    1. Introduction Asset Integrity is fundamental to the Mubadala Petroleums operational principles, which are:

    No accidents

    No harm to people

    No damage to the environment. Mubadala Petroleum undertakes oil and gas exploration and production in four strategic regions; the Middle East, Southeast Asia, the Caspian and Africa. Mubadala Petroleums vision is to be the leading Eastern Hemisphere upstream oil and gas company, which requires excellence in every aspect of its business. A crucial aspect of operational excellence and the prevention of major incidents is Asset Integrity. Sound Asset Integrity is an outcome of good design, good construction and robust operating practices. It is achieved when facilities and wells are structurally and mechanically sound, and are operated within their design envelopes. Asset Integrity Management (AIM) is now well recognized in the oil and gas industry as an important set of processes that, when methodically and efficiently executed, produce tangible benefits, including improved HSSE performance, reduction in loss of containment events, fewer unplanned outages and shorter planned shutdowns. These benefits will result in enhanced production performance and savings in inspection and maintenance costs. AIM processes also perform an important role in ensuring wells and plant are fit for purpose and providing confidence for extending operational life. The principal drivers for achieving Asset Integrity can be summarised as follows:

    Local, national and international regulatory authorities HSE policies and standards.

    Mubadala Petroleum HSSE Policy, Operations Management System (OMS) and associated standards.

    Responsibilities to partners, stakeholders and the community.

    Business performance and continuity.

    Mubadala Petroleum and Mubadala Development Company reputation. In order to achieve this, Mubadala Petroleum shall:

    PRINTED COPIES ARE UNCONTROLLED

    Retain highly qualified, competent and experienced professionals in key positions at all levels within the organization, who understand and actively manage the inherent risks associated with producing, processing and transporting oil and gas.

    Create a culture throughout the Mubadala Petroleum organization such that the importance of AIM is clearly understood at all levels, including contractors, and AIM is incorporated into routine work practices.

    Create a business environment in which emphasis is placed on the prevention of incidents and releases that could endanger company employees, contract employees, the public, the environment, or the facilities.

    2. Purpose and Objectives This document provides the framework for the management and assurance of Asset Integrity within Mubadala Petroleum. This AIM Standard has the following objectives:

    To specify a mechanism to ensure that Mubadala Petroleum operated assets remain fit for service and deliver the required safety, environmental and commercial performance throughout the asset life cycle.

    To provide a basis for managing equipment integrity throughout the assets Life Cycle.

    To demonstrate that systems are in place, or shall be implemented, to comply with corporate policies, technical and commercial objectives and regulatory requirements.

    To ensure that AIM is focused on the equipment most critical to safety, the environment and business performance.

    To be flexible to reflect operational experience and accommodate change.

    To identify the Asset Integrity related requirement of the appropriate elements of the OMS and to ensure the efficient and effective implementation of those requirements.

    Business Units (BUs) shall adhere to this AIM Standard throughout the asset life cycle. Deviations from this Standard must be approved by the Chief Operating Officer (COO), who shall consult with the companys respective Technical/Discipline Authorities as appropriate. A formal deviation procedure will be developed to ensure appropriate mitigations and controls are in place for the duration of the deviation, and that they are authorized by respective Discipline Authorities.

    3. Scope This document identifies the requirements necessary to effectively manage Asset Integrity. This shall principally be accomplished through the early identification of potential hazards and risk mitigation by the implementation of design, operational and procedural controls. This AIM Standard defines a system of requirements that shall be implemented in all Mubadala Petroleum onshore and offshore oil and gas BUs, and may be used as reference in all joint ventures and contractor-operated assets. Where national regulatory requirements are more stringent, they shall take priority over company standards. In such cases, the Standard document owner shall be notified to determine whether a document revision is required. This AIM Standard shall be applied to all exploration, developments/projects and production activities, as well as transportation, storage, offloading operations and supporting activities. The scope of this AIM Standard covers all engineered and constructed systems (including management and control systems, and procedures) from the reservoir to the point of custody transfer of hydrocarbons and associated products.

    4. AIM Standard Elements This AIM Standard is arranged according to the relevant Elements of the OMS.
