The pipeline sections will be water filled, hydrostatic tested and dewatered from the temporary test
headers located at the begin and end point of each test section. (Refer to Section 6.4 for details of
hydro test sections).
Permanent Pigging Stations and Block Valve Stations are not included in Test Sections.
The information as detailed in Section 6.4 identifies the quantity, length and volumes of the individual
pipeline sections as well as the minimum and maximum test pressure at the low and high points of each
section to be hydro-tested.
The main water filling points will be at the water wells. It is planned that there will be 2 major filling
points for the pipeline sections with several intermediate filling points along the line. The locations are
shown in the tables in section 4.3.1
The medium utilized to complete the water filling and hydro testing operations will be treated water as
per COMPANY Specification GS COR 560. The required volume of water will be made available from
two water wells along the ROW to be stored in water basins constructed at the same locations.
The re-use of water by transferring water from section to section is minimizing the water abstraction
from water wells and the use of chemicals.
The water quality tests for each water source will indicate which type of chemicals shall be used and the
required concentration in accordance to the Company Specification GS COR 560 (Physical and
chemical treatment of hydrostatic test water)
According to test section length minimum three (3) probes (one at the launcher side, one at the receiver
side and one in middle of that Section) or as practical additional probes in areas with different ground
conditions (Refer to sketch Appendix 15)
The hydrostatic packages shall be submitted to the Company Representative for approval a minimum of
14 days prior to hydro testing.

4.2. Pigs
Bi-Directional Pigs will be used for water filling and dewatering of the test sections. Bi-Directional Pigs
are developed to travel through the length of pipeline in either direction to function for air-free water
filling of test section as well for dewatering the section in reverse direction if required
The steel pig-body is designed to hold two set of replaceable supporting and sealing discs at the front
and the rear end. The outside diameter of the support discs at the front and the rear end is the same as
the inner pipeline. The sealing discs are slightly oversized to ensure a proper seal to the inner pipe wall.
The support and sealing discs are made from Omnithane® polyurethane. The pigs are designed to pass
through 3D Bends and will be located in the test headers exactly between the launching and receiving
valves.
Bi-Directional Pig
Sealing Guiding
4.3. Water Basin Discs Disc
Water basins are constructed in areas with low water abstraction sources and to be filled with water and
hold the quantity of water required for a non-interrupted water filling of test sections.
Also the water basins can be used for de-watering operations.
The deciding factors for the size and holding capacity of the basin are:
o primal the demand of water required to fill the sections
o the expected hourly water intake from the water well and the hourly water abstraction by the water
pumping into the line
o evaporation of water
CTR has applied for the extra land for construction of water basins.

Note: The extra land request is including the location for water drilling and hydro-test platform.
The filling material for the inner ground layer of the basin will be dessert sand from a dedicated area.
The expected high temperature differences during day & night cause expanding and stretching of the
Geo-membrane. Strong winds may cause the welding of geo-membrane to stop. Therefore construction
work for welding the Geo-membrane may require late night work. Night work permits will be obtained and
work carried out in accordance to the requirements of the permit.
Safety barriers or berms are to be installed to prevent unauthorized personnel or animals entering the
water basin.
Only authorized personnel are permitted to enter the water basin area.
Bulwark ladders or/and rescue ropes along the inner berms of the bund wall are in place for personnel to
escape from the water basin.
Electrically submersible pumps or other adequate equipment are used for water abstraction from the
water basin and transfer to the pumping platform.
Below is a brief description for the handling of Geo-membrane Material. For more detailed
information including transport and storage please read the Manufacturers Instructional Manual and
recommendations as well the Method Statement of Welding of Geo-membrane
The total inner surface of the water basin is sealed welded with “Junifol HDPE Geo-membrane”
material laid out on the sub-soil from crest to crest of the surrounding bund walls.
Protective covering geo-textile layers underneath and on top the Geo-membrane is protecting
against damage.
The Welding-Technician is supervising the work and introduce the procedure of work and also is
training personnel as the work is progressing. The safety instructions and work instructions of the
Technician is strictly to be adhered to.
Before welding the Geo-membrane stripes a test weld is carried out to adjust and learn the settingsof
the welding machine at the local conditions.
A periodically control of the quality of the welded seams is assuring the seal ness of the Geo-
membrane sealing.

The 1st water basin is located at KP 317+000. The 2nd water basin is located at KP 126+470.
The hydro-geological survey for under ground water sources has located water sources in this
area. The field data of the survey will be analysed for the most suitable water drilling location.
Consideration will be paid to the suitability of water basin construction and building hydro
testing platform as well as to the social impact at this region
ZONE 1 317+000 80 m x 100 m x 3.50m 25,000m3 Water Well & Filling Location
ZONE 2 126+470 *) 150 m x 150 m x 2.50m 45,000m3 Water Well & Filling Location
*) Final Water Basin dimensions and location in Zone 2 area is depending on the result of the ground water
survey in this area and the actual delivery of the water well after completion of drilling.
The water filling of the test section requires a large quantity of water at various locations.
The optional sea water supply from the near-by shore at Bal Haf is not feasible as it will interfere with
the ongoing construction and road work activities of the Bal Haf.
Since there are no adequate water sources such as Rivers, Lakes, or Water Mains available, Water
Wells will be drilled at selected areas for water abstraction.
In areas unsure of under ground water resources the desired location is hydro geological surveyed to
assess the prospects of successful water abstraction.
Authorization is obtained for the hydro-geological survey at the desired locations.

At the intermediate pumping stations, water samples will be taken for monitoring of residual biocide
levels as well as dissolved oxygen to maintain the level of concentration.
The water in front and between the pigs will not be chemically treated.
The filling water is chemically treated with the appropriate dosage of chemical inhibitor/scavenger on
independent recommendation to prevent corrosion and kill all bacteria in the pipeline.
5.2. Chemicals
The water filled into the pipeline systems shall be chemically treated with Biocide -where applicable- to
act against bacteria and anaerobic bacteria’s and oxygen scavenger (For MSDS refer to Appendix 12) to
limiting the oxygen within the filling water prior to injection into the individual pipeline sections. (Chemical
treatment of filling water will be in accordance to GS COR 560 Specifications)
Based on the water analysis result (for lab-analyse see appendix 21) and the duration of fill water
remaining in the test section the following CHAMPION Chemical Products (see appendix 20) will be
used to make the water non-corrosive with the lowest possible environmental impact:
The use of Biocide B1710 and Oxygen Scavenger OS2 at the stated concentrations i.e. 180 PPM and
120 PPM will provide effective biocide and oxygen scavenging performances to treat water with high
salt content and protect the pipe from corrosion and bio contamination.

Biocide B1710
When dosed at 180ppm will complete a Log 8 bacterial/ml 100% kill in 6 hours. Tests were carried
out at 25°C on bacteria levels at 1.5 to 2 orders of magnitude greater than that of seawater.
In-Field Analysis
Periodically monitoring of the chemical injection rates and the in-field analysis of chemical level of the
filling water will be used to correct the concentration if required.
The water in front and between the pigs is not chemically treated. If subsequent test sections are
ready, this water will be inserted ahead of the fill pigs. If subsequent test sections are not
ready/complete, untreated water will be suitable disposed of along ROW.
Especially care is to be taken during the water discharge with chemical concentrations for
environmental friendly disposal.
▪ The Oxygen Scavenger OS2 can be disregarded as contributing to the environmental
evaluation which leaves the Biocide B1710 as the influencing factor.
▪ The product Biocide B1710 is deactivated within a considerable short time period and is fully
biodegradable.
The OCNS (Offshore Chemical Notification Scheme) has carried out Hazard Assessments on
chemical products in which Chemicals are ranked by Hazard Quotients (HQ).
The products Biocide B1710 and Oxygen Scavenger OS2 are ranking in Lowest Hazard with a HQ of
>0 and <1 in a scale of ≥1000.

The extra dosing of the oxygenation agent is accelerating the process of degrading the Biocide within
1 – 15 minutes much depending on the PH value and water temperature.
To accelerate the re-oxygenation process compressed air will be injected via a 4 inch pipe with 2mm
holes on the bottom of the breaktank. More specific field data’s may significant reduces the contact
time. A high PH value and water temperature at 20°C will reduce the deactivation time close to 1
minute.
The Hydrogen Peroxide is low toxicity and fully consumed in reaction with B1710.
For MSDS of Hydrogen Peroxide refer to Appendix 12
To determine Bactron 1710 residuals in the discharge water field analyzer kit will be used. (See

The Sectioning of the pipeline is based on the present available data’s for the line length, profile, line pipe
wall thickness location classes and design factors. It also depends on proposed water sources and water
storage basins. Final limits of the test sections will be based on the As Built data.
The 38” Main Gas Line is divided into twenty-eight (28) test sections excluding the Pig Launcher and
Receiver Facilities at the KPU and the Bal Haf Plant and the 10 nos. of Block Valve Stations.
The Launcher and Receiver Facilities at the KPU and at Bal Haf will be tested separately incorporating
the Anchor Blocks in these tests. The exact test limits will be defined at later stage.
The ten (10) Block valve stations will be tested separately under separate testing specification.
The 30” Transfer Line will be tested in one (1) section excluding the Pig Launcher and Receiver Facilities
at the CPU and the KPU
The Launcher and Receiver Facilities at the CPU and the KPU will be tested separately with the Anchor

The only water abstraction location for ‘Zone 1’ test sections is KP 317+000. The quantity of water
which is required for water filling of TS 26a to TS 17 is abstracted from water well. A water basin with
3 3
20,000m storage water is used to maintain a continuous water filling rate of 200m per hour. The
necessity for chemically treatment of pipeline fill water will be determinate on result of the water analysis
taken from the water well used for water filling of the pipeline.
The test sections from TS 26a to TS 20 will be filled with chemically treated water from the water basin
and water well at KP 317+000. These test sections will be filled and tested in two steps. In between the
two steps the basin at KP 317+000 will be re-filled with water.
After completions of the hydrostatic testing on sections TS 26a to TS 20, the section volumes will be left
into pipeline at static pressure + 1 bar ( at highest point ) until condition for dewatering are ready to
start.
The filling of Sections 19-18-17 will be filled through by-passing water from water basin at KP 317
throughout all tested sections.
No chemical treatment is required for the volume of water in front and between the pigs. This water is
transferred from section to section for disposal at the final receiving end.
Water disposal locations are at KP 265+215 for partially section water discharge, KP204+200 for
discharge of the accumulated water in front and between the pigs and KP 231+555 for the main water
discharge.

Should a considerable pressure drop that cannot be attributed to thermal change occur during
testing, Contractor shall seek the cause. No leaks shall be repaired until the test pressure is
reduced to safe pressure and or dewatered prior to repairs. Any leak shall be observed as well
the location, type of leak and volume shall be recorded. The Test Engineer shall inform
Companies Representative.
If repair of leak require change of parts of the tested section parts shall be marked, Companies
Representative will be informed whether that subjected section can be isolated and repaired or
test section is undertaken for dewatering. Any faulty section shall be repaired/replaced and test
section to be re-tested again following above procedure.
The test acceptance and evaluation shall be based on the equation in Para. 8.3.4 to 8.3.7. The
test shall be considered satisfactory when pressure variation can be attributed to change in
temperature using the equation in Para 8.3.7 “Evaluation” as acceptance criteria to make
allowances for movements of pipe, for measuring inaccuracies. The volume change calculation
over the time period is based on the actual volume measured for increasing one bar pressure at
the test pressure.
Also consideration shall be given to the characteristics of the test section i.e. the exposed
pipeline length in comparison to the overall length of section. In any case of doubt in
interpretation of the evaluation of the test, test shall continue till such period the test is
evaluated to the satisfaction of the Test Engineer and Company Representative.
For test acceptance calculations please refer to Appendix 6, for the required Factor A
(pressure) and Factor B (temperature) refer to Appendix 7 and 8.
8.2.9. Depressurization
Upon acceptance of the test, the test section will be depressurized as follows:
The location for water discharge during the depressurization is in an agreed location a carried
out in an environmental acceptable manner to avoid erosion. The method of dewatering is also
depending on the local area and will be agreed on a case by case basis. If possible discharge
water can also be discharged in the previous test section, or via special designed breaktank
with airation pipe.
Connect high pressure pipe work to valve L1 on the temporary test head in order to
depressurize the test section. Slowly open valve L1 regulating the water discharge through the
valve to achieve the required depressurization rate.
Depressurization Rate:
- 100% to 90% test pressure 1 bar per minute
- 90% to 50% test pressure 3 bar per minute
- Continue in a controlled manner to shut in at a pressure equivalent to not less than 1bar at
the high point of the section.

For Multiple dewatering sections are connected with steel pipe work for water transfer. Preparation for
dewatering on multiple sections has to consider the limited compressor capacities by static head
pressure due to pipeline elevation. The installation of extra pumping station may become necessary for
water transfer to overcome the excessive elevations.
Installation of pressure recording devices and pressure gauges allow for instant pressure read outs for
pressure regulation.
The bulk de-watering will be commence by launching a 3rd pig (pre-loaded) dewatering pig by
dewatering in same direction as the water filling or by returning the bi-directional pigs previously used
for water filling of the hydro test Section. Back pressure will be held at the receiving ends to ensure a
controlled pigging operation and to avoid an uncontrolled down hill moving of the pig.
The test Section(s) to be bulk de-watered will be completed and in a state of readiness for
these operations.
Multiple dewatering sections to be connected with adequate steel pipe work for water transfer
from section to section with by-passes installed to launching of pigs for the following section.
Installation of intermediate pumping stations for water will be used to transfer the water if
necessary.
A chart pressure recorder and gauge will be incorporated into the system, via valve
connections. This will allow instant pressure read out, and supply a full pressure record of the
dewatering operation. A new pressure chart will be used for each individual pigging run.
Air compressors will be connected to the inlet valve on the launching test head and the
appropriate valve opened in readiness to commence the dewatering operation.
No pig will be run with a back pressure less than the required pressures for relevant Sections
according to elevation plan. Control of the back pressure will be undertaken by valve operation
at the receiving test head location Intersection or pipeline end termination point.
Prior to any discharge of air from the compressor, the compressor will be started and allowed to
warm up for a minimum period of 5 minutes with its discharge valve in closed position.
At the receiving test head, a gauge will be incorporated into the system via valve connection.
Prior to launching of any pig, radio communications will be established and maintained between
the pig launch location/receipt locations.
Incorporated intermediate pumping station for water transfer in excessive elevation are fitted
with Pressure gauges at the water incoming section to ensure a positive pressure in the water
feed line to the pumps at all time.
All valve positions will be in references to the Drawings which can be found in Appendix 13.
All valves shall be positioned references to the Drawings which can be found in Appendix 13.
