Ques-ti-o-nie #2: Okay…this is a lame one. Is it safe to assume that the concept selected MUST ALWAYS include the size of each train? Or might could maybe that be put off until FEED (which is scheduled for immediately following concept selection.)
Is that in your bailywick, Stavros? Others?
I had to look up "bailiwick" first to see if I am legally allowed to respond.
From what IOC has said repeatedly, the Concept Selection will not yet include the "Basis of Design" which they say will be the next step.
That means they still haven't confirmed the compositions and amounts of the Gas or the Condensate coming from the wells.
They said there is evidence that enough gas is in place to underpin a multi-train LNG Complex. Conventional wisdom is that roughly 6 tcf of recoverable gas is required to enable operation/sales for the required 20 years of the project.
So it seems to me that the Concept Selection report may say the following:
1. We will build an LNG Complex comprised of 2 parallel trains with a capacity of at least X million tons per annum. We will not decide on the final size until the Basis of Design is set
2. The LNG Complex will be located at AA on the attached map
3. The upstream Gas Conditioning Unit will be located at BB on the attached map
4. Pipelines will be laid out as indicated on the attached map
5. We selected the LNG liquefaction process licensed by Mr. CC (perhaps Air Liquide?)
6. The LNG Complex will include two Tanks, each holding DD cubic meters of LNG
7. The LNG Complex will include a Jetty that is EE kilometers long with ability to handle ships with FF m3 capacity
Of particular note is the fact that TOTAL has been developing a Floating LNG concept for quite some time. It is not out of the realm of possibility that they could opt for a version of "FLNG" located at the Gulf location. This might be enough to appease the Gulf Province folks who have repeatedly stated that the entire E/A project must be located within their borders.
