internal surfaces of tanks and vessels
- Stainless steel and galvanised piping and equipment
- Areas beneath insulation
- Specialist applications

SP-1246 4 Feb 2005

Specification for Painting and Coating of Oil and Gas Production Facilities–Part 5 Version 1.1

This Part also gives descriptions of the generic types of paint used for new construction projects. The
descriptions apply equally to the maintenance paint systems presented in Part 3.

Protective coatings for new pipelines based on Polyethylene (PE), Polypropylene (PP) or Fusion Bonded
Epoxy (FBE) are not covered in this Specification but the general good practices described in this part are
equally applicable to the coating of line pipe..

PART 3 contains recommended Maintenance Coating Systems for the following categories with respect to
location and painting/coating activities and inspection of old coatings:

- External coatings on carbon steel structures, piping and equipment, onshore and marine
- External surfaces of buried carbon steel structures, piping, flowlines and pipelines
including Class I and Class II pipelines.
- Internal coated surfaces of tanks and vessels
- Stainless steel and galvanised piping and equipment

PART 4 contains the detailed requirements for surface preparation and application of coatings to the
categories stated in Parts 2 and 3. This Part contains HSE advice and general inspection requirements.

PART 5 Contains the list of approved coating systems and is a live document that will be updated by UER.

New Projects

PARTS 1, 2 and 4 apply in their entirety to new projects where painting and coating activities are carried out
at site or in the shop.

For painting and coating of package items, carried out prior to delivery to site or to existing facilities, the
requirements, stated in PARTS 1 and 4, apply in their entirety, whilst those of PART 2 apply where
applicable.

Maintenance

Where maintenance painting is to be done, PDO’s technical requirements are stated in PART 1 and those
sections of PART 3 and 4 as appropriate, dependent upon the Scope of Work.

1.3 Units of Measurement

This specification uses and requires the use of the International System (SI) units of measurement in all
documentation. Paint film thicknesses are expressed in microns, 1micron is 0.001mm.
