1. SCOPE OF WORK OUTLINE

The aim of this job is to give the guidelines how to estimate the relevant costs and times for the
decommissioning of n. 358 oil / condensate / gas production wells and pertinent facilities, located in
some South Eastern States of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
NAOC operations are relevant to 61 plants concentrated in 4 Oil Mining Leases (OML) or blocks:
OML 60 (Delta, Imo States), OML 61 (Rivers, Delta States), OML 62 (Delta, Bayelsa States), and
OML 63 (Bayelsa, Rivers State). OMLs 60 and 61 are located on land while 62 and 63 are on
swamp area.
The total concession area, in the South Eastern States of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, is
5324 SqKm comprising of 358 SqKm in OML 60, 1499 SqKm in OML 61, 1221 SqKm in OML 62
and 2246 SqKm in OML 63. The below map relevant to “NAOC OPERATED FIELDS” shows all
sites object of this study
The main technical information relevant to the operated sites have been collected in the attached
Site Data Bank and Site Data Sheets that are an integral part of this document.
Times and costs have been estimated on the basis of several assumptions relevant to the
hypothetic decommissioning scenario at the time of abandonment; therefore they are to be deeply
verified during the detailed decommissioning projet when all information relevant to plants
conditions, manpower and working means availability, etc will be well known.
Sites decommissioning and abandonment criteria are defined under the chapter 3 of this
document. Generally they are in accordance with Nigerian local regulation and statutory
requirements as well as with ENI SpA policy for site decommissioning. In particular the aspect
relevant to safety, environmental impact and emission shall be considered and the reference
documents to be applied are the Document No. 1.3.1.61 titled “HSE Technical Guidelines for
Decommissioning Activities”.

Decommissioning:
Decommissioning is the process whereby part of facilities, such as a platform or a plant or an

equipment is rendered safe and usually removed when the production of hydrocarbons from the
reservoir becomes unprofitable.
Decommissioning project:
Decommissioning operations are generally similar to those for their installation. Like installation
operations, decommissioning work needs to be carefully engineered and specific procedures
should be followed since, in most cases, the facilities to be removed are approaching the end of
their working life and hence it is necessary to consider all modifications that have taken place over
time.
Decommissioning contractor:
Decommissioning contractor is the contractor selected for facility decommissioning.
Company:
Company is NAOC

2.2 SITES CLASSIFICATION AND GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Plants object of this study have been classified as per the below listed categories. Homogeneous
features: like type of prevailing installed equipment, degree of accessibility, etc characterize each
site category.
q Flow stations
q Flow lines and pipelines (including test and delivery lines)
q Well heads
q Process plants
Flow Stations:
A typical flow station is usually equipped with the following installations:
q Three or more stages of separation: high pressure (HP), medium pressure (MP), and low
pressure (LP)
q Very high-pressure separator (HHP)
q A test separator
q Various pumps (number of pumps depends upon the oil production rate)
q A power generator unit
q A firefighting system
In addition to the above listed facilities, each flow station could be equipped with some other
appurtenances typical of each installation (i.e gas compression facilities, hot oil plants, dehydration
unit, etc). Plant data sheets state the main plants’ features on the basis of the available technical
information of each plant.
The produced crude is generally sent via pipeline network to the oil centres, then to terminals
where it is stored; while the produced natural gas is sent (when the flow station is equipped with
gas compression and gas gathering facilities) via gas pipeline network to gas plants, then to gas
pipeline network.
In flow stations not equipped with gas gathering facilities, a portion of the gas produced by the
separation process is used as fuel gas or as instrument gas, while the remaining is flared.
Total number of NAOC operated flow station is 11.
Pipelines:
Each flow station is connected to the nearest oil centre by means of a pipeline. Oil produced in the
flow station is then treated in the relevant oil centre; pipeline network average size is 8”. For the
purpose of this study all pipes have been assumed to be underground.
Flow lines:
Each wellhead is connected to the nearest flowstation by means of a flowline. Flowline average
size is 4”. For the purpose of this study all pipes have been assumed to be aboveground.
Gas lines:
When the flow station is equipped with a gas compression facility the gas produced by the
separation process is sent to the nearest gas plant and then to the pipeline network by means of
gas lines; gas lines average size is 8”. For the purpose of this study all pipes have been assumed
to be underground.

Eni S.p.A.
E&P Division
Test Lines:
In some cases process considerations have suggested the installation of test lines to allow for
facilities testing; test lines average size is 4”. For the purpose of this study all pipes have been
assumed to be aboveground.
Process Plants:
This category includes the following kinds of installations:
q Gas plants (Total number 2) OB/OB - Kwale/Okpai

q Oil centres (Total number 1) Ebocha
q Booster stations (Total number 1)
q Oil and gas storage terminals (Total number 1) Brass Terminal

9. Assessment of a preliminary work schedule based on the available information
10. Assessment of a preliminary project cost based on the available information
Within the completion of this phase, a preliminary project implementation plan is to be issued
including expected cost, time and manpower involvement for plants decommissioning. Project
implementation plan shall be approved by company management.
Authorities approval:
Before a facility can be abandoned and the relevant decommissioning project can start, the
licensees must obtain a written approval from Nigerian Authorities for petroleum. Particularly, an
abandonment plan is to be prepared and all requested documentations submitted in order to get
approval from the Director of Petroleum Resources.
Accordingly to local legal constraints and to contractual undertakings to be verified in each case, it
is therefore recommended to prepare a detailed decommissioning program to be communicated
and/or submitted to the local Authority and/or Joint Venture partners.

5. ONSITE ACTIVITIES

Eni S.p.A.
E&P Division
5.1 GENERALITIES
Once the preparatory works described under the relevant chapter have been completed, the onsite
activities can start. Initially all wells are shut in by operator. From this moment, a rigorous work
permit procedure shall be established and maintained until the plant functional units are fully shut
down, drained and depressurized.
During wells shut in, the operator remains on the plants (with a reduced number of manpower) in
order to run and maintain the limited production and the safety systems. A temporary utility system
shall be set up: provision for an external source of power is to be provided (if necessary), eventual
power generator units powered by produced gas are to be switched (if possible) to be powered by
diesel fuel, external source of gas to maintain the pilot flame of the flare systems and a certain
amount of diesel fuel to power the existing power units, are to be provided, etc. (At the scope gas
lines belonging to the plant can be used as a gas reservoir since they are pressurized).
Particular attention shall be paid, in shutting down the various systems, to the operating aspects of
the process (i.e. in case a hot oil system is present on the plant, the relevant pumps cannot be shut
down until the oil temperature has reached a certain minimum value, surge phenomena for
centrifugal compressor shall be prevented, etc.). In addition, the shut down sequence shall provide
the following system to be maintained in operation as long as possible in order to ensure a safe
and reliable decommissioning process:
q Firefighting
q Domestic and industrial sewer
q Flare and wet blow down
q Cooling water (if any)
q Instrument and plant Air
Once the plant has been shut down, complying with the above-described minimum requirements,
the following activities shall be carried out:
q Plant securing
q Set up of a temporary utility system
q Equipment electrical and mechanical isolation
q Equipment and lines depressurization and or draining (as applicable)
q Flow lines and pipelines draining and flushing
q Equipment and lines purging
q Equipment and lines flushing
q Equipment and lines final gas content verification
q Above ground installations removal
q Site reclamation and re-vegetation

Eni S.p.A.
E&P Division
5.2 PLANT SECURING
Before any onsite activity can start it is necessary to deeply secure the whole plant from a
structural point of view first and then against the possible fires and explosion induced by hot works
execution.
First of all each structure is to be verified to ensure its safeness: hanged loads are to be secured or
removed, all elevated gangways, stairways and ladders are to be hand railed as necessary.
Moreover all equipment lifting lugs, to be used for lifting, are to be deeply verified and certified for
the purpose. At the moment of the decommissioning project execution, the appointed contractor
will develop a dedicate procedure to be submitted to Company for review and approval.
Once the plant safeness has been established from a structural point o view, the around
atmosphere is to be checked in order to detect gaseous hydrocarbon clouds that could generate
hazard during hot works execution. Eventual clouds of gaseous hydrocarbons are to be recorded
and hot works in the interested area are to be prohibited.
All checks must be certified, decommissioning contractor’s safety and quality manager must
endorse certificates, and certificates are to be submitted for Company review and approval before
any job can be commenced.
5.3 SET UP OF TEMPORARY UTILITY SYSTEM
Once the plant and relevant wellheads have been shut down it is assumed that the living facilities
are out of order. It is therefore decommissioning contractor responsibility either refurbish the
existing facilities or provide temporary living facilities.
At the purpose a preliminary documents describing how contractor intends to deal with this issue is
to be submitted since from tender phase of the project. Such document will be further developed
during the decommissioning design phase, by the way it must be in accordance with applicable
Company specifications and with international regulations ruling and this matters.
5.4 EQUIPMENT ELECTRICAL AND MECHANICAL ISOLATION
Once the safeness has been established all over the plant, the following activities must be
completed:
q Isolation valves of lines connected with the plant are to be closed and locked
q Incoming and outgoing lines are to be blinded at plants’ battery limits
q Wellhead valves are to be closed and the connection with relevant flow line blinded
q Incomer circuit breakers are to be opened and extracted at main switchboard
q Local operation selector switches are to be turned to “Off” position
q Electrical Distribution System upstream feeders/starters are to be opened and extracted
q Electrical motor drawers are to be extracted and local selector switches are to be turned to
“Off” position
Decommissioning contractor cannot operate valves, blinds, switches and or circuit breakers without
a written authorization from safety manager.

Eni S.p.A.
E&P Division
5.5 EQUIPMENT AND LINES DEPRESSURIZATION AND OR DRAINING
All liquid / gaseous hydrocarbons contained into plant equipment and lines are to be
drained / disposed to the flare. At this scope each functional unit shall be isolated first and then all
drain and vent valves are to be opened in order to allow the hydrocarbons to be drained. Pressure
containing lines and equipment shall be depressurized by opening the vent valve toward the flare
system.
Once lines and equipment have been drained / depressurized they are to be filled with water in
order to displace the remaining hydrocarbons to the closed drain system (for liquid hydrocarbons)
or to the flare system for gaseous ones. During water filling both vent and drain valves must be
kept opened.
During decommissioning detailed study it will be determined whether some lines and or equipment
are to be steam stripped and or purged by Nitrogen before dismantling can take place.
For economic and ecologic reasons it is advisable that the aforesaid activities will be at operator
care. In fact the operator can use the plant facilities and the wet and blow-down systems that, at
the time of plants shut down, are likely operable. Moreover, in this way, the operator can recover as
much oil as possible realizing, in the same time, the maximum profit with the minimum ecologic
impact.
5.6 FLOW LINES AND PIPELINES DRAINING AND FLUSHING
All flow lines and pipelines belonging to the plant to be decommissioned are to be drained, pigged
and flushed before they can be dismantled (for aboveground lines) or abandoned (for underground
lines). For economic and technical reasons it is advisable that these activities will be at operator
care. In fact the operator could use the existing plant facilities that, at the time of plant shut down
are likely operable. Once the plant has been shut down it would be necessary to power up
heavy-duty pumps to carry out the requested activities.
In order to prevent the lines from plugging it is advisable do not use the pig. Pigging can be
performed pumping clean water inside the lines.
Once the line has been drained and pigged, it has to be flushed in order to remove the
hydrocarbon layer adherent to pipe walls. The following minimum equipment are requested to
perform line flushing:
q Well water and relevant pumps

q Fire water tank (or any other plant tank to be used as surge tank)
q Electric driven flushing water pumps
q Oily water separator (corrugated plate interceptor type)
Basically this study and the flushing price/time are based on the assumption that majority of the
above listed equipment are available and operable at site.
The following minimum requirements are to be complied with in performing the lines flushing
q Water speed inside the pipelines is to be in the range of 0.5÷1m/sec

q Demulsifying agent and chemical compounds are to be injected in the water pump suction
lines in order to facilitate the aggregation of oil droplets and the removal of the thin layer of
oil adherent to the piping walls
q Oily water is to be treated in oily water separators before it can be disposed to the ground.
Particular attention should be paid in avoiding ground flooding creating in such way delay to
the subsequent dismantling activity
q Sludge is to be collected and disposed to suitable incinerators

Eni S.p.A.
E&P Division
The following is to be taken into account in designing the flushing process:
q The total quantity of displacement water is about 110% of the pipeline capacity: this means
8Km/H and 32 Km/H for 4” and 8” piping respectively. Anyhow line flushing shall be
continued up to a water oil content of 10 ppm maximum
q Pressure drop in the pipeline is assumed to be 0.7Kg/m² per Km, therefore the pump total
differential head shall be 0.7Kg/m² times the line length in kilometre
q Pump capacity for a 4” pipe and 8” pipe is in the range of 14÷28m³/h and 56÷112m³/h
respectively
q Final content of oil in the de-oiled water shall be lower than 10 ppm
5.7 EQUIPMENT AND LINES PURGING AND FLUSHING
Any item of equipment or any line containing H2S above 3mg/m³ (=2ppm) or flammable gas above
0.4% by volume has to be purged for reducing the contaminants to the above value before it can
be opened or before hot works can be performed on it; as well as any item of equipment or any line
containing liquid hydrocarbons has to be flushed in order to remove the hydrocarbons. The flushing
is considered satisfactory when a sample of water coming from the flushing show a slight
iridescence. Water can be used for displacing either the gas or the liquid (only if equipment will not
be refurbished). The gas is displaced to the flame, the liquid is drained to close drain or to sewage
system.
For economic and practical reasons it is advisable that operator carries out the flushing. This is
because he can use the plant facilities that, at the time of plant shut down, are likely operable.
The general purging and flushing operational procedure is as follows:
1. Single out the main equipment and associated circuits for rich functional unit
2. Open the isolation valves in the depressurisation lines to flare for each functional unit.
Ensure that all the valves pertaining to the circuits of the unit are opened while the valves at
the battery limit of the same functional unit are closed
3. Make a low level of water in all equipment and drain them in order to drain any traces of
process liquid and sludge. Repeat the operation until water comes out clean
4. Be sure that the water will have a regular down flow to sewage during the lfushing. Fill
completely all equipment with water so that all the gas is displaced to the flare. Close then
the isolation valves in the depressuration line. Open the equipment top vent valve and, one
by one, the valves at the battery limit of the entering and outgoing lines. Flush at first the
main and then the branch lines. Roughly the quantity of water used for the purging and
flushing is two times the capacity of the main equipments of each functional unit. A good
flushing is obtained when water speed into the piping is of 3÷4 mt/sec. The speed of water
increases while the level of liquid and/or the pressure increase
5. Repeat the purging and flushing for all the equipments and associated circuits of the plant.
For the plants the following equipments and associated lines and manifolds are purged and

6. Pumps are usually flushed with water coming from relevant suction vessel, while dead lines,
filters, API skimmer, metering stations can be flushed by means of a flexible hose
connections. Gas turbo compressors and gas generators have been purged during the
shutdown phase. On the contrary they can be purged with nitrogen or with CO2
extinguishers.
Flares and flare headers are purged with nitrogen when purging of all the plant vessel and
circuits has been completed
7. Once the flushing has been completed plant conditions shall be as follows:
• Drain and vent valves are to be kept opened
• Vessel manholes are to be kept opened so that ventilation is guaranteed
• Oil sewage pits are to be kept covered to avoid gas and cutting scales contamination
5.8 CONTROL OF THE ATMOSPHERE INSIDE EACH ITEM OF EQUIPMENT
Even if all liquid has been drained and all plant equipment have been purged from gaseous
hydrocarbons and toxic compounds, liquid pockets can gather at the lower part of vessels and
circuits while gas pockets can develop caused by liquid hydrocarbons evaporation.
It is therefore contractor responsibility carry out the atmosphere control as well as the liquid
pockets draining and gas pockets venting in order to verify that all items of equipment and circuits
do not contain flammable or toxic fluids and that gaseous hydrocarbons content is below the lower
explosiveness limit.
The presence of liquid inside each item of equipment and associated lines is to be checked by
opening the drain valves. Eventual liquid pockets are to be drained, moreover the atmosphere is to
be analysed by portable H2S detectors and explosimeters. At the purpose sample connections,
vents, drains, and gauge taps can be utilized. Certificates are to be issued, endorsed by safety
manager and submitted to client approval before any dismantling activity can be started. The
results of the checks and analyses are to be recorded in the equipment/line checklist.

5.9 PLANT STATUS BEFORE STARTING DISMANTLING ACTIVITIES
Once all activities described within paragraphs from 5.2 to 5.8 have been completed, the
dismantling activity can start. At this stage plant conditions should be as follows:
Process equipment and piping:
q Plant has been shut down and production is cut

q Liquid hydrocarbons, rotating equipment lube oils and chemicals have been recovered
q All piping and equipment have been drained and flushed
q All gas lines and equipment have been depressurized up to flare pressure. Drain and vent
valves have been closed
q Any items of equipment and/or line containing gas have been purged or filled with water in
order to displace the gas trough the flare system
q Isolation valves of lines connected with the plant have been closed and locked. Lines have
been blinded at plant battery limits
q Wellhead valves have been closed and the connection with relevant flow line blinded
(Decommissioning contractor cannot operate valves or remove blinds at plant battery limit)
Electric circuits:
q Incomer circuit breakers have been opened and extracted at main switchboard; local
operation selector switches have been turned to “Off” position
q Electrical Distribution System upstream feeders/starters have been opened and extracted;
local operation selectors switches have been turned to “Off” position
q Electrical motor drawers have been extracted and local selector switches have been turned
to “Off” position
Before plant hand over to removal contractor it is important thoroughly ve rify and freeze the plant
conditions. At the scope the following checklists should be used as plant hand over documents:

All checks must be carried out or endorsed by Contractor safety manager and witnessed by a
Company representative. Final revision of the above checklists must be agreed among Company
and decommissioning contractor.
5.10 ABOVE GROUND INSTALLATIONS REMOVAL
The dismantling procedure of the various items is to be deeply engineered during the detailed
decommissioning study defining the most suitable, procedure from technical and economical point
of view taking also into account the safety aspect.
For the purpose of this study we have considered that, once removed, the items will be temporary
stored in a lay down area from where they will be loaded on transportation trailers to be disposed to
the final disposal area. This is to avoid to hold the transportation trailers for long periods and to
avoid the presence of transportation trailers in the areas of plant interested to dismantling activities.
Transportation from site to the lay down area will be performed by means of shuttle trucks.
Only the very heavy or unwieldy equipment will be loaded directly in situ to avoid expensive
handling.
Reselling to the second hand market of the removed items has not been considered in this study:
therefore all removed items will be disposed as scraps.
The following minimum requirements have been defined for the purpose of this study:
Dismantling sequence:
Dismantling sequence is to be studied in order to avoid interferences between the various works
and avoid hazards related with such interferences.
In this study the following dismantling sequence has been considered:
1. Piping
2. Tanks: storage, gun-barrel, fire water, etc.
3. Items of equipment at ground levels which have easy accessibility and low, average weight
and overall dimensions (pumps, air compressors, air receivers, K.O. Drums, pig
launchers/receivers, fuel gas scrubber, filters etc.)
4. Heavy weight and high overall dimensions items of equipment: separators, atmospheric
stage surge vessel, gas compressor discharge K.O Drum, gas turbo-compressor, flares,
(platform flooring, handrails, stairways, supports, ladders, insulations are considered part of
the main items and therefore removed at the same time)
5. Cables, MCC, transformers, air conditioners
6. Steel structures, lighting poles, pipe-racks
7. Buildings
8. Foundation concrete
Piping dismantling:
Piping is cut into pieces of 8 meters each maximum in order to avoid special transportation. Piping
pieces are obtained by cutting the pipes by means of cutting torches. Where possible flanged joints
are to be selected in order to minimize cutting operations.
Special precaution must be taken for elevated piping to avoid injuries to dismantling people: piping
shall be suitability secured to cranes before cut it into pieces. A lifting plan is to be prepared and
approved by safety manager.
The time for disconnecting a couple of flanges or for cutting a piece of piping has been assumed to
be 15 minutes being involved two pipe fitters; a piping average diameter of 8” has been assumed.

Eni S.p.A.
E&P Division
Tank dismantling:
Tanks are dismantled by cutting roof, shell and the bottom plates, into pieces of 2.5x8m. During
dismantling operation use of TIRFOR to brace the tank shell plates has been considered. For the
small tanks TIRFOR use can be replaced by securing the shell plates to the scaffolding structure.
For plates cutting both automatic-cutting machines and cutting torches have been considered. The
average cutting rates have been assumed as follows:
q 20cm/minute for an average thickness of 19mm for automatic cutting machines

q 30 cm/15 min for torches
Equipment dismantling (including steel structures, lighting poles, etc):
Equipment is dismantled reducing them on pieces so small that special transportations are avoided
either for dimensional reasons or for weight limits. Small items of equipment are dismantled in one
piece only.
All items of equipment are properly secured before dismantling activity can be started. Use of
cranes, bracings, scaffoldings and temporary reinforcing welds is to be considered.
Use of equipment lifting lugs, without previous verification and certification, for equipment lifting is
forbidden.
Use of automatic cutting machines is considered for equipment to be reduced in pieces (i.e
separators, columns, etc).
Power and instrument cables:
Above ground power and instrument cables are to be pulled and coiled in wooden drums.
Removed cables will be disposed as scrap. Underground cables will be kept in place.
Buildings and civil structures:
Buildings and civil structures are totally removed by means of excavators provided with hydraulic
hammers and hydraulic clamps. Shovel to collect concrete debris has been considered. Small civil
structures (i.e pump basement) are removed by using portable pneumatic hammers.
Civil residential installations belonging to process plants are kept in place to be handed over to
local authorities and communities. Refurbishment costs of existing structures have not been
considered for the purpose of this study: they will be defined during the detailed decommissioning
study.

Eni S.p.A.
E&P Division
5.11 SITE RECLAMATION AND RE-VEGETATION
Once the decommissioning process has been completed and all civil structures, roads, paved
areas and mechanical installations have been removed the soil shall be deeply checked in order to
detect eventual hydrocarbon contaminations.
Soil checks must be witnessed by Company representative and must be certified by

decommissioning contractor. Certificates are to be submitted to Company for review and approval
in order to get the permit to proceed with the soil re-vegetation phase.
Eventual contaminations are to be corrected. At the scope a suitable specification is to be prepared

and submitted to Company for review and approval. Decontamination specification is to be in
accordance with international regulations and with Nigerian laws ruling on this matter. The
procedure shall describe all the phases of decontamination project including wastes transportation
and final disposal. Special precautions are to be taken to avoid contamination to expand to
surrounding area. Generally speaking transportation by means of sealed watertight containers
would be preferred. Transportation by dump body truck is allowed only upon company and local
authorities written approval.
5.12 END OF WORKS AND AUTHORITIES APPROVAL
Once mechanical and civil dismantling activities have been completed, decommissioning contractor
shall issue a walk trough request for the dismantled site inspection to be carried out by Company
and authorities.
After site inspection, Company will issue a punch list incorporating also authorities comments.
Removal works can be considered completed only upon punch list items clearance by contractor. A
punch point will be considered cleared once client signature for approval has been collected.
Relevant decommissioning completion certificate shall be issued, signed by Company and returned
to decommissioning contractor as end of works document.
Contractor shall prepare a final quality book collecting all certificates, test reports, test results and
check lists signed by company for approval. Test documentation shall be stored and maintained
available by contractor for at least five years after the issuing of decommissioning completion
certificate.
5.13 HEALT AND SAFETY ENVIRONMENT
During the decommissioning of a site at the end of its working life, clean-up of the facilities (or part
of facilities), the lines connecting the tanks, the tanks themselves, the area around the well, the
lines connecting the well to the facilities, the sewer system etc. plays a fundamental role.
To ensure that the decommissioning activities are carried out in compliance with safety and
environmental protection standards, it is of fundamental importance that thefire- fighting
system and sewer system are the last structures to be dismantled.
The most significant sources of hazard associated with plant dismantling are the following:
q Soil and water contamination by hydrocarbon spillages

q Toxic and flammable gases released from equipment and or lines containing hydrocarbons
q Toxic and flammable liquid hydrocarbons and or chemical released from equipment or lines
q Hanging loads
q Walkways, ladders, gangways and stairways structural stability
All precautions shall be taken to limit, as far as practical, injuries to personnel and environment
pollution due to the above sources of danger. One o more plant safety manager shall be appointed
to deal with the safety issues and a work permit procedure must be established and maintained
during the whole decommissioning process execution.

Eni S.p.A.
E&P Division
Particularly, at least the following must be complied with:

Eni S.p.A.
E&P Division
Plant preparation:
Entrance to plant area of people not related with the job shall be prevented with safety fences and
signs to warn of hazards and hanged loads. Safety signs are categorised under the following
headings:
q Mandatory (white on blue)

q Prohibition (red on white)
q Warning (black on yellow)
Use of gloves, helmets and safety glasses shall be prescribed as mandatory together with the use
of safety harness for activities to be carried out on elevated levels.
Moreover plant structural stability is to be verified: all hanged loads are to be fastened or removed
and all elevated platforms, stairways, ladders and gangways are to be hand railed as necessary.
Fire prevention:
To deal with the fire protection issue, the decommissioning sequence should provide the plant
firefighting system to be maintained operable as much as possible. Moreover portable and wheeled
fire extinguishers are to be spread all around the plant and particularly in areas interested by hot
works.
Extinguishers must be located so that they can be easily reached by the pipe fitters that are
working in the area; moreover they must be located on both of the sides of the equipment to be
protected. Type of extinguisher must be selected on case-by -case basis: wheeled extinguishers
are to be used together with portable ones.
Hot works must be subject to work permit procedure: such works cannot be started without
previous verification of the gaseous hydrocarbons content on the environment of the area
interested by hot works. Atmosphere verification must be certified and certificate is to be submitted
to safety manager review and approval before work permit can be obtained.
Lifting activities:
Lifting activities without previous approval by the safety manager of the relevant lifting plan shall be
forbidden.
Lifting plan shall include slings and shackles certificates as well as lifting lugs verification
certificates.
Particularly all equipment’s lifting lugs to be used for equipment lifting are to be verified by an
applicable NDT examination. Type of examination to be applied is to be described in a dedicated
procedure to be agreed with company safety department.
First aid nurse and medical assistance:
At least a male nurse experienced in first aids provided with first aid medical apparatus and
medicines shall be appointed.
Furthermore an agreement with the nearest hospital for an emergency intervention at site of a
doctor with an ambulance shall be stipulated.

5.14 BATTERY LIMITS
Decommissioning project should be likely split into three working packages: wellheads, flowlines
and pipelines and flow stations / process plants respectively.
In this case the contractor in charge for process plants and flow stations decommissioning will be
the main contractor. It will be his responsibility to provide accommodation for personnel involved in
wellheads and lines decommissioning as well as provide a lay down area facilities to store
materials removed by the other contractors.
Even if the battery limits will be better defined during the detailed study, as preliminary indication
the following shall be considered:
Main contractor (Process plant / flow station):
q Arrival manifold valves

q Delivery manifold valves
q Incomer circuit breakers (in case of external power supply)
Flow line / pipeline contractor:
q Wellhead wing valves

q Arrival manifold valves
Wellheads contractor:

7.1 DECOMMISSIONING COST DEFINITION
The following items compose the decommissioning cost:
• Mobilization / demobilization cost (For flowstation)

• Mobilization / demobilization cost (For flowline/pipeline)
• Pipelines flushing unit cost
• Flowlines flushing unit cost
• Flowlines dismantling unit cost
• Wellhead total cost

7.2 SITES CLASSIFICATION
In order to simplify the demobilization study of NAOC facilities, all sites have been split into four
categories. Homogeneous features like type of prevailing installed equipment, degree of
accessibility, etc characterize each site category.
The following types of installation have been considered on this study:

• Flow stations
• Flow lines and pipelines
• Well heads
• Process plants
Different philosophies have been applied in evaluating the decommissioning costs and times for
each of the above listed type of installation. Main topics of the decommissioning study for each site
category are broken down within the following paragraph.

7.3 DECOMMISSIONING COST & TIME EVALUATION
7.3.1 Flow stations
Three sample plants have been studied in detail (Oshi, Idu and Clough Creek). The following
information have been derived:
q IDU flow station total steel and concrete amounts

q IDU flow station decommissioning time
q IDU flow station decommissioning cost
q IDU flow station concrete and steel unit costs
q OSHIE flow station total steel and concrete amounts

q OSHIE flow station decommissioning time
q OSHIE flow station decommissioning cost
q OSHIE flow station concrete and steel unit costs
q CLOUGH CREEK flow station total steel and concrete amounts
The following documents have been produced:

q OSHI FLOW STATION DISMANLTING ACTIVITY BAR CHART
q OSHI FLOW STATION DISMANLTING ACTIVITY SUMMARY TABLE
q IDU FLOW STATION PLANT DETAILED ANALYSIS

q IDU FLOW STATION DISMANLTING ACTIVITY BAR CHART
q IDU FLOW STATION DISMANLTING ACTIVITY SUMMARY TABLE
q CLOUGH CREEK FLOW STATION PLANT DETAILED ANALYSIS
Decommissioning costs and times for the remaining flow stations (other than sample plants), have
been derived from the above listed information and documents.
Mobilization/demobilization
Time:
An average mobilization/demobilization period of 15 Days with 11 people involved has been
assumed for all flow stations. Ten days have been considered for mobilization and 5 days for the
demobilization.
Cost:
Mob/demob cost is assumed to be a constant value of 200 K$ for all flow stations.
Civil structures removal cost
Generalities:
A concrete unit cost has been defined as the cost for demolish and dispose one cubic meter of
concrete. Since all flow stations have similar kind of installation, the same concrete unit cost can be
assumed for all of them.
Stated as above the civil structures removal cost can be evaluated on the basis of the equivalent
concrete amount of each installation. Volume of concrete belonging to the sample plants has been
evaluated within the detailed study.

Eni S.p.A.
E&P Division
Concrete volumes:
Concrete volume belonging to each flow station (other than sample plants) has been assumed to
be related to the number of main equipment installed on the plant. This should be a logic
assumption; in fact a greater number of equipment means a bigger plant extension and likely also a
bigger concrete amount.
The following table and the relevant formula have been derived from sample plants analysis:
PLANT N. OF MAIN EQUIPMENT TOTAL CONCRETE [M3]

OSHIE 21 3.309
IDU 15 1.352
CLOUGH CREEK 15 853
According to the above table, the concrete amount is related to the number of main equipment by
means of the following formula:
Concrete [m3]= 326,167 x N – 3.540
Where N is the number of main equipment (see below list). It shall be noted that the above formula
cannot be applied to the flow stations located in swamp areas (quantity of concrete is lower than
flow station located in land areas); for the above reason a corrective factor of 0.63 will be applied
for swamp area flow station.
For the calculation steel and concrete amounts the following item of equipment have been
considered as “main equipment”.
q Oil / Gas Separators

q Liquid receiver vessels
q Process pumps
q Power generators
q Process gas compressors
q Oil Heaters
q Storage tanks
q Gun barrel
q Metering units
q Oil stabilization units
q Dehydration units
q Flare stacks
q Process gas Scrubber
q Gas Boot

Concrete unit cost:
Concrete unit cost has been evaluated on the basis of detailed analysis of IDU and OSHIE flow
station. The following table summarizes the results of sample plants analysis:
PLANT TOTAL CIVIL COST [US $] TOTAL CONCRETE [m3] CONCRETE UNIT COST
[US $/ m3]
OSHIE 1.547.904 3.309 468
IDU 744.615 1.352 550
3
According to the above table, the average concrete unit cost is 510 US $/m . For flow station
located on swamp areas, concrete unit cost has been increased by a factor 1.25 (information by
Contractors operating in local area) to account for a reduced productivity due to environmental
conditions.
Steel structures and mechanical equipment removal cost
Generalities:
A steel unit cost has been defined as the cost for remove and dispose one ton of steel. Since all
flow stations have similar kind of installation, steel unit cost can be assumed to be the same for all
of them.
Stated as above the steel structures and mechanical installations removal cost can be evaluated
on the basis of the equivalent steel amount of each installation. Weight of steel belonging to the
sample plants has been evaluated within the detailed study.
Steel weight:
Steel weight belonging to each flow station (other than sample plants) has been assumed to be
related to the number of main equipment installed on the plant. This should be a logic assumption;
in fact a greater number of equipment means a bigger plant extension and likely also a bigger steel
amount.
The following table and the relevant formula have been derived from sample plants analysis:
PLANT N. OF MAIN EQUIPMENT TOTAL STEEL [Kg]

OSHIE 21 2.828.903
IDU 15 1.033.000
CLOUGH CREEK 15 1.041.000
According to the above table, the steel amount is related to the number of main equipment by
means of the following formula:
STEEL [Tons] = 300xN – 3.456

Where N is the number of main equipment as defined under the paragraph relevant to civil
structure demolition.

Eni S.p.A.
E&P Division
Steel unit cost:
Steel unit cost has been evaluated on the basis of detailed analysis of IDU and OSHIE flow station.
The following table summarizes the results of sample plants analysis:
PLANT TOTAL MECHANICAL TOTAL STEEL STEEL UNIT COST

COST [US $] [Ton] [US $/ Ton]
OSHIE 1.855.137 2.828.903 666
IDU 944.887 1.033.000 915
According to the above table, the average steel unit cost is 790 US $/Ton. For flow station located
on swamp areas, steel unit cost has been increased by a factor 1.25 (information by Contractors
operating in local area) to account for a reduced productivity and for a greater transportation cost
due to environmental conditions.
Flow station decommissioning time
Since all flow stations have the same kinds of installation, the decommissioning time can be
considered to be a function of the number of main equipment installed on the plant itself.
The following table shows the results of sample plants analysis:
PLANT N. OF MAIN EQUIPMENT TOTAL DISMANTLING TIME [Days]

OSHIE 21 95
IDU 15 87
According to the above table data, the dismantling time is related to the number of main equipment
by means of the following formula:
TIME [Days] = 67 + 1.33xN
Where N is the number of main equipment already defined in the section dedicated to the concrete
and steel amount estimation. For flow station located in swamp areas a corrective factor of 1.25
has been applied to account for a reduced productivity due to environmental conditions.

7.4 LIFTING AND TRANSPORTATION
In designing the decommissioning and removal procedures, particular attention has been paid in
avoiding special transportations and lifting. Therefore it is assumed that heavy -duty lifting means
are not required. This to avoid use of heavy duty cranes both at the plants to be dismantled and at
the final disposal areas.
Only for tanks dismantling the use of a 50 tons crane is to be considered to allow for lifting of loads
having a considerable eccentricity from the crane base.
Limits for transportation have been assumed to be 2 X 8 meters as maximum allowable dimension
while for lifting a maximum allowable weight of 10 tons has been considered. All piping, equipment
metallic structure, etc have been reduced in pieces so small so that the aforesaid limits are not
exceeded.
Metallic scraps are loaded on trailers of 18 tons average capacity. Number of trucks has been
evaluated dividing the total steel amount by the average truck capacity.
Concrete and wall debris resulting from equipment foundation, buildings, roads and paved areas
demolition are loaded in dump body trucks of 10m³ capacity roughly equivalent to 21tons. Number
of trucks has been evaluated dividing the total concrete amount by the average truck capacity.
A rate of two trips/day (average speed 30 Km/Hr) is assumed for all assets located closer then 50
Km from final disposal areas and of one trip/day for all other assets. Distances assets-final lay
down areas are stated under the next paragraph.
To account for a bigger distance for final disposal area, decommissioning costs for Clough Creek,
Tebidaba and Ogbainbiri has been increased by a factor 1.07.
7.5 DISTANCES ASSETS – FINAL DISPOSAL SITES
Final disposal sites are the following:
q BRASS TERMINAL (For all plants located on swamp areas)

q OBIAFU –OBRIKOM (For all plants located on land areas)
The following table details the distances between each asset and the corresponding final disposal
area:

8. HYPOTHESIS AND ASSUMPTIONS
The whole study is based on the following assumptions:
1. Removal of plant facilities will take place a little while later than plant shut down so that cost
for plant refurbishment can be estimated and included in mob/demob price
2. Ten working hours per day with 70% of actual working time and 30 % of idle time has been
considered
3. Seven working days / week has been considered. Holiday periods have not been considered
in evaluating plants decommissioning time
4. Chemicals and other pollutant materials have been collected and properly disposed by
operator. The relevant cost is not included in the scope of this study
5. Operator has performed tanks reclamation and cleaning prior or immediately after plant shut
down. Relevant cost is not included on the scope of this study
6. All removed items will be disposed as scrap. Reselling to the second hand market is not
considered
7. Concrete volumes and equipment weights (for process and sample plants) have been
generally derived from plant documents. When plant documents were not available the
quantities have been estimated by Tecnomare on the basis of characteristics of similar
equipment installed on a different plant
8. Manpower and equipment prices have been supplied by NAOC during site survey

9. EXCLUSIONS
The following has not been considered in estimating both decommissioning prices and times
1. Cost and relevant time for refurbishment of installations to be handled to local authorities is
2. Cost for procurement of fixed equipment necessary for site decommissioning (i.e steam
generators, API skimmers, surge tanks)
3. Revenue for selling the used equipment to the second hand market
4. Revenue for selling the steel scrap
5. Back to back shift periods
