1.0 INTRODUCTION

This prequalification procedure and attached documents are presented by Kuwait

National Petroleum Company (“KNPC” or “Owner”), for the purpose of establishing a

list (“Qualified Bidders List” or “QBL”) of qualified Engineering, Procurement and

Construction Contractors (“CONTRACTOR”) for the KNPC 5th GAS TRAIN Project

(“Project”) to be constructed in the State of Kuwait.

This project is to cater for associated gas and condensate from KOC gathering

centers at South East Kuwait (SEK), and north Kuwait (NK) oil fields. In addition,

existing refinery gases from SHU AGRP and MAA AGRP are also supplied to the GT5

facilities. Current/Future non-associated gas from the Jurassic and Dorra gas fields

are also considered in the design cases.

Submission of the required prequalification information by the CONTRACTOR shall in

no way bind the Owner to invite any of the CONTRACTOR submitting qualifications to

enter into any contract and shall also not bind the Owner to make any financial

commitment in connection with any individual projects within the overall Project.

The information contained in this document and attachments is strictly confidential

and all companies submitting for qualification are required NOT to divulge the

contents to any third party.

The Owner, likewise, shall treat information submitted by the CONTRACTOR as

strictly confidential and will not make it available to any third party except to its

Partners and/or Consultants where the Owner deems it appropriate and applicable.

selection criteria which is solely determined by Owner and shall be applied equally to

all CONTRACTORs responding to this letter. Final selection of contractors to be on

the QBL will be approved by Owner and shall be solely at Owners discretion.

Bid Basis: The EPC Package will be tendered on Lump Sum Turnkey basis and will

be issued by the Kuwait Central Tendering Committee (CTC).

2.0 OVERVIEW

2.1 KNPC currently owns and operates three refineries in the State of Kuwait; Mina Al Ahmadi (MAA), Mina Abdullah (MAB), and Shuaiba (SHU) Refineries, all located along the coastal zone south of Kuwait city, and within approximately 10 kilometers distance apart overall.

2.1.1 The Fifth Gas Train Project at MAA Refinery is designed to process associated gas and condensate from KOC gathering centres at South East Kuwait (SEK), and North Kuwait (NK) oil fields. In addition, existing refinery gases from SHU AGRP and MAA AGRP are also supplied to the GT5 facilities. Current / future non-associated gas from the Jurassic and Dorra gas fields are also considered in the design cases.

2.1.2 GT5 will have a design capacity of 805MMSCFD gas and 106.3MBPD external condensate, in addition to the condensate produced in the NGL recovery section of the process. Product recoveries should be at least 75% Ethane, 97% Propane and 99% Butane.

2.1.3 GT5 shall be located at the south of GT4. Inside Battery Limit (ISBL) design of GT5 containing the main process units is to be a replica of the Fourth Gas Train (GT4) design; Outside Battery Limit (OSBL) design shall be based on the FEED developed by M/s AMEC.

2.1.4 Under OSBL of GT5, a Fuel Gas Treatment Unit (FGTU) with maximum operating capacity of 94MMSCFD is included to provide treated fuel gas for both GT5 and GT4. Amine solution (45wt% MDEA) is used to remove H2S in fuel gas.

A Sour Water Stripping Unit (SWSU) is provided to strip out H2S in sour water. The stripped H2S gas is sent to existing / future SRUs along with H2S from FGTU.

A Demineralised Water Plant is also provided to produce Demin water and Boiler Feed Water (BFW) for GT5.

The above OSBL units will be located adjacent to and south of the ISBL units inside GT5 block.

2.1.5 Under Utilities, GT5 shall be provided with a flare system for pressure relief and depressurizing. The flare will have an acid gas flare line flowing independently to the GT5 flare stack and a separate flare tip for this stream.



Page 6

Other utilities to support the GT5 includes de-aerator, boiler feed water pumps, boiler feed water dosing system, HP and LP steam system, sea water cooling, closed cooling water system, closed cooling water chemical dosing, instrument and plant air system, nitrogen system, effluent system, waste water sump and pumps.

The GT5 DCS controls will be executed from Gas Plant Central Control Room (GPCCR). A fire alarm and protection system will also be provided for the GT5. It will be integrated with existing system at the GPCCR and Fire Station. There will be Fire Siren / Public address system in the plant area and in all buildings.

Electrical, Instrumentation, Civil & Structural works and Tie-ins with the existing facilities shall also be required for GT5.

2.1.6 Mixed phase feed gases received from KOC are separated in feed separator, compressed (by gas compressors driven by gas turbines) and cooled before routing to dehydration section. In dehydration section, moisture is removed. Traces of mercury is removed in mercury guard bed.

Natural Gas Liquid (NGL) is recovered from the feed gas which involves expansion of the gas through turbo-expander followed by distillation in a De-methaniser column.

The gas exiting De-methaniser column is cooled, compressed and then routed to ethane recovery unit (ERU) / fuel gas system.

The recovered NGL stream, condensate stripper bottom and LPG processed through a fractionation train consisting of three distillation columns in series: a De-ethaniser, De-propaniser and De-butaniser. The overhead product from De-ethaniser is Ethane (C2) and the bottom is fed to the De-propaniser. The overhead product from De-propaniser is Propane (C3) and the bottom is fed to the De-butaniser. The overhead product from De-butaniser is a mixture of normal and iso-Butane (C4), and the bottom product is Kuwait Natural Gasoline (KNG).

The Propane and Butane products are sub-cooled and then routed to respective product treatment units for removal of sulphur compounds viz., H2S. The purified Propane and Butane are cooled in a refrigerant cooler and sent for storage.

Propane refrigeration system shall be provided as the main cooling duty to liquefy C2 and heavier components and C3 / C4 storage. A deep refrigeration system also shall be provided for Propane product cooling down to -49 O F (-45 O C).
