1 Introduction
1.1 Purpose
This Engineering Procedure serves as the framework to ensure that the Benchmarking Process is a continuous and seamless process and is incorporated as an integral part of the planning and execution of Saudi Aramco Capital Projects and reach parity with Best in Class. Saudi Aramco has an imperative to transform corporate performance into "Best in Class." To reach full parity with the "Best in Class", the Company must constantly "Measure (against the Industry), Assess, and Improve" and keep repeating the process. It also measures the Company performance with the Industry in the same line of business. Benchmarking process will focus on identifying aspects of the project that are not in line with the industry.
1.2 Definition
A Benchmarking Study is performed on a project to compare that project's cost, schedule, FEL (Front-End Loading), Operability, etc. to similar projects within Saudi Aramco as well as the industry. Saudi Aramco has re-engineered the benchmarking process to enhance the quality of data and maximize benefits of results. The benchmarking process will be centralized so that all benchmarking activities are managed through Project Control & Estimating Division of Project Support & Controls Department (PS&CD/PCED). PS&CD/PCED will work with SAPMT to identify projects that will be benchmarked at study phase, late stages of the DBSP, at the 90% Project Proposal, or at mechanical completion of a project.
1.2.1 Internal Benchmarking
Internal Benchmarking shall be performed on selected projects (except buildings, pipelines rehabilitations, master appropriations, and home-ownership) based on mutual agreement between PS&CD/PCED and SAPMT. Key project data shall be provided by SAPMT to PS&CD/PCED for internal benchmarking purposes. A sample of benchmarking data sheet is shown in Exhibit IV. This internal benchmarking data will be part of the ER Estimate package.
1.2.2 External Project Benchmarking
External project benchmarking analysis is performed for selected projects by an outside consultant. This benchmarking analysis is intended to help the project team assess the completeness of project scope. The benchmarking analysis provides further support that the project is ready for the next phase. This guideline explains in detail
Document Responsibility: Project Support and Controls Dept. SAEP-26 Issue Date: 22 April 2007 Next Planned Update: 21 April 2012 Capital Project Benchmarking Guidelines
Page 3 of 30
criteria for selection, methodology, timing, data collection, and reporting/analysis for external project benchmarking.
1.2.3 External System Benchmarking
System benchmarking analysis is performed on selected projects by an outside Consultant based on type and size of the project. The system benchmarking will be conducted every two years or as necessary using a mix of various types and sizes including projects that have been already benchmarked explained under 1.2.2. This sample provides a historical overview of Saudi Aramco's capital projects performance over the life cycle of the projects. Selected projects may be at various stages of execution. In this study "key" inputs mutually agreed between PS&CD/PCED and Consultant as drivers of project performance of a representative cross-section of projects are compared against:
Industry-wide sample of projects, comparable in size and complexity, executed by Industry Average.
A group of projects similar in size and complexity executed in the Gulf Region (GCC) or the Middle East.
A group of projects similar in size and complexity executed by one competitor (an integrated oil company) that have achieved excellent results, named the Best in Class or Class "A".
These "key" inputs include at least the level of project definition quality, or front end loading (FEL), the role of value improving practices, and the level of team development.

3 Methodology
3.1 Project Selection
Saudi Aramco will internally benchmark selected capital projects, as mutually-agreed upon by PS&CD/PCED and SAPMT, using the internal database which has been developed by PS&CD/PCED. However, PS&CD/PCED will coordinate with SAPMT to identify projects to be externally benchmarked. PS&CD/PCED will perform the leading role for the selection of the Consultant and development of benchmarking criteria and implementation of the formal benchmarking study.
The analysis shall commence at the appropriate stage of the project, preferably before approval of the DBSP, comparing key parameters of the project with an external industry-wide database. The risk analysis will address key project outcomes and associated risk based on the available information. PS&CD/PCED will make the determination of what projects will be subject to either external or internal benchmarking.
External Benchmarking Selection Criteria
PS&CD/PCED will coordinate with SAPMT to identify projects with value of $100 MM or greater to be benchmarked. Projects less than $100 MM may be benchmarked if related to core business and deemed necessary by PS&CD/PCED and SAPMT.
The following projects are excluded:
Pipeline Rehabs Master Appropriations Home Ownership Buildings Marine Vessel Projects Utilities as stand-alone projects

3.2 Benchmarking Stages
Project Benchmarking will be done at the following stages:
During the latter part of the Study Phase (FEL 1) At first draft of DBSP (FEL 2) At 90% Project Proposal (FEL 3) At Project Close-out Operability Review after facility has been in operations for 12 months
3.3 Work Breakdown Structure
Benchmarking will reflect the Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) identified in SA benchmarking models. The Consultant has a set of checklists similar to Saudi Aramco BM Models which will be forwarded to Saudi Aramco. These will be reflected and Saudi Aramco Models will be aligned with the Consultant's models. Benchmarking must also reflect Saudi Aramco's project types and subtypes attached to this document.
Consultant's Report Format will be structured to present a balanced approach between Scope/Cost/Schedule Data and other Value Added and Best Practices. In addition, the WBS identified by the Benchmarking models and project types and subtypes. The Benchmarking process and report (refer to Exhibit V) must be structured, organized to provide benchmarks and recommendations according to the following structure:
3.3.1 Project Output Capacity
Saudi Aramco projects must be benchmarked with similar projects in the industry taking into account the project capacity output. Saudi Aramco is interested in a benchmark of a small data set with similar project

3.3.3 Project Location
The benchmarking analysis need to reflect datasets for projects in similar locations and provide benchmarks that evaluate Saudi Aramco's performance as it compares to:
Saudi Aramco Standard vs. Industry Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Countries (these include: Kingdom
of Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, and the Sultanate of Oman).
Best in Class 3.3.4 Inside/Outside Battery Limits
The benchmarking data needs to differentiate between the Inside Battery Limits (ISBL) and Outside Battery Limits (OSBL) parts of the project where relevant. The dataset and the benchmark report need to provide performance and recommendations separately for these two areas where relevant. The report must be structured as such.
3.3.5 Grass Root or Revamp/Expansion
The benchmark report must identify whether the project is a Grass Root Project or an expansion/ revamp of an existing facility. The industry projects used for benchmarks must be of similar nature as the Aramco project being benchmarked.
3.3.6 Project Exclusions
The benchmark report and analysis must exclude factors specific to Saudi Aramco such as long transmission lines, excessive infrastructure outside the OSBL, Long road or highways to reach the site, security fences, flood lights, etc.

4 Responsibility/Workflow
4.1 Responsibility
PS&CD/PCED shall be responsible for the selection of projects to be benchmarked, data collection, and coordination with the SAPMT, FPD, Benchmarking Consultant, and other parties. External benchmarking studies will be conducted by the Consultant in accordance with the benchmarking workflow discussed in section 4.2. PS&CD/PCED will share the draft report with SAPMT, and discuss and agree with SAPMT any comments and/or measures necessary to implement the consultant's recommendations. PS&CD/PCED will respond to the Benchmarking Consultant who will then issue the final agreed report.
4.2 Benchmarking Workflow
The following sections outline the workflow that will normally be followed to implement benchmarking:
4.2.1 Identify Candidate Projects
PS&CD/PCED will identify suitable candidate projects to undergo either external or internal benchmarking and identify Timing and Frequency to allow benefits from feedback. Projects will be selected based on type and size.
4.2.2 Select Projects for Benchmarking
PS&CD/PCED will review the candidate projects with SAPMT and agree on selected projects for external benchmarking and determine a likely start date for initiating the benchmarking process. SAPMT must appoint a designee for contact and coordination. This person will usually be the Senior Project Engineer.
4.2.3 Establishment of a Work Order through ASC
PS&CD/PCED will establish a work order with the Benchmarking Consultant. A contract will be set up between ASC and the Benchmarking Consultant to serve this need. The consultant fees will be paid out of TC-68 funds reserved for this purpose for FEL-1, 2 and 3 benchmarks and from approved ER funds for projects under execution.
4.2.4 Data Gathering Cycle
Required metrics and data will be collected for the benchmarking effort at any given stage of a project, Study Phase (FEL-1), DBSP (FEL-2), Project Proposal (FEL-3) and Project Close-Out.
Document Responsibility: Project Support and Controls Dept. SAEP-26 Issue Date: 22 April 2007 Next Planned Update: 21 April 2012 Capital Project Benchmarking Guidelines
Page 9 of 30
The Benchmarking Metrics for each type of project is shown in the attached Exhibit. So far as is practicable, required data will be automatically downloaded from PMIS. At the FEL Stages, the intent is to centralize the data collection effort and ensure consistency.
All cost and schedule data will be provided by PS&CD/PCED and SAPMT according to availability. Any additional data, e.g., schedules (level 1, 2 or 3[Primavera format]), construction productivity, quantities, constructability, safety, contractor data, Best Practices, Value Improvement Practices, etc., will be obtained from PMT or FPD, as required.
On receipt of the Work Order the Benchmarking Consultant will prepare additional to the Standard questionnaire a Saudi Aramco specific questionnaire. This Questionnaire will be prepared based on the agreed metrics appropriate to the project status. The questionnaire will be issued to PS&CD/PCED who will coordinate its timely completion with SAPMT. Based on recent discussions with the Benchmarking Consultant, it is expected that this questionnaire will be complementary to the data collected and additional input required by the consultant to perform his analysis.
Upon completion of the questionnaire, PS&CD/PCED and a designated SAPMT contact person will forward this data to the Benchmarking Consultant. An interview of the Project Team by the Benchmarking Consultant will be scheduled at an agreed time and location.
4.2.5 Review Cycle
Following the interview, the Benchmarking Consultant will prepare his report and submit it to PS&CD/PCED and the SAPMT contact person. It is expected that about four weeks would normally be required to prepare the report. At approximately two weeks an interim progress meeting will be held at the consultant's office or other locations mutually agreed.
4.2.6 Draft & Final Report
All benchmarking requests and draft or final reports should compare Saudi Aramco's deliverables with the industry during all the benchmarking phases, study, DBSP, project proposal and execution.
Draft and Final Reports will specifically address the following issues:
Assessment of scope clarity;
Document Responsibility: Project Support and Controls Dept. SAEP-26 Issue Date: 22 April 2007 Next Planned Update: 21 April 2012 Capital Project Benchmarking Guidelines
Page 10 of 30
Completeness and quality of data available at preceding project phases (FEL-1, 2, 3) if any;
Scope evolvement between study, DBSP and Project Proposal; Comparison of Saudi Aramco with Industry averages as well as Gulf
Region averages; Assess Market Conditions Impact on Projects; Descriptions of comparable baseline projects in the consultant's
database; Benchmarking reports need to share a common format to ensure
consistency of presentation; Items unique to Saudi Aramco should be identified and excluded
from the project benchmarking.
PS&CD/PCED will share the draft report with SAPMT, evaluate its implications for the project and discuss and agree with SAPMT any comments and/or measures necessary to implement the consultant's recommendations. PS&CD/PCED will respond to the Benchmarking Consultant who will then issue the final agreed report.
4.2.7 Completion of the Study
Upon completion of the study and agreement, a plan will be developed to implement any recommendations that may be accepted.
4.2.8 Incorporation into PMIS
Outcomes of benchmarking studies shall be in the format required by Saudi Aramco and continuously reviewed with a view to updating and refining benchmarks and incorporation into Project Management Information System (PMIS) in SAP as modules are developed.
5 Data Collection
PS&CD/PC&ED will be the main contact and coordinator for collecting the data to perform the benchmarking for all projects. The data collected for each phase needs to be tailored to the phase at which the benchmarking is done. Thus, the questionnaire provided by the benchmarking consultant needs to be specific to the phase at which the project is benchmarked. Attached to this guideline are the templates detailing all the Saudi Aramco required benchmarks (Cost, Schedule, Safety, Productivity, Value Improving Practices, Others).
It is noted that next revision of the "Kbase" program will generate IPA type reports that can be used by the Benchmarking Consultant for external benchmarking.
Saudi Aramco will provide the following key data at each phase:
