Development of “mid-scale” LNG projects of up to 1.5 million tonne per

annum (Mtpa) production capacity per LNG train, based on:

� Gas Access: gas fields seeking international gas pricing,

insufficient local energy demand, too small, far from energy

markets and/or reserves insufficient to support traditional large-

scale LNG plant (require multiple trillion cubic feet of gas)

� Project Location: target sites that are close to low cost gas source,

existing infrastructure, availability of suitable sites with access to

deep, protected water,

� LNG Markets: targeting existing LNG markets in close vicinity to

Project location

LNG Business Model

LNG Limited offers a complete “LNG package/solution”structured for the benefit of all stakeholders

� Smaller land access requirement, increases ability to strategically

locate LNG plants closer to existing infrastructure and sheltered

deepwater access (lower associated infrastructure costs)

� Proven uncomplicated & highly efficient single mixed refrigerant

process with lower equipment count, easier installation, operation &

maintenance (including faster shut down and start up) and faster

construction

� Use of membrane tank technology delivering a lower construction

cost and faster construction schedule

� Smaller project size and uncomplicated contracting (potential only 1

LNG buyer) reduces period to complete detailed (bankable) feasibility

study and achieve financial close

� All of the above advantages leads to a faster project delivery

schedule, thus lower overheads and financing costs

Project Background

� 2001: LNG Ltd commenced planning of mid scale LNG projects

� 2004: LNG Ltd first considered coal seam gas (CSG) for LNG export

� 2006: Maturity of CSG production in Queensland

� 2007: LNG Ltd signs HOA with Arrow for gas supply

Project site identified with Gladstone Port Corporation

EOI provided by Golar LNG and others for LNG offtake

� 2008: LNG Ltd commences voluntary EIS approvals process

Signs with LOR / SKEC as preferred EPC Contractor

Signs site Licence Agreement with GPC

� 2009: LNG Ltd signs HOA with Golar LNG for LNG offtakeFor

� Parties: Arrow Energy and Gladstone LNG Ltd

� Maximum Daily Quantity: 257 TJ / day after initial 24 month

ramp-up period

� Annual Contract Quantity (ACQ) – (45PJ yr 1, 75PJ yr 2 and

The Coal Seam Gas Challenge

� Little or No Proven Gas Reserves at Financial Close (all 2P / 3P)

� The low heating value of Coal Seam Gas

� Potential multi-user gas pipeline, requires careful plant design

� Variable gas composition over production term

� Ramp up of coal seam gas requires 12 to 24 months to reach

required contractual volumes

� LNG Plant shutdown may cause major issues upstream

� Relative new industry in Australian with limited experience

� LNG is a very conservative industry

CSG – Reserves / Deliverability

� Largely mitigated by implementing a mid-scale LNG project

� Quantity of CSG required is realistic and achievable

� Accommodation of ramp up, as opposed to large scale LNG projects

� Mid scale trains easily duplicated as reserves and deliverability increase

CSG - Quality and Pressure

� Extensive gas quality testing program requested from Arrow to minimise

risk of “off-spec gas” being delivered

� LNG plant capable of tolerating gas quality beyond current CSG spec

� Gladstone LNG / Arrow have agreed minimum delivery pressure

Gas Delivery to Gladstone Project Site

� Pipeline Licence already granted to Arrow / AGL (from Bowen Basin)

� PL variation underway for 5km lateral from Gladstone Gas Gate to Site

� Only LNG Project that has pipeline approval to Gladstone (from Bowen)

� Pipeline Licence under development from Surat Basin

Advantages of Fisherman’s Landing

� Natural deepwater harbour

� Protected, no need for breakwater infrastructure

� Under-utilised existing Wharf #5 available for LNG export

� Existing infrastructure (roads, water, etc)

� Existing dredging approvals for Targinie Channel

� Future potential for additional Land (expansion project)

� Only LNG project in Gladstone that can potentially commence

construction next year, and be operational in 2012

� Avoidance of “Curtis Island” type issues

Membrane LNG Storage Tank

� 1 x 180,000m3 Membrane storage tank (net storage)

� Lower capital cost than conventional LNG tank technology

� Shorter construction schedule than conventional LNG tank technology

� Comparative risk assessment report completed, stating that when

comparing the membrane tank concept to the full containment tank

concept “these two tank types are considered to provide some of the

highest integrity options for above ground refrigerated liquefied gas

storage”

� Quantitative Risk Assessment near completion

� Historically, membrane tank acceptance hindered by lack of accepted

standards. Post 2006, European Standard EN 14620 developed, LNG Ltd

believes future LNG projects will consider membrane technology as a

serious alternative

� Best solution - All aspects of the plant including gas pre-treatment, liquefaction, storage, utilities, construction techniques etc optimised and integrated. Numerous industry experts engaged to accomplish the best techno-economic solution

� Liquefaction system - single mixed refrigerant composition, flowrate and pressures optimised to match cooling curve and best fit standard available equipment. Proven SMR process used with numerous reference sites

� Efficient / Simple Process -Modern high efficiency gas turbines (MR compressors) and CHP plant utilised for utility power. Less equipment items required per train compared to alternative processes, resulting in low capital and low operating / maintenance costs

� High train availability – parallel compressors (MR and ammonia) used compared to compressors in series for alternative processes

� Government – no government assistance being sort, provides early start up benefits, sets the scene for the larger LNG projects in Gladstone

� LNG storage tank – uses membrane tank technology and concrete slip form construction technique to minimise construction time (critical path) and reduce costs

� Project Viability – at the floor price level
