Case History The Operations Team for Customer have a requirement to place temporary isolations on an 18 spool piece on K-3110 1 st stage compressor pipe work and a vertical 12 spool on 1 discharge Header to create a double barrier for construction work. The spool pieces are located on the compressor mezzanine and level 2 mezzanine decks. 1 st Stage compressor Suction Scrubber 18 Pipe work showing spool piece Short Method Overview 1. valves V31079 and V31080 2.

Objectives: To safely inject IS compound into designated spool pieces to create a temporary Mechanical barrier for future maintenance projects to take place. 1 Discharge Header and Short Method Overview: 1. Connect the deployment manifold to the ¾ tap flange double block & leed valves 2. test with product against closed valves. 3. Close lower Valve V31103 4. Open upper valve 10% V31104 5. Mix and deploy 120litres of IS (Standard formula) 6. Close the upper valve V31104 7. Leave a sample to gauge curing time and seal structure. 8. llow sealant allotted time to cure 9. Once isolation in place Talisman procedure for integrity test. Page 2
Scope of Operations The task for KCI will be to establish an isolation by pumping IS into the spool pieces between V31079 and V31080 through ¾ drain valve VL31083. The 1 discharge Header V31103 and V31104 through ¾ double isolation valves VL31005 and VL31006. The IS will be pumped into the spool piece using KCI barrel pumps. It will be pumped in dry due to the gas pipeline. balanced pressure will need to be achieved during pumping operations and during IS curing time (subject to sample taken). The IS will be prepared in 60 litre batches due to the potential wastage if operations stop due to unplanned equipment problems and to reduce the likelihood of contamination of the base product. When deployed the IS will build up and fill the cavity to eventually cure to a solid flexible isolation. Once 120 and 330 litres respectively of IS has been deployed and the IS has started to cure, a balanced pressure has to be maintained throughout the curing process. It would take approximately 3 to 4 hrs and 7 to 8 hrs to deploy the IS into the separate spool pieces. Contingency Operations In the event that the first application has not rectified the leak completely or filled the spool Piece completely an additional amount of IS can be added and pumped into the spool to boost the initial application. The additional IS Will bond with the original application to Improve and add to its sealing capabilities. reaker Contingency Operations Further breaker solution can be added at P3105 if it is deemed necessary to aid the flow from the suction scrubber. Flushing Operations The pumps and the hose lines will be flushed with potable water after each application to keep the system in good order. The flushing and discharge must be put through to closed drains or pumped into an environmental receptacle. Page 3
