INTRODUCTION
The Cooperative Training program is a hand-on practical training that helps university
students to apply what they learned at college in practical work environment and it also
prepares students for the change from school life to work career life. This report of the
Cooperative Program Training, which comes as the final requirement of the first senior
year preparation, I report what I have received by training at the Facilities Engineering &
Support Division of Saudi ARAMCO Company which also includes the Project
Maintenance Unit, the Quality Assurance Unit and the Materials Inventory Unit. I
attended my training mainly at the Project Maintenance Unit but I also circulated among
the two other units which were the Quality Assurance Unit and the Materials Inventory
Unit. Before attending at these two units, I was oriented on Saudi Aramco Engineering
and Safety Standards according to a schedule that last for one week. Also, I took a tour
through the other different units of the facility and the other departments of the company
as well. I was assigned several tasks to do during the training period some of which were
directly related to Mechanical Engineering and others were still around the field.
According to the training schedule that planned by Mr. Fulan Al-Fulani, the tasks and
training were scheduled through eight weeks in the department. This period allowed me
to access the engineering activities which were taking place in the plant with close
supervision by the Mechanical supervisor plant. There are several mechanical
departments in the filed, namely Utility, Aromatics, Distillation and Hydro Cracking.
There was a closed Supervision and training instructions given by the supervisors about
nature of field work and how to behave in the plant.

SAUDI ARAMCO’s FACILITIES ENGINEERING & SUPPORT DIVISION
Saudi ARAMCO
As it is known, Saudi ARAMCO the national oil company, is not only the most important
company in the Kingdom, but also one of the most important companies in the world.
ARAMCO as the world second oil reserve explorer, producer and exporter was
established in 1933 with its headquarters in Dhahran of the Eastern Province of the
Kingdom and facilities, refineries and ports in several parts of the Kingdom. Saudi
ARAMCO is also an example of professional environment where the work goes by
international standards.
ARAMCO Engineering Standards
In the orientation period, I received briefing about Aramco’s engineering standards which
is the best in the Kingdom because it follows international standards that were founded
by America’s big companies like Chevron. The maintenance in the Project Maintenance
Unit is scheduled according to the machines and equipment service and needs and also
their life span of their components as this table () shows:

Facilities Engineering & Support Division
Facilities Engineering & Support Division (FESD) does the work, plans and oversees the
construction of the Company’s new facilities, including some of the directly related to the
petroleum industry and others in the oil infrastructure related. Saudi Aramco major
projects include expanded oil, gas and petrochemical facilities, construction, power,
water and transportation works that together help the crude oil production. Facilities
Engineering & Support Division (FESD) furnishes the way to expanding new oil, gas,
refining and petrochemical projects in the company. FESD division is directly connected
with the Company’s Research & Development Center where scientists investigate topics
such as treating crude oil, advanced fuel formulations for next generation combustion
engines using advanced technology.
Table: 2 FE&SD Units
The Facilities Engineering & Support Division (FESD) while it does the mandatory
checks on equipment its job also includes:
• Evaluate operational requirements for new projects, facility upgrade and
equipment requirements.
• Develop Project Design Request, review design package and estimates.
• Process Land Use Permit and develop Expenditure Request for BI-19 projects.
• Develop contract scope for project implementation.
• Execute and oversee projects from the start of construction to completion.
8
· ACTIVITIES & RESPONSIBILITIESMy activities and responsibilities in the FESD Division’s Project Maintenance Unit as a
trainee there included several tasks including being a professional trainee according to
Aramco standards, being researcher in the Quality Assurance Unit, regulations and
engineering principles and also being an assistant in the maintenance projects
A professional Trainee
From the first day I joined the Project Maintenance Unit for the coop training, I felt I am
in a professional environment because everything was done and made formal. First of all,
I was given a pass ID to enter the company and I was also given a uniform. But the
biggest activity in my first week in the Facilities Engineering & Support Division was the
safety preparation. The trainees were given the Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
because all persons who are working in or visiting in the facilities MUST wear them. The
Personal Protective Equipment included the Safety Helmets, Safety Glasses and Safety
Footwear. We were also given overalls that we should wear when we are working in
Process, Tank farm or jetty areas.
A Researcher
I did research and studied several materials on Aramco engineering, safety and
maintenance. From the second day, my supervisor briefed me in short about what the
PPE department does and gave me guidelines to review. I also reviewed several technical
and maintenance manuals. I attended two presentations on “Safety at Workplace”. Then
I was introduced to the hazardous materials which are the most interesting. The
supervisor gave me a book which is call the Hazamat (or hazardous materials) to read
when I am not doing something. Before any maintenance work the followings are seen:
1. Elimination – remove the hazard from the site.
2. Substitution – for example, substituting a chemical for a less hazardous materials.
3. Isolation: which is isolating the hazard from any person that can expose to it.
4. Engineering Controls – for example, guards around machinery.
5. Administrative Controls – for example, training and work processes.
6. Wearing Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).

A Teamwork Assistant
I joined the work teams from the three Units: the Project Maintenance, the Quality
Assurance Unit and the Materials Inventory Unit. My job as an assistant technician
required me to work among groups of maintenance teams to do repair, replacements and
renewal of the followings:
Fire protection systems, security gates and perimeter fence.
Warehouses, buildings, sun shelters, storage yard & Lightings.
Equipment (sweeper machine, picker manlift & overhead cranes).
Fire protection systems (sprinkler, pumps, fire hydrants, piping loop, fire hose
reels & fire extinguishers).
Fire protection systems Security gates and perimeter fence.

MAJOR TAKS & PEOJECTS
Project-1
The first major task in the same Abgaig Fire Station in the network was electrical for
fixing the Automatic Fire Detection and Alarming System. It was what they call a
periodic replacement for the electro-mechanical parts of the system which have expiry
date to be replaced. The system has two main circuit boards but they are connected
together. The central control station includes the Alarm Signaling Equipment (ASE)
which is an equipment designed to communicate alarm and fault signals together with the
information between a fire alarm system and a monitoring service, and Fire Detection
System (FDS) which are designed to detect fire situations or other hazards and then send
signals to the alarming system of the place where the fire happened as seen in the Fig.
(2).
I helped by shutting down the power line from the circuit breaker panel. Then I
disconnected the power line from the system’s power supply. Then the technicians
removed one repay and replaced it with a new one. The technician also asked me to help
him to remove two capacitors in the circuit and read their tag value, type and dielectric
material.
12
Project-2
There was a 2-day big assignment when I joined a team from the Project Maintenance
Unit to fix a problem in Abqaiq’s Fire System. The problem was some defective gauges
needed to be replaced and also some repairs to the fire extinguishing system network
were to be done. We were a team of three technicians, myself and a foreman. The team
planned the mission and prepared the needed equipment for fixing Post Indicated Valves
( PIVs ) and also the centerline window glasses of PIVs. We removed some of its parts
which had expiry date during which they have to be changed as shown in this Fig. (3).
Figure:3 PSV Valve
Our assignment included replacement, fixing and reconditioning. As part of the team, I
helped in supplying and installing seven (7) new gate valves and also two (2) fire
protection pressure relief valves. According to the engineer, this part of the network
broke because they were not used for a long time until it collected rust. First, the water in
the line was closed from the control room before we loosened the valves and replaced
them with new ones. At the end, we prepared the report of the things which we did at
Abqaiq’s Fire Department. The site report was submitted to the Dhahran’s supervisor
who then reported it Dharan’s superintendent. I viewed the report which was three pages
and signed by the engineer.

CONCLUSION
In conclusion, this internship training was a beneficial and enjoyable experience. It gave
me an overview of the engineering principles and the job environment. I enjoyed the
experience so much and I feel almost ready for entering the real work life. I believe
everything I have done there even though a lot of them cannot be written rather they can
be experienced in actual, were all useful

Saudi ARAMCO Co.
As it goes without say, Saudi ARAMCO the national oil company, is not only the most
important company in the Kingdom, but also one of the most important companies in the
world. ARAMCO as the world second oil reserve explore, producer and exporter was
established in 1933 with its headquarters in Dhahran of the Eastern Province oif the
Kingdom and facilities, refineries and ports in several parts of the Kingdom. Saudi
ARAMCO is also an example of professional environment where the work goes by
international standards.
WEEKS (16-27) Progress Report
The first two days in the Materials and Supplies Department, were all a welcome and
introduction to the department and its offices and senior employees. I was received by
Mr. Naeem Al-Humaidi who introduced himself as the Superintend of the Materials and
Supplies Department. He welcomed me and wished me good days in the company, then
he refereed me to my direct supervisor Mr. Eng. Abdulrahman W Al-Otaibi.
My supervisor briefed me in short about what the department of the Materials and
Supplies does as it ensure that there are enough raw materials and equipment in the stock
for the use of the different sections in the company. My supervisor Mr. Eng.
Abdulrahman W Al-Otaibi then gave me a Development Program Schedule that explains
what I will have to attend and when. The supervisor took me a tour around the different
offices of the Materials and Supplies Department and also showed me my location in his
office.
18
Late in the first week, I attended a safety presentation. I understood how safety is
important in ARAMCO and how well the company follows safety rules and regulations.
In the presentation, they demonstrated how injury can happen at work and what
precautions that the employees should take. At the end of the presentation, they gave me
safety gear that included a helmet, a safety pair of shoes and an overhaul uniform in
addition to safety glasses which I will need to wear in some sections of the company.
The first actual task in my training schedule started with an Overview of Materials &
Supply. I was given a brief introduction to the Substandard materials as materials that are
needed for ordinary machines and processes. Then I was introduced to the hazardous
materials which are the most interesting. The supervisor gave me a book which is call the
Hazamat (or hazardous materials) to read when I am not doing something. I saw many
tags which bear the materials in the book like flammable and poisonous materials. I also
showed the storerooms and warehouse where the materials are kept how they are kept in
order and in a way that makes it easy to know how much of them are available and how much
of them are needed to be supplied.
Late in the second week I was taken in a tour by my supervisor Mr. Eng. Abdulrahman
W Al-Otaibi. It was last Monday when i accompanied a team of engineers to Shatgum
which is a site in the southeast. The mission of the team was to Check some project
operations there. I saw how formal the process of contacting and documenting everything
they did. We stayed in the Shatgum site for about 4 hours before we drove back to the
company's headquarters.

WEEKS (16-27) Progress Report
In this stage of my training in the Materials and Supplies Department, I started to
understand more about the Department of the Materials and Supplies. My safety
awareness was the best benefit which I not only learned but also practiced. All the
instructions and safety messages which we received in our first days in the department,
we applied them in practical. The most important safety principle which I learned is
Aramco’s rule that the company’s employees a r e t he mos t i mpor t an t r e s ou rce
and the r e fo re i t i s comm i t t ed t o de ve lop and p rom ote t he
awareness of Health for all employees, contractors, visitors and members of the public
that come into contact without operation. In this regard, I practiced
the Safety and Environment (HSE) working practices during my presence in the facility
by many ways
The most challenging experience in my training for the third week was following
instructions about handling Hazardous Materials. There was a contractor who doing some
construction works and two of us had to monitor the contractors follow of the safety
instructions. Even though they were only construction materials, but the safety measures
in Aramco do not miss anything. We checked a list of classification and used it yto tikck
the classes of the materials according to the classification. Some of the Hazardous/toxic
waste is liquid, solid and semi-solid material, which, because of the quantity they
loaded, the concentration, and the biological, physical, chemical or infectious
are checked. I asked why we were doing that and I learned that because some
orinary material maybe a hazard to human health and/or the environment
if we deal with them improperly. The following are some examples of waste materials
which were classified as hazardous/toxic, and are to be handled with care and
according to Saudi Aramco procedure.

• Insecticides and pesticides
• Flushing fluids / chemicals
• Compressed gases (acetylene, oxygen, chlorine)
• Flammable / combustible liquids (gasoline, diesel oil)
• Corrosive liquids (acid)
• Cleaning fluids
• Explosives
We monitored the process of unloading the materials on the site. Then, we told the
contractor labor to follow the safety steps in the rest of the work
The left hazardous material after the work must bear tag to identify them
before disposal of the material and that the contractor or user should notify the
AM&RD which is Al Midra and Reclamation Division. The division will make sure that
the material will be given AM & RD in containers and clearly marked "Hazardous
Material" only without any other confusing words.
In the second step, the c/u must follow the safety guidelines according to the Material or
the Safety Data Sheets because the Saudi Aramco procedures is found here.
This high safety standards are not found anywhere else in the Kingdom. I always
compare what I see in Aramco facilities with we have in PMU campus. There is actually
nothing similar. Safety, is a big issue that we did not learn about enough and this is a
good opportunity for me to do so.

WEEKS ( 14-25 ) Progress Report
There was a 2-day big task in the third week in the Materials and Supplies Department. I
joined a team of firemen technicians to fix a problem in Abqaiq’s Fire System in two
days. The problem was some defective gauges was needed to be replaced and also some
repairs to the fire extinguishing system network were to be done. We were a team of
three technicians, myself and an engineer. The team planned the mission and prepared the
needed equipment on Saturday.
The following Sunday we drove to Abgaig and got there about 9:00 am. There were three
tasks for us to do in two days which were replacement, fixing and reconditioning. We
began with the replacement where as part of the team, I helped in supplying and installing
seven (7) new gate valves and also two (2) fire protection pressure relief valves.
According to the engineer, this part of the network broke because they were not used for
a long time until it collected rust. First, the water in the line was closed from the control
room before we loosened the valves and replaced them with new ones. On Monday, we
did fixing or repairing part. The thing which we repaired was called Post Indicated
Valves ( PIVs ) which are centerline window glasses of PIVs. We removed some of its
parts which had expiry date during which they have to be changed.
In Tuesday of that week, we prepared the report of the things which we did at Abqaiq’s
Fire Department. The site report was submitted to the Dhahran’s supervisor who then
reported it Dharan’s superintendent. I viewed the report which was three pages and
signed by the engineer.
On Wednesday, we took copy of the report to the Material and Supplies Department. I
learned that this step was important for replacing the spare parts and equipment which we
used in the task so that their replacement will be made available in the stock.
23
The most challenging experience during these three days at Abgaig’s fire network
mission was for me to understand the network map. That was because it was major task
on the network called a rectification process for the whole network. During this
rectification process we had to do all the three processes which were replacement, fixing
and re-condition that include painting the line with red color. All the work was done
according to the network layout which has many symbols and numbers which I did not
understand.

WEEKS (28-8) Progress Report
I had a 3-day orientation on the maintenance planning in the hand of Mr. Fawaz who is
one of the Materials PLNG & System Department’s supervisor. I submitted to him the
request on Saturday morning of this week. Mr Fawaz gave guidelines of what the
orientation is going to discuss.
I began my first orientation with the general objective of maintenance planning which
helps the department to develop maintenance strategies like the one which we did in the
work of Abgaig’s Fire Department. I was given a list of outlines how the planning is done
to study it before I come the following day. The list included:
· Evaluation of historic maintenance spending
· The deferred (undone) maintenance items.
· an assessment of the section’s age profile to know its life cycle.
· Making risk assessment
· Making an assessment the disposals and acquisitions, and
· Preparing of a one-year plan for recurrent and funded maintenance.
The following day which was Sunday I was given a folder of year 2009 maintenance plan
and I was asked to match it with the lists of the strategies which I was given the day
before. I was able identify most of the points of strategies then completed the rest with
Mr. Fawaz.
In the following day I was taught how to apply the objective of the maintenance planning
in maintenance work in the Fire Safety in Warehouses. One thing which I learned was
that doing the maintenance program in the warehouse begins with knowing the priorities
25
and on-time completion of the work in the operating facilities and then checking the
available work force if there are enough workers to do the job and also their
specializations.
In the forth and fifth days of that week (Tuesday and Wednesday) I continued reviewing
the 2009 maintenance plan for the fire Department Warehouse.
We continued discussing special work schedules, overtime and also outside contractor
participation in the maintenance tasks.
The challenging and experiences which I found in this week were many. That is because
the maintenance planning has many paper works from several department. I had to
memorize the planning strategies and then apply them in example like maintenance
works in the Fire Department Warehouse which also many works that can need to be
done starting from the building, the electric connection in addition to the fire equipment

Overall, how do you rate the company in providing you
with this training?Excellent
32
What new knowledge or skill have you acquired as a result of this internship?
One of the most important skill I learned was planning a maintenance task. I learned that any work should be planned as of the tools and equipment needed to repair it, the time needed, the type of workers and also cost that it will take.
Which courses, if any, have helped you in learning the new knowledge, skills and technologies needed to do your work?
The course which helped me at my raining works, was the basic electrical principles like conduction, voltage and the electrical symbols which I encountered in the circuit diagram during fixing a problem in a Fire Detection and Alarming System.
What would have better prepared you forth is semester’s work?
If we had more lab work at college with more focus on tools and equipment, this would have helped me more.
Suggest ways in which you think the Internship Program, as a whole can be improved:
If the PMU’s Engineering Department can provide students with specific scientific threories and principles before they go to
the coop training so that they match and connect what they learn with them it would be a good idea.
