    Project: FERA and Flare Minimisation Project
    Client: Zueitina Oil Company
     
    ARC conducted a study into operational and safety flaring systems at a number of crude oil and LPG facilities in Libya. In order to prioritise modifications to old plants the hazardous inventories and fault conditions were identified by HAZID and the representative fault cases carried forward into a consequence assessment. The requirements for flaring were identified and the suitability of the current systems reviewed against company guidance and appropriate codes and standards by means of a gap analysis. Options to reduce operational flaring were identified and developed to allow option selection.
     
     
    Project: Procedural Development for Commercial Agreements between Innovene & BP
    Client: BP Grangemouth
     
    ARC was responsible for the development of procedures which covered key business processes and activities between BP and Innovene. This project involved reviewing legal documents, identifying key business processes and meeting with key personnel to identify each progressive step of the process before documenting them in an agreed format. Each procedure was then subjected to internal and client review to ensure that each procedure was as accurate as possible.
     
    Project: K6 Gap Analysis Project
    Client: TOTAL
     
    In considering the re-use of the K6 Production facilities, Total requested ARC conduct a GAP analysis to evaluate the current status of the facilities against Total standards and local regulations (Atex, PED, Arbo, Mining regulations, etc).  The study included process, electrical, safety and environmental disciplines and provided recommendations for both downgraded situations and design gaps.
