BP’s Big Green Train:Benchmarking Next Generation LNG Plant Designs
project objectives Develop Next Generation LNG Plant Options that are Big, Green and Low Cost, and … • Produce 5+ MTPA of LNG • Reduce the EPC cost per annual tonne of LNG produced by 25% (as compared to ALNG Train #1) • Reduce CO2 emissions per ton of LNG produced by 50% (as compared to ALNG Train #1)
10 LNG Plant Capacity (mtpa) 5 0 All Electric Ultimate Aero Green Frame 7 big green plant designs • capacity is essentially set by drivers and configurations • project sponsor philosophy is key to design • variety of configurations can achieve big, green train • designs are not LNG process technology dependent

benchmarking approach • Select a LNG plant design • Ensure level design playing field • Develop a detailed basis of design • Obtain support from the LNG technology Licensors • Assure a fair and unbiased comparison of technologies
lng process technologies evaluated • Air Products and Chemical, Inc. • AP-XTM Process • Axen/IFP • LIQUEFINTM • Black & Veatch Pritchard, Inc. • PRICO® • Linde AG • MFC®
conclusions • Big, Green LNG plants can provide low cost LNG • Plant capacities above 8 mtpa are economically feasible • BGT plant designs are LNG process independent • Benchmarking success requires strong cooperation between the owner, contractor and process licensors
