Oil and gas facilities in Saudi Arabia require fire protection systems aligned with HCIS, the High Commission for Industrial Security, in addition to Saudi Civil Defense and NFPA requirements. Fire protection oil gas facilities Saudi Arabia projects involve flammable liquid storage, process equipment at elevated temperatures and pressures, outdoor and semi-outdoor installations exposed to the Eastern Province climate, and the highest consequence-of-failure risk of any project type in the Kingdom.

Multi Goals provides fire protection for oil and gas support facilities across Saudi Arabia. Based in Al Khobar in the Eastern Province, our team has direct experience delivering HCIS-aligned fire protection projects in Jubail Industrial City, Dammam, Ras Tanura, and surrounding areas. We manage both the HCIS documentation requirements and the Saudi Civil Defense approval process for qualifying facilities.

The most important distinction in oil and gas fire protection design is the treatment of flammable liquid hazard areas. Conventional water sprinklers are not effective on Class B flammable liquid fires and can spread burning liquid by creating turbulence. Foam suppression or water-spray systems designed specifically for flammable liquid hazards are required in storage and process areas. Applying standard commercial sprinkler designs to oil and gas process areas is both ineffective and dangerous.

HCIS Fire Protection Requirements in Saudi Arabia

The High Commission for Industrial Security (HCIS) governs fire and safety requirements for industrial facilities in Saudi Arabia, particularly those associated with the oil and gas sector. HCIS requirements specify additional submission formats, inspection procedures, and system specifications beyond the standard GDCD process. Facilities subject to HCIS jurisdiction require a fire safety plan submission to HCIS in addition to the standard Saudi Civil Defense design approval package. Multi Goals prepares both submission sets and manages parallel approval processes for qualifying facilities.

Fire Protection Systems for Oil and Gas Facilities

Fire Protection Systems for Oil and Gas Facilities

  • Foam suppression systems to NFPA 11 for flammable liquid storage tanks, loading areas, and process equipment involving Class B liquid hazards.
  • Water spray fixed systems to NFPA 15 for cooling of storage vessels, process equipment, and structural steel exposed to potential fire radiation.
  • Deluge systems to NFPA 15 for transformer protection, electrical substations, and high-value process equipment areas.
  • Fire hydrant systems with external hydrant ring mains around facility perimeters for fire brigade operations
  • Fire alarm systems with flame detectors, heat detectors, and gas detection integration for early warning of flammable vapour releases.
  • Passive fire protection for control rooms, administration buildings, and occupied structures within the facility boundary.
  • Portable fire extinguishers including CO2 for electrical equipment areas and dry powder for outdoor flammable liquid handling areas.

Foam Suppression for Flammable Liquid Hazards

Foam suppression is the primary suppression method for Class B flammable liquid fires. Low-expansion foam forms a blanket over the burning liquid surface, sealing it from the atmosphere and cooling the fuel below its flash point. Medium and high-expansion foam provides volumetric fill for enclosed spaces such as pump rooms and loading areas. NFPA 11 governs foam system design, application rates, and foam concentrate selection. Multi Goals selects the correct foam concentrate type, fluoroprotein or aqueous film-forming foam, for the specific liquid hazard class present at each facility.

Frequently Asked Questions

Oil and gas facilities typically require foam suppression for flammable liquid storage and process areas, water spray systems for vessel cooling, deluge for electrical equipment protection, fire hydrant systems for brigade operations, fire alarm systems with flame and gas detection, passive fire protection for occupied structures, and portable fire extinguishers matched to each hazard zone.

HCIS, the High Commission for Industrial Security, governs fire and safety requirements for industrial facilities associated with the oil and gas sector in Saudi Arabia. HCIS requirements specify additional submission formats and system specifications beyond the standard Civil Defense process. Multi Goals manages both HCIS and Civil Defense approval processes for qualifying facilities in the Eastern Province and beyond.

Standard water sprinklers are not effective on Class B flammable liquid fires and can spread burning liquid by creating turbulence. Foam suppression works by forming a blanket over the burning liquid surface that seals it from the atmosphere and cools the fuel below its flash point. NFPA 11 governs all foam system design requirements.
