A General Requirements
Depressurization is done slowly and safely after completion of test or on
GI-002.102,
A1 discovery of leaks. Bleed off the system slowly to an approved safe
Section 5.2.6
discharge area and monitor discharge.
Inspection ensures written procedures approved prior to testing are
followed upon disposal of any test medium containing chemical additives GI-002.102,
A2
for control of corrosion and bacteria. Section 5.2.7
Disposal methods follow SAEP-327, Section 3 requirements.
B Specific Disposal Requirements
New pipelines, and pipelines in gas service do not require oil/water SAEP-327,
B1
separation prior to wastewater discharge/disposal Section 3.2.1
Do not discharge wastewater to local wadi environments. Discharge
SAEP-327,
B2 separated wastewater to non-sabkhah areas into approved pits or to lined
Section 3.2.2
evaporation ponds constructed.
As far as possible locate the disposal site within the existing pipeline
corridor while ensuring adequate pipeline access and without causing SAEP-327,
B3
damage to the existing roadways, pipelines, private entities or other Section 3.2.3
structures
Do not dispose wastewater within or adjacent to wetland or sensitive SAEP-327,
B4
environments, including specified conservation areas Section 3.2.4
Disposal to Sabkhah
Discharge separated wastewater directly to the sabkhah for evaporation
provided that the wastewater remains on land, and does not flow directly
to the marine environment. An oil/water Separator Pond is required SAEP-327,
B5
before wastewater is discharged to sabkhah to ensure retention of Section 3.3
residual hydrocarbon for subsequent collection and proper handling.
Separator pond site is downwind to minimize exposure risk to nearby
facilities personnel.
Disposal to an Evaporation Pond
Oil/water separator ponds are required upstream of evaporation ponds to SAEP-327,
B6
collect residual hydrocarbon and improve evaporation in the evaporation Section 3.4
ponds.
Disposal to Industrial Wastewater Treatment Plant
Discharge wastewater directly to the local industrial wastewater treatment
SAEP-327,
B7 plant if disposal does not affect the normal operations of the plant. Obtain
Section 3.5
concurrence from the operators of the treatment plant prior to selection of
this disposal option.
Page 1 of 3
Disposal to Injection Well
Dispose wastewater into injection wells if it does not affect the well
operation. Obtain concurrence from the operators of the well prior to SAEP-327,
B8
selection of this disposal option. Injection well operators will provide water Section 3.6
quality criteria for any wastewater that will be introduced to their system
for disposal

Disposal Offshore
Dispose wastewater offshore to the Arabian Gulf or Red Sea per SAEP-
SAEP-327,
B9 327 Table 1 (See Excel Sh # 2 Att'd). Adequate dispersal of wastewater
Section 3.7
in marine environment by diffuser or similar method or transfer
wastewater onshore for treatment/disposal.
Biocides other than Troskil-1 (Polyhexamethylene biguanide
hydrochloride or PHMB) require evaluation & approval by EPD/EED prior SAEP-327,
B10
to disposal to the Arabian Gulf or the Red Sea. Section 3.7.1
Water Disposal Approval Form has been submitted
Dispose wastewater with Rhodamine B and TROS (fluorescent) dyes into
deep water, shallow water and embayment systems per SAEP-327 Table
SAEP-327,
B11 1 (See Excel Sh # 2 Attached). For other dyes provide toxicity data,
Section 3.7.2
submit Water Disposal Approval Form. Notify Frontier Force of any
discharges of dyes to sea to prevent alarm.
Use a spray nozzle to allow maximum oxygenation of discharge of waters SAEP-327,
B12
containing oxygen scavenger added Section 3.7.3
Submit Water Disposal Approval Form and obtain approval from
SAEP-327,
B13 EPD/EED before discharge of any wastewater to embayments and/or
Section 3.7.4
conservation areas in the Arabian Gulf
Discharge of contaminated wastewaters follows SAES-A-103.
A) Discharge locations are where water columns are
deepest. B) Discharge there is as close to the
water surface as practicable. C) If only oxygen SAEP-327,
B14
scavenger is used, discharge is into the air and discharge rate is less than Section 3.7.5
five cubic meters per minute D)
Alternatively, SAES-A-104 allows injection of wastewater into any
petroleum reservoir producing hydrocarbons.
Submit Water Disposal Approval Form and obtain approval from SAEP-327,
B15
EPD/EED before disposal of wastewater to the Red Sea Section 3.7.6
For pipelines, dewatering is performed by scraping. If sea water was
used for testing a pipeline, remove salt deposits by scraping with slugs of
SAES-A-007 Para
B16 water containing less than 4500 mg/L total dissolved solids until the water
5.2.3.3
soluble sulfates and chlorides on the steel surface at the drain or outlet
end are reduced to <80 mg/m².
