INTRODUCTION
Saudi Arabian Corporation for Oil Shale (SACOS) intends to retain the services of a qualified
Contractor to undertake exploration drilling for its Concession Area at the Attarat Umm Ghudran
oil shale deposit (Block AUG22) in the central of Jordan. The Concession Area can be reached from
Amman through the Desert Highway at about 70 km to the south, then through the road from
Siwaqa to Qasr Touba at about 40 km to the east. The Concession Area is about 4 km north of this
road. Table 1 provides coordinates for the study area. The Concession Area is 3.892 km (E-W) long
and 2.825 km (N-S) wide which is equivalent to an area of 11 km2.

SCOPE OF WORK
Location/Tenement: Within the SACOS Concession Area on the Attarat Umm Ghudran oil shale
deposit in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan. Field works for drilling activities has been planned to
start in first quarter of 2018.
Access to the drill locations is relatively good and no new roads are required to be built.

1. Drilling requirements:
The Contractor shall provide together with the final drilling sequence the major milestones of
activities (Time Schedule) with sufficient level of details.
The technical specifications are related to the construction of A7/B2 and Kurnub production
boreholes, on Site, with the following objectives:
(a) reaching and tapping A7/B2 aquifer and the Kurnub aquifer;
(b) perform the completion of each Well as an exploration and production well;
The Works shall be performed 24 hours a day and 7 days a week unless specified otherwise
and/or agreed by the Parties.

2. Water well SACOS 1 Details:
Drilling the A7/B2 aquifer level. This part of the borehole will be drilled using a 9'' 5/8 (244 mm),
until reaching the bottom of the Wadi As Sir limestone (end drilling at the top of the Shuayb
formation). The bottom of the Wadi As Sir limestone is expected to be reached at an approximate
depth of 400 m below ground surface.

3. Water well SACOS 2 Details:
Drilling the production section. This part of the borehole will be drilled using a 9'' 5/8 (244 mm),
drilling tool down to the final depth (900-1000 m).

4. Geological sampling
Geological samples must be collected as 3 meters intervals.
6. Pumping Test:
The main objective of the pumping test program is to determine the borehole
performance (head loss, skin effect, hydraulic conductivity, critical and operating
discharge rates) by a step-drawdown tests and 72 hours constant rate test.
During pumping test accredited water analysing laboratories will perform water
sampling and analysing for the components (chemical elements) given below. All
elements should be analysed by two different accredited laboratories with
internationally recognized standards (such as ASTM or equivalent). Before water
sampling takes place the Contractor will send sampling method statements to the
Employer and Employer's Representative for review. For avoidance of doubt, the
Contractor is not responsible if the accredited laboratory does not perform analysis
of certain elements.
