1.0 OBJECTIVE

This document states the Quality requirements for CONTRACTORS engaged in

providing goods and services to QGPC on Projects and related work activity. The
custodian of this document is QAC which is a division within the QGPC Quality
Assurance Department. Queries concerning the interpretation or use of this document
should be directed to the appropriate Project Manager .

2.0 SCOPE

The requirements of this document applies to STC, LTC and GTC contracts, covering
the FEED and EPIC phases of Projects executed to enhance or exploit the recovery of
oil and gas reserves, or their derivatives. CONTRACTORS employed by QGPC to
provide Project goods and services shall therefore address the issue of: the “Quality of
the goods and services provided,” which shall be appropriate to their scope of supply
and the requirements of the particular Project Phase.
The following Table 01 demonstrates the expected application of this documents
requirements, additionally if considered appropriate particular areas of the document
can be applied to Service Orders or Plant Changes.

3.0 ORGANISATIONAL DESCRIPTION

Projects are executed through the combined effort of QGPC and CONTRACTORS
Project Management Teams. As each CONTRACTOR is responsible for the Quality
of the products and services provided under its Contractual Terms, a description of
how these Quality requirements will be achieved for each Project Stage: i.e. TENDER,
FEED, EPIC, shall be clearly specified in the CONTRACTORS submission as
specified here. Post Tender stage and subsequent contract award will require a detailed
schedule of precise requirements which are also laid out in this document.

To aid clarity an organisational chart showing a typical QGPC-CONTRACTOR

organisation and the various interfaces of the Quality groups is displayed in Fig 01.
This is followed by a description of the Quality requirement relative to a typical
Project Activity sequence.

Note: All documents handed over to QGPC shall firstly be accepted by

CONTRACTOR/S concerned. Documents not clearly legible or reproducible will not
be accepted. The acceptance of equipment may be withheld by QGPC, where reports
have not been presented for acceptance.

CONTRACTOR shall clearly instruct SUB-CONTRACTORS that data report shall be

compiled as production is progressing and is subject to review by CONTRACTOR
and QGPC at any stage during the manufacture of an item. CONTRACTOR shall also
ensure that at the time of their acceptance or witnessing of tests of any equipment,
parts, materials and units: that the SUB-CONTRACTORS data reports, are complete

11.2 COMMISSIONING AND HAND OVER

CONTRACTOR shall develop procedures for this Project Phase by evaluating the
requirements for commissioning and hand over as defined by Contract, see (Appendix
04 sample only: Mechanical Completion Sheets). These procedures shall be
developed taking into account the issues noted below and the precise terms and
conditions of the Contract including applicable specifications:

• evaluate punchlist and test documentation to determine status,

• clear outstanding items required for functional testing,
• carry out detailed functional testing on plant/equipment,
• raise additional punchlist/modification as required,
• complete finalise documentation,
• carry out additional testing as required,
• handover as determined by Contract,
• warranty spares ongoing servicing technical assistance determined as per Contract.

11.3 OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS

CONTRACTOR shall describe in a procedure the control receipt, checking and

submission of operating and maintenance instructions if applicable or required by
Contract. (Refer to Appendix 3 Essential Project Documentation).

EXAMPLE OF A CRITICALITY RATING SCHEME

INTRODUCTION

Criticality Evaluation is a formalised technique for assessing the importance of an installation

or piece of equipment with respect to is design, manufacture/ construction and installation and
the consequences of failure during use.

The Criticality Evaluation can be used to control the allocation of quality resources by
minimising the over-specification, cross-checking, review and inspection on those items
which are judged to be less critical and increasing these activities on the critical items.

A typical model of a Criticality Evaluation is given overleaf. However this scheme is not
intended to be compulsory. Should the CONTRACTOR or SUB-CONTRACTOR already
DOC. NO.: QSP-QAC-09 Page 23 of 39
 QUALITY REQUIREMENT

have an established system in place or wish to propose an alternative system, they can submit
the details to the Q.G.P.C Project Manager for evaluation .

EVALUATION GUIDELINES

Criticality Evaluations shall normally be determined at an assessment meeting attended by all

specialist technical staff concerned with the discipline or disciplines involved with the
installation or equipment. Points are awarded against a Criticality Category which are
weighed against the following items:

• Design Maturity - This considers the availability of established design information . What
percentage is already known and proven from tests or experience with similar equipment .
The commercial availability and the capabilities of PROSPECTIVE SUB-
CONTRACTORS should also be considered.
• Design complexity - The difficulty of completing the design, the number of man hours that
are needed, the amount of specialist input involved, how much interface there has to be
between disciplines and whether any literature surveys / research will be required, should
all be reviewed.
• Fluid characteristics - This is self explanatory.
• Safety - Both product and service safety need to be considered in terms of the probability
of failure occurring and the consequences of that failure. The safety impact of failure has to
be considered both for operating personnel and the public. This criterion will usually be
subject to separate SAFOP and HAZOP studies.
• Environmental Impact - Again self explanatory and again will usually be subject to
separate studies.
• Manufacturing Complexity - This considers the difficulty of manufacture, the number of
different and possibly specialised processes involved, the number and co ordination of
disciplines required and the verification of each stage during manufacture.
• Economics - This is tied in with safety and environmental considerations but specifically
addresses the difficulties that would be created and the loss of revenue that would occur in
the event of the plant or item of equipment being unavailable due to failure or unplanned
repairs.
• Construction / Installation - Considers the difficulty of installation of equipment including
any special lifting and movement requirements and the disruption to operations that would
be caused if there was a need to shut down existing processes to allow installation.
• The foregoing list is not comprehensive and is provided as an example. Once the
allocation of points is awarded then the Criticality Category can be chosen (see page 4 &
5).

NOTE: Various companies operate schemes based on Criticality Detailed guidelines are
available for most Institutions that issue Standards e.g. (CSA).
