LNG Plant Technology and Design
Technology proven and reliable
Air Products and Chemicals Incorporated (APCI) liquefaction technology selected
BASF was selected for Acid Gas Removal technology
Aker Process Systems was selected to provide MEG system for hydrate inhibition
Design and constructability
Designed for long term reliability, availability, operability and safety
Modularization approach was taken to minimise on-island work, reduce construction footprint and to
move work to a world class fabrication facility
Train Capacity
Engineering models using data from actual purchased equipment and string testing of selected major
elements has confirmed throughput of 5.2 MTPA per train

Proven Downstream Construction Contractors
Overall scope too large for any single contractor
strategy to divide into manageable scope
Extensive contractor pre-qualification exercise:
- Financial capability
- Demonstrated track record in safe and predictable performance
- Local content
Develop work scopes to:
- Reduce contractor interfaces
- Target top performing contractors
- Allow consortium and joint ventures
Leverage Chevron International Master Agreements
