1 INTRODUCTION
The NGL/LPG Plant at Khor al Zubair (KAZ) produces Propane, Butane and Natural Gasoline, and the
Um Qasr (UQ) Storage Terminal (which comprises Iraq Receiving Terminal (IRT) and Iraq Storage
Terminal (IST)) provides facilities for the refrigeration/cooling and storage of these products.

The Marine Terminal at UQ was constructed in the 1980s for the export of Propane, Butane and
Natural Gasoline supplied from the UQ Storage Terminal. However none of these facilities at UQ were
ever commissioned and they have never operated as originally designed. Instead they have been used
to import pressurised LPG and Gasoline to supplement domestic production and meet domestic
demand.

Currently, the Propane and Butane produced at KAZ are being combined in spheres at KAZ and
pumped as pressurised LPG to the Propane and Slops storage spheres at UQ Storage Terminal.
However, since there currently is insufficient production of LPG to satisfy domestic demand, LPG is
currently also being imported via the South Jetty at the UQ Marine Terminal. The combined pressurised
LPG is then transferred to the Nassariya pumping station and then on to the Iraqi domestic market via
multi-product pipeline. Iraq is also currently not self-sufficient in Gasoline, so Gasoline is imported via
the North jetty at the UQ Marine Terminal and is then distributed via a truck loading system situated
near the Marine Terminal.

The UQ Marine Terminal consists of two main jetties (North jetty berth 1 and South jetty berth 2).
Located approximately 500m south of the two main jetties is a service jetty which provides berthing
space for tugs and other small vessels.

This document is the property of Basrah Gas Company who will safeguard its rights according to the civil and penal provisions of the law.
As part of the Iraq South Gas (ISG) Utilisation Project, it is intended that these facilities at UQ shall be
rehabilitated back to their original design capacity by 2016. During the rehabilitation works, import of
pressurised LPG and Gasoline must be continued to satisfy the domestic market. It is therefore
necessary during the rehabilitation of the North and South jetties at the Marine Terminal to provide
alternative means for the import of LPG and of Gasoline in order to continue to satisfy the domestic
market. The option to modify the existing Service jetty to allow for safe import of pressurised LPG on a
temporary basis has been adopted., with a target milestone of 1 calendar year (365 days) from
rehabilitation contract award.

When improvements are made to Kor Al Zubair (KAZ) and the upstream facilities and the associated oil
fields are further developed, local LPG production is expected to increase gradually. There will therefore
be a point at which production will exceed the domestic market requirements; currently anticipated to be
Q3 2014, when the pressurised LPG operation will switch from import to export. A plan has therefore
been outlined to also modify the service jetty in order to be able to reverse the current mode of operation
for importing pressurised LPG so that instead pressurised LPG can be exported as an interim insurance
mode of operation that can be used if KAZ is capable of producing export volumes of LPG before the
rehabilitation of Um Qasr has been completed.

Some background information on the original design, current operations, future throughput requirements,
and forecast berth utilization rates can be found in report 1000-SGI-U001-GE00-G00000-AA-6480-
00001-000 - Design Requirements for the Rehabilitation of Um Qasr and the Marine Terminal.

The battery limits of the UQ Marine Terminal scope are at the downstream flanges of the main pipeline
isolation valves on the UQ Marine Terminal plot (propane, butane and gasoline export lines) and
upstream flanges for the propane and butane vapour return lines.

Notes:
1. UT (Utilizing continuously data recording) in lieu of RT is preferred for ferretic materials optional < 38mm (1.5 inch), mandatory
38mm (1.5 inch) and thicker. For Austenitic Stainless Steels, this requirement shall only apply when specified or approved by
COMPANY.
2. If more economic, substitute 100% to increase joint efficiency factors.
3. Also inspect 100% after working if worked >5%.
4. 100% wet fluorescent MT is mandatory for carbon steel pressure containment and attachment welds exposed to process in wet
H2S service or Hydrofluoric service.

NOTES:
1. For Tables A, B & C, a blank cell in a column means there is no driver for that column criterion to specify the increased vessel
category. For each column choose a non-blank cell.
2. The highest category from each of the columns becomes the category for that table. See Table A.
3. The heat exchanges specifies in the Table B & C are intended to be in addition to, not in-lieu of, the other columns in the table.
