Introduction

The aim of Internship program is gain field experience in areas related to my major.

That what I got during my Internship program. I practiced communication skills,

critical thinking and technical problem solving methods to execute engineering

projects in an industry setting. I learned to apply theoretical engineering skills

gained in academia into real-world engineering problems. I Learned business,

financial and economic aspects of field engineering practice. In this report I will talk

about the company that worked in which is Saudi Aramco and The department in

which I worked. I will provide the activities and responsibilities I have done during

my Internship program. Then I will mention the Major tasks or projects that I did

and the objective of this tasks.

The Company

Aramco History:

The roots of Saudi Aramco go back nearly seven decades. In 1933, shortly after Saudi

Arabia was unified, the Government granted a concession to Standard Oil of

California who recognized the potential of oil as a valuable export commodity and a

source of revenue to begin building our nation. Standard Oil of California, the parent

company of Chevron, was joined later by several other major oil companies and the

venture became known as Aramco - the Arabian American Oil Company. In 1938,

after five long years of exploration, oil was discovered in commercial volume when a

well named Dammam Number 7, near today's headquarters in Dhahran, began to flow

-- and ushered in a new era for Saudi Arabia. Things moved quickly, and in 1939

King 'Abd al-'Aziz visited Ras Tanura to inaugurate the first shipload of Saudi crude

oil ever exported. The young Kingdom was now officially launched into the

international petroleum industry.

Corporate Mission:

Saudi Aramco's mission as an integrated international company is to engage in all

activities related to the hydrocarbon industry, on a commercial basis and for the

purpose of profit.

MAXIMIZE PROFITABILITY:

The company is continuously striving to maximize profitability by focusing on

achieving maximum returns from Company assets. Maximizing profitability entails

6

both revenue enhancement and cost reduction. The Company can achieve revenue

enhancement through the capture of new business opportunities related to its core oil

and gas business, enhancement of efficiency and effectiveness in conducting business

and optimization of the business portfolio. The Company can lower the total cost of

production by prudent management of resources, capturing synergies and leveraging

existing investments in people, processes and technology. The overall return on assets

will be maximized by reducing cost, enhancing facilities utilization and identifying

equipment inefficiencies to increase capacity, availability and yield.

REMAIN A RELIABLE SUPPLIER OF OIL AND GAS:

This objective focuses on the Company’s ability to meet global and national

commitments for both Oil and Gas. This objective can be achieved through

enhancements in reserves and production capabilities, operational reliability of

facilities, and improvements in logistics. The Company will intensify its efforts to

grow the Kingdom’s hydrocarbon reserves and continually upgrade its operational and

logistical capabilities. At the same time, the Company recognizes that reliability and

maintainability are increasingly important elements in its day-to-day business. In

order to remain a reliable supplier of Oil and Gas and achieve world class operational

excellence, efforts will be made to systematically measure, analyze and improve

drivers of key operational metrics.

PREPARE THE WORK FORCE FOR THE FUTURE:

One of the most important factors of Saudi Aramco’s success is its ability to attract

and retain highly skilled and motivated workforce to meet its current and future work

requirements. The Company needs to carefully rethink its future labor needs and what

it is doing today to attract and develop top talent and ensure leadership for the future

in light of changing demographics, an aging workforce, global sourcing for new

workforce members, changing business models and increasing complexity of

operations.

About my Department (Loss Prevention Department)

DHALPD observed many safety infractions over the course of several site visits to the

District Cooling Project contractor laydown yard. We noted a less than adequate yard

layout, poor fire prevention equipment maintenance, a lack of adequate dust control

and no approved traffic flow plan. We also observed unsafe practices within the yard

such as congested storage areas, improper storage of flammable and combustible

materials. Our findings were entered into the site safety log book and were also

communicated to Utilities Department and the contractor during the weekly project

progress meeting. We recommended temporary closure of the laydown yard until the

outstanding items are rectified.

Summary:

In the last two weeks from June 30 until July 13, I had many activities that I did

during this period. I have been introduced to the field survey and I had a site visit to

some projects in Saudi Aramco. I participated to the schedule of Quarterly Safety

Inspections (QSI), and Work Permit at some departments I will mention it later in this

report. Also I had an introduction to the preparation of QSI report, and introduction to

Safety Management System (SMS), Loss prevention Department General instructions

(GIs), and construction Safety Manual and Overview on Construction Site Safety

Program.

Background:

Quarterly Safety Inspections (QSI)

To provide guidelines relative to Saudi Aramco requirements to conduct Quarterly

Safety Inspections (QSI) of facilities, equipment, and work areas to detect and correct

unsafe practices and conditions.

Responsibilities:

4) Proponent Department:

knowledgeable people using proper procedures can perform work tasks efficiently and

safely. The Saudi Aramco work permit procedure is important in maintaining a safe

work environment and is a requirement for all Saudi Aramco jobs in restricted areas.

Work permits must be obtained from the appropriate operations supervisor before

excavation work is started in any Saudi Aramco facility, including residential areas

and roadways, and in any place where the presence of underground/utility

obstructions is known or suspected. Outside of clearly defined responsibility areas,

work permits shall be obtained from the Superintendent, Utilities and the

Communications Foreman, Oil and Gas Dispatch Unit or their delegated

representatives. A Confined Space Entry Work Permit is a second work permit and is

Summary:

In the last two weeks from July 14 until July 25, I had many activities that I did

during this period. I have been introduced to the field survey and I had a site visit and

did inspections in the plants of Saudi Aramco. I participated to the schedule of

Quarterly Safety Inspections (QSI), and Work Permit at some departments I will

mention it later in this report. I attended a Safe Operations Committee (SOC)

Meetings in some departments. I participated to site inspection and conduct work

permit survey at Dhahran District Cooling Project. In this report I will provide a listed

of highlights for these last two weeks.

Background:

PLANT OPERATIONS

The safe processing and movement of oil from underground to ship or transmission

pipeline is the primary Saudi Aramco objective. Any construction operation which

could affect the safety of oil processing and movement must be planned and

performed in accordance with the operating procedures of the area in which the job is

located.

Every plant area in Saudi Aramco operations has a specific set of operating

instructions and the operating supervisor for that area has full responsibility for safety

precautions. With this responsibility, he also has authority to issue work permits and

stop any work if it is not in accordance with proper procedures.

It is therefore necessary for anyone expecting to work in an area where oil or gas is

handled to know the rules and regulations and obey them.

Failure to follow the operating rules can result in not only destruction of Saudi

Aramco property but also death of construction and operating personnel. This type of

disaster must be prevented.

29

Contractor Site Safety Program (CSSP)

Contractor shall properly plan and establish job-specific safe work procedures for all

contracted work. For long form capital project construction contracts where SA

Project Management is the proponent or as requested in writing by the SAPO, the

contractor shall develop, implement and adhere to a job-specific contractor site safety

program (CSSP) that conforms to the requirements of the contract, this document and

all other applicable SA safety requirements. If requested by the SAPO, the contractor

shall submit a supplementary detailed safety plan as may be needed before starting a

new major phase of work.

Hazard Identification Plan (HIP)

For all SA contracts (e.g., long form, mid form and short form contracts), the

contractor and/or their subcontractor(s) shall develop, implement and adhere to a

contract-specific HIP. The HIP shall list all tasks/activities associated with the

contracted work, potential hazards of each activity and control measures to mitigate

these hazards. The contractor’s HIP shall identify all potential hazards associated with

the work to be performed. The HIP shall not be a list of generic hazards.

Progress:

Infractions at District Cooling Project Contractor Laydown Yard

DHALPD observed many safety infractions over the course of several site visits to the

District Cooling Project contractor laydown yard. We noted a less than adequate yard

layout, poor fire prevention equipment maintenance, a lack of adequate dust control

and no approved traffic flow plan. We also observed unsafe practices within the yard

such as congested storage areas, improper storage of flammable and combustible

materials. Our findings were entered into the site safety log book and were also

communicated to Utilities Department and the contractor during the weekly project

progress meeting. We recommended temporary closure of the laydown yard until the

outstanding items are rectified.

30

Work Permit Infractions at Dhahran District Cooling Project Sites

DHALPD conducted work permit reviews at Dhahran District Cooling project sites

within Dhahran community. We noted infractions such as work permit receiver or

delegate not at the work site, improper storage of flammable materials, lack of

excavation barricades, and workers standing at the edge of excavations that were not

barricaded. We notified Utilities Department and contractor representatives of these

infractions and advised that immediate corrective measures be taken. Furthermore, all

infractions were discussed during the contractor weekly safety meeting.

Safe Operations Committee Meetings

DHALPD attended the Safe Operations Committee (SOC) meetings held at EXPEC

Network Operations Department and Materials Planning & Services Department. We

presented and promoted the information related to the “Injury Prevention Workshop

for Non-Industrial Supervisors”. We also presented an “SOC Overview” topic and

encouraged the management of the two departments to align their SOCs with SMS

element #1.
