Staatsolie Maatschappij Suriname (Staatsolie) SARAMACCA ESMP 2019 1 INTRODUCTION Staatsolie Maatschappij Suriname N.V. (Staatsolie) is the Surinamese State oil company founded in 1980 and wholly owned by the Republic of Suriname. The company explores, produces and refines crude oil. Staatsolie operates three oil fields in the Saramacca District of Suriname: Tambaredjo, Tambaredjo North-West and Calcutta, as well as two oil processing plants: TA-58 and Jossie. The Tambaredjo Oil Field is located 40 km west of Paramaribo and 8 km south of the Atlantic coast, north of the East-West Connection Road (Oost-West Verbinding) (see Figure 1-2). Staatsolie’s facilities and operations in Saramacca are supplied with power by N.V. Energie Bedrijven Suriname (EBS) through a transmission line to Saramacca. Power demand is expected to increase due to expansion of operations in the oil fields. While EBS will continue to supply power from other existing, distant sources, Staatsolie proposes to construct a new thermal (Heavy Fuel Oil [HFO]) power plant of up to 36 MW in phases at the Sarah Maria facility in the Tambaredjo Oil Field to provide backup power (the project). The project site is situated in the northern portion of the Tambaredjo Oil Field, 120 m south-east of the TA-58 plant (see Figure 1-1). The site is vacant and covered with secondary marsh vegetation, which qualifies as modified habitat. Roadside drainage ditches run alongside access roads which border the site to the east, south and west. The proposed power plant will be constructed on a ~2.5 ha site south-east of the TA-58 plant (see Figure 1-1). Figure 1-1: Proposed power plant location relative to TA-58 1 SARAMACCA ESMP 2019 Figure 1-2: Locality map 2 SARAMACCA ESMP 2019 The power plant will include the following key components: • Powerhouse, internal combustion engines and additional equipment; • Fuel treatment plant; • Storage facilities for fuel and lubricant; • Transformers; and • Maintenance, storage and office areas. The proposed power plant will consist of 6 MW engines, each with an individual 30 m-high exhaust stack. The number of engines is expected to reach a maximum of six engines, to allow for backup and redundancy requirements (i.e. not all engines will be operating at the same time). Engines will be running mainly on Saramacca Crude, and occasionally on HFO (Staatsolie’s own low-sulphur product with less than 3% sulphur) or Light Fuel Oil (LFO). Saramacca Crude will be transported through a pipeline from the existing TA-58 plant to the storage tanks at the power plant, while HFO and LFO will be trucked from the Staatsolie refinery at Tout Lui Faut. HFO is only required during special circumstances, e.g. pipeline maintenance or unplanned pipeline and/or TA-58 plant shutdowns. The use of LFO will be minimized and only required for start-up. The estimated maximum fuel consumption per generator is 28 000 litres per day. The engines will be cooled by a closed-circuit cooling-water (radiator) system using treated water with possibly some anti-corrosion additives. The cooling pipes are typically run through concrete cable gutters; in the unlikely event of a leak cooling water will be contained and not discharged into the environment. Efficiency improvement options for the power plant as well as the opportunity to use excess energy in the TA-58 plant will be considered. The plant will be equipped with a fire-fighting system including tank, pipelines and pumps. Construction will be phased. Phase 1 consists of three 6 MW generator units, which will not be operational simultaneously. The design will accommodate the possibility for further expansion to a maximum peak capacity of 36 MW, based on projected future needs. The construction phase will consist of: • Site clearance; • Site preparations, including backfilling with sand; • Concrete foundation piling; • Construction of concrete foundations (buildings, tanks, generators and transformers); • Installation of drainage and landscaping; • Construction of buildings, support structures and tank farm; • Transportation and installation of generator sets, including auxiliaries (stacks, cooling plant, piping etc); • Electrical installations, including transformers and switchgear; and • Commissioning and testing. Most materials will be procured and delivered by the Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) contractor and transported to site by dump truck (raw materials) and flatbed trucks (piling, containers, piping). 3 SARAMACCA ESMP 2019 To satisfy the growing electricity demand of the Saramacca operations, the power plant should be operational in 2020. The (minimum) operational life of the plant is 20 years. It is expected that the project construction phase will provide jobs for 215 people, while the operational phase generates employment for 10 people. This document, the Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP), details the approach that will be followed during design, construction and operation of the Saramacca Power Plant Project to ensure that its negative impact on the environment is minimized. Contractors that will be involved shall review and commit to the ESMP before starting the works. This document is intended as a dynamic document that may be continually edited and updated by the HSEQ Upstream Division as new insights develop during the implementation of this ESMP. 1.1 ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT Compliance with the provisions of a number of Staatsolie documents that address Health, Safety, and Environmental (HSE) issues are mandatory, principally: • Health, Safety & Environmental and Quality Policy: is aimed at continually improving performance and aspires to prevent harm to the safety and health of its Employees, contractors, neighbors, and the environment. • GFI’s: general procedures to guide Staatsolie’s operations so that it complies with the HSE policy. GFI’s applicable to this project are
