SKEC invites the proposal Irom qualiIied consultants Ior the preparation oI a planning
study, preliminary and detail engineering, and consulting services related to the
development oI breakwater & the combined jetty system Ior the new Hadramount
ReIinery project in the vicinity oI the Canadian Nexen Crude Oil Terminal located on the
GulI oI Aden in Yemen.

1.0 BACKGROUND

Hadramout ReIineries Company Ltd (HRC) will develop, own and operate a 40,000 barrel
per day oil reIinery in the Govern orate oI Hadramout, with the right to increase the
capacity to any level, subject to availability oI additional crude quantities Irom Yemen or
elsewhere.
The reIinery will be located at Aldhaba a site close to the city oI Al Mukalla, on the
Arabian Sea coast oI the Republic oI Yemen (see 'Site Location Map or '3784A - Ash
Shihr Terminal in attachment). The new reIinery will process the Masila Blend crude oil,
delivered Iorm existing adjacent export pipeline and terminal Iacilities. The Government
oI the Republic oI Yemen has undertaken to supply the reIinery the Masila Blend crude
oil Ior its entitlement, and to purchase Irom the reIinery all gasoline, kerosene, diesel and
Iuel oil required to supply to the domestic market in the Hadramout and Al Mahara
regions. Products surplus to the regional demand will be exported to other markets in the
Middle East, South and Southeast Asia, East AIrica or Europe.

2.0 SCOPE OF WORK

2.1 General

SKEC will perIorm the engineering and construction works Ior the new
Hadramout ReIinery Project as an EPC contractor. SKEC intends to develop the

land.

SKEC will retain a consultant to assist with:
- providing guidance to SKEC in its marine Iacilities development decision-
making process
- providing planning, engineering services to develop a conceptual and
subsequently detailed design oI the new combined jetty and breakwater
system (ReIer to 'Supplementary Design Criteria Ior Marine Eacilities
Works).

The consultant`s report will include, amongst other thing:


Phase I

(c) Consideration oI environmental impacts at the marine Iacilities

Phase II

(a) Preparation oI a concept plan(s) Ior the new combined jetty with breakwater
system which will include:

- Determination oI design parameters Ior the system
- Hydraulic model analysis and design concepts oI breakwater to assess the
eIIects oI reIraction, shoaling, diIIraction, and breaking, as the waves
propagate over the complex bathymetry oI the new marine Iacilities.
- Hydraulic and other loadings and design concepts Ior the combined jetty
- Location and layout oI the new combined jetty with breakwater system


Phase III

(a) Preparation oI a detailed engineering Ior the new combined jetty with
breakwater system which will include:
