The Sakhalin II concession in Russia’s Far East is being developed by Sakhalin Energy Investment Company Ltd. The concession is developed in different phases. The Phase-I had been operational since 1999 and consisted of an oil development of limited scale with extraction on a seasonal basis. The Phase-II consists of a large-scale oil and gas development for year round production. The development includes extensive construction activities over the larger part of Sakhalin Island. As a result of these activities, wastes will be generated, for which a destiny has to be developed. After construction, during the operation stage, other volumes and types of waste will be generated. For these too, a destiny has to be developed.

Waste Management Services

The Waste Management services that were provided by Royal Haskoning were primarily related to strategy development, strategy implementation and contract management.

Strategy Development

In cooperation with Sakhalin Energy staff, a Waste Management Strategy was developed. Key considerations for the development included:

  •  
Project requirements;
  •  
Types and volumes of waste;
  •  
Existing waste management situation on Sakhalin Island;
  •  
Sakhalin Energy’s responsibility;
  •  
Production Sharing Agreement requirement;
  •  
Public perception.

The resulting strategy included the utilization of existing facilities as well as the development of new facilities. The strategy also addressed the aim of a uniform management of waste throughout the project and the company.

Strategy Implementation

To implement the waste management strategy, some adjustment in the scope of work of the contracted waste management consultant (see below) was required. Furthermore, Sakhalin Energy staff in general and asset teams in particular required information on the company’s approach towards waste management. This lead, amongst others, to the preparation of the Waste Management requirements for the Phase-II Contractors.

Contract Management

Sakhalin Energy contracted a waste management consultant with an office in the Russian Federation to provide all documentation and expertise to handle the waste management issues in compliance with the Russian Federation (and other applicable) legislation.

The deliverables by this waste management consultant included:

  •  

Inventory of applicable local, national and international legislation;

  •  

Inventory of waste streams, the expected volumes and their classification;

  •  
Solid Waste Management Plan;
  •  

Reconnaissance Survey to existing waste management facilities;

  •  

Extended survey to a selected number of existing waste management facilities;

  •  

Feasibility design of upgrade options for selected facilities. 

Royal Haskoning provided guidance to the consultant regarding the content of the deliverables and handled general management issues like on time delivery, costs and quality. Furthermore, Royal Haskoning evaluated the additional scope claims and prepared additional requirements / deliverables.

Activities

The evaluation of the consultants deliverables took mainly place in the project office in the Netherlands. In addition, Royal Haskoning paid several visits to Moscow and Sakhalin for:

  •  

Meetings with the Sakhalin Oblast as well as local authorities;

  •  
Visits to existing waste management facilities;
  •  
Visits to potential sites for new facilities;
  •  
Meetings with Sakhalin Energy staff;
  •
