Procedure
1 GENERAL
1.1 PURPOSE
The purpose of this procedure is to ensure that Qatargas Operating Company Ltd. (OPCO)
production facilities located Onshore; Coastal & Offshore are painted / lined with
anticorrosive coatings for protection against corrosion and ensure their ability to fulfill
designed functions in Marine, Chemical and Industrial environment.
A simplified definition of maintenance coating is “refurbishment of existing coating system
by recoating and/or reinstating the existing coated surface partially or fully to mitigate
corrosion and/or to maintain appearance.”
Depending on the performance of installed coating systems during the definite lifetime,
fabric maintenance will be required. Based on extent of breakdown, existing coating system
may need to be reinstalled.
The basic purposes of maintenance coating refurbishment program are to:
Prevent significant degradation of coating system
Prevent significant loss of metal to maintain facility integrity
Maintain aesthetic or the appearance of structures exposed to public view
Identify by colour code
Minimize future repair costs
1.2 SCOPE
This protective coating procedure describes the minimum technical requirements to meet
with regards to selection of coating systems, coating materials, surface preparations,
application methods, inspection and testing of applied coatings on piping, equipment &
structures to provide protection against atmospheric and marine corrosion, abrasion and
impacts for maintenance painting of Qatargas facilities.
This painting procedure shall also be applicable to facilities which are covered externally with
thermal insulation & fireproofing materials and internally with linings.
1.3 CRITICALITY
This Procedure has been determined to be a Low Criticality document.

Procedure
Co-operate and liaise closely with Maintenance support services representatives from
Contractor, sub-contractors and suppliers for all ongoing and new Coating application
activities.
Extend necessary support for field trials and selection of new products/techniques in
coordination with vendors.
To ensure that implemented coating repairs are safe and correct for mitigation of
corrosion and to maintain asset integrity in most cost effective manner.
To guide Coating Inspectors on establishing correct priorities for paint repairs in line
with Corrosion Engineering recommendations.
To follow-up with WSS and Asset owners for timely implementation of Coating Repair
Notifications/ work orders within designated timelines as per LACD and priorities.
Conduct audits for contractors to make sure that planning, execution and monitoring
of painting activities are carried out in accordance with approved company
procedures and specifications.

Procedure
9.1 GENERAL
Surface Preparations and Painting shall be commenced only after completion of all
mechanical Inspections and recommended Mechanical / Civil Repair activities.
Unless otherwise specified, method of surface preparation shall be abrasive blast cleaning.
Hand or power tool cleaning (St2/St3) and other methods to be used at the discretion of QG
Corrosion Engineering to provide key roughness.
Contractor to Follow Blasting Painting Quality Control Inspection Check List given in Clause
12.0 of this procedure.
All the adjoining areas of piping, equipment, instrumentation, etc. to be adequately
protected to avoid either direct (over blast) damage or indirect damage by dust
accumulation / contamination (equipment / instrumentation).
All the work released for coating repairs shall be inspected jointly with QG maintenance
painting team, coating inspector and contractor to verify the location, extent of corrosion,
corrosion mode as per the GVI reporting line items. Upon verification all the necessary
actions can be initiated.
All the stages of GVI report line items’ refurbishment shall be recorded by coating inspector
in Asset-GVI report compilation to track the stage wise progress of the refurbishment
activity.
Weld spatter, Sharp edges, Burrs or any other mechanical/welding defects shall be removed
by mechanical grinding before surface preparation prior to application of recommended
coating system. Sharp edges should be ground to minimum radius of 2 mm or as per the
Company requirements to ensure adequate thickness on the edges.
Contaminations like Oil, Grease, dirt, dust, Soluble Salts, Chemical deposits, Weld smokes
and likes shall be removed before blasting and between coats by biodegradable degreaser
and pressure water washing methods.
Degreasing with solvent cleaning to be carried as per SSPC SP1 at the discretion of
Company coating inspector, this should be applicable to limited areas in order to keep
solvent vapors exposure to minimum during cleaning
All types of surfaces shall be pressure washed with potable water (chloride <25 PPM) prior to
recommended surface preparation. Water washing shall be applicable before application of
each subsequent coats in painting system for immersed and cyclic conditions. For
atmospheric exposure service, water washing is applicable before application of subsequent
coats at the discretion of Qatargas coating inspector.
Stainless steel surfaces and other special alloy materials shall not be treated with metallic
abrasives, carbon steel tools, or any tools previously used on carbon steel.
Sweep blast cleaning shall be carried out by using low pressure (approx. 40-50 psi) and fine

Procedure
Soluble salts content shall be checked for presence on surface after surface preparation prior
to coating for all buried/ soil side, immersion, cyclic services and all stainless steel & non-
ferrous substrates. Representative testing shall be carried out over the surface at the
locations identified by QG coating inspector.
Other than above requirements, additionally at the discretion of QG coating inspector
soluble salts content test shall be performed to confirm salt density on
Surfaces subjected to atmospheric exposure.
Painted surfaces between the coats.
Surfaces prior to surface preparation.
The Soluble Salt Contaminations test shall be witnessed by QG – Coating inspector as per
agreed Inspection Test Plan - ITP and test results shall be reviewed and released for next
stage of blasting / painting.
Salt density on the surfaces prepared for coating application must be within acceptance
limits, any surface not meeting the requirements in this clause shall be subjected to
repetition of entire sequence to meet all the requirements of cleanliness.
