First WordDear Colleagues,

This month, Al Fahal features the news which has garnered world headlines for PDO – the project to build the largest solar enhanced oil recovery project in the oil and gas industry, in the Middle East, and the world in terms of peak thermal capacity.

The Miraah project, developed with our partners GlassPoint Solar, will become a showpiece of sustainability in action, an energy pathfinder for Oman with major potential for maximising ultimate recoveries of our oil fields, while establishing a key new supply chain, and contributing to Oman’s jobs market, skills base and economic development.

This plant will produce 6,000 tons of steam each day to be used in the extraction of large deposits of heavy and viscous oil. This dwarfs all other solar EOR installations and will reduce consumption of valuable natural gas, which can then be used elsewhere for power generation, desalination, residential and commercial use and to diversify the Sultanate’s economy.

In a nutshell, what we are aiming to do is secure greater recovery while at the same time reducing our energy consumption and our costs. We are confident this is going to be a win-win and a sustainable project for PDO, GlassPoint and Oman.

Just as important is the potential this has to make this country a world-renowned hub of production, expertise, research and development for solar energy, with all the economic spin-offs that entails.

This magazine also carries the further exciting project news that the Yibal Khuff mega project has received shareholder approval of the Final Investment Decision, marking the start of the Execution phase. This was followed by the award of a US$900 million Engineering and Procurement contract to Petrofac.

The investment at Yibal Khuff is further evidence that, despite the volatile oil price environment, PDO is pursuing a growth agenda and investing in projects which can produce real and lasting value for Oman and our shareholders.

I’d also like to draw your attention to the story about the Amin water injection project where the team has achieved an outstanding record for the industry by commissioning the facility seven months ahead of schedule. The project came in 30% under budget with a record of seven million Lost Time Injury-free manhours and is a great example of enhancing In-Country Value by developing people and talent: some 40 young Omani engineers from PDO and contractors were deployed on the project allowing them to further develop skills in technical positions.

Plane Simulators Boost Fire Training

PDO has staged a workshop giving Omani small and medium enterprises (SMEs) a better understanding of how to do business with the Company. The seminar was aimed at encouraging local vendors to bid for future contracts by explaining PDO’s technical contractual requirements, tendering and contracting processes, business ethics and health, safety and environment requirements. It also focused on the importance of training and Omanisation among SMEs to support PDO efforts to generate employment opportunities for Omanis. Around 30 representatives from SMEs and Local Community Contractors (LCCs), companies owned by local communities or individuals that live in PDO's concession area, attended the event at the Company’s Mina Al Fahal headquarters in Muscat. Many of those invited had unsuccessfully bid for PDO work in the past. In-Country Value Director Abla Al Riyami said: This is the first workshop of its kind that aims to address the main reasons for Omani SMEs in failing PDO’s technical bids evaluation and to raise awareness on our particular tendering requirements and stipulations. “As a fair, honest, ethical and efficient Company, PDO contracts must conform to the highest standards and certain processes and procedures. These have to be followed by those bidding for work with us. We hope this workshop has given those who participated a clearer understanding of our terms and conditions and enabled them to be ready and able to successfully compete for business not only with PDO, but with the wider oil and gas industry.” PDO is an active backer of local businesses, providing support across a wide range of activities. Last year, it awarded contracts worth US$4.9 billion to nationally registered businesses. During 2014, there were also 171 active LCCs benefiting from PDO contracts. Examples of the services provided by them included electrical, mechanical, civil engineering, logistics and manpower supply.

If At First You Don’t Succeed…

PDO has purchased two aircraft simulators to help fire crews train for tackling plane emergencies.

The new machines at Fahud and Marmul airports will help the Company retain its international licence to operate flights.

Chief Fire Officer Suleiman Al Adawi said: “It’s a source of great pride that we have these simulators as they will considerably help us to improve our training and the competency of our crews in dealing with aircraft incidents.

“PDO will also save lots of the training budget because we won’t have to pay to send officers on so many courses abroad any more.

“I want to thank Senior Procurement Specialist Kawthar Al Ismaily who played a key role in the negotiations to drive a good deal with the supplier. We were dealing with two contractors and it was a complex matter but she helped immensely during the negotiations.”

The simulators will be a key focus of fire training which is regulated by the Public Authority of Civil Aviation (PACA). Mandatory airport training falls into two categories, with firefighters certified every three months for one

and every four years for the other to comply with International Civil Aviation Organisation standards.

This has been expensive but the new equipment will reduce the bill as crews can now train more at PDO facilities.

An official ceremony was held to mark the commissioning of the Fahud simulator which was attended by senior members of the PDO Fire and Rescue team and guest of honour Job Evaluation and Organisational Development expert Ahmed Zakwani. Crews demonstrated their firefighting techniques with a mock drill during the event.

The PDO Fire and Rescue Service Fire Training Department has eight staff including the training head and fire instructors, all of whom have received, or are to receive training in the UK.

Suleiman said: “We compare well with other fire brigades in the country in terms of our training, equipment and competency of our professional, volunteer and contractor fire personnel.

“We’d like to thank the PDO management team for their support in reaching this level.”

Savings And Safety

Managing Director Raoul Restucci and Technical Director Amran Al Marhubi have stressed the importance of building a more positive and collaborative relationship with contractors to embed a stronger savings and safety culture.Addressing the latest MD/TD Talk to staff, both Raoul and Amran made it clear that contractors played a crucial role in delivering a better business and operational performance.Raoul revealed that nine Contract Optimisation Reviews have been completed and have so far realised more than US$400 million savings by identifying activities which can be executed more efficiently. He also said a further 280 initiatives had been identified with a potential to save up to US$410 million.Speaking about the savings, Amran commented: “That came from working together. If only we could get our heads around this simple fact. We need to work with our contractors in a collaborative way. We need to treat ideas seriously and not to rubbish them.” Both leaders again drew attention to business efficiency initiatives such as the Every Rial Counts campaign and stressed the importance of each and every staff member cutting waste whether it be through turning up for flights and training courses, printing less, leaving less food or using the new recycling bins which are being rolled out across PDO. Raoul also said Lean and Leader Standard Work were important to ensure work was consistently aligned, delivered and reviewed.On safety, Raoul hailed the step change in Process Safety Management with only a handful of Tier One incidents so far this year but called for a big improvement in Lost Time Injury Frequency and Total Recordable Case Frequency results, with more engagement and intervention in day-to-day activities, saying: “Everyone makes a difference. Contract Holders should spend time in the field asking where a difference can be made.”He drew attention to a more behaviour-based approach to simplify training and for “a combination of increased middle management engagement and ownership, with renewed focus and emphasis on taking time out to learn

from recent incidents and how to ensure no further re-occurrence. “The gathering was told that even though the oil price has slumped, the oil that PDO produces is still profitable. Raoul said there had been a robust delivery performance so far this year with Amran revealing oil production was currently outstripping the 573,000 barrels per day target with PDO on target to deliver 136 million more barrels by the end of the decade than predicted at the start.

He reported there had been a good comeback on condensates, hitting 90,000 bpd, and PDO was still central to supplying the lion’s share of the country’s gas demand. Raoul said staff should “watch this space” as the Company gears up for a new approach on diversity and inclusion to eradicate any bullying or harassment in the workplace so the full potential of staff could be unleashed, regardless of background, gender, nationality or age. He also said this year’s People Survey would help to identify and address trust in leadership issues, celebrate best practice and increase feedback assessment. The audience was told that the National Objectives team was on course to exceed its target of creating 7,000 Omani jobs and training opportunities with our contractors by the end of the year – which will take the total number created since 2011 to well over 20,000. Raoul said although it was still a tough time because of the low oil price environment, the last Board meeting had been positive “with a lot of support for things that are happening in PDO.”

Staff helped to raise more than RO 100,000 after an appeal to help victims of the Nepal earthquake.More than 1,300 employees donated money after the earthquake struck in April impacting thousands of families and causing widespread devastation. The money raised will be used to help in rebuilding homes. PDO has been working with the Oman Charitable Organisation (OCO), which is under governmental financial supervision, to ensure that all donations are used as effectively as possible. External Affairs Director Abdul-Amir Al Ajmi handed over a cheque for RO 114,000 to OCO at its headquarters in Muscat.He said: “There is a great spirit of compassion in PDO and many of our staff were very moved by what happened in Nepal, especially as the country is still very much dealing with the aftermath of the disaster. Our staff asked us to organise an appeal and then voluntarily made contributions from their monthly salaries.“Knowing that their donations would be channelled through such a reputable body as OCO triggered a tremendously generous response from our people as they know their money will be used effectively and efficiently for humanitarian relief.”OCO Executive Chairman Ali Ibrahim Shenoon Al Raisi said: “On behalf of the OCO Board,

we are very grateful for the generosity and compassion of each and every member of PDO staff who contributed and we will ensure that the funds are used effectively to help those most in need in Nepal - this money will be used to rebuild shattered homes. “PDO is the largest private donor in Oman to this appeal so far and has co-ordinated very well with us. We call on other companies and individuals to follow its example. The disaster is over but the rehabilitation isn't - a committee from OCO will be visiting to study the situation.”PDO also raised RO 330,000 to help victims of the Gaza conflict last year – the largest corporate donation in Oman for the cause - and also backed relief efforts for Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines and the Syrian civil war.

Nepal Earthquake Appeal

Al Fahal | September 2015 3

PDO has announced plans to build one of the world’s largest solar plants with American partner GlassPoint.

Miraah (meaning mirror in Arabic) will be a 1,021 megawatt solar thermal facility harnessing the sun’s rays to produce steam which will be used in thermal enhanced oil recovery to extract heavy and viscous oil at Amal in southern Oman.

Miraah will deliver the largest peak energy output of any solar plant in the world, and the scope of this landmark project underscores the massive market for deploying solar in the oil and gas industry.

The plant will provide a sustainable solution for EOR steam, which is currently produced by burning natural gas. Once complete, Miraah will save 5.6 trillion British Thermal Units (BTUs) of natural gas each year, the amount of gas that could be used to provide residential electricity to 209,000 people in Oman.

At the contract signing ceremony at PDO Knowledge World, Managing Director Raoul Restucci said: “PDO is proud to lead the industry by deploying solar-powered oil production at an unprecedented scale and level of efficiency. The project will provide

Amal Solar Shines Across The World

PDO Projects

a significant portion of the steam demand at Amal and is an important part of PDO’s production plans.

“The use of solar for oil recovery is a long-term strategic solution to develop PDO’s viscous oil portfolio and reduce consumption of valuable natural gas, which is needed elsewhere to diversify Oman’s economy and create economic growth. It also will displace diesel and higher carbon intensive power generation and oil burning in future thermal projects.

“PDO has been a pioneering force in EOR for a number of years and it will play an increasingly important part in the Company’s portfolio, accounting for around a third of our production by 2023.”

PDO has been working with GlassPoint since 2010 on a successful pilot scheme at Amal to test the commercial viability of solar steam which produced 50 tons of steam a day. The seven megawatt solar steam pilot will continue to operate at Amal alongside the full-scale development.

Raoul added: “PDO awarded GlassPoint the contract based on the strength of our successful solar steam pilot, which has exceeded expectations for reliable operations and steam delivery for the past two years. GlassPoint’s proven track record propelled us toward this historic project that will be over 100 times larger.”

The project will generate an average of 6,000 tons of solar steam daily for oil production, dwarfing all other solar EOR installations. The system will deliver steam to Amal’s existing thermal EOR operations, meeting a sizable portion of the field’s steam demand. The full-scale project will comprise 36 glasshouse modules, built and commissioned in succession in groups of four. The total project area, including all supporting infrastructure, will span three-square kilometres, an area equivalent to more than 360 football pitches, The actual solar field will span less than two square kilometres.

The project will break ground this year with steam generation from the first glasshouse module in 2017. Once complete, Miraah will deliver more energy to the customer than any other solar plant in the world. The project is expected to reduce CO2 emissions by over 300,000 tons annually, the equivalent of taking 63,000 cars off the road.

Rod MacGregor, President and CEO of GlassPoint Solar, said: “The oil and gas industry is the next major market for solar energy. It takes a tremendous amount of energy to produce heavy and viscous oil, with a typical oil field consuming the same amount of energy as a small city. PDO is the global

leader in oil and gas innovation and the first to realise the value of using solar to replace traditional fuel sources to generate steam for EOR.

“GlassPoint is thrilled to embark on a new era of partnership between the oil and solar industries. Our efforts with PDO will pave the way for additional large-scale solar EOR developments at oilfields around the world.”

The leading method of producing heavy oil is steam flooding, a thermal EOR process that injects steam into a reservoir to heat the oil and reduce viscosity, making it easier to extract and pump to the surface. Steam for thermal EOR is typically produced by burning large volumes of natural gas and gas demand will continue to rise alongside EOR projects.

However, GlassPoint’s solar EOR solution generates steam from solar energy, reducing an oilfield’s gas consumption by up to 80%. Oman can redirect the gas saved to meet rising demand for power generation, desalination, industrial development and liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports.

GlassPoint designed a concentrating solar power (CSP) technology to meet the specific needs of the oil and gas industry. Unlike solar panels that generate electricity, its enclosed trough technology uses large, curved mirrors to focus sunlight on a boiler tube containing water. The concentrated energy boils the water to produce high-quality steam, which is fed to the oilfield’s existing steam distribution network.

A self-cleaning glasshouse encloses and protects the solar collectors from wind, sand and dust storms common in Oman and throughout the Gulf region. The glasshouse structure creates a wind-free environment so the mirrors and other components inside can be very thin and lightweight. The enclosed trough mirrors are a small fraction of the weight of exposed solar thermal systems, resulting in significant material and cost savings.

Miraah has the potential to generate significant value for Oman, creating new opportunities in supply chain development, manufacturing capability, and employment and training. Plans to localise the supply chain are currently under development, including establishing a local manufacturing factory in Oman.

PDO has a comprehensive programme to address energy management, installing combined cycle, waste heat recovery, and reduced loss distribution systems, along with gas breakthrough controllers, more efficient turbines and electrical submersible pumps, low pressure and atmospheric gas recovery systems – and solar along with LED lighting.

The multi award-winning Nimr reed beds project is also considered to

be the largest industrial constructed wetland system in the world, and uses the power of nature – huge reed ponds – to treat more than 700,000 barrels of produced water from oil production a day at a fraction of the cost and energy intensity of conventional deep water disposal. The project yields an energy and fuel gas reduction, not least related emissions, of 98% and provides the opportunity for turning the waste water into value.

Raoul said: “Integration of this solar EOR technology into existing PDO oilfield operations will be seamless and further extend our energy conservation efforts, building on globally recognised water treatment and other initiatives across our portfolio.

“This project has the potential to make Oman a world centre of excellence for solar EOR with obvious benefits in terms of job and training opportunities for Omanis, building a robust Omani supply chain and attracting further foreign investment, whilst building a reliable and sustainable proposition for solar EOR worldwide.

“What we are aiming to do is secure greater recovery of oil while at the same time reducing our energy consumption and our costs. We are confident this is going to be a win-win and sustainable project for PDO, GlassPoint and the Sultanate.”

A two-day training workshop has been held for the new elected Board members of Super Local Community Contractors (SLCCs) as part of PDO’s In-Country Value drive.

The seminar at the Learning and Development Centre was staged to raise the awareness of SLCC executives on a range of important business areas, including their roles and responsibilities, corporate governance, commercial law, marketing, finance and performance monitoring.

The training also covered customer service, co-ordinating meetings, annual report writing, solving managerial issues and ‘softer’ skills’ such as negotiation, persuasion and communication.

The symposium, which was attended by 50 members from the SLCC boards and the SLCC Ministerial Action Team, comprising representatives from the Ministry of Oil and Gas, Ministry of Interior Ministry of Commerce and Industry and PDO, was facilitated by leading economist Ahmed Kashob.

Recognised Omani experts were selected to present the various modules, including Sayyid Hamed Al Busaidi, General Manager of the Oman Centre for Governance and Sustainability, Ahmed Safrar, Chief Executive Officer of OIFC, Saleh Al Badi, Chairman of NAS International, Mustafa Al Lawati, Legal Consultant of National Bank of Oman and Dr Rasool Jabir, an economist.

In-Country Value Director Abla Al Riyami said: “PDO is committed to raising the capability and competence of Omanis working in the oil and gas industry and beyond as part of its ICV strategy.

“The workshop was part of an ongoing drive to increase executive and managerial skills so that the SLCCs can mature to the point where they can compete locally and internationally.

“So far, PDO has offered SLCCs technical, financial, HSE and corporate governance support, sponsored equipment and appointed independent consultants to help with cash flow and economic modeling, as well as seconding PDO’s senior engineers to each SLCC to help them better understand our operational needs.”

There are five SLCCs working in the oil and gas sector in Oman: Al Sahari, Al Baraka, Al Shawamikh and Al Haditha, which were

established by PDO, and Al Khazain which is being sponsored and incubated by Occidental.

The SLCCs are Omani-owned firms employing more than 750 Omanis, have a capital value of more than RO

25 million and are owned by thousands of shareholders drawn from the communities in which they operate. They provide a range of core oil and gas activities, including hoists operations, wellhead maintenance and flowline replacement.

The companies are becoming increasingly competitive in their own right. For example, in September 2014, Al Sahari acquired the Norwegian firm Aker Well Services’ wireline operations in Oman. The deal involved the acquisition of equipment, current contracts, partnering in new well technology application and services and special training for Omani staff. The move strengthened Al Sahari’s expertise in high pressure and temperature operations.

Continuous surveillance and monitoring of oil and gas reservoirs are crucial to understand a reservoir’s performance and consequently forecast production. One of the key tools to obtain continuous downhole pressure surveillance is Memory Downhole Gauge (MDHG). Downhole sensors have been on the market for a while now, but their long-term reliability has always been questionable in high temperature reservoir environments.

Tight, high temperature gas reservoirs have very low matrix permeabilities, which require a very long well shut-in time to calculate. Therefore, using well testing methods is not feasible. Using a downhole pressure gauge is a better solution in such cases. However, the conventional ones cannot withstand the long period test duration in the high temperature environment.

To overcome this challenge, PDO trialled innovative MDHGs which are custom-made for tight high temperature reservoirs. The trial was performed in Amin reservoir in the Fahud South West (FSW) field for a period of 40 days at a 170oC temperature at a depth of more than 4,600m.

The trialled gauge performed beyond expectation and successfully managed to withstand the temperature and record high quality pressure data, allowing a better estimation of reservoir permeabilities and hence forecast.

The trial demonstrated the capability of these gauges to perform at high temperature and over a long duration. In addition to FSW, there are number of fields that can benefit from this success such as Khulud, Al Huwaisah, Amal and Qarn Alam.

Mega Deal At Yibal KhuffThe Yibal Khuff mega project has reached a major milestone with the shareholder approval of the Final Investment Decision, marking the start of the Execution phase. This was immediately followed by a US$900 million Engineering and Procurement contract which was awarded to British engineering giant Petrofac.

Under the terms of the four-and-a-half year deal, the company, which is also working on the Rabab Harweel integrated project (RHIP), will carry out the detailed engineering and procurement of all project-required equipment and materials on a reimbursable, incentivised basis and provide support for construction and commissioning management.

The integrated oil and gas facility will be one of the largest and technically most complex to be built by PDO and will be the first to use sulphur removal technology while meeting the most stringent environmental requirements in the world.

Construction is scheduled to start in Q2 2016 with commissioning expected in early 2019. The first oil is projected for Q1 2020 with a peak average production target of 20,000 barrels a day – and a gas plateau of six million cubic metres a day over 18 years. Associated gas will be used for power generation and enhanced oil recovery.

Managing Director Raoul Restucci said: “We are pleased to announce the signing of this major contract with Petrofac for engineering and procurement services at our Yibal Khuff mega project. We are delighted to have reached this important milestone. Yibal Khuff will be a very important additional asset to PDO’s portfolio, enabling us to sustain future oil and gas production.

“There has been some fantastic work by our own in-house Front End Engineering Design Office and project team so far and we look forward to working with Petrofac to ensure continued success.

“The investment at Yibal Khuff is further evidence that, despite the volatile oil price environment, PDO is pursuing a growth agenda and investing in projects which can produce real and lasting value for Oman and our shareholders.”

The on-plot construction contract is currently being tendered and is expected to be awarded early in Q4 of this year. In addition early works activities are to due to start shortly, involving building of the access road and phase 1 construction camp, drilling of water wells, and installation of overhead Lines and fibre optic cables.

Project Manager Anton Brouwer said: “The project team and the entire support

organisation, including the FEED office and Study Centre, are to be commended for delivering a high-quality project definition and robust execution plan, passing external assurance reviews (VAR4 and ESAR ) in December 2014 with flying colours and laying a solid foundation for successful execution.”

The project will develop several sour oil and

gas reservoirs simultaneously with sweet gas and oil production into government networks.

The EP contract includes minimum In-Country Value (ICV) requirements, including the training and employment of more than 50 Omani nationals, training and development of local suppliers and a minimum 20% of total procurement to be sourced from local vendors.

PDO has played a leading role in inspiring SQU geoscience students to success in a major regional competition.The Company was a joint sponsor of the Third Society of Exploration Geophysicists (SEG) Middle East Young Professionals and Students event held in Bahrain.PDO experts also coached participants from SQU on technical and presentational skills helping them to clinch first place in the 9th SEG Middle East Challenge Bowl.SQU was one of 12 teams representing 10 universities in the Middle East at the event organised by the SEG and the Dhahran Geo-science Society (DGS) and its students dominated the contest.Ten of SQU's Earth Sciences students (Geology and Geophysics major) attended this event with Dr Hesham El Kaliouby, faculty advisor of the SEG student chapter at SQU. Along with the Challenge Bowl competition, the students also participated in the best oral and poster competitions. Said Mahrooqi, Head of Geophysical Operations, said: “It is very pleasing that, with PDO support, SQU undergraduates were able to participate and win all the top prizes in the various competitions at the event, including the Challenge Bowl.“We were one of the main event sponsors, and also supported the majority of students by providing them with suitable projects and

then coaching them on their technical and presentation skills.”SQU has also qualified for the International SEG Challenge Bowl in the USA at the annual meeting of the SEG in October. 2015.It was the second time in a row that an SQU team took first place in the SEG Middle East Challenge Bowl. The contest included universities from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Egypt, and the Sultanate.Professor Salma Al Kindi, the Dean of the College of Science, acknowledged the collaboration and support provided by PDO through sponsorship, projects and coaching to enable students to become engaged directly in the oil and gas sector, saying: “It has been very fruitful and also appreciated by students. The rewards were magnificent.” Dr El Kaliouby said: “Attending such events gives the opportunity for SQU students to present their work at regional and international levels. It also develops their presentation skills and self-confidence. Moreover, it increases the awareness of the opportunities in geoscience and related disciplines and reduces the gap between academia and industry, as the students meet directly with oil industry experts and get feedback from them about the work presented.”

The Amin water injection project team has achieved an outstanding record for the industry by commissioning the facility seven months ahead of schedule. The project also came in 30% under budget with a record of seven million Lost Time Injury-free manhours.

Amin in southern Oman is one of the largest water injection projects in PDO and Shell with a capacity of 80,000 cubic metres of water per day.

Project Manager Sameh Afifi said: “This excellent achievement is down to a very proactive project team that recognised the strengths and weaknesses of the local contractors and adapted the contracting and execution strategy accordingly. The successes of this project were only possible by total collaboration and support of both operations and petroleum engineering teams.”

The on-plot scope involved construction of a standalone station at Amin with facilities for a peak water injection of 80,000 m3/d and injection pressure of 60-90 barg at the wellhead. The off-plot scope comprised three water and emulsion pipelines as well as distribution and testing systems for 40 injector wells. The project will add 11.3 million m3 of

PDO Projects

reserves (100%) and boost production to a peak oil rate of 3,200 m3/d (100%). There were some notable successes within the delivery of this project:

• Managing local content – the project created a win-win by extensive use of local contractors, developing their capability and achieving a construction cost reduction of 25%

• Understanding the suppliers – the project mapped known weaknesses of approved vendors and pre-designed controls and mitigations to counter these

• Value engineering – by means of an injection trial confidence was created to reduce the rating of the injection system from a 1,500 to a 900 class pipeline pressure rating, thereby reducing the cost by approximately US$20 million

• Applying Lean during the project life cycle which resulted in a visible schedule and cost saving

Strong project governance and a good working relationship and site engagements with the contractors were among key success factors.

Amin has become a good example of enhancing In-Country Value by developing people and talent: some 40 young Omani engineers from PDO and contractors were deployed on the project allowing them to further develop skills in technical positions. Sizable material procurements have been carried out from local suppliers such as pipelines and switch gears, and the team has been keen to participate in the sustainable development programme in the area.

The project achieved second place in the Oil South Directorate Excellence Awards for 2015 and the team is planning to participate in the Shell UII Impact Awards this year.

Staff In The SpotlightNusaiba Al Hakmani (Human Resources Business Partner)

Nusaiba Mahmood Al Hakmani joined PDO in January 2014. She now works as a Human Resources Business Partner in the HR Business Team (PCB) under the People and Change Directorate managing the Infrastructure Directorate. As an HR Business Partner, she is responsible for building a common approach to Human Resources in the managed directorate so that it can reach the short-term goals and the long-term stability of the organisation. In other words, her role is to be the ambassador for People and Change in the business.

Soon after joining PDO, Nusaiba took up the challenge of becoming the Change Manager for the E-Claim project which successfully went live early this year. With her continuous drive to learn and develop, she took up a new challenge becoming the Project Lead for the delivery of the People Survey 2015 which this

year sees a new era of employee engagement in PDO.

Here, she talks about the People Survey and why it is so important for staff to take part.

What is the objective of the People Survey?

The People Survey is an interactive tool which enables employees to share honestly and in confidence their feelings about PDO, as well as their thoughts about how we can improve as a company. It encourages a constructive dialogue between leadership and teams across the Company. It enables us to focus attention on areas that need improvement and so enhance our business performance and underlying work environment. Having the People Survey is one essential way in meeting the aspiration to make PDO a better organisation.

What is different in this year’s People Survey?

This year sees a step change in how we are managing the survey. This time, it is structured and designed in such a way that it enables us to focus much deeper on all levels of the organisation. It will enable us to drill down in more detail and increase our feedback assessment to a greater degree at team leader observation levels to drive improvement through employee engagement across the Company. This change will help us:

• Enhance employee engagement as highly engaged employees are empowered and inspired to perform at their best, leading to a highly capable workforce, increased productivity and improved retention and a further embedding of our business culture of Continuous Improvement

• Recognise and celebrate areas of excellence by showcasing best practices

• Develop and support leaders at all levels that need mentoring and coaching to improve their leadership skills

• Make a direct response to any identified gaps so that we move from “one-size fits-all” solutions to a targeted and localised intervention.

Why is it important for staff to participate?

The survey was launched on 25th August 2015 with the slogan “Voice Your Opinion” - or in Arabic. Participation of staff is ”رأيك يهمنا“crucial because it is only after examining and assessing their views that we can address issues and devise viable long-term solutions to enhance the working environment. Hence, employees are encouraged to offer their constructive opinions and be part of the positive change PDO continuously strives for.

What is your aspiration for the People Survey?

To see PDO embarking on a journey of employee engagement via the People Survey where it helps us to become a greater organisation: a place where leaders, being the main drivers of engagement, are able to use the results to make a positive difference. Engaged employees are more motivated, contribute constructively to the team and perform better.

Lift To Safety Campaign

PDO News

The Study Centre has created an industry-first web tool that ensures a standardised, clear and comprehensive acquisition and assessment of all relevant data from geomechanical (GM) laboratory tests to judge well viability.The PDO Rock Mechanics Manager (RMM) is an analytical tool which reduces unnecessary or repetitive tests, cuts lead times on geomechanical-related studies and provides a trustworthy repository for rock mechanical data.Rock stiffness and strength are at the heart of geomechanical applications and assessments, such as the appraisal of cap rock integrity, fault reactivation, water and chemical injection constraints, solid production, wellbore stability, hydraulic fracture design and pore pressure prediction(PPP).Some rock stiffness and strength parameters can be calculated from logs but these generally overestimate the actual rock stiffness and hence need to be calibrated with actual rock test measurements which come from core, samples of reservoir rocks giving an insight into the porosity and permeability of a well.As of today, PDO has taken approximately 40 km of core and the amount is increasing. Measuring these rock stiffness and strength parameters is done by taking core plugs – or dried cylinders of rock - and sending them to international laboratories for testing. However, the preparation and conduct of these tests require a relatively high capital investment, are elaborate and time consuming, and tests are not always straightforward or of perfect quality. While PDO is moving more and more into secondary and tertiary development of its reservoirs, the geomechanical challenges also increase along with the need for knowledge on rock mechanical properties. In the past, rock mechanical tests on core material were quite often taken on a case-by-case basis, with a narrow focus. As a result, knowledge was badly documented, poorly stored and quite often got lost, representing a significant capital loss – a problem recognised by the whole rock mechanical community.RMM was born after PDO decided to develop

A Rock-Solid Solution

a dedicated rock mechanical database in-house, integrated with SCAL workflows and minimum standards. This generates “Rock Test Templates” for vendors to use when they design the tests and submit the test results to PDO. It allows optimal assurance of the quality of the delivered measurements, provides an independent interpretation platform and gives PDO’s subsurface community full access to the rock mechanical database in a Lean fashion. Having a local rock physics database enables the establishment of clear field and lithology specific rock physic relationships that should replace the more general empirical ones, which are based on ambiguous analogues from outside Oman.Reservoir Solutions and Subsurface Consultancy Team Leader Salim Al Mahruqi said: “The RMM tool will certainly streamline rock mechanics data acquisition, quality assurance and quality control, interpretation and retrieval of critical geomechanical data. “It is the first of its kind in the industry and took a significant collaborative effort between the Study Centre and IM&T Department. I would like take this opportunity to thank all those involved in the production of this outstanding tool.”Former Study Centre Manager Sultan Al Shidhani said: “Producing oil and gas from highly challenging reservoirs such as the deep and tight formations require developing in-depth understanding of static and dynamic rock and fluid properties, which in turn can only be achieved through the use of expertise, a vast amount of data, and expert tools. With the development of RRM, PDO has made a significant step forward enabling its geomechanics experts to bring the vast and sparse amount of acquired data to significant value-creating use.”The tool can be accessed by going to the intranet home page and clicking on “Applications” and then “PDO Rock Mechanics Manager” under the “Subsurface” section. Please liaise with the geomechanical (USR4) team for further information on the database and processes for ordering laboratory measurements.

PDO’s Lifting and Hoisting (UEQ3) team took part in the World Day for Safety and Health At Work, an international campaign to promote working in a safer environment.Staff manned a stand for an exhibition organised by the Ministry of Manpower at Muscat’s Grand Mall and showcased how they oversee safe lifting and hoisting in the Company’s operations.The event, which was also attended by other companies, attracted many Omani and non-Omani visitors. It was followed by a seminar about occupational health and safety at work. During this, the PDO team was provided with an award as a token of appreciation.

PDO has pledged to spend more than RO 500,000 on six projects to benefit Omani communities and the environment.The expenditure package, the latest in a series of social investment commitments, will include help for the disabled, animal welfare, environmental protection and awareness, and tourism.

Almost half of the investment will fund four mobile veterinary clinics, with two operating in the North of PDO’s concession area and two in the South, to assist livestock owners with the care of their animals. And there will also be support for ecological conservation efforts, including at Damaniyat Islands, Oman’s only marine protected area.

Six Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) relating to the projects were signed by Managing Director Raoul Restucci and External Affairs Director Abdul-Amir Al Ajmi, and senior Government and non-government organisation (NGO) representatives, including His Excellency Ahmed Al Bakri, Undersecretary at the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries; Sayyid Adel bin Al Murdas Al Busaidi, Tourist Affairs Adviser at the Ministry of Tourism; H.E, Sheikh Al Mundhir bin Ahmed Al Marhoon, Wali of Thumrait; Her Highness Sayida Tanya Al Said, Chairman of the Environment Society of Oman (ESO); Yahya Al Amri, Chairman of the Oman Association for the Disabled (OAD); and Mohamed bin Ahmed Al Amri, Vice Chairman of the Oman Paralympics Committee.The full list of commitments which were unveiled at the official signing ceremony at

Members of the Ras Al Hamra Fitness Club are celebrating after successfully completing the 2015 Fitness and Wellness Challenge.The challenge, run with in conjunction with the Change4Life programme, was targeted at helping people to adopt a health, safe and active lifestyle through exercise.Certificates were awarded by People and Change Director Ibtisam Al Riyami, who is also a Change4Life committee member, as a token of appreciation for the commitment of members.Trophies were also awarded to those who showed the biggest improvement in areas such as endurance, cardio capacity, flexibility, strength and body composition.Also present were Fitness Section Chairwoman Saada Al Aufy, Ras Al Hamra Recreation Centre (RAHRC) Manager Hamood Al Tooqi and fitness instructors Fatma Ahmed Mohammed, Femie Panganiban, Alfredo Costales and Peter Parabia.Fatma said: “Every member who participated is a winner in their own way as the challenge is not there for members to compete with each other but themselves. We want members to be better than who they were yesterday.” And she offered the following advice to members: “Don’t be intimidated by others or your goal. Losing weight and being fit and healthy are really just a lot of little decisions, changes and sacrifices you make in life. Remember, you didn’t put on weight overnight. Allow yourself to be successful. Vary exercises and try something new to avoid boredom. Make a choice to change your life and commit to the change you want and believe in yourself. Try..you can do it!”

Fit And Well

PDO’s Knowledge World attraction attended by guest of honour H.E. Salim Al Aufi, Undersecretary at the Ministry of Oil and Gas, are: • Funding for four mobile veterinary clinics• The construction of a public majlis in

Sadhun village, Qatbit• Support for ESO environmental protection

and awareness campaigns• The building of five retail kiosks to display

and sell local products to tourists visiting Al Jabal Al Akhdar

• The purchase of 15 special basketball wheelchairs for Oman’s paralympic players

• The purchase of 110 wheelchairs for OAD members.

Raoul said: “PDO is proud to support a range of worthy causes through our Social Investment Programme which is targeted at promoting sustainable development, both in the environment and community, and meeting real needs.“This latest round of funding has been agreed after extensive

consultation with ministries, non-governmental organisations and residents in both our concession area and beyond.“We will continue to support the wider society as a good corporate citizen because we only succeed if the communities in which we operate succeed.”The mobile clinics will be fully equipped with the latest veterinary devices and medicine to deliver a preventive and curative service for livestock in PDO’s concession area. The aim is to enhance the income of their owners, raise living standards and promote community stability by boosting the rural economy.The signing of the MoUs also underlines PDO’s strong commitment to environmental stewardship. The Company is backing ESO to begin conservation and clean-up campaigns on both land and water at Damaniyat Islands. The islands host beautiful coral reefs, nesting beaches for hawksbill and green turtles, and are home to large numbers of nesting seabirds. However, tourist and fishing activities have increased pollution, endangering their unique biodiversity. PDO is also sponsoring a targeted two-year environmental education programme, where ESO experts will visit schools to give presentations and supervise interactive activities on environmental issues such as biodiversity, eco-footprints and energy saving. In addition, colleges will be approached and students encouraged to develop their own environmental projects and activities. The Company has also stepped up its support for the disabled.Head of Social Investment Yarub Al Hadhrami

said: “As part of the spending, we are buying new wheelchairs to help Oman’s paralympic basketball team compete in international tournaments and also to support low-income disabled people re-integrate back into the community and resume their daily lives.“We are strong backers of the OAD which does excellent work providing support, education and recreational activities for people with disabilities, as well as working towards achieving a better understanding of the needs of people with disabilities in the wider community.”

PDO and Port of Duqm Company (PDC) have officially started to implement a ministerial request to concentrate oil and gas project and operational cargo via the port.

PDO has begun importing project materials through the hub and is directing its suppliers and contractors to use the commercial terminal when possible and appropriate.

Duqm has been designed to cater for cargo from the oil and gas sector and can handle the heaviest and largest cargo of any port in the Sultanate because of its special heavyweight quay wall structure and its congestion-free road network linking it to major oil field locations.

In addition, the port boasts the latest state-of-the-art lifting capacity, with a shore crane capable of hoisting 240 tons, and it has a surface area of over 600 hectares specially dedicated to the storage and dispatching of cargoes.

PDO has already received material for its Rabab Harweel mega project in the south of its concession area from five shipments docking at the port from Europe, China and North Africa.

Managing Director Raoul Restucci said: “Duqm meets a strategic need for Oman, both in terms of its location and facilities. For PDO and our contractors, its proximity to some of our major fields is a great boon as it enables us to import and move vital equipment and material faster and cheaper than routing cargoes through other locations.

“This alternative will save time and money while at the same time aiding the development, capability and capacity of a vital logistical hub

PDO Leaders Feature In Industry Top 10 List

His Excellency Dr Mohammed bin Hamed Al Rumhy, the Minister of Oil and Gas and Chairman of the PDO Board of Directors, and Managing Director Raoul Restucci have been named among the most powerful and influential people in the Middle East oil and gas sector.

The website www.arabianindustry.com ranked His Excellency at number four and Raoul at number 10 in a Top 10 list of leading industry figures.

The business news portal highlighted the Minister’s work on Omanisation stating: “Oman is a leading light in the process of workforce localisation and much of that accolade must be credited to the hard work of His Excellency Dr Al Rumhy.”

It also emphasised Raoul’s work for PDO and his contribution to the successful running of the Company.

External Affairs Director Abdul-Amir Al Ajmi said: “This is a very well deserved recognition for two lynchpins of the oil and gas sector. Their support, guidance and encouragement have inspired all those who work for PDO to give their best for the Company and country.

“They have done so much to raise the profile of PDO internationally, whether it be through our pioneering In-Country Value strategy to extend job and training opportunities to Omanis and support local businesses, or through our

innovative approach to the use of technology in production.”

H.E. Dr Al Rumhy started his career as a PDO trainee during his studies and later joined the Company as a petroleum engineer assigned to the Fahud field. He was appointed as the Minister of Oil and Gas by His Majesty Sultan Qaboos in 1997 and since then has driven and supervised continued successes in both upper stream and downstream activities.

Raoul started his career in Shell International in 1980 and served in several other senior positions for the company. He assumed the role of PDO Managing Director in 2010 and since then has presided over a string of milestone achievements, including a record-breaking performance on production and safety in 2013, and the creation of more than 15,000 job and training opportunities for Omanis.

This is a very well deserved recognition for two lynchpins of the oil and gas sector.

for the Sultanate, complementing the well- established ports of Sohar and Salalah.”

PDC Chief Executive Officer of Reggy Vermeulen said: “PDO is the main oil and gas operator in Oman and has always played an industry-leading role. Its active support in

concentrating its activities towards Duqm and urging its contractors to follow its example will be a catalyst for our further growth.

“Both companies are looking forward for the full support of their suppliers and the authorities in order to achieve a successful transition.”
