1.0 INTRODUCTION

1.1 Overview

This Bi-annual environmental monitoring report encompasses the status of Rehabilitation and Well Testing Services of Eight Gas Wells in Jurquduq and Yatimtaq Gas Fields. (these gas fields are located more than 18 km from Sheberghan city in a desert area). The project is financed by the Asian Development Bank (ADB) under Tranche 1, the project focus is rehabilitation of 8 gas wells at Sheberghan Gas Fields of Jawzjan province. The Executive Agency (EA) for the project is Ministry of Mines and Petroleum. Grant Agreement was signed between Ministry of Finance (MoF) and ADB on 26 February 2009. Project Management Office (PMO) was subsequently established in the Ministry of Mines and Petroleum (MoMP) in 26 May 2009 in order to manage the physical implementation of the project. Project Purpose is as following:

x To increase the production of gas from sheberghan gas fields through rehabilitation of the existing gas wells. The gas produced by rehabilitated wells, will be used as feedstock for a Sheberghan Gas Fired Power Plant and to generate electricity in a planed thermal power plant.

x To generate clean, locally produced energy which cheap and economical for the

industries in the country.

x Promote economic development and contribute for poverty reduction by ensuring sustainable and reliable electricity supply.

x Enhancing the executive agency capacity on gas sector development projects.

1.2 Objectives and Methodology As the grant declared affective, MoMP hired Gustavson Associates, LLC a consulting firm to support PMO in preparing the IEE and EMP, Bidding Documents and to assist in supervision of implementation process of the project. In the structure of the consultancy firm an International Environmental Impact Assessment Specialist (Mr. Bricno Torge) was hired in order to draft IEE, EIA, Social and Resettlement Analysis reports of the project. Likewise Mr. Neseri Mirwais National Consultant of the firm was hired to assist in data collection and preparing the report. The firm completed the project pre-construction phase responsibility including preparing the IEE and LARP. At the end of pre-construction phase, the consulting firm assisted PMO in supervision of the first phase of the project by assigning it’s resident engineer through 2nd June 2012. The firm’s contract was terminated due to grave negligence. The supervision was delegated to a group of engineers of MoMP.

1

During the construction phase project was supervised based on request of PMO by designated Senior Gas Engineers and Safeguard specialists from Afghan Gas Enterprise (AGE) throughout physical and operational phase according to the provision of the contract. PMO with the support of the MoMP’s International Petroleum Advisors also monitored regularly the project. The monitoring process included regular site visits in order to investigate the project and fill the forms to make sure the contractor operates in accordance with International best practice and observes all safety procedures. During construction phase of the project, chronological report of physical works of the project included environmental and Safeguards reports along with technical work of the project. The environmental and safeguards plans were prepared by contractor and submitted to PMO for review and approval. As per usual process the plan was checked on daily, monthly and quarterly basis and monitoring mechanism was established to make sure contractor fully comply with the procedures. The rehabilitation works of the wells were comprised of different operations like gas well re-entry, well integrity investigation, logging, perforation of the gas bearing zones, run in hole production tubing string and well testing. The operation was observed by site engineers deployed by the EA and supervision consultant. The contractor was required to explain at the beginning of each above mentioned operations the safety procedures to the workers and stakeholders. I was confirmed on daily basis that the contractor confirmed with protocol and held a safety meeting and trained all well workover crew with the relevant HSE issues and using the personnel protective equipment according to the Environmental Monitoring and Management Plan. This report is aimed to provide information on the progress of implementing the Environmental Management Plan (EMP) and to evaluate the implementation of EMP during Rehabilitation and Testing Services of Eight Gas Wells of the Project in Jurquduq and Yatimtaq Gas fields. 1.3 Project Description

The project site is located 7 Km away from residential area (Fauna & Flora) and more than 15 km, from the Sheberghan City. The Project details are further elaborated in the Contract Number MOM/1428/ICB signed between MoMP and Turkish Petroleum Corporation (TPAO). The scope of work for the project is Rehabilitation and Testing Services of Eight Gas Wells of Jurquduq and Yatimtaq Gas Fields in Sheberghan.

1.4 Contract for Consulting Services. During the process of development and implementation of this project, Contractor, and Employer have concluded a Contract with an objective that, all specialists are qualified; Professional Contractor should provide to Employer with high quality of the construction, and as per Technical Proposals perform all necessary works in high level. The Project Management and Construction Supervision Consultants (CSC) and Employer will have the necessary education and experience in order to objectively asses the requirements of the project. Work is implemented as per Regulations of ADB, and Regulations of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan as well as in accordance with the Special Contract Conditions and Technical Specifications which are set by the Employer. Quality Control is an integral part of the CSC work. 1.5 Changes in Project Organization

The Executing Agency (EA) is the MoMP. In the very beginning PMO has established for managing and a consultancy firm (the Gustavson Associates, LLC) hired to support PMO to supervise the project implementation process. The resident engineer of the consultancy firm Mr. Ahmadi assisted PMO in monitoring and supervising the project implementation process until 2nd June 2012. When the contract duration of consultant firm (Gustavson Associates, LLC) expired, the Ministry did not extend their contract due to lack of performance. After expiration of Gustavson’s contract, the project was monitored by a designated professional team of engineers and safeguard specialist from MoMP. MoMP’s assigned technical experts from Afghan Gas Enterprise monitored /supervised performance of the contractor during the implementation of the project. The monitoring activities of the technical experts of Afghan Gas Enterprise continued until end the physical works of the project. The Contractor was sending PMO/MOMP the project works chronological report on daily base. All environmental and safeguard issues were addressed on daily plans. The management actions was incorporated in the mentioned chronological report of the project and followed carefully by the contractor.

1.6 Relationships with Contractors, Owner and Lender

Turkish Petroleum Corporation (TPAO) was performing its activities according to the contract provision and trained Afghan Gas Enterprise Specialist on well workover operations. During the project implementation process, relationship between construction contractor and EA was acceptable. The Contractor had provided MOMP daily work progress report included Environmental and Safeguards Management Action and also well works completion reports. The completion reports were reviewed by EA and approval. As the consulting company (Gustavson associates, LLC) performances were non acceptable to MOMP, the unpleasant relationship between MOMP and consulting firm resulted in the cancellation of their contract.

2.0 Consideration of Social and Environmental Safeguards during Project Preparation

At the time of feasibility study of the project, the Gustavson Associates, LLC the consultancy firm was deputed to survey and prepare IEE and LARP of the Project. As part of detailed project preparation, environmental assessment and other reports (IEE) and LARP were

3

prepared by the above mentioned firm which was engaged for this job by MOMP. The IEE an LARP had been approved by National Environmental Protection Agency and ADB.

2.1 Environmental Monitoring Work Coordination

The contract was required to submit daily Workover plan including the environmental and Safeguard action plans to EA for comments and approval. These reports were overseen by Afghan Gas Experts who were stationed in the site to perform daily monitoring of the project and periodically by PMO experts along with MOMP’s International Petroleum Consultants in accordance to the requirements of the project Initial Examination Environmental (IEE) and Environmental Mitigation Plan.

Fortunately, based on the IEE in the project site there were no existing cultural and environmental protected areas. Such areas does not exist in or near the Sheberghan Gas Field Projects. These sites during implementation of the first phase of the project were considered and it’s characteristics are as following:

1. Both site of the project (Jarquduq and Yatimtaq gas fields) are located in the remote desert areas and are covered by loess and find gains sand; considering the project site location and soil type, there were no sensible environmental impacts for the fields’ vegetation, rodents and reptiles.

2. The project scope of work is covered rehabilitation of those well which were drilled and cased by different casings to seal the borehole geological formation cross section and prevent influx the formations fluids into the well and also the drilling/workover fluid into the aquifer or ground water.

3. Well flow test was included in the project scope of works. This flow test covered a very

short time (3 or 4 days); during the well flow test, each well has been operated (flowing) periodically for some hours. As the gas of these wells is sour gas having H2S and CO2. For such composition of gas and type of operation (only well testing) venting and flaring the gas through a flare line was perceived as best practice and it has been approved in IEE by NEPA and less costly way for disposal of sure gas. The other options for disposal of the sour/ acidic gas which is injection it into the subsurface (depleted gas producing well) is not a good option for well test.

4. For each crew of well workover operations, the contractor’s HSE Specialist was available

in the camp and well site for controlling workers safety measures, examine and analyzing personnel protective equipment used by labors in the workover rig and surrounding site area. And also he was responsible to oversee and take prompt action for mitigation impacts and control the environmental events arising from well rehabilitation activities; and report to the construction supervision team to coordinate efforts and make decision for the mentioned environmental events.

5. As the project areas were located in the remote desert and semi-mountainous areas

therefore, there was no any negative impacts for the indigenous community like losing housing, strip of land, crops, trees and other fixed assets owned or controlled by individual indigenous households.

4

6. During the implementation of the project no incident were reported. Contractor had installed all protective equipment to check the quality of gas in the air like monometers etc.

7. Contractor fully complied with Environmental regulations of Afghanistan and the Safeguard

Policy of ADB. .

2.2 Development of Environmental Management Plan.

The Gustavson Consultant Firm has prepared the IEE report in the good manner during feasibility study of the project. The supervision consultant continued to monitor the project up until 2nd June 2012, after that the EA deployed the experts from Afghan Gas Enterprise to monitor the Environmental, Safeguard and Technical issues of the project. The IEE which was prepared during prefeasibility stage was helpful and useful in the following ways:

x It provides the basic information about the environmental conditions of the project area and the potential environmental impacts.

x It renders the recommendations to mitigate potential environmental impacts and describes how to implement in the environmental management plan.

x It provides guidance on how the environmental monitoring has to be carried out.

x It indicates what kind of environmental statutory clearance will need to be obtained.

2.3 Preparation of Bid Documents:

The Environmental Management Plan (EMP) covers the information of potential environmental impacts. The proposed mitigation measures for the rehabilitation and testing services of eight gas wells in Jarquduq and Yatimtaq gas fields have been provided in the bidding documents. In addition to the EMP that was provided to the Bidders, the bidding document also includes some detailed instructions on this subject highlighting the following:

x Precautions to be adopted during disposal of solid wastes

x Precautions to be adopted at sanitation and housekeeping at the labor construction

camp such as toilets, hygiene, water supply, waste disposal, first aid and maintenance.

x Measurement and maintenance of the air quality standard.

x Measurement and maintenance of the noise and vibration quality standard. x Monitoring of the primary water quality standard including physical and chemical

properties of drinking water. The Contractor's response to the instruction given for environmental impacts associated with the construction activities is moderate to satisfactory to EA.

5

The contract document includes detailed terms and conditions regarding the safeguard issues and implementation of the Environmental Management and Monitoring Plans that has to be adhered and implement by the Contractor.

2.4 Environmental Statutory Approval

Prior to commencing civil works all the required statutory approvals has been obtained (ESDIP Project- 1 classified by ADB as a ‘B’ Category project) from the NEPA.

3.0 PROGRESS AND QUALITY CONTROL

A daily based, chronological reports of well rehabilitation works were prepared by contractor and sent to PMO for review and approval. These reports were including Environmental and Safeguard Management Actions Reports. The contractor was responsible to include HSE report (roles/procedures) applied by contractor at the well head site and comp sites. Since the project included wells that were drilled and cased safely with casings during the Former Soviet Union era, therefore all the required roads from well to well were graveled/paved on that time. The project comp sites constructed by contractor as per the project requirements, the contractor was considered all facilities according to the project environmental management plan. As the project site was completely a desert area and covered the government owned land therefore, there was no any land acquisition issue to be reflected in this report. The other feature to be reflected in this report are:

x Mobilization of construction machinery and vehicles, the availability of permits, IEE. x Environmental monitoring programs and EMP. x Iinformation on the progress of construction works. Implementation of EMMP and

environmental monitoring, 3.1 Implementation of Environmental Safeguards during Construction

Environmental safeguard issues were considered/performed during implementation of the rehabilitation and testing services of (8) gas wells in Jarquduq and Yatimtaq gas field: Well work completion program: Turkish Petroleum Corporation (TPAO) the contractor considered the following issues for each well works Completion Program. This program review by PMO and commented (if required).

¾ The gas field history and formation ¾ Reference lengths and casing data ¾ Reservoir parameter ¾ Well schematics ¾ Completion program summary

6

¾ Equipment and services list and the main point was: ¾ Holding safety meeting for each Workover Rig Crew before staring each type of

Workover services. In this reports its recommended that all personnel should be trained to use the required well head tools and equipment and also personal protective equipment should be properly utilized and take care all HSE rules and procedures during the each type of services. The above mentioned points overseen by Afghan Gas specialist and time by time through PMO/MOMP specialists as well. We observed that the contractor is following all Environmental and Safeguard issues diligently and in accordance with the established procedures. 3.2 Rehabilitation and Well Testing Services of (8) Gas Wells In Jarquduq and Yatimtaq Design Activities: The contract covered rehabilitation and testing services of 8 wells. All these wells were already designed, drilled and equipped by deferent casings as the gas producing wells; during the former Soviet Union Era. The construction work plan of 8 gas well, prepared by contractor is reviewed and approved by EA for each well in accordance with provisions of the contract and work requirement. Procurement: The contractor TPAO submitted the relevant document for EA to review and approval for procurement issues. Site works: According to the design and work program, TPAO commenced and developed their physical operations. There was no any LARP issue in the project site. Consultant Services for this Period As the Gustavso Associates (the consulting firm) performances were not acceptable to EA, their relevant works stopped by MOMP at the end of construction phase; afterward all major decisions mad by a technical committee comprised of relevant departments specialist and Ministry. EA provided project with International Advisor of Hydrocarbon sector to supplement the Afghan Gas Enterprise experts. All technical decision and any environmental and Safeguard issues were reviewed by board of expert provided by the Ministry and decision were given to the contractor to follow. During the construction phase of the project, TPAO (the contractor) was responsible for completion works. Afghan gas technical specialists along with PMO staffs monitored TPAO activities and reporting. 4.0 Environmental Management Plan The environmental monitoring plan describes the monitoring activities to ensure that adverse environmental impacts are minimized, and the overall EMP implemented. The environmental monitoring plan covers selected parameters to indicate the level of environmental impacts. It

7

also describes nature and magnitude of monitoring activities to be undertaken. The environmental monitoring elements of the plan are intended to support the determination of the potential effects on specific resources resulting from project activities. In addition to the actual environmental impacts associated with the construction, operation, decommissioning, and closure of project facilities, the environmental monitoring elements are designed to generate defensible data that can be as following;

x Serve as supplemental baseline data; x Be used to ensure that construction, operation, decommissioning, and closure

activities proceed as required; x Support accurate determinations or predictions of residual impacts; x Help identify unacceptable impacts, thereby enabling the implementation of

supplementary mitigation and/or corrective and preventive actions in a timely manner; x Demonstrate continued compliance with applicable environment legislation,policies,

and guidelines as well as specific permit/license requirements; x Support the investigation of environmental incidents and the determination of

appropriate corrective and preventive actions; and support appropriate responses to specific complaints or requests for information from the general public, regulatory agencies, or other external stakeholders.

Environmental and social monitoring activities for the operational phase of the Project will include the monitoring of air quality; surface water, groundwater, and potable water quantity and quality; noise and vibration; bio data; soil, tailings, and waste rock chemistry; to address potential impacts of operation. Ongoing environmental inspections will be conducted, and associated environmental monitoring and social performance data will be collected in order to:

x Identify changes or potential impacts to the environment and/or adjacent x Communities resulting from the daily operation of the mine; x Provide the basis for potential environmental or social impacts; x Potentially adverse environmental and social impacts;

4.1 Environmental Safeguards Staffing The Project Management Office (PMO) is implementing management of project execution. The physical work of the project was monitored by Gustavson consultant till June 2012 and after the expire consultants contract the project was monitored by designated team of MoMP. The team was comprised of Afghan Gas Enterprise engineers and MoMP’s International advisors. PMO is currently recruiting a National Safeguard Specialist for the second phase of the project. 4.2 PMO External Impact and Resettlement Component

As we mentioned that the project implementation area is located about 7Km away from the nearest residential and agriculture area therefore resettlement is not applicable in this project.

5.0 Environmental Monitoring:

8

5.1 Overview During this period, well workover activities were well performed. The salient features of the environmental compliance monitoring are reflected below. 5.2 Air Quality

All construction activities are being executed so as to minimize if not totally eliminates the spreading of dust or any inconvenience and nuisance to those who lived in the camp/site. The well testing was one of the major item of the contract for each well. It was included to identify the well productivity. Both sites of the project (Jarquduq and Yatimtaq) have sour gas fields. It means a small amount of H2S and CO2 existed in the gas composition. Since the target wells flow test covered very short – time and flaring the gas through flare line was the only less costly method to prevent missioning of H2S into the air and mitigate the air pollutants. By flaring H2S, the air quality would be effected very slightly and for a short-time. As the workover rig was installed on the well head and there was no vehicular movements from place to place therefore, there was no dust to pollutant the air quality. There was small fugitive dust during transportation the rig and equipment to the project sites and also the rig inter move from well to well but these emissions had no measureable impact on the ambient air quality. 5.3 Noise and Vibration Noise and vibration generated by machinery operation, movement and transportation. Generally, it covered the workover rig operation surrounding areas of the well head and along both side of the roads connected to the project sites and the roads from one well to another. Since the project related areas are located in the desert and semi-mountainous regions therefore, there was no any sensible negligible impacts to residents. The camp area was also located away around 1.5 km from the workover rig site (where there was no noise and vibration generated from workover operation. There was no other sensible noise and vibration impact around the camp site. 5.4 Water Quality

All the target well were designed, drilled and cased with deferent types of casings like conductor, surface, shallow intermediate, deep intermediate and production casings and behind of all these types casings are sealed/cemented to prevent influx of formation or ground water into the well workover fluid into formation water or into the aquifer. As, such there has been no experience of polluting the water bearing zones. 5.5 Flora and Fauna Monitoring

Yatimtaq gas field is a semi-mountainous and Jarquduq gas field is located in a desert area. There was no a measureable negative impact for flora and fauna in the mentioned sites to be reflected in this report.

6.0 Environmental Management 6.1 EMP, SSEMP and Work Plans

The assessment of compliance with the Environment Management Plan (EMP) commenced with the review of the environmental management conditions required for compliance during the construction stage of the project. As the site was away about 7 Km from the residential and agricultural area and covered by desert and semi-mountainous areas hence there were no measureable risk, negligible impact in the Health, Safety and Environmental aspects. 6.2 Site Inspections

Site inspections and surveys has been conducted by international consultants of the Ministry of Mines and Petroleum to verify the effectiveness of environmental protection measures in achieving the results specified in the environmental management plan (EMP).

6.3 Non-compliance notices

During this period non – compliance notices have not been observed regarding missing Safety Equipments (PPE) Personnel Protective Equipments.

6.4 Consultation and Complaints

No complaints were received during this reporting period.

6.5 Environmental Control The environmental control includes items such as:

12

x Holding a safety meeting for training all personnel or rig crew with any type workover

operations x Checking all well head equipment to know to leakage the well head equipment and

take remedial action to fix the leakage. x Available detection device to use by all personnel in workover rig site x Existing the warning alarm devices (audible and visual types) in the well workover rig

and comp sites x Using the personal protective devices by all personnel in the project site x Using Blowout preventer (BOP) for safe rehabilitation of the project targeted wells. x Using flare line to mitigate negative impact of H2S to the air quality

6.6 Safety Control Significant emphasis was placed on the need to maintain the safety and health of all construction personnel and the protection of all property on or near the project sites. To this end adequate PPE. (Shoes, goggles, helmet, hearing protection) has been provided on site for the use of all workers. 6.0 Conclusions And Recommendations

As the project implementation area was in the desert which was about 7Km for away from fauna flora so we can conclude that during this period, the environmental monitoring is generally proceeding successfully. The findings of the results of air quality, water quality and noise vibration levels are within the reference standards of the NEPA. During construction of most infrastructure projects air quality is likely to be degraded by exhaust emissions from the operation of construction machinery; and dust generated from earth works, approach roads, exposed soil material Stockpiles. Air quality is not impacted by any activity during operations. The air pollution is limited during the construction phase and it is very short-term and of low impact. 7.1 Recommendations: In order to mitigate the negative impacts on air quality, the following is being implemented:

a) Construction equipment shall be maintained to a good standard b) Well test is covered a short-time period therefor disposal of H2S is recommended with

flaring sour gas through flare line. But this method of H2S would not be applied during the rehabilitated wells operation phase. Since the operation phase of these well would be covered along term period, therefore during this period the H2S and CO2 should be remove from gas stream and safely injected into the gas depleted or other exploration wells or a Claus plant will be installed to recover elemental solid sulfur for deferent purposed in sulfur industries.

13

c) Overall the project did proceed towards a successful completion as reflected by the status of implementation.

7.2 Conclusions The Technical Engineer from PMO and Afghan Gas Enterprise Gas Experts along with International Petroleum Advisor’s of the Ministry of Mines and Petroleum had regularly visited the project sites and observed no disturbance to the people in the camp and no incidents occurred during the operation and implementation of the project. All the activities from environmental and social and safeguard aspects were conducted in compliance with regulation of government of Afghanistan and ADB’s safeguard policies satisfactorily. 8.

1) JARQUDUQ FIELD HISTORY AND FORMATION

Jarquduq gas field is located 9 km. south-southwest of the city of Sheberghan.

Geologically, the field is located on a board, generally symmetrical domal

structure that is cut by several parallel northwest-southesat faults on its

northeastern flank as well as by an east-west fault along its crest. All of the faults

are normal faults with down-to-the north or to-the-northeast displacements

ranging from 40-100 meters. Although none of the faults are critical to the

trapping, the main NW-SE fault along the north flank appears to control the

slightly different elevations of the gas water contacts in the main and northern

fault blocks at the main Lower Cretaceous Hauterivian productive horizon. The

faults cut all of the Cretaceous formations as well as the deeper Jurassic reservoir.

The two productive horizons at Jarquduq gas field are the Lower Cretaceous

(Hauterivian Zone XIV) sandstone reservoir and the Jurassic Kugitan reefal

carbonate reservoirs (Zones XV,XVI). The two horizons are seperated by Upper

Jurassic evaporates. The Hauterivian reservoir has been the main producing

horizon date, having been developed with the most wells by the Russians. The

Jurassic reservoir have not yet been fully developed. Structural closure at the top

of the Hauterivian horizon is approximately 210 meter and the height of the

mapped gas column is 160 meters indicating that the structure is approximately

76% filled to spill point for the Hauterivian reservoir.

The well hasn’t been produce natural gas long time period. There is connection

between annulus(3 ½” tubing- 6 5/8” casing) and tubing. Pressures is same: 3558

psi according to Afghan Gas. Annulus pressure 6 5/8” – 9 5/8” casing is 2700 psi.

X mass Tree is so old, it hasn’t been maintenance in this period. Valves are in bad

condition.

Drawback, high pressure and high temperature well, X mass tree has to be

change prior to move workover rig.

4) RECOMPLETION PROGRAM SUMMARY

Recompletion summary in operational steps:

1. Observe the well head pressure, record, Check out 6 5/8”-9 5/8” annulus, record

pressure.

2. Kill the well w/85 ppcf CaCl2 brine. There are three scenerios.

a) If Sliding Sleeve is open

x Bleed pressure of 3-1/2” production string and 6-5/8” casing – 3-1/2”

tubing annulus

x Reverse circulation w/ 84 ppcf CaCl2 brine on choke line

b) If Sliding Sleeve is close and perforation is acceptable by MoM

x Perforate the tubing above the packer

x Bleed pressure of 3-1/2” production string and 6-5/8” casing – 3-1/2”

tubing annulus

x Reverse circulation w/ 84 ppcf CaCl2 brine on choke line

x The perforated tubing should be changed after killing well

c) If Sliding Sleeve is close and perforation is not acceptable

x The well will be killed w/ wait and weight method. But this methods take

so much time.

3. Flow Check, function test BOPs, if there isn’t any flow N/D X-Mass Tree, N/U

Double Ram BOP and Annular BOP, PT BOP Stack @min 4000 psi 15 min.

4. Unlatch stinger from packer and circulate bottom up two times, observe circulation

lost and record, If not unlatch stringer from packer. R/U log equipment and RIH

w/ cutter. Cut the string above stringer and circulate bottoms up two times.

5. Flow Check, POOH production string.

6. N/U Wireline BOP, Perform CBL-VDL LOG and if there is any leakage at annulus

test (ref. Step-1) RIH w/ RBP-RTTS packer to do selective casing test.

7. A) If there is any leakage at casing remedial cement operation would be done,

B) If Casing test is ok @1000 psi, POOH RTTS-RBP Packers,

8. According to CBL VDL log cement operation would be done for shut of gas leakage

between 6 5/8”- 9 5/8” casing. It would be made remedial perforation prior to

cement operation. If stringer couldn’t unlatch from packer. RIH w/milling tool and

7/10

mill string to above packer. POOH w/ milling tool. RIH w/ milling and Retrieving

tool, drill out production packer, circulate the hole with brine. POOH w/ MaRT.

9. RIH w/ open ended tbg for cementing operation, Cement operation will be

discussed PMO Ministry of Mines&Petroleum.

10. Remedial cementing operation for gas leakage at annulus. It will decided exact

depth of remedial perforation after performing CBL VDL GR log.

11. POOH w/open ended tbg s,

12. RIH w/ 5 5/8’’ bit and at top of cement PT@1000 psi than drill out cement plug,

13. Circulate bottom up two times w/ clean brine,

14. POOH w/ 5 5/8’’ bit and working string, L/D working string single by single,

15. RIH w/ Seal latch & production string, If production packer has been drilled RIH

with new permanent production packer.

16. Filled Up annulus w/ corrosion inhibitor(CRW85144), Set Packer between m

according to the CBL-VDL log, Annulus test @1000 psı

17. Make up X-Mass Tree and test lines,

18. Test X-Mass Tree and test lines @ 4000 psi

29.Well test would be done according to PRODUCTION DEPARTMENT procedure

30.Handover well to the production department.

6) HSE During the operations all personnel will maintain the highest effort for the application

of HSE rules. All personnel must participate in safety meetings. This meeting will be

documented on a weekly safety meeting report form and this form will be conveyed to

TPAO HSE Department. Each department will maintain the highest standard of

housekeeping at all times.

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) shall always be used at work site. PPE is

defined as the safety equipment to be worn by an individual in order to prevent and

reduce the risk of accident or injury should a dangerous situation occur. PPE is to be

worn at all times when the individual is exposed to such risk but is not to be worn

within the accommodation areas. As a minimum, personnel are expected to wear the

following equipment when outside of the accommodation: Hard Hat, Safety Glasses,

Hearing Protection (if required), Coveralls, Steel Capped Work Boots, Gloves, Face

Shield, Disposable dust filter and apron when handling dangerous chemicals.

Within the scope of the operation a hazardous substance can include products which

are used or substances inherent to the well condition itself. Hazardous product

substances can either be solid, liquid, or gaseous. The proper storage, handling, and

disposal practices should be adhered to and understood prior to an operation. Through

10/10

the use of Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) and Control of Substances Hazardous to

Health (COSHH) assessments of these practices can be identified and established.

Pre-work meeting with the special service crew and others involved personnel to

review responsibilities and coordinate the operations to be performed.

All none essential workers to be kept out of the work area.
