Range of LNG Components Typical composition ranges in LNG (mol%) Component Min Max Nitrogen < 1 3 Methane 87 99 Ethane 1 10 Propane < 1 5 Butane < 1 1 Pipeline transport of gas is the most efficient strategy Limited by distance to market and terrain Liquefying natural gas components Reduced temperature to ~ 160 C (atmospheric pressure) Transport from producers (e.g. Australia) to consumers (e.g. Japan) Enables longer distance transport via sea Benefits of LNG-Based Transport Significant increase in density: 30 C and 100 bar: NG is gas with density 94 kg/m 3 150 C and 200 bar: NG is liquid with density 460 kg/m 3 In this example, LNG shipping volume 5 times more efficient! Natural gas requires treatment to remove unwanted components Product must meet pipeline specifications Remove excess nitrogen, hydrogen sulphide, carbon dioxide, mercury Strip away heavier components (even in trace amounts!)

Technical Challenges Outside the pipeline Seabed super sized anchoring ( scale ), short tiebacks ( cow ) Wave structure interaction cyclones and offloading In the pipeline Flow assurance Mooring giant FLNG facilities Very large floating facilities required to stay on station in very rough weather conditions need very big anchors to hold them in place. Courtesy of Fugro AG Mooring giant FLNG facilities Chain-seabed interaction Large mooring forces due to cyclonic wind and waves Variable seabeds hard, soft, layered Pushing envelope of chain and anchor capacity Chain anchor interaction: Hard soil bad chain pulls upward on anchor, which is weak direction Soft soil low anchor capacity UWA has developed novel anchors and new chain simulation methods 50 m All drawn at same scale OTC26032 O Loughlin et al. 2015 20 MN 2000 tonnes OTC27102 Frankenmolen et al. 2016 This material is copyright of the authors and may not be reused without the consent of the authors. 12

Chain-seabed interaction Movie of chain being pulled tight Vessel motions Cyclonic Is the vessel securely moored in position (see previous example) Are the vessel motions acceptable for comfort and safety? Day to day Can LNG be offloaded by tanker? Side by side FLNG LNGC is currently technology Sets envelope of FLNG and LNGC relative motions, limited by reach of loading arms Annual production limited by number of cargos that can be offloaded and therefore frequency and length windows when vessel motions would be excessive Sloshing of LNG within LNGC adds www.shell.com.au complexity to motion predictions Vessel motions FLNG and FPSO motions (Prelude) FLNG Western Australia Central North Sea Northern North Sea FPSO Western Australia Central North Sea Northern North Sea www.houstonchronicle.com www.houstonchronicle.com https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wvsan-tlpyc Zhao W. & Efthymiou M.

Financing of FLNG The first wave of FLNG projects was self funded Shell had no partners and no finance for Prelude Since FID, Shell have partnered with INPEX (17.5%), KOGAS (10%) and OPIC (5%) on Prelude. Image courtesy Shell Financing of FLNG Project structure will largely determine the risk profile for a bank. If it is a corporate financing the main concern will be the credit risk of the borrower or any parent / sponsor guarantor. If, however, it is structured on a project finance basis, cash flow could be affected by one or more of the risks stated below, and it will be key to determining the viability of the project and its pricing. The principal risks involved with FLNG projects would include: Reservoir and offtake risks Political risks Design and construction risks Market risks Technological risks Operational risks including health and safety and environmental risks Force majeure (perils of the sea, etc.) Structural, legal and credit risks Image courtesy Shell FLNG entirely offshore FLNG entirely offshore Turning constraints of FLNG to advantage Potentially no requirement for WA Domgas Western Australia s Domgas reservation policy requires LNG Producers to make available Domgas equivalent to 15% of LNG production LNG price delivered to Japan typically A$14.5/MMBTU (A$14/GJ), with cost of liquefaction A$3.50/MMBTU and shipping costs A$1/MMBTU * Domestic gas price typically A$4 6/MMBTU * 8% Revenue Component 18% 74% Export Gas DomGas Condensate Pie Chart: based on data from UWA Subsea Technology 2013 Team 3 Future trends and challenges What are the upcoming developments in FLNG?
