8. 8 / 28. juni 2010
Key industry trends and their implications for NOCs
• More smaller off takers looking for Natural Gas
• The smaller off takers also want to diversify the supply sources
• Flaring of associated gas no more allowed
• Need to handle the gas to sustain oil production
• Changing the view on associated gas from “a cost” to “a revenue”
• Extensive technical development on Floating LNG the last 10 years
• Smaller sized projects 1-3 MMTPA open up for Independent Service Providers
• NOCs can work with the Independent Services Providers in a similar manner as for Oil
FPSOs
Production Transportation Regasification Market Access

Risk and rewards for LNG FPSO Projects
• Risks
• A novel concept based on experience from Oil FPSOs and LNG industry
• Rewards
• LNG production of stranded reserves means revenue
• Economics in smaller gas reserves
• Larger fields can be developed with a 2 MTPA LNG FPSO to achieve early revenue
and continue with baseload onshore development
• Project construction at specialized construction site (Shipyard) to reduce risk
