CHAPTER ONE
1.0 INTRODUCTION
Electrical engineering is a field of engineering that generally deals with
the study and application of electricity, electronics and electromagnetism,
also concerned with research, design, development, manufacture,
installation, operation, maintenance and management of equipment, plant
and systems.
I discovered this during my course of study at The Federal University of
Technology, Minna. Courses such as Engineering Mathematics, Power
System Analysis, Electrical Machines, Workshop practice, Electrical
Circuit theory, Engineering law, Engineering in Society and Management
among others exposed me to the basic theoretical aspect of engineering
practices.
The first practical experience that exposed me to the operations in
electrical engineering was during my industrial experience at Egbin
Thermal Station, Egbin during which I carried out repairs and installation
of field instruments, maintenance of alternator carbon brushes, UPS
systems routine maintenance, station and service transformer schedule
maintenance among others.
I have work in both utilities and Oil & Gas consulting company in various
capacities ranging from Electrical Engineer, Electrical Designer, and
Power Plant Operator and Maintenance Engineer.
I joined CresTech Engineering limited which is an engineering design and
consulting company, servicing the oil and gas industries with great
7
experience in onshore and offshore facilities design for multinationals
such as Chevron, Shell, Total and Exxon Mobil among others.
I have since worked on several projects ranging from Conceptual, Front
End Engineering Design (FEED) to Detailed Engineering Design. I have
also had the opportunity to interact and work with some of the best
engineers available in the field of oil and gas engineering design during
this period.

CHAPTER THREE
3.0 ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING IN CRESTECH ENGINEERING
CresTech Engineering Limited which is an engineering design and consulting
company, designs the facilities, produces the list, specifications and data
sheets of all equipment and materials and issues all drawings required to erect
them at construction for oil and gas, Onshore and Offshore designs for
multinationals such as Chevron, Shell and Total among others. The company
metamorphosed from Crestville to CresTech Engineering Limited as a result
of successful merger with Technip Paris, a member of Technip group.
CresTech consists of various engineering discipline.
Electrical engineering is in charge of design of plant electrical power
generation and distribution. The activities of the Electrical discipline can be
categorized as follows: architecture (of the electrical power generation and
distribution system), specification of all equipment and materials and design
of installation drawings.
Electrical engineering activities start with the identification of all loads
(consumers). This is done from the equipment list generated and shall also
include electrical consumers inside packages, such as a lube oil heater,
Heating Ventilation and Air-conditioning of buildings - external lighting,
building lighting and small power, etc.
There are various stages of project involvement which include Proposal,
Conceptual design, Basic Design/ Front End Engineering Design (FEED) and
Detailed Engineering Design.
17
3.1 Major Electrical Deliverables
Deliverables are the documents or drawings produced during engineering
design.
Below is the major electrical deliverables produced during the design of a
project which I had been involved:
Electrical Load List
Electrical Load List contains all electrical consumers. Equipment actual power
consumption is not available initially, as the equipment make and model is not
known at the beginning of the project. Electrical discipline estimates the
power consumption initially. The estimate is then replaced by the actual power
consumption once the equipment (make and model) has been selected.
When the consumers are identified, the total electrical power requirement of
the plant can be evaluated. This is now the sum of the power requirements of
all consumers. Certainly, they do not all operate simultaneously. A more
refined approach is required to work out the realistic overall power demand.
Consumers are classified according to their frequency of operation, as
continuous, intermittent or spare.
Continuous Loads of consumers which operate continuously when the plant
is in operation, except for breakdowns.
Intermittent machines or consumers with a start-stop cycle: pumps, external
lighting, etc.
Spare machines or consumers which act as a spare for other machines and
which do not therefore operate when the plant is in full operation.
Each type of load is assigned a diversity factor, which is applied to its
absorbed load to work out the total power requirement.

18
Continuous consumers, which are the normal running loads, are rated 100%.
Intermittent consumers, such as offloading pumps working under start/ stop
cycle for instance, are rated 30%.
Spare consumers, such as pump B that operates only in case pump A does not,
are counted 10% only, etc.
The factored loads are summed up in the Electrical Load Summary, which
givens the total plant power demand and also the load on each electrical
equipment(switchboard, transformer) allowing its sizing.
Key (Overall) Single line Diagram
At the beginning of a new project the electrical engineer will draft the key
single-line diagram. The key single-line diagram shows the sources of power
e.g. generators, utility intake, the main switchboard and the interconnections
to the subsidiary switchboards. It also shows important equipment such as
power transformers, busbars, busbar section circuit breakers, incoming and
interconnecting circuit breakers, and connections to existing equipment if
these are relevant and the main earthing arrangements. The key single line
shows at least, the various voltage levels, vector group for each power
transformer and identification names and unique tag numbers of the main
equipment.
Electrical Datasheet
The datasheet for the project is a piece of document containing the parameters
needed by the equipment vendor or manufacturer to fabricate the equipment.
This is also used for the purpose of equipment installation.
19
Electrical Calculations
These are performed once all consumers and electrical equipment
characteristics are known, all cables are sized, etc., the calculations will define
the right settings of electrical protections. This right setting ensures selectivity.
Selectivity means that, in case there is a short circuit on a motor, the
protection of that motor only will open, no higher level protection will open
leaving the other consumers unaffected.
Electrical Cable Schedule
This shows the list of cables, location, cable tag, and type, such as fire
resistant, section size, number of cores and length of each cable.
Electrical Typical Installation Drawings
These are drawings produced for installation and connection of electrical
equipment at Site for power, lighting, earthing, etc.
Electrical Equipment Location Drawings
These are the drawings showing location of all electrical consumers: motor
control stations, field sockets, lighting fixtures and junction boxes etc.
Electrical Bulk Material Take-off
This is prepared in order to purchase cables, cable ladders, motor local control
stations, junction boxes, cable glands and all other small installation materials.
20
3.2 Coordination with other disciplines
At the beginning of the project, electrical engineer needs to identify areas of
engineering and design where interfaces are necessary.
For example:
Process engineers need to inform the electrical engineers on matters relating to
the production processes and supporting utilities.
Mechanical engineers need to advice and also give input to electrical engineer
on power consumption data for rotating machines e.g. pumps, compressors,
fans, and cranes. They will also advise on the input power options available
for different types and models of prime movers of generator e.g. gas turbines,
diesel engine, and gas engines
Instrument engineers generally develop the operation and control philosophies
for individual equipment and overall schemes. Electrical engineer interface to
get the information for interlocking and controls that affect motor control
centres and switchboards, generator control panels, local and remote station;
power supplies for control systems, AC and DC, UPS requirements, battery
systems.
21
CHAPTER FOUR
4.0 PROJECT ENGINEERING
Engineering of a facility is done in two different steps, conceptual phase,
which is the Basic Engineering, and an execution one, which is the Detailed
Engineering. These steps are always done in my company in which I am part
of electrical team for execution. The Basic Engineering is usually done under
an engineering services contract while detailed design is normally part of the
Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC), also called turn-key
contract.
4.1 Basic Engineering
The scope of Basic Engineering also called Front End Engineering Design
(FEED) is to define the facility at a conceptual phase rather than a detailed
level. It entails defining the process scheme, the main equipment, the overall
plot plan, the architecture of systems, etc. Basic Engineering stops with the
issue of the main deliverables defining the plant, mainly the Piping and
Instrumentation Diagrams, the overall layout of the plant (Plot plant), the
specification of the main equipment, Electrical distribution diagrams and the
Process Control system architecture drawing.
4.2 Detailed Engineering
This takes place during the actual project execution phase. It consists of
producing all deliverables necessary to purchase and erect all plant equipment.
It therefore entails producing the specification and bill of quantities for all
22
equipment and materials. It also entails producing all detailed installation
drawings.
Detailed Engineering integrates vendor information as purchasing of
equipment actually takes place in this phase.
4.3 Post Detailed Engineering/ Vendor Document Review (VDR)
The Post Detailed Engineering Design project stage is an interfacing stage
between the design engineer and the fabricator/ manufacturer.
This project stage involves an interaction with the manufacturer of each
component being designed. The manufacturers specification and drawing for
these equipment are reviewed by the design engineers to ensure that what is
design is exactly what is manufactured. At this stage all discrepancies between
what is designed and what can be fabricated are eliminated. A point of
compromise is reached between the designer and the manufacturer (Vendor)
while maintaining the acceptable engineering standard for all equipment.
23
CHAPTER FIVE
5.0 CONCLUSION
Within the last nine years of my graduation, I have been exposed to engineering
design in the field in the field of Electrical Engineering design area of oil and gas
industry.
The experience has been worthwhile as it has the basic knowledge needed to be an
engineer. It has also made me relevant to my generation by adding value to my
generation in one form or the other both to the economy and the common man.
Within the period, I have widely used engineering codes and standards that are
relevant to my field, and I have also undergone some training facilitated by both
Nigeria based and foreign engineers. Also, my exposure to the use of software helps
me to clearly appreciate the wide field of engineering which would have been in
abstract.
24
CHAPTER SIX
6.0 RECOMMENDATION
Gaining experience in an environment like ours in Nigeria where there is low growth
in our engineering activities and low exposure to engineering practice has been a
tasking one. The reform programme of the present government in Nigeria is a good
gesture that must be supported by all. The present Nigeria (local) content drive by the
NNPC in the oil and gas industry would really yield fruitful result for Nigerian
Engineers if genuinely implemented. It will be an avenue through which the current
harsh environmental condition been presently experienced by Nigeria engineers will
be eliminated. The project will create employment opportunities for our young and
determined engineers, it will help Nigeria to domicile its home based engineers. The
government should therefore give the good initiative the needed attention and
resources it needs to strive.
In addition, there is the need for government to increase the funding of engineering
and engineering works in Nigeria. This is needed to fund research works and launch
Nigeria made products to the outside world.
