KZ01-SA-REP-00-0008 Evaluation of the Main Access Routes to Block 61




1. Introduction The Khazzan Project is investigating the development of the Khazzan tight gas field within Block 61 in Oman, approximately 350 km SW of Muscat. Although Block 61 covers an area of 2800 km2, the Khazzan project will develop the south of Block 61 that covers an area of circa 1544km2. Block 61 will be developed in a series of projects and the Khazzan project represents the first development. The Khazzan project includes:

A Central Processing Facility (CPF) with a capacity of 34 million Sm3/d (1,200 MMscfd) of gas constructed in two identical 17 million Sm3/d (600 MMscfd) trains.

A substantial Well Production and Gathering System accessing the Barik and Amin reservoirs. These will collect and deliver the multi-phase fluids from numerous wells sites (250-430) to the CPF via a gathering network in excess of 500Km.

The associated infrastructure system to support the project during each phase including the ongoing Drilling Program and Gathering System development. This will include Operations bases, Residential complexes, Airfield capable of landing 737 jets, Drilling support / Logistics base, Drilling camps, Contractor compounds, Power Distribution, Telecommunications, Sewage treatment, Waste handling and Roads.

In order to execute the Project, the following transportation volumes are estimated:-

~300-350 materials/goods loads per day (GPO/GWO combined) ~1300 Wells personnel movement in the Block per day ~3000 - 5000 Construction personnel movement in the Field (CPF & GWES sites)per

day ~250 crew changes per day

2. Purpose This transportation strategy document outlines the general guidelines to be taken into consideration for the effective and efficient management of vehicle movements (for passengers & materials) for Khazzan Project.

3. Scope The strategy is applicable to all transportation associated with Khazzan project, including:-

Transportation of personnel to/from Block 61 Transportation of personnel within Block 61 Transportation of equipment and materials to/from Block 61 Transportation of equipment and materials within Block 61

4. General Requirements Only BP qualified Companies shall be engaged for transportation activities. All transportation movements within Block 61 will be managed via a central Logistic Control Centre/Field Logistics Control Centre.




Journey Management Plans will be mandatory for all off Block travel. All vehicles & drivers shall be in compliance with BP GDP 3.7 Driving safety. Different colour routes will be applicable for different categories of transport within the Block wherever feasible, ie blue route for personnel, red route for CPF etc. etc.

5. Transportation Routes A workshop to evaluate main access routes was undertaken in June 2012. All available routes were identified and evaluated. The following routes have been selected as preferred option for transportation of both people and materials:

5.1 Main Ports - Duqm and Sohar Ports

Both ports in Duqm and Sohar are expected to be used for material delivery. Below figures show the routes from the two main ports in Oman.

Figure 1 Route from Sohar to Nizwa via Muscat

Figure 2 Route from Duqm port to Qarn Alam




5.2 Route from Nizwa to Block 61

Four different routes between Nizwa and Block 61 were identified and evaluated, and the route from Nizwa to Saih Rawl via Adam and Qarn Alam was selected as preferred route for both people and material. This route provides access from the South by the provision of a new road following ungraded road / track running west off the existing road between Saih Rawl and Mussalim. This option proposes an upgrade to black top (asphaltic) road of the existing graded PDO owned and operated road to Mussalim. This proposal follows the route, of the existing graded road from existing black top highway, for approximately 35km as shown above, from Saih Rawl and then a new road section will be built for the last 20km to access the site. approximately from the south at UTM 2360000N, 470000E and will run north to Mussallim area and will then meet with the 20km new road section before tie in to plant internal road network.

6. Specific Requirements

6.1 Inherent Safety Design

Material drop off and laydown areas shall be located to segregate from in-field traffic, preferably near the Block 61 vehicle check points or in their respective Industrial Park.




Transportation for CPF, GWES and Wells should be physically separated as far as is possible. If it is not possible, any transportation interface will be achieved by coordination by the Field Logistic Centre. People transport/movement and material movement should be separated as far as possible. The locations of camps, offices, industrial parks and material laydown areas shall be carefully selected to minimize road traffic accident risks. Design of transport routes within B61 - getting in, material or people drop-off and getting out….to minimize reversing and to avoid collision potential with other vehicles getting in.

6.2 Logistic Control Centre (LCC) and Field Logistics Control Centre (FLCC)

A dedicated LCC and/or a FLCC shall be established to co-ordinate and manage all Block transportation movements. All journeys outside of the Block shall be endorsed by the LCC/FLCC. All vehicles entering the Block shall come under the management of the LCC/FLCC. All vehicles will be controlled and checked by the LCC/FLCC or an associated Traffic Control Point, which may be combined with a Security Checkpoint.

6.3 Journey Risk Management Procedures (JMP)

Journey Management Procedures shall be in place to safely control all vehicle journeys outside of Block 61. The JMP shall consist of the following as a minimum:-

Driver name and contact details; Vehicle details and No. of passengers; Points of departure and arrival, and route to be taken; Estimated travel time with appropriate rest breaks and locations of rest; Risk assessment and mitigation measures; Emergency response arrangements.

Journey Risk Management Plan shall be approved prior to any movement of vehicle on Khazzan Project.

6.4 Block 61 Vehicle Check Points

At each access point to the Block, a vehicle checkpoint shall be established to check that each vehicle entering the Block is legal, meets the necessary BP driving safety requirements and has an appropriate JMP. This may be at or near The Logistic Holding Area.

A brief field HSE and transportation induction and route colour code map will be issued to the driver clearly identifying the route he has to follow whilst in the Block.
