Investment Risks in LNG Projects
“The liquefied natural gas industry says that up to $150 billion in projects could be lost
to Australia unless the industrial relations system is overhauled and construction costs
are slashed within 18 months”
“Shane Wright Economics Editor, The West Australian Updated May 27, 2013, 2:50”
“For the coming decade, Alberta could experience a
labour shortage of approximately 114,000 workers.”
Ref: Employment Alberta 2010; Demand and supply outlook
“Canada is facing a shortage of construction workers over the next decade—the
industry will need to recruit in the order of 320,000 workers from 2011 to 2019”

FLUOR INTRODUCTION
QUESTIONS
11

Need to Provide More Innovative
Solutions
12
To address client drivers of reduced capital cost for Oil, Gas and LNG
developments
To improve predictability of project execution, cost and schedule
results for Oil, Gas and LNG developments
Current project development and execution approaches are
“traditional” with still a significant level of site construction required.
This adds cost to projects and puts more risk on predictability of results

The Current Status of Modular
Design and Execution
• 1st Generation
Modular Execution
– Piperacks or PARs

The Current Status of Modular
Design and Execution
• 2nd Generation Modular
Construction Execution
– 1st Generation plus:
– Equipment or PAUs (Preassembled Units)
• Equipment on module
• Modules around equipment
– Pre-Dressed Vessels
– 40% of Equivalent Stick Built
Hours Relocated to Shop for
Steel / Pipe / E&I Work

Hours
Moved
Offsite
STRUCTURAL STEEL 65%
EQUIPMENT 21%
PIPING 53%
ELECTRICAL 25%
INSTRUMENTATION 15%
INSULATION 50%
14

Where Do We Need to Go?
• Modular Designs Which Maximize Movement of Hours Offsite
• “Modularization Drives Layout” not “Layout Drives
Modularization”
• “Standardized” not “Customized” Designs
• Maximum Collaboration Between Owner, Engineer,
Procurement, Construction, Project Management and
Fabricator
• Fluor developed Modularization Improvement Initiative
15

• Fluor has developed a 3rd Gen Modular ExecutionSM Methodology
– Past modular projects evaluated
– Offshore design methods evaluated
– Facility interconnections evaluated
– Power and control distribution evaluated
– All available technologies evaluated
• Patent Pending to protect intellectual property
Module Design Evolution - 3rd Generation

Work Process Introduction
Process Block Concept
• The work process starts with process engineering, who conceptually divides the
project into various process blocks (systems within a distinct geographical
boundary).
• The process blocks will vary by plant type. We have developed standard blocks
for typical in situ projects, for example: oil treating, water treatment, steam
generation, etc

Impact of 3rd Generation
Execution Methods
• Cost Competitive Solution Providing a Competitive Advantage
– Lowers Over TIC of Project by Optimizing Plot and Reducing Quantities (up to 20% TIC
Reduction)
– Lowers Over TIC of Project by Moving Work Offsite to a More Productive and Cost Competitive
Location
– Lowers Over TIC of Project by Reducing Field Indirect Costs
• Provides Execution Methods which Provide for Cost and Schedule Certainty
– Places Emphasis on Early E&I Design Mitigating E&I Rollout at Site
– Forces Engineering to Work as a Team for More Cost effective Design
– Can Provide Schedule Reduction opportunity Particularly for Revamps
• Can Provide Environmental Advantage by Reducing Facility Footprint
• Reduces Safety Risks by Reducing Site Labour
– Value Added Design Method for Brownfields/Revamp Work
• Can be Repeated and is Portable
25

Modular Execution
Risk Management
• Key Risks with a highly modular execution
– Modularization strategy and plan developed too late.
– Modules incomplete at shipment.
– Late engineering deliverables or late revisions.
– Steel and piping deliveries too late.
– Instrument, electrical and EHT materials late.
– Modules delivered late and/or in wrong sequence.
– Shop workload exceeds capacity.
• Mitigation Strategies In Place to overcome these:
– Application of Fluor Global experience in implementation of modular
execution projects has been critical to development of such strategies

Integrated EPFC Solution Required

3RD GENERATION MODULARIZATION ALLOWS STANDARDIZATION
• Lay Out Organized following Process Units
• Modules are “Plug and Play” and Associated to Process Units
• A Standard LNG facility can be created for a Range of LNG FEED conditions
adding or deleting “Process Units” and therefore modules
• An Envelope of Civil and Seismic Conditions needs to be assumed if the
design will go into several locations.
• 3rd Generation allows customization to Specific Site conditions adding or
removing Standard Modules
Standard Designs (Standardization)

ADVANTAGES
• Lowers cost of equipment and bulks
• Reduces Procurement cycle time
• Reduces overall EPFC schedule
• Provides Consistent Results
• Reduces Operator Training Time and Costs
• Reduces Maintenance Costs

RISKS
• Culture to Customize and Optimize
• Process FEED Change Beyond Standard Range
• Technology Improvements

Be Prepared for Change!
Be Prepared to Collaborate!
Executing Using the Same (Traditional)
Methods Will Produce the Same Results!
