1 ANNUAL MEETING MASTER OF PETROLEUM ENGINEERING 3/May/2016 Instituto Superior Técnico 1

2 Agenda Natural Gas and LNG Changes in the LNG Supply Chain FLNG State of the Art / Risks Findings about the CSF for FLNGs so far The next step 3/May/2016 Instituto Superior Técnico 2

3 Is there a future for Natural Gas? 8.7 Billion people by 2035 China and India will grow 5.5 % (average) until 2035 World s GDP/capita estimated to increase 75% Demand for Natural Gas will grow 1.9 % / year Transportation using natural gas will grow 3% / year Source: BP Energy Outlook 2035 Report, February /May/2016 Instituto Superior Técnico 3

4 Liquified Natural Gas Demand is real What about the supply? Source: BP Energy Outlook 2035 Report, February /May/2016 Instituto Superior Técnico 4

5 Evolution of LNG Global Trade Source: U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission - HÖEGH LNG PARTNERS LP, July 3, /May/2016 Instituto Superior Técnico 5

6 Liquified Natural Gas what is it? Between 87% mol to 99% mol of methane (CH 4 ) The liquefaction process involves removal of certain components Condensed into a liquid at close to atmospheric pressure by cooling it to approximately 162 C Takes up about 1/600 th the volume of natural gas in the gaseous state 3/May/2016 Instituto Superior Técnico 6

7 Why LNG? LNG industry has supplied markets without gas from places with gas without a market Safe Possibility of storage Environmental friendly 3/May/2016 Instituto Superior Técnico 7

8 LNG Industry essential ingredients Sufficient gas reserves Long term commitments Access to Capital Strong relationships amongst all stakeholders External advisers Government regulations Ironically, this happens with the simplest hidrocarbon molecule! 3/May/2016 Instituto Superior Técnico 8

9 The problem is Many potential reservoirs, but -> too small / too far ->onshore `no-go zones 3/May/2016 Instituto Superior Técnico 9

10 Furthermore Other entrants in the market, i.e. Other substitutes, i.e. 3/May/2016 Instituto Superior Técnico 10

11 Changes in the traditional LNG Supply Chain Source: FLNG DETERMINING THE TECHNICAL AND COMMERCIAL BOUNDARIES, KBR 3/May/2016 Instituto Superior Técnico 11

12 FLNG What is it? Floating, Production, Liquefaction, Storage, Offloading the possibility to monetize undeveloped or stranded gas fields 3/May/2016 Instituto Superior Técnico 12

13 Why is this topic relevant? Source: KPMG Global Energy Institute, LNG report series /May/2016 Instituto Superior Técnico 13

14 FLNG Technology potencially reduces Cost Environment footprint No need for long pipelines to shore; compression platforms to push the gas to shore; nearshore works such as dredging and jetty construction; onshore development such as building roads, laydown areas and accommodation facilities. 3/May/2016 Instituto Superior Técnico 14

19 Commercial Risks Contractor and Fabrication Competence Project Execution Availability Oil and Gas Prices 3/May/2016 Instituto Superior Técnico 19

20 Is the design extrapolation from An FPSO Onshore LNG project a slight deviation or a completely new application? 3/May/2016 Instituto Superior Técnico 20

21 The Critical Success Factors for FLNGs so far Interface Management PM and PMT Stakeholders Scope of Work Critical Success Factors Regulatory Framework Cost Management and Finance FEED Planning 3/May/2016 Instituto Superior Técnico 21

22 The next step Interview with experts across the value chain 3/May/2016 Instituto Superior Técnico 22
