1. INTRODUCTION
The South Ghawar field consists of 3 main areas namely Uthmaniyah, Hawiyah,
and Haradh. The Haradh area is on the southmost part of the field while
Uthmaniyah lies on the north. In between the two areas lie the Hawiyah area. The
facilities in the South Ghawar Producing Department are comprised of 14 Gas Oil
Separation Plants (GOSP), each having wet crude handling (WCH) facilities and
gas gathering (GG) facilities
The Wet Crude Handling section consists of two HPPTs, a single LPPT, Charge
pumps, dehydrator, desalter, crude booster & shipper pumps to ship crude oil to
oil pipeline network. HPTT is used for well testing. A multiphase Flowmeter is
provided in parallel to HPTT as an alternate well testing equipment
Gas gathering (GG) has two HPPT compressors that are used to compress HPPT
gas and gas from LP compressor to transfer it to the gas network. A single LP
compressor is used to compress the LP gas to HP gas compressor suction
pressure
Produced water from the two HPPTs, dehydrator and desalter is routed to Water
Oil Separator (WOSEP) where oil traces are removed from the formation water
and then high-pressure injection pumps are used for downhole injection for
reservoir pressure management
Demulsifier is injected at the production header for tackling any tight emulsion and
to enhance free water knock out from the HPPTs. An emergency demulsifier
injection point is also provided upstream of the dehydrator to help tackle tight
emulsion. Corrosion and scale inhibitors chemicals are also injected at production
header and gas to tie-line for corrosion and scale inhibition
Although the above is a description of a typical SGPD GOSP configuration, there

are certain minor variations to this arrangement. UGOSP-10 and UGOSP-11 have
two production headers, two HPPTs, and two LPPTs with ISSUED FOR CONSTRUCTION
dedicated charge
19-Mar-2023
pumps. While HdGOSP-3 has a single HPPT as opposed to two HPPTs in other
SGPD GOSPs
Haradh GOSP-3 is currently designed for 300 MBCD at 30% water cut. It has been
forecasted that there will be an increase in production rate within Haradh GOSP-3
up to 420 MBCD starting from 2026. it is therefore necessary to develop extra
processing capacity to accommodate the increase in the production
1.1. PROJECT OBJECTIVES
The objective of this project (BI-10-16921) is to provide facilities required to deliver

and process additional 120 MBCD of crude production from HARADH GOSP-3
area of the South Ghawar field. Oil production from HRDH GOSP-3 area is
planned to be increased above the GOSP oil handling facility. The increase in
production will be sustained for 14 years with a maximum oil rate of 420 MBCD
1.1.1 EXPANSION AREA DESCRIPTION
New areas for expansion of this project is towards Western & Northern side of the
existing GOSP. For details, refer detail drawings and approved LUPs
For Topographic, Geotechnical, Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) and Traffic

study reports, refer to subcontractor document 4E-CV5097, 4E-CV5096, 4E-
CV5006, and 4E-CV5007 respectively
1.1.2 LOCATION OF PROPOSED FACILITIES (EXPANSION AREA)
Haradh is in the Eastern region of the Saudi Arabia and approximately 300km
northeast of Dhahran. The proposed expansion facility will be located in Haradh
GOSP-3. The entire LUP coordinates will be provided to the contractor
The expansion area is accessible through the existing roads which will provide
access during all phases of the project

General
3.4.5.1 This section describes the test procedures to be carried out before and

in the building. It is mandatory that the CONTRACTOR should have
FOC Splicers that are certified by Saudi Aramco
3.4.5.2 Tests on system design features such as network configurations, traffic

loading and network management functions are carried out by
equipment manufacturers and are outside the scope of this document
3.4.6 Test Methodology
Attenuation
3.4.6.1 An optical fibre can be characterized by the parameters that limit its
performance as a communication medium. Fibre attenuation or loss is
one of the main performance limitations. Attenuation is defined as one
way drops in power level between any two points chosen along the fibre.
It is an important consideration in the system design since attenuation
plays a major role in determining the maximum transmission distance
between a transmitter and receiver. Typical single mode G.652D fibres
have an attenuation coefficient around (db/km)ISSUED FOR CONSTRUCTION
@1310/1550nm,
<0.38/<0.25 19-Mar-2023
3.4.6.2 Fibre has three basic loss mechanisms: scattering, absorption and
radiation losses
3.4.6.3 Scattering is the process by which light is redirected in all directions

upon incidence on imperfections (defects and impurities) within the fibre
matrix. Loss occurs because light is no longer traveling in one direction.
Imperfections, such as non-uniform density and composition, are
inherent in the manufacturing process and the related scattering (called

Rayleigh scattering) represents the lower limit of attenuation in the fibre.

Scattering is a strong function of a wavelength; it is inversely
proportional to the fourth power of the wavelength
3.4.6.4 Absorption is the phenomenon by which fibre constituents (mainly

impurities) absorb light and dissipate heat. Absorption is wavelength
dependent, and in silica-based fibre high absorption is found at 950nm,
1250nm, and 1380nm
3.4.6.5 Radiation losses are the third loss mechanism. These losses are caused
by perturbations in the fibre geometry, both at microscopic and
macroscopic level. These phenomena are referred to as micro bending
and macro-bending
3.4.6.6 Micro-bending loss is results from small bumps at the core-cladding

interface that cause higher modes of optical energy to reflect at angles
that do not allow total internal reflection for the light propagation. Macro-
bending loss is due to bends in the fiber that are large relative to the
fibre diameter. Macro bending is more sensitive to longer wavelengths
