Staged LNG start-up now 4-->8-->12 8Mtpa as proposed. Old EWC/Flex plan was 3-->5-->8Mtpa.
CSP was 4 trains of 450Mscf at cost of $550 M. New proposed CSP cost of $930 M, assumption that CSP now sized to 8 trains of 450Mscfd.
XOM's sub sea dry gas pipeline is 34" diameter to feed 6.6 Mtpa PNG/LNG with expansion plans.
IOC's dry gas pipeline from CSP to LNG plants is 36" diameter. That's 12% bigger.
Perhaps Pet will chime in as only he can with what LNG production can result from a 36" dia. pipe.
Remember, bigger is better, unless it's your wife's azzzzzzz.
