INTRODUCTION

HISTORY About fifteen years ago, a boutique consulting firm called Co-design Training Services Inc. in Canada became aware of an Egyptian Consulting firm that seemed to share its philosophy, objectives and quality standards. After several very positive and successful collaborative experiences on development projects in the Middle East, a joint firm was established called ‘Co-design International Consulting Services Inc.’. This firm reflected the joint resources of both Co-design Training Services and Co-design Egypt. In early, 2006, the founders of Co-Design agreed to begin more active business development in Doha, Qatar. At that point, it was decided to create a new entity that better reflected this relationship. As a result we established MICA Qatar to serve the Qatari as well as the gulf region.

ABOUT MICA TRAINING In coherence with MICA Qatar vision and its custom dedication in meeting the customers’ demands, MICA has partnered with the recognized professional organizations in order to deliver the best consultancy and training services in Oil & Gas field. Our courses are provided by the best nominated trainers in the field, who have a proven hands-on-experience in their specialty areas as they come from different places across the world. MICA Qatar is proud to provide consultancy services and training programs designed and conducted by expertise who are highly familiar and knowledgeable of the Middle East Petroleum Industry. We can help you in studying and assessing the development needs in each department and hence design an integrated development program (technical and non-technical) for all concerned staff.

APPENDIX 2 SUCCESS STORIES PETROBEL PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE WITH PETROBEL IN TOTAL QUALITY MANAGEMENT IMPLEMENTATION

Co-design for Consulting Services had designed and established Total Quality Management System (TQMS) at Petrobel during the period from 1997-1999 on two phases covering the following activities:

1. ACTIVITY 1 - PETROBEL PREPARATION FOR TQM IMPLEMENTATION 1.1. CREATE PETROBEL TQM STEERING COMMITTEE

The Total Quality Management (TQM) steering committee was formed of: The organization's Top Managers Two Managing Directors The General Managers Staff with specialized talent at the TQM

The steering committee fully understood the organization’s strengths, weaknesses, attitudes and concerns. Co-Design worked closely with the steering committee, coaching its team in order to reach the set goals.

1.2. DEVELOP PETROBEL VISION STATEMENT, GUIDING PRINCIPLES AND SET BROAD OBJECTIVES

Co-Design Experts, in cooperation with the Steering Committee, defined and set Petrobel’s:

Vision statement Guiding principles Objectives

1.3. PETROBEL ORGANIZATION DEFINITIONS

Co-Design experts; with the cooperation of Line General Managers, Assistance-General managers, Sector Managers, Dept. Managers and Section Heads; defined the functions, responsibilities, and authorities for the whole organization.

The organization definitions issued in two levels: Level 1: for Petrobel as an organization down to General Departments Level 2: for each General Department down to their relevant Section

Heads

1.4. DEFINE PETROBEL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM FRAMEWORK Co-Design experts and the cooperation of Steering Committee, all in alignment with the defined vision and set goals for Petrobel, designed Petrobel’s Management System Framework which consisted of three main parts:

Management Main criteria

Detailed Actions These three main parts existed in two levels of manuals.



28

2. ACTIVITY 2 - TAILOR TQM IMPLEMENTATION It is well understood that no two organizations can implement the TQM in the same way. Hence, Co-Design Experts- cooperating with the Steering Committee and Departmental / Cross Functional Teams- tailored TQM implementation procedures for the special business nature of Petrobel.

2.1 FORMING TQM DEPARTMENT AND TEAMS

Co-Design experts, the Steering Committee and General Department Managers collaborated to establish the TQM department and form its teams.

Co-Design experts, General Department Managers and Steering Committee considered the following characteristics while choosing the team members:

Total quality advocate - Possessing desired technical skills - Unbiased in outlook - Got suitable Interpersonal Skills - Possessing desired experience - Team player - capable of bringing unique view point - Open minded - Posses good communication skills

2.2 DEPARTMENTAL TOP - LEVEL PROCESSES UNDERSTANDING

Co-Design experts in cooperation with Steering Committee and General Department Managers defined the top - level processes, which are essential to the improvement methodology. This has been clarified and clearly defined by drawing the top - level processes diagram the picture of the entire processes.

Top-Level processes diagram showed the input, the operation, and the output of the process, and then the process was measured to validate that it was achieving results.

2.3 DEPARTMENTAL - BUSINESS PROCESSES IDENTIFICATION

Hand-in-hand, Co-Design experts, Steering Committee and General Department Managers determined the performance of Petrobel by the basic business processes, which described how Petrobel was working across all of its locations and departments.

A joint teams of Petrobel and Co-Design Egypt identified Petrobel business processes through different channels; i.e. job descriptions, organization definition, in-depth interviews with employees in different levels (General Managers, Sector Managers, Department Managers, and Section Heads) covering all Petrobel departments and locations.

2.4 IDENTIFYING DEPARTMENTAL CRITICAL PROCESS

For each General Department, Co-Design Experts in cooperation with the departmental team identified the departmental critical process. The General Departmental Manager reviewed these processes before launching the improvement activities.

2.5 PLANNING THE IMPLEMENTATION

The departmental team with Co-Design experts proposed a schedule for the critical process improvement, in terms of its beginning, end, and content, so that all concerned parties (Steering Committee, Departmental General Managers) could understand what is expected.



29

3. ACTIVITY 3 - ISSUING TQM DOCUMENTATION

3.1 ISSUING DEPARTMENTAL POLICY Each General Department Manager with the department teams in cooperation with Co-Design Experts defined the departmental policy related to its relevant activities, tied to Petrobel overall business and supports Petrobel vision statement and guiding principles. The departmental policy included the following clauses:

Policy statement Policy objective Applicability Laws, regulations and other legal obligations

3.2 MAKING AND USING FLOWCHARTS It’s essential to construct the departmental business process in flowcharts as these flowcharts show the flow of the process as it moves through the various steps. The flowchart makes it easy to visualize the entire system, whereby once the process can be seen objectively in the flowchart, improvements can be easily identified.

So, the department teams in cooperation with Co-Design Experts went through the following five steps to construct the flowcharts for all business processes:

Agreed upon the flowchart symbols Defined the boundaries of the process Identified the process steps Constructed the flowchart Reviewed & approved the flowchart

3.3 ISSUING DEPARTMENTAL - OPERATIONAL PROCEDURES

The operational procedure is a series of related tasks which describes- in details- all steps required to perform certain process.

So, The General Department Managers in cooperation with Co-Design Experts defined the critical processes and issued Departmental - Operational Procedures (in the procedure format) indicating the following:

Procedures number Procedures title Activity description Responsible (job title) Prepared by, approved by, date and issue

3.4 ISSUING PETROBEL - BUSINESS PROCESSES SUMMERY The Departmental teams in cooperation with Co-Design Experts summarized all Petrobel business processes in spread sheets, indicating: the process number, issue, name, process owner (job title), process objective, short description, process initiation (input), final output, external supplier, external customer, related destination, and the number of other processes which were included in the concerned process.

3.5 ISSUING DEPARTMENTAL - DELEGATION OF AUTHORITY RULES Department teams and Co-Design Experts issued delegation of authority rules; these rules were reviewed and approved by the corresponding Department General Manager.



30

3.6 ISSUING DEPARTMENTAL - REPORTING OBLIGATION SYSTEM Both department teams and Co-Design Experts defined the obligations for issuing either external or internal formal reports, these obligations included:

The type of report Report frequency (daily, weekly, monthly… etc.) Defining who is responsible for preparing, reviewing and approving Report contents Report distribution

3.7 ISSUING PETROBEL - DOCUMENT RETENTION POLICY

As a joint team work, department teams and Co-Design Experts issued Petrobel document retention policy, which included:

Index records to ensure ready retrieval The storage duration for each record The suitable surrounding environment preventing damage or deterioration and to

safeguard against loss Maintenance ensuring legibility

(Note: records could be in the form of any type of medium, such as papers, films, magnetic tapes, floppy disc, CD... etc.)

Introduction to Seismic Stratigraphy

Course Description

One of the most revolutionary, most effective, yet most under-utilized tools introduced into exploration this century is that of seismic stratigraphy. It is not a tool exclusive to geophysicists; nor is it a tool only for geologists. Seismic stratigraphic techniques are based upon an integration of firm, well-established geological and geophysical fundamentals. When properly applied, seismic stratigraphy provides a powerful foundation for Geohistory analysis, helping describe a basin’s evolution and the resulting effects upon its spatial and temporal variation in hydrocarbon potential.

Course Description

Can I observe the reservoir on seismic? How large is the reservoir? Did the well cut a fault? Can seismic help me tie a set of wells? What kind of a structural trap did I drill into? Is the structure valid or a seismic artifact? Are these reflections real or multiples? How can I combine structural and stratigraphic interpretations to develop a structural and depositional history? How does seismic data acquisition and processing impact my interpretation? Will my well encounter hazards such as abnormal pressure or shallow gas? The participant learns to answer these and related questions by gaining an understanding of the seismic system, its limitations and pitfalls, and by interpreting 2-D and 3-D seismic examples of structural and stratigraphic features associated with actively producing hydrocarbon areas.

MICA English Language Training

Methodology Statement

The Training of RasGas employees will be centered around the teaching of target language required by employees in a global company such as RasGas, where the nomenclature of the industry must be understood and used across the International boundaries where the Company operates.

With this end in mind tailormade training materials prepared and tested by MICA subject matter experts will enhance and equip employees with the English communication skills required to equip the individuals themselves and more broadly to enrich the company for the competitive global marketplace in the 21st century.

Training System

All employees will undergo an entry test at the MICA Training Center in Doha to determine their level. The test will comprise of a written and spoken component. Employees will be placed according to their results in Elementary, Pre-intermediate or Intermediate levels. The decisions of the testing department will be final. Once placed in an appropriate group, employees will be furnished with MICA In-House Training Materials, a Schedule and Access to a workspace with a P.C and notebook and Pen (See Pg. 6). Every effort will be made to provide the Employee with a comfortable study environment. Where required, luncheon will be catered.

Course Content, Attendance and Reports

The Classes will run from 8:30 a.m to 1:30 p.m with two coffee breaks and a thirty (30) minute lunch break. When the Training is to take place at the MICA Training Centre in New Salata, Doha, RasGas Employees will be bussed to and from their place of employment.

The content of each course is a coursebook such as "Cutting Edge" to include workbook, tape cassette and multi-media material designed and tested at the MICA Training Center. Where the course calls for Microsoft Word and Excel training a separate module is provided. Attendance sheets furnished will be used by the instructor. The name and staff number of each employee is marked by the instructor with Present (P) Absent (A) or Late (L ). The latter will demonstrate how many minutes late the employee is.


Any Employee who fails to turn up for classes or who is in late on a regular basis will to be reported to the relevant department in RasGas. Progress Reports will be generated by the instructor on a bi-monthly basis. This will be done based on the four target skills of reading, writing and listening. The reports will focus on ME (Met Expectations), SIR (Some Improvement Required) U (Unsatisfactory). These grades will also apply to attendance and timekeeping. An attendance sheet for all Employees will be faxed to RasGas every evening during the course.

Testing

After the initial four month (400 hours) training a final level test will be given to each employee and in consultation with their supervisor, they may be moved up to a higher level. A final certificate to include grades and a comment on their performance will be presented to each employee on the final day of the course.

Breakdown of Methodology

Each lesson carries a determined outcome which must be achieved before progressing to the next outcome. The chart below shows the target areas for each outcome preceded by (S) for Speaking (R) for Reading and (W) for Writing. There are seventeen target outcomes which must be achieved before a student can be considered as successful at one of the three levels namely, Elementary, Pre-Intermediate and Intermediate. A test designed to test the competency of the Employees in each of the outcomes is given during the last week of the training. The seven fortnightly tests throughout the test will also be taken into account when determining the final grade.

LNG IN TRANSIT

When you turn on your gas cooker in London, do you know you might be using gas that has travelled a long distance by sea. The tankers used to transport Liquid Natural Gas are called LNG Tankers.

These tankers can transport very large amounts of gas up to 135,000 m3. The tankers are kept at a very low temperature so that the gas does not escape. Any gas that does evaporate is used to fuel the tanker.

As a result of this technology less time is needed to unload the cargo of gas. At the terminal the LNG is converted into gas and it is sent to gas companies through pipelines.

It is so easy to take our gas for granted, but the technology which makes this gas available to us is fascinating.

Read the information above and give short presentation to your colleagues on LNG.
