gas pipe line project report.

1. DEVELOPMENT OF SCOPE MANAGEMENT

2. oVERVIEW
Project Scope Management includes the processes required to ensure that the project
includes all the work required, and only the work required, to complete the project
successfully. Managing the project scope is primarily concerned with defining and
controlling what is and is not included in the project. Following are some steps involved
in the scope management process.
• Collection of requirements.
• Formation of project scope statement
• Formation of WBS
• Controlling through requirements traceability matrix
SCOPE STATEMENT
How to create opportunity for CATALYST CONSTRUCTION LTD:
The main boundary lines of these gas lines are from Balakot to Muzafarabad. As we
discussed earlier that during the last 10 years the network of main and distribution gas
pipeline has been expanded by 85%. But the geological and geographical conditions of
Pakistan are tough for the construction. On one side there are glaciers and high
mountains, on the other side there is desert and plan of river Indus with extensive
network of wide rivers and canals. There is always risk of earthquake, landslides and
floods. Instable Government policies, high rate of inflation, rapid change in material
prices are also important risk factors. Looking the current geopolitics situation there is a
persistent threat of war and terrorism in the country. All these factors make the situation
very complex in quantifying the risk factors especially when the project is gas pipeline in
which the impact factor of risk exponentially rise in case of risk occurrence. Moreover,
due to the absence of modern project or risk management techniques and methodologies
the projects are usually not completed in their planned time or budget. Effort has been
made to quantify the associated risks of gas pipeline project on the basis of historical
data. The research will be helpful to separate the most important risks from the trivial
many for the construction of any sort of pipeline project in the northern areas of Pakistan.
So government of Pakistan selected our company to improve the infrastructure of gas
pipelines in Pakistan.
OBJECTIVES
Main objectives of our company
• To lower the cost by smart moves
• To increase the profitability of the company by fulfilling the overall requirements
of this project.

3. • To complete the project on time by covering all the requirements.
• To satisfy the needs of the key stakeholders in my project.
• To minimize the risk associated and its impact on the cost
• To market the brand name of our company, so that in the next few years we move
towards the international markets.
Requirements of Overall Project
As the project boundaries describes that the nature of the project is very complex due to
the tough conditions of Pakistan geographical areas. So especially skilled workers are the
key requirements in this project. On the other hand, the mining phase for the construction
of these gas pipelines requires a detailed plan for the safety of our workers due to the
emission of different gases like CO2 and ammonium which are the dangerous for the
human heath. To make the detailed plan of requirements our core project members
viewed the project charter to know the key stakeholders in this project. The list planned
of requirements is given below.
• Arial route for the gas pipelines
• Acquisition of land
• Long term financing
• Raw materials
• Skilled workers
• Different tool requirements
• Heavy duty machinery
• Medium duty machinery
• Stakeholders register
• Gas pipelines
KEY PROJECT DELIVERABLE
The key project deliverable in my project is the services of the gas pipelines. The main
efforts and contribution in the construction of these pipelines includes all the formation of
status reports including the major parts in the construction methodology.

5. DEVELOPMENT OF HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT

6. OVERVIEW:
Project Human Resource Management includes the processes that organize, manage, and
lead the project team. The project team is comprised of the people with assigned roles
and responsibilities for completing the project. The type and number of project team
members can change frequently as the project progresses. Project team members may
also be referred to as the project’s staff. While the specific roles and responsibilities for
the project team members are assigned, the involvement of all team members in project
planning and decision making can be beneficial. Early involvement and participation of
team members adds their expertise during the planning process and strengthens their
commitment to the project.
Develop Human Resource Plan—The process of identifying and documenting project
roles, responsibilities, and required skills, reporting relationships, and creating a staffing
management plan.
Acquire Project Team—The process of confirming human resource availability and
obtaining the team necessary to complete project assignments.
Develop Project Team—The process of improving the competencies, team interaction,
and the overall team environment to enhance project performance.
Manage Project Team—The process of tracking team member performance, providing
feedback, resolving issues, and managing changes to optimize project performance. The
project management team is a subset of the project team and is responsible for the project
management and leadership activities such as initiating, planning, executing, monitoring,
controlling, and closing the various project phases.
This group can also be referred to as the core, executive, or leadership team. For smaller
projects, the project management responsibilities can be shared by the entire team or
administered solely by the project manager. The project sponsor works with the project
management team, typically assisting with matters such as project funding, clarifying
scope, monitoring progress, and influencing others in order to benefit the project

DEVELOPMENT OF PROCUREMENTS PLAN

10. 1. PLANNING AND CONDUCT PROCUREMENTS
After the detailed meetings from all the key stakeholders, and different experts in cost
management, we are able to make a detailed report on the criticality of each item used in
our project. In this whole process, our project team and other experts review the limits or
boundaries of the project. The company (CATALYST CONSTRUCTION LTD) noticed
that arrangement of 30% equipment must be outsourced from different manufacturing
companies and the rest 70% must be internal arrangement of critical item. The most
important part in the procurements is the arrangement of different machineries, so the
company decided for the complete vendor bid analysis in this matter. Moreover, our cost
accountants judged that the cost of fuel on these machines during these two years exceeds
our limited budget. In this whole planning, for more accurate procurements CATALYST
CONSTRUCTION LTD also hires HSSE (health, safety, security and environmental)
consulting firm. Following table describes in detail of each item manufactured internally
by CATALYST CONSTRUCTION LTD and the cost associated with it.

ACQUISITION OF MACHINERY
Acquisition of machinery is actually the tough task related to the complexity of the
project. On the other hand, moving within budget constraints requires a deep
understanding of the seller. To assure that the process must be within the scope,
government of Pakistan deeply focused into this issue and moves side by side as the
procurements goes on.
Moreover, for about more than four to five months our whole project team along with
government of Pakistan shows keen interest in the selection of vendors. As the project
continues in the next few years, so the most critical part is the availability of sufficient

the past experiences of the government of Pakistan, we can realize those different issues
with these stakeholders and how to cater these in this development. We realized that the
previous contract almost two years before.i.e. PAKISTAN-IRAN gas pipeline provides
us a handsome approach for smart moves.
• Classification of different stakeholders in BM integrated gas pipiline contract
Classification of different stakeholders in this project is usually a critical issue to be
defined. Key stakeholders are easily to be defined from the contract. So for others
stakeholder’s analysis our core project team members pass each stakeholder into different
steps to identify their interest expectations and influence on the project. These processes
include:
o Interviewing different stakeholders to identify their impact on the whole
project and interest from this project. (done by PROJECT CORE TEAM)

29. DEVELOPMENT OF QUALITY PLAN

30. OVERVIEW:
Project Quality Management includes the processes and activities of the performing
organization that determine quality policies, objectives, and responsibilities so that the
project will satisfy the needs for which it was undertaken. It implements the quality
management system through policy and procedures with continuous process
improvement activities conducted throughout, as appropriate.
Overview of the Project Quality Management processes which include the following:
Plan Quality—The process of identifying quality requirements and/or standards for the
project and product, and documenting how the project will demonstrate compliance.
Perform Quality Assurance—The process of auditing the quality requirements and the
results from quality control measurements to ensure appropriate quality standards and
operational definitions are used.
Perform Quality Control—The process of monitoring and recording results of
executing the quality activities to assess performance and recommend necessary changes.
CATALYST CONSTRUCTION Company also requires complete quality plan to meet
the stakeholder requirements. The benchmark of our company includes six sigma which
says that quality of your project must be at its best, at your best effort. To assure this
our company also incurs certain types of costs such as training costs, a complete vendor
analysis, testing, and inspections. To assure that all the things must be on time
CATALYST Company hires the consultancy firm (HSSE COSULTANTS) for all the
audit checks of our business. Specific dates of these checks are given below.

32. DEVELOPMENT OF RISK MANAGEMENT PLAN

33. OVERVIEW
The most critical part of our project is the risk management of risk because the as far as
Pakistan is concerned various types of negative risks associated with this gas pipeline.
The objectives of the risk management plan are to increase the probability and impact of
positive events and decrease the probability of negative risks in the project. the most
important parts in the planning phase of the risk are:
• Planning and identification of risks
• Quantitative risk analysis
• Qualitative risk analysis by expert judgment
• Plans and strategies for handling of negative risks
Risk is an uncertain event in the project, if it occurs affects at least one project objective.
Objectives can include scope, schedule, cost and quality. On the other hand, there are also
important issues inside the organization (CATALYST CONSTRUCTION LTD) that are
also to be reviewed, for example, lack of integrated management systems and
dependency on other companies who cannot be controlled.
Our monthly meetings with different consultants ensure the type of attitude when the risk
occurs which includes: perception, tolerances and other biases.
1. PLANNING AND IDENTIFICATION OF RISK
All the project core team hold different planning meetings to develop the risk
management plan. Attendees in these meetings include:
• Mr. KAMRAN ZAFAR (Project Manager)
• Mr. Ali Ahsan (CEO of the CATALYST CONSTRUCTION LTD)
• Mr. Fazal Muqeem (director in the people excellence department)
• Mr. Mubashir Sadiq ( chief financial analyst of the catalyst constion ltd)
• Mr. Ali Moazam (chief technical officer)
• Mr. Riaz Hussain (chief marketing officer)
• HSSE consultants
As we discussed previously, Pakistan is planning to improve the infrastructure of natural
gas through pipelines in their countrry. For fully utilizing the imported gas, providing it
to end customers, the infrastructure of gas pipeline is being developed. Therefore a huge
investment is being carried out in this sector. During the last 10 years the network of
main and distribution gas pipeline has been expanded by 85%. But the geological and
geographical conditions of Pakistan are tough for the construction. On one side there are
glaciers and high mountains, on the other side there is desert and plan of river Indus with
extensive network of wide rivers and canals. There is always risk of earthquake,

34. landslides and floods. Instable Government policies, high rate of inflation, rapid change
in material prices are also important risk factors. Looking the current geopolitics situation
there is a persistent threat of war and terrorism in the country. All these factors make the
situation very complex in quantifying the risk factors especially when the project is gas
pipeline in which the impact factor of risk exponentially rise in case of risk occurrence.
Moreover, due to the absence of modern project or risk management techniques and
methodologies the projects are usually not completed in their planned time or budget.
Effort has been made to quantify the associated risks of gas pipeline project on the basis
of historical data. The research will be helpful to separate the most important risks from
the trivial many for the construction of any sort of pipeline project in the northern areas
of Pakistan.
Table 1(a) Showing Natural resources reserves in Pakistan and their usage (%):
SOURCE OF ENERGY SHARE (%)
Natural gas 50,4
The discussion shows that, huge investment is expected in the field of gas pipeline
construction domestic and cross boarders. Pakistan, not rich in experience of pipeline
construction is looking for a technical and strategic partner for the pipeline construction,
just after the final settlement of Pakistan-IRAN pipeline project is done expectedly in
June, 2008.
Geological and geographical conditions of Pakistan are very complex for the construction
of oil or gas pipeline projects. Almost 50 % of the total area of Pakistan is mountainous.
The northern areas are having different chains of mountains coming from China and
India (Himalaya, Karakorum) which meet with the mountain chains coming from Iran
and Afghanistan (Koh Salman, Hindu Kush) in the northern areas of Pakistan. There is
also an extensive net work of wide rivers and canals in Pakistan. As the intensity of
crossing and obstacles in the linear part of pipeline, the over all cost of the pipelines and
associated risks to complete project in planed framework also increases. The risk can also
be associated with the type of topography of region. In summer temperature ranges
between 45-50*C due to that glaciers melt and melted water goes to the Indus water
system. The monsoon rains which occurs during June to August raise the river flows to
high extend and ultimately floods occurs. The statistics shows that big floods in the
history occurred in summer. Considering geopolitics of the regions there is a persistent
threat of terrorism and war. The economic instability has added the problem due to that
there is frequent change in economic parameters. All these are in fact potential risks for
any construction project especially oil and gas pipelines in which risk are multiplied
many fold and there is exponential rise in damage in case of occurrence of one or more
risks resulting huge human and environmental losses.
Risk management process starts with the planning of risk management. For that meetings
are conducted and it is mainly internal organizational effort for planning a course of

35. action for forth coming risk management plan. In that context, it is necessary to identify,
categorize, analyze, and manage risks in projects.

the risks characteristics are different in different part of same country, in which the
project is being executed. After identification for the safe of simplicity we can make Risk
Breakdown structure
(RBS) ,which help to visualize the whole scenario of risk management process.
Considering project life cycle of gas pipeline project in Pakistan we can mainly
categorize risk in two ways:
• Risks during Construction
• Risk during Exploitation of oil and gas pipelines risks in gas pipeline construction
sector.
RBS make things simpler in visualizing the process of risk assessment or analysis. Once
risks have been identified, they must then be assessed as to their potential severity of loss
and to the probability of occurrence. Risk assessment/analysis is primarily a systematic
and comprehensive methodology to evaluate risks associated with a complex engineered
technological entity. Risk assessment is defined as a feasible detrimental outcome of an
activity or action. Risk assessment process required two items:
• The magnitude (Impact) of the possible adverse consequence (risk), and
• The likelihood (probability) of occurrence of each consequence.

37. EXPLANATION OF RISK BREAK DOWN FIGURE
• Socio-political risk: it includes all the political instability in the country. As
during the past few years we have noticed that Pakistan is in deep trouble in
building the trust of their people. Due to this instability, there might be high
probability of strikes and lockouts which will ultimately negatively effect our
project due to delay or change in the government policies.
• Socio-economical risk: during the past 10 years, detailed marketing surveys
shows that inflation rate in Pakistan almost thrice than today due to its instability
in the political section. So we can say that, if at certain point in time, our material
prices are high then it will ultimately impacts our project objectives that is ti me
and budget.
• Organizational risk: this type of risk is due to the internal factors of the
organization. Unavailability of the labor resources inside the company due to its
poor planning incurs a lot of impact on the overall cost and time of the pipeline.
• Investment risk: due to the fluctuations in the dollar value, this huge investment
project will ultimately impact its boundaries. We can say that reduction of only
one dollar in the currency will damage the 30% effort of the project and since this
problem cannot be controlled so we must look towards the cash reserves to cater
this situation.
• Technological risk: the construction of these pipelines that is 1674 km long
includes a very complex designing of pipelines. Due to this our company hired a
very experienced consultancy firm.
• Security risks: history shows that in the past Pakistan-Iran gas pipelines
construction process, terrorist attracts on these pipelines reaches up to 141. On the
other, PAKISTAN is in deep trouble in facing these terrorists attack during past
few years, so we can say that probability of terrorism and war in Pakistan must be
high. To cater this problem, Government of Pakistan actively involved providing
security in the operations of these gas pipelines.
• Natural disasters: again, we cannot control nor have the power to cater this
problem but yes we can minimize the impact of earthquakes, floods through
different experts of HSSE firm and also from the China.
• Ecological risk: during the construction, our project team noticed that the cutting
of rocks will ultimately affect its the animal species that is wolf, blue sheep.e.t.c

39. RESULTS AND RECOMMENDATION
1. Three most critical tasks calculated by Risky Project are Excavation, Transportation of
Material and Stringing of pipelines. The most critical risks come out to be change in
economic parameters, delay in approval from regulatory body, internal and external
communication, earthquake and terrorism during construction and operation of gas
pipelines.
2. The secondary risks like change in material prices, construction not finished
in time or budget and design not in time can be reduced or transferred to the other party
or organization by contract. However HSSE is designing, constructing and operating gas
pipelines so risk can be eliminated by strengthening the internal organizational capacity
for design, construction and operation.
3. Organizational or technological risk like insufficient resource planning or project
management, change in scope etc can be eliminated by improving the process or
application of new technologies available in this field. New state of the art technologies
are helpful in managing change at any stage of the project.
