DRIVERS FOR OFFSHORE LNG
Cost Competitive cost in number of areas Environmental Strong environmental lobby amongst local communities against onshore facilities (e.g. US East Coast, California, Baja California, Italy) No environmental impact on shore line Security and safety Remote from inhabitants, hence consequences of accident limited Contain or lower risk arising out of terrorist threat post 9/11 Regulatory Planning / permitting may be shorter for offshore facilities In the US for example, permitting for offshore facilities falls under US Coast Guard rather than FERC. US Coast Guard decisions made within a year

LNG FSRU - WHY?
Potential LNG FSRU Typical land-based terminal

A floating LNG receiving terminal is hard to notice from shore. Break-water and turning basin required

LNG FSRU - WHAT IS IT?
The FSRU is a steel mono-hull with: LNG storage tanks Re-gasification plant
MOORING

Crew facilities with control room and utility machinery Moored with an external turret, soft yoke arrangement or STL for free weather-vaning Gas send-out line arranged through the mooring system down to the seabed and from there directly to the shore manifold LNG Carriers berthing side-by-side for offloading

DESIGN PHILOSOPHY
Well proven technology in all respects Inherently safe High reliability & redundancy Simple Easy to maintain Design life of 40 years for hull and LNG tanks

ADVANTAGES
No environmental impact on shore line High degree of safety Fabricated in shipyard Significant overall cost savings (Capex) Early import of gas and early revenue No real estate cost and no reduction in real estate value Relocation possibility Pipe lines and cables can be landed in the best location with respect to existing infrastructure

Only two LNG Carriers of this type in operation No filling restrictions Extensive internal structural stiffeners Prone to structural fatigue Questionable if subjected by sloshing
A company of

Long experience from LNG carriers Excellent track record Not affected by sloshing No filling restrictions No internal stiffeners Excellent fatigue properties No modifications to containment system needed for use as FSRU

Long experience from LNG carriers Good track record Affected by sloshing Filling restrictions

SLOSHING PHENOMENA

No problem.

The sloshing phenomena occur when the ship motions coincide with the natural frequency of the liquid motion in the tanks. The build-up of violent motion is due to frequency, not amplitude.
A company of
O:2000\\2005\norsk offshore dag\11

The sloshing phenomena takes place in partially filled tanks. A floating LNG Terminal is always partially filled.

Emissions and Effluents
The FSRU will be designed and built to minimize harmful effects on the local environment: Use of gas instead of oil for power generation (zero particle- and SOx emissions) No flaring of gas during normal service Complete on-board sewage treatment Complete on-board waste compacting or incineration plant No chemical effluents NORMAL EMMISSIONS AND RELEASES Exhaust gas from power generation Seawater for regas plant (4 MMTPA) (normal water circulation 10,000 tons/h, temperature reduction 6.5 C) ACCIDENTAL EMISSIONS AND RELEASES Cold vent of natural gas (in case of system de-pressuration) LNG spillage during loading operation

TECHNOLOGY STATUS
Offshore LNG facilities technology has matured to a point where it enables the jump from traditional onshore to offshore facilities Floating (FPSO/FSRU) and fixed (GBS) structures, using either steel or concrete hull Wealth of knowledge from the now mature oil FPSO sector which can be transferred to FPSO/FSRU LNG facilities design and operation FRSUs currently in approval phase (Livorno, Cabrillo Port,Baja California) LNG carrier technology knowledge transfer GBS concrete receiving terminals are currently under FEED stage (Rovigo, Pelican, Baja California, Gulf of Mexico) Cryogenic storage well understood and integration not major issue
