  1. 23rd World Gas Conference5 – 9 June 2006Amsterdam Full Scale Qualification Trials and Certification of the AMPLITUDE-LNG LOADING SYSTEM Phillip COX – Business Development Manager Offshore LNG Department: Technip France Guillaume ROMBAULT – Research & Development Division: Gaz de France

  2. AMPLITUDE-LNG LOADING SYSTEM (A.L.L.S.) For all offshore and nearshore dynamic transfer configurations A.L.L.S. is an LNG transfer system incorporating a Cryogenic single length flexible, an integrated QCDC and ERS, all instrumentation & control equipment including Position Monitoring System, together with a full Qualification and Certification package

  3. OPERABILITY REPEATABILITY Demonstrate that flexible loading systems for LNG are mature for use in marine and dynamic environments

  4. 2001 Cryogenic Flexible 2002- 03 QC-DC / ERS Connector Amplitude-LNG Montoir Operational Pilot Unit 2004 / 2006 FEED and Qualification Trials A multi- phase development programme to meet the requirements of the Offshore LNG industry

Technology Qualification Report Technology Qualification Plan Technology Assessment Report Statement of Fitness for Service Statement of Endorsement Statement of Feasibility List of the main results expected from Montoir: 5. Certification of complete system Qualification Work Process Define Qualification Basis I Technology Assessment Failure Mode Identification and Risk Ranking Concept Improvement Selection of Qualification Methods PoS Evaluation Q3 2004 II Analysis and Testing Reliability Analysis Q4 2006 DNV Statements: Phase 1 and 2

  27. List of the main results expected from Montoir: 5. Certification of complete system ThisSYSTEM OPERABILITYqualification conforms to new European standards presently being written. • EN 1474 is being updated to include 2 new sections: • Design and testing of Cryogenic hoses • Offshore Transfer Systems…………. in which the Certifying Authorities have included that – “Where novel transfer solutions (new technology or novel application of known technology) are intended to be used, this technology is to undergo a recognized qualification procedure”

  28. CONCLUSIONS: 1of 2 Complete full scale trials including instrumentation & control systems 80% of the results are from the studies and documentation 20% of the results will come from the on-site testing Open book co-operation with Certifying Authorities (B.V. and D.N.V.) and JIP members Oil & Gas + Operators participation and familiarisation through Joint Industry Programmes

  29. CONCLUSIONS: 1of 2 Amplitude-LNG Loading System is both technically & commercially mature and will be complete with certification by Q4 this year Easy and repeatable Side-by-side (ship to ship) operations Opens up new Marine facilities architectures for both ends of the LNG chain Marine facilities can now include cryogenic flexibles and Pipe-in-Pipe systems
