1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 General
Muscat Engineering Consultancy LLC (hereafter referred to as MEC) has been awarded with
“CCED-WI-2021-007 - FEED Block 3 and 4 Gas to Power Project”. This specification
describes the requirements for design, technical documentation, procurement, fabrication,
assembly, inspection, testing, packing and delivery of a Telcom systems which includes FOC
cabling and IT structured cabling for both block 3 and 4 new control building respectively.
Vendor shall ensure that the design complies with the requirements of this specification and
its referenced specifications / standards. In case of any non-compliance, the vendor shall
highlight the same at the tender stage. If there are no deviations listed in the proposal, then
the bid will be considered to comply with all the aspects of this specification. No deviation
from this specification will be allowed unless highlighted in the offer and specifically agreed
to by the purchaser prior to award of contract.
Any work shown on the reference drawings or documents but not explicitly mentioned in this
specification or vice-versa, shall be included in the Telecom vendor scope. The omission from
this specification of any items essential for the correct functioning of any part of the specified
equipment shall be brought to the attention of the Purchaser.
1.2 Project Background
CCED is the Operator of Blocks 3 & 4 situated in the south-eastern belt in Oman and covers
an area of approximately 29,000 square kilometres. Currently, there are treatment facilities
for produced fluids at FARHA, SAIWAN, SHB and SHF and ULFA facilities. Separated oil
from all the other stations transported to SAIWAN storage facilities. From SAIWAN, crude is
transported to CCED’s custody metering at Qarn Alam via an 83 km 16” oil pipeline and then
to the PDO Main Pipeline System.
Currently, fuel gas used to fire heater treaters at all stations, but the majority of associated
gas is flared. Power generation in the field provided via diesel generator sets. The ULFA
facility produces and flares most of the gas in these Blocks. CCED recognizes the opportunity
to create value through the utilization of this associated gas. Within project early stage design
and concept selected project will proceed with two power plant and associated OHL power
distribution one for block-3 and the other one for block-4. The power plant for block-3 located
at the vicinity of ULFA station and for block-4 adjacent to existing SHB EPF. Fuel gas for
power plant supplied from associated gas collected in each EPF. Generated power distributed
to the consumers via 33kV OHL based on concrete poles.
