Question 1.3
Year established?
Worley Heritage
From that point, Worley grew steadily both geographically and in terms of
industry sectors serviced. Geographic coverage extended first into South East
Asia, then to North America, and later to the Middle East. When listed on the
Australian Stock Exchange (ASX) in November 2002, Worley had operating
offices in 14 countries. By July 2004, this had increased to 18 countries. A
policy of diversification saw Worley grow from providing services in the Oil &
Gas sector into Industrial & Infrastructure, Minerals Metals & Chemicals, and
Power & Water.
Worley also setup partnerships and joint ventures with other project service
providers in order to present clients with a complete solution for projects or in
supporting facility operations. Such partnerships have been with some of the
global leaders such as Fluor, Bechtel, Kvaerner and KBR. Worley also formed
two successful partnerships with Parsons E&C, the Parsons Worley Team that
was formed to provide services to the US Army Corps of Engineers for the
restoration of Iraqi Oil Infrastructure, and WorleyParsons Energy Services,
which combined the US based Upstream Hydrocarbons capabilities of Worley
and Parsons E&C. In 2004, building on the track record of these
partnerships, Worley acquired Parsons E&C Corporation.
Parsons Heritage
In 1944, Ralph M. Parsons started what is now the Parsons Corporation in Los
Angeles. Parsons E&C operated as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parsons
Corp. providing engineering, procurement, construction, construction
management, and program management services to clients in the energy
sector. At the beginning of 2002, Parsons Corporation separated Parsons E&C
Page 4 of 35
Request for Information - Global EPCM Services
from the other business units by transferring its ownership from Parsons
Corporation directly to the Parsons Employee Stock Ownership Program
(ESOP), thereby establishing Parsons E&C as an independent entity and a
sister company to, rather than subsidiary of, Parsons Corporation. This was in
recognition that the kind of projects executed by Parsons E&C for its energy
sector clients operated under different business conditions than the consulting
and general services provided by the other Parsons global business units. This
separation also acknowledged the fact that the size and resources of Parsons
E&C allowed it to function on its own. Parsons E&C is widely recognized for its
provision of high-quality project services to the Oil & Gas, Refining,
Petrochemicals & Chemicals, and Power sectors globally, with excess of 5,400
personnel operating in 16 countries. In its 60 year history, Parsons E&C has
designed, constructed, or managed the construction of more than 250 gas
processing plants, 600 chemical and petrochemical facilities, and 370 power
plants worldwide.

The acquisitions of SEA Engineering in 2007 and INTEC in April 2008, leading
international offshore deepwater Hydrocarbons engineering and project
services companies, completed the missing link in WorleyParsons’
hydrocarbons business and strategically positioned the company to provide
comprehensive solutions for large scale integrated deepwater facilities, subsea
and marine systems projects.
The acquisition of Westmar, a leading Canadian based marine and port facility,
resource and mining infrastructure, bulk material handling and transportation
specialist, is an important step in further extending the Infrastructure and
Minerals & Metals capabilities in both Canada and international markets.

Since skills development and transfer of knowledge are the most significant
issues, the options that WorleyParsons SA has as a member of a global
company are:
Through funding engineering students’ tuition and offering the new graduate
employment opportunities. Implement our graduate training and development
programme and where possible partner with Anglo on skills transfer, by
seconding graduates to Anglo project for inter-skill transfer

f WorleyParsons SA will identify local EME and SQE companies within the
vicinity of Anglo operations, which they can subcontract for complementary
engineering services. This will promote creation of local capacity. Identify
and develop EME and SQE supplier. This programme shall essentially
promote EME and SQE for preferential procurement and assist them to
meet project requirements.
f Where feasible and viable WorleyParsons SA will form Joint ventures with
a BBBEE companies. This process in intended to complement core
competence within the WorleyParsons SA and develop future alliances,
through active participation in projects and development of black emerging
engineering companies.
Graduate engineers and technicians will form the majority of candidates within
the training programme due to a shortage of such skills in that field. Through
the WorleyParsons SA graduate training programme and international
alliances, candidates will be seconded to assignments that may be conducted
both locally and internationally.

Question 1.7
Kindly attach three years' financial information for your company, as well as for
your group of companies
Annual Reports for 2006, 2007 and 2008 are appended as Attachment 14.2.
The Company does not disclose expected revenue for the current financial
year as this is commercially sensitive information.
However, please see extract below from the Chairman’s address at the AGM
held on 28 October 2008 which is published on the WorleyParsons website
within the investor relations menu:
‘Outlook - We have had a solid start to the 2009 financial year and would
expect to achieve good growth in the first half of the year as compared to the
corresponding period last year.
Looking further ahead for the remainder of this year in these uncertain times is
somewhat difficult. However despite some projects affected by the global
market situation our business model continues to serve us well with strong
activity in all customer sectors. We are also benefiting from the lower
Australian dollar compared to other currencies. Currently, we expect the
second half of this financial year to be better than the first half and to report
good growth for the full 2009 financial year.’
For many companies profit margin is struck before overheads (eg excluding
head office costs). WP disclosed profit after all expenses, hence the figures
relating to EBIT (earnings before interest and tax) are used in the profit
margins, as disclosed in the accounts. As our accounts are in AUD the

Question 1.9
What is you current order book and backlog over the next 3 to 5 years?
Macro Position I
WorleyParsons has grown significantly over the past five years – refer figure
1.9-1.
Today it is one of the top fifty listed companies in Australia with a unique global
reach across 32 countries.
A key to growth has been the ability to create offices in remote locations and
attract high quality personnel to build strong local capability to be
supplemented by larger “hub” offices. This has been a proven methodology in
Angola, Nigeria, Kazakhstan, Ukraine, Russia, Alaska etc.
The growth of the firm has been both organic and through acquisition.
Seventeen firms have been acquired in the past five years and successfully
migrated into the global enterprise. These companies have provided valuable
capability (pyrometalurgy, gas cleaning, environmental consulting, heavy haul
rail, ports, bulk material handling systems etc) and geographic positioning.

Industrial/Petroleum 2 Asia 3
Power 3 Canada 1
Fossil Fuels 1
It has been a major focus of the firm to build strong capability in engineering,
procurement, construction and project management so full service delivery can
be provided to customers around the world. Over A$50M has been invested
over recent years in systems to support project delivery and ensure accuracy,
transparency and accountability.
Macro Position II
The financial crisis that has influenced many of the resource businesses
around the world will have an impact on engineering and project service
contractors. It is anticipated that some projects will be delayed or cancelled.
This will release a number of personnel to be redirected at projects that are
proceeding or to be placed within a number of the long term contracts held
around the world. While some adjustments will need to be made in the current
market, these long-term arrangements ensure this process is likely to have
minor impact.

WorleyParsons has a broad cross section of customers from each tier in the
resource and energy market and expects to see increasing availability of
personnel to maintain and expand services to the tier one companies in each
sector. It is important to note that >50% of our global revenue is from contracts
that have a term of greater than 3 years.

WorleyParsons Core Value for HSE is the concept of Zero Harm to the Health
and Safety of personnel as well as to the Environment. WorleyParsons’ vision
of Zero Harm is a living process which encourages all employees to contribute
towards achieving this goal. Those who make significant contributions are
given recognition within the organisation.
In striving to achieve Zero Harm to people and assets, and zero environmental
incidents, the scope of OneWay™ encompasses much more than a
conventional health, safety and environment (HSE) program. It includes
matters such as risk management, technical integrity, competency,
management of change and incident management across all sectors of
WorleyParsons’ business. In addition it provides guidance on how
WorleyParsons interacts with its joint venture partners, customers, vendors
and contractors to engage them in working towards the same vision.

Question 3.8
Do you have qualification and training programs in place? How do you ensure
systematic qualification (in-house/external) of engineering staff/technical staff?
Additionally our Mentoring Programs which start through the Graduate Training
Schemes and continue well into each employee’s professional career, help
leverage the company's most valuable resources: our people. We pair a
promising employee with an experienced one. The mentor instructs by
example, conveys the company's values, demonstrates how to perform
specific functions and serves as the mentee's advocate. Mentoring builds
confidence, shortens learning curves, clarifies expectations and boosts
employee retention rates. It is also a valuable succession planning tool that is
utilised to promote employees into new positions.
We also have Improve specific training programs for our senior Improve
managers. This program is focused on the key processes that surround the
delivery of a portfolio of capital projects and the critical areas of client focus,
team management and leadership.
All employees are also regularly provided internal and external training courses
such as computer and software training, presentation skills, time management
classes, technical writing and communication courses, project risk
management workshops, and project and contract management courses.
These courses are all provided in addition to courses specific to the
employee’s discipline.
All of our offices also administer “High-Potential Schemes” which help ensure
the retention of “high potential” personnel. The High-Potential Schemes ensure
that staff showing high potential are first identified, and then ensures that they
are given advice and career direction by senior corporate management.

The upgraded plan for the ammonia plant will result in it too being the biggest
in the world.
While projects are increasing in size and complexity around the world, they are
rarely executed from a single location. WorleyParsons’ approach to the
Ma’aden development highlights the requirement of appropriate global
expertise working in a synchronized manner to deliver a diverse and detailed
range of EPC packages to the international contracting market. Collectively
over 350 personnel, including 180 in Al Khobar, in five global offices, were
devoted to successfully ensuring all the packages were released to the market
and that control of the execution strategy was maintained.

In May 2008, the ambitions of Fortescue Metals Group to establish a new iron
ore operation were realised when the first shipment of iron ore departed Port
Hedland headed for China. This milestone marked the culmination of more
than three and a half years of services provided by WorleyParsons.
Following its successful execution of the definitive feasibility study and front-
end engineering design, WorleyParsons was appointed to take the project from
design through construction, and ultimately practical completion. Construction
began in February 2006 and was completed in May 2008 with practical
completion being achieved in July 2008. Support to the project was provided
through the Minerals & Metals and Infrastructure & Environment customer
sector groups, including specialist technical services such as rail car design,
expediting services (provided by MaisonWorleyParsons) and power generation
and distribution engineering.

Project Challenges
Anglo will have noticed throughout the submission that we are very reluctant to
ever speak publicly about our customers and our work. We have remained the
“quiet” player within the contracting industry and aimed for our execution to
speak on our behalf. We are reluctant to record our customers’ names to the
following examples – we respect our customers’ privilege of not having their
projects displayed in formal documentation without their permission.
We are proud that every Minerals and Metals alliance has been renewed on
each occasion. We are able to offer some examples where the outcomes
being sought by the customer were not being achieved and we needed to
collectively address the issue – problems in alliances are rarely ever the sole
concern of the contractor or the owner, but a shared issue.
In every alliance there comes a point where the “traditional” approach that has
been delivering a less than optimal outcome. Often the alliance has been
created to address this “traditional” malaise but the appointment on an alliance
services provider is not enough to overcome the challenge. A classic example
is internal resistance from people not wishing to act in a disciplined manner.
Collectively we need to confront these issues and get the whole integrated
team aligned. So we undertake health checks, workshops, business planning
with customer to drive toward alignment and shared goals. A key for us is to
identify a champion on the customers’ side who will act as an advocate and
strong supporter to get the message into their jargon/language.

Example 1:
Three years ago our oversight of one contract was not strong enough and
resulted under performance and misalignment of objectives during the middle
of an alliance contract. Rather than continue “the Blame Game” we undertook
the drastic step of changing out most of the senior management team,
established a 90 day recovery plans which had very specific targets,
established an alliance improvement team with a core of senior managers from
both organizations, including a recovery manager, and put at risk all of our
profit.
Example 2:
One of longest held alliances was critical of our cost performance and wanted
to benchmark our efforts against similar contracts in the other hemisphere and
against companies outside of their industry. This is a common problem –
justifying the value that the alliance is bringing to the operation. Historically
this was because alliances were seen as just inputs to the process of projects.
Our vision has always been to design the alliances on outcome focused
performance contracting.
External benchmarking confirmed the value that was being generated by the
alliance and individual performance measures indicated top quintile outcomes.
To address the second issue WorleyParsons created the Best Practice Forum.
This event was held over ten years and drew a broad range of alliance
contractors from different sectors to table to discuss common problems. Over
800 people from 65 companies attended the most recent session.

Example 3
Ten years ago WorleyParsons was growing aggressively through the support
of a number of key customers. As their confidence grew in our engineering
ability we were offered more and more conceptual work and were able to excel
at this activity – small teams of high end technical specialists. Additionally we
were requested to undertake EPCM and reimbursable EPC roles for
customers. A natural extension of our services we thought – couldn’t be too
hard.
We soon learnt that we didn’t know what we didn’t know. We discovered our
systems were not designed for EPCM responsibilities and our project
managers of engineering scopes were not necessarily ideal leaders for these
new tasks.

Our role in the TCO Asset Development Program began in 1998 with the
conceptual engineering phase. This early phase of the project operated under
a rigid methodology of creating innovative ideas, developing those ideas,
determining the value and probability of moving the ideas forward, and finally
reporting on the disposition of each innovation. The project was rated against
IPA's Project Development Rating Index (PDRI) receiving a maximum score
and contract incentive award. The selected conceptual design progressed to
front-end loading (FEL) in 2001, which was again successfully concluded by
being awarded “Best Practical Front End Loading” by IPA.
One of the biggest challenges the project faced was the delivery of over 100
out-of-gauge items of equipment from around the world. These items were too
large to be transported using conventional methods, with sizes reaching up to
eight metres diameter and sixty metres long.
The project utilised multiple workshares. During the peak of engineering the
engineering services were split vertically (by unit) between London
(Camberley) Atyrau and Houston. Procurement was worldwide with a
percentage in Kazakhstan to meet TCO driven Kazakh content requirements.
Piling commenced in Tengiz in August 2003 and was concluded with over
27,000 piles being driven. A total of 170,000 cubic meters of concrete has
been poured (as much as it took to construct the 452 meter high Petronas

Tower in Kuala Lumpur). The largest pours were for the turbine foundations at
750 cubic metres each.
40,000 tonnes of steelwork have been fabricated and erected. 960,000 metres

Worley Parsons provided a peak of 50 key people for the Kemya Program
Management Team. These people were located in Pasadena, California; The
Hague, the Netherlands; and Manchester, UK. The WorleyParsons people
were completely integrated with ExxonMobil and Kemya people to form the
Program Management Team. The Pasadena group managed the LLDPE
expansion, Offsites and the Computer Control System. The Hague team
managed the Ethylene project and the Manchester team managed the LDPE
portion of the project. The Program Management Team helped to bring the
project to a very safe, on schedule and under budget conclusion.
The second component dealt with the FEED and EPCM execution of the
expansion of the existing LLDPE plant and OSBL facilities.

Request for Information - Global EPCM Services
Over and above the mandatory WPMP requirements for project reviews,
WorleyParsons applies a suite of Peer (“Cold Eyes”) Reviews across the
various phases of a major project. These Peer reviews are held regularly but
particularly towards the definitive feasibility phase to determine “the readiness”
of the project to move into implementation.

Page 22 of 34
Request for Information - Global EPCM Services
Question 4.7
Please describe from your perspective how you balance the focus on cost and
bringing forward technological advancement.
Through focus on these critical early stages, the Select phase progressively
adds definition, at the same time reducing risk; and maximizes the inherent
value and assesses probable costs. Each of these stages involve robust
assessment of technological advancement against cost
advantages/disadvantages. Typically the Identify stage (Scoping) will identify
potential application of technological advancement and determine at a
conceptual level, whether this option warrants more robust investigation in the
Evaluate stage (Pre-feasibility).
The Define stage which immediately follows Select, should fully define any
technical advancements through any required detailed test work programs and
advancement of basic engineering. However, in the Define stage we believe it
is vital to have capacity in the schedule to revisit technology advancements,
particularly if confirmatory test work results identify ongoing technical issues,
which have the capacity to have significant impact on the engineering and
equipment selection processes. Early structuring of test work programs in the
Define stage is vital.

Question 4.8
The success of our global project delivery capabilities and project management
methodologies is underpinned by the WorleyParsons Project Management
Process (WPMP). The WPMP is a key feature of our Enterprise Management
System (EMS V3), which along with sophisticated communication
infrastructure and industry leading design software, is deployed globally across
all offices. This provides alignment required for WorleyParsons to achieve its
goal of efficient global collaboration on projects large and small.
Using WPMP and EMS WorleyParsons will produce the quality of engineering
and procurement deliverables required to develop facilities that are: safe, start-
up according to plan, and have superior technical integrity and operating
efficiency regardless of the project team’s location.
Please refer to Sections 6 and 8.3 which outline our systems and
methodologies for executing projects in more detail.

The project risk management process enables the project team to collectively
brainstorm threats and opportunities that may impact on project success. This
enables the team to understand the broader picture, the overall priorities and
how they can participate in managing these risks. Using this process assists in
team building and captures experience and lessons learned from recent and
similar projects. It also facilitates early identification and management of risks
in a proactive manner.

The consequence and likelihood provide a risk rating to each risk. Ratings are
as follows:
Action plans are developed by the team to effectively manage the identified
risks. Priority 1 risks are dealt with first, then priority 2, 3 and 4 (if time permits).
This step is often assigned to personnel to develop action plans outside the
risk workshop as further information and detail is required to determine the
most appropriate treatment method.
Discuss the actions and priorities with the broader project team to ensure they
are incorporated into the project scope. Obtain feedback from project team on
emerging risks and effectiveness of actions during project.
Track action close out progress regularly to ensure they are completed.

Knowledge Sharing
FTP services provide a basic, but convenient and robust means whereby
authorised parties can transfer data to and from a central depository. It is
particularly useful for the transfer of large data files such as CAD drawings.
Projects can be allocated their own file space on the central WorleyParsons
FTP server. Users can access the FTP site either through a web browser or
other specific FTP programs. Files on the server are secure as the data is
administered, stored and backed-up as a central company service.
The SureSync utility program is used in conjunction with FTP to transfer data
files from their origin to a remote location via the WorleyParsons WAN.
WorleyParsons uses SureSync in conjunction with the Encompass document
management system. To make the best use of available bandwidth to remote
sites, transfer of data files can be scheduled to occur during the non-working
hours.

of the materials we have experience of procuring that directly relate to mining
projects.
Page 5 of 7
Request for Information - Global EPCM Services
Question 7.5
Since most of our projects are procured on client paper or on behalf of our
clients the opportunity to maximise leverage and bundling potential is governed
by the schedule, status and specification of materials for individual projects. To
progress a true bundling strategy we would need to develop a cross-customer
alignment principle which would be dependent upon similar projects running
concurrently.
Page 6 of 7
Request for Information - Global EPCM Services
Question 7.6
Do you have long term relationships/ contracts with major suppliers in the
mining industry? Do you re-bid on regular basis to stay within market prices?
WorleyParsons does not have formal long term contracts with major suppliers
because our projects and selected vendors tend to be specific to the client and
or project. We do have extensive experience with the procurement of
equipment and materials for mining projects, including supply from China
where we have been successful in providing clients with significant cost
benefit. The global supply base of the major components for mining projects is
limited and our position as one of the major EPCM contractors in this sector
ensures that we are able to monitor performance and pricing trends of key
vendors. Since we are continually in contact with these vendors we have
developed long term relationships with senior management and are therefore
able to influence performance at varying levels on behalf of our clients.

Question 9.3
We have the talent and experience to safely and professionally satisfy Anglo
American’s construction and installation programs.
Our constructability concept identifies two separate processes. The first is the
formal process characterized by a strict work regimen supported by
procedures that ensure constructability and construction input is incorporated
into the design at significant milestones of the project. This is a structured
design review through VIP workshops at intervals stipulated in the
WorleyParsons Project Management Process (WPMP) and is driven by the
Project Manager who identifies the milestones and coordinates constructability
opportunities.
The second, and what we feel is our differentiator in this industry, is our
informal Constructability Program. We have found and encourage the informal
interaction between construction and design personnel which provides a higher
level of ownership by our construction specialists as the project matures into
the Execute Stage. This is an extremely beneficial conduit in the transfer of

Question 10.13
Further, we believe based on strong experience that for KPIs to generate the
right behaviours they need to be clearly-defined, measurable and
tangible/achievable. There has been an industry trend to make too complex
which does is not conducive to long-term, sustainable arrangements.
Therefore core project performance measures of schedule, cost and HSE, with
an appropriate specific project balance between some or all three, is an
approach which has considerable merit.
In the buoyant market conditions of the past five years, KPIs and the Fee
Model were often struck on major Greenfield projects, in an escalating cost
environment with projects subject to major work scope changes. Overlaying
complex KPIs in this environment, creates unachievable KPIs that add very
little to project behaviours. Fortunately the industry is in a market where KPIs
can be sensibly applied. Please also refer to our guiding principles to risk /
reward model in our response to Question 4.11.

Supplier’s Vision
Question 10.17
Please describe your plans for future involvement and business development.
Clearly the global downturn and depressed commodity prices will result in
adjustments to future business strategy. In this regard the Company will shortly
commence its global strategic planning process in preparation for the 2009/10
Financial Year. Regardless of any adjustments arising from that process, there
are a number of key elements of the Global Minerals and Metals Strategy that
will continue to be implemented across the current downturn, as unequivocal
long-term commitment to the industry.
Page 22 of 26
Request for Information - Global EPCM Services
continued drive for enhancement of systems. The current global roll-out of our
OneWay™ initiative (enterprise wide framework for Zero Harm vision) is clear
demonstration of that ongoing commitment.
WorleyParsons has made considerable progress over the past five years in
developing a suite of high-quality front-end feasibility capabilities Select around
the globe, built around key technologies. While we will see a marked downturn
in Greenfield major project activity in a number of commodities, these “centres
of excellence” will take on key importance to meet a growing pipeline of
feasibility work. By way of example, the Perth office has firmly established itself
as the centre of excellence for iron ore materials handling, and delivery of
major “pit –to-port” projects. Through the ARA Joint Venture in Santiago, this
office has built a centre of excellence around base metals flotation technology
and is rapidly building its SX-EW capability. The Melbourne office has
developed a strong capability in base metals smelting and gas cleaning.
WorleyParsons will remain proactive in the recruitment of key individuals to
further strengthen these Select centres.
Delivery of major projects such as the Fortescue Metals and Karara Iron Ore
Projects has enabled the business to develop a globally recognised capability
in “pit-to-port” mega projects. This capability harnesses the full multi Customer
Sector Group (CSG) offering which includes significant infrastructure and
power capabilities. The significant experience of the major Hydrocarbons CSG
is also applied through their immense procurement, logistics and construction
management knowledge developed on often very remote projects in harsh
environments. This “pit-to-port” capability has been applied from the very early
stages of these projects to achieve clear project definition (both technical and
delivery) and certainty, with the Perth office having been involved in all
feasibility phases of these major projects.
We also believe it is good environment to refine and further build our emerging
High Value Project Delivery (HVPD) Model, as it will be a better market
environment for clients to fully appreciate its value. The model largely built
around the Company’s established and 1,500 person business in Beijing,
offers clients considerable efficiencies in project delivery across engineering,
procurement and construction management. The market response has already
been very positive, and the methodology is being applied to a number of key
projects.

Question 10.18
While initially a business model which was very successfully applied in the

globally is demonstrated in the Hydrocarbons Customer Sector Group, where
that business has concluded global alliances with both BP and ConocoPhillips
over recent years.

Environmental Management
Firstly, there is our OneWay™. In striving to achieve zero harm to people, the
environment and assets, the scope of OneWay™ covers much more than a
conventional HSE program. This system consists of HSE management
framework that integrates and aligns systems, defines accountabilities and
sets behavioural expectations that reflect a commitment to the OneWay™
values across the entire organisation. The framework consists of 12 process
steps (elements), each of which includes an underlying intent statement and a
set of activities for the effective management of HSE within WorleyParsons
globally.
Ownership and accountability rests with the entire organisation to ensure the
long term success and sustainability of the OneWay™ Management System.
The implementation of OneWay™ is not a standalone effort. It is driven by line
management and will be integrated into every aspect of business planning and
operations. The OneWay™ HSE Management System is integrated with the
overall management system, namely WorleyParsons Enterprise Management
System (EMS).

Question 12.6
While there are no limits on the areas in which commitments can be made, a
deep and abiding dedication to education, as an asset for the community and
its future generations, has emerged – from programs to deliver used
computers to schools from Bangkok to Zanzibar; to contributions to funding of
engineering and environmental schools at universities from London to Lagos.
Scholarships we provide include those to 11 students from tsunami-affected
Banda Aceh who are studying engineering at the University of Siyah Kuala in
Indonesia and those for postgraduate education in Al Khobar, providing the
opportunity to study in Australia.
Our commitment to health, safety and the environment also comes through in
the projects our people choose for them and us to support. In Australia, the
team at Port Hedland organized an inventive program to raise funds for the
Royal Flying Doctor Service; in Nigeria the team created a safety culture in the
M&D Nursery & Primary School in Ogba, Lagos; in Houston we joined the 11th
Annual Cystic Fibrosis Sports Challenge; in the United Kingdom the Brentford
Team actively supported breast cancer research; and across the United States
and Canada funds were raised in support of United Way – to name a few.
In May this year, the earthquake in Sichuan, China caused great sadness to us
all but especially to our Chinese colleagues. Employees from all of our offices
in China donated to those in need and, with the WorleyParsons RMB1 million
donation to the Chinese Red Cross, were able to donate over RMB1.25 million.
Donations also came from our offices in Malaysia, Abu Dhabi, Canada and
Australia.

Our EcoNomics™ approach provides a service more powerful than the usual
environmental and social add-on to core engineering services. EcoNomics™ is
fully embedded and will not only deal with critical technical issues, but also
integrate the best environmental, social and financial thinking into the
engineering and management of the project to ensure the most sustainable
outcomes. This can help to realise a number of significant benefits in terms of
reducing business risk and unlocking opportunities (now and in the future);
creating long-term business resilience against regulatory, global economic and
regional climate changes, designing a facility that will operate more efficiently
with reduced OPEX, with less energy consumption and emissions; and create
a vital link with stakeholders to provide wider project support.

The design is based upon two process trains, each of 1.5Mtpa capacity (the

The proposed site for the refinery is well served by transportation links to the
Port of Kamsar on the Atlantic coast of Guinea, and is adjacent to the existing
industrial operation of CBG Mining. When operating at its full production
capacity of 3.0Mtpa of alumina, the refinery will consume approximately
