3.0 POLICY AND OBJECTIVES:

SAUDI ARAMCO is committed to the prevention of harmful oil releases, that may result from the
operations of SAUDI ARAMCO facilities, to either the land or waters of Saudi Arabia. However, in
the event of an accidental oil release, the following are SAUDI ARAMCO's priorities and objectives in
responding to the incident:

3.1 Priorities:

3.1.1 The protection of human life is the first priority and primary concern during all phases
of an oil spill response operation. At any time during a spill incident, the initial overrid-
ing concern shall be the safety of the public and the SAUDI ARAMCO personnel who
are affected, or may potentially be affected by the oil release.
3.1.2 Protecting vital Saudi Arab Government and Saudi Aramco facilities such as major de-
salinization or power plants is the second priority. These facilities affect the health, safe-
ty and economy of a large segment of the people in Saudi Arabia.
3.1.3 Ensuring a minimum of disruption to the safe operation of critical oil handling and pro-
duction facilities is the next priority. The extreme importances of these facilities require
that all company resources be made available for their protection and safe continuous op-
eration.
3.1.4 The protection of the environment is of top priority. Saudi Aramco will follow the most
environmentally sound measures in limiting the impact of the spill.

3.2 To fulfill these Objectives, Saudi Aramco will:

3.2.1 Take immediate action to stop the spill if possible and promptly notify the appropriate
parties, as follows:
- Name of person reporting and/or observing the spill;
- Date and time of observation;

- Badge number;
- Contact details (tel, pager, mobile, radio, vehicle number(s) etc.;
- Location of spill;
- Size (approximate volume);
- Origin of spill if known;
- Weather conditions wind speed and direction and visibility;
- Number of victims / injuries; and
- Any action being taken.

3.2.2 Evaluate the spill and commit sufficient manpower and materials to carry out appropriate
clean up measures, as determined by the Facility Spill Response Coordinator, to contain,
remove or otherwise limit the impact of oil spilled from SAUDI ARAMCO's operations.
3.2.3 Investigate thoroughly the causes of the spill to:

a) allow appropriate preventive measures to be taken in the future; and

b) determine the party responsible for the spill.

3.2.4 Conduct, where appropriate, restoration of facilities and natural, private, or industrial
properties impacted by a spill from a SAUDI ARAMCO facility.

3.3 SAUDI ARAMCO will hold any non-SAUDI ARAMCO agency that is responsible for an oil
spill liable for the costs incurred by SAUDI ARAMCO to clean up the spill and to repair
damaged facilities.

3.4 SAUDI ARAMCO will comply with applicable industry practices, standards and Saudi Arab
Government regulations for the prevention and control of oil releases and abide by authorized
Saudi Government’s direction during the cleanup operation.

3.5 SAUDI ARAMCO will keep Government officials informed, as necessary, in the event of an oil
spill. This information transfer will take place only through appropriate channels as given in
this General Instruction.

4.0 CLASSIFICATION OF OIL SPILLS / LEAKS:

The "classifications" given below are meant as general guidelines only. Any spill can be classified
upward as deemed necessary by the Facility Spill Response Coordinator (FSRC). Spills that either
affect, or have the potential to affect, inhabited areas will be given top priority to ensure that any
impact is minimized.

4.1 Minor Oil Spills

These are oil releases generally less than 50 barrels in size and that are judged to have minimal
adverse effects. These spills represent a minor fire hazard.

4.2 Medium Oil Spills

These are oil releases between 50 and 5,000 barrels in size. Spills of this size can present a
significant fire hazard and carry the potential of substantial environmental impact.

4.3 Major Oil Spills

These are spills greater than 5,000 barrels. These releases require immediate response because
they carry the potential of severe environmental impact and fire hazard. Response activities will
be initiated to protect facilities and environmentally sensitive areas and should continue until
the Facility Spill Response Coordinator (FSRC) determines that the threat is eliminated.

5.0 ALERT SYSTEM:

in mitigating the hazard and in allowing rapid cleanup operation to be initiated.
5.1.2 The observer should be immediately report the leak to the appropriate Superintendent, or
Shift Superintendent, of the operating department involved and OSPAS Oil Planner/Dis-
patcher at either standard telephone number 874-6821 or 874-6822 or on Dedicated
Voice Dispatch (DVD) numbers 2409 or 2607.
5.1.3 The observer should immediately report the leak to the appropriate Regional Oil Spill
Coordinator - Eastern Region (ROSC-ER) or Regional Oil Spill Coordinator - Western
Region (ROSC-WR) if he believes the oil spill may reach seawater or impact the marine
environment.

5.2 Minor Oil Spills

5.2.1 The OSPAS Oil Planner/Dispatcher, when notified of an oil spill by personnel outside
the operating department, shall ensure that the Superintendent, or the Shift Superinten-
dent of the operating department involved, is immediately notified of the spill.
5.2.2 The Superintendent or Shift Superintendent of the operating department involved shall:
5.2.2.1 Assume the function of Facility Spill Response Coordinator (FSRC).
