The frst application oI the Optimi:ea Cascaae

Process was installed in ConocoPhillips` liqueIaction Iacility which is located on


the Kenai Peninsula in Alaska. Because the Iacility was located nearly 150 miles Irom the nearest major city oI Anchorage, Alaska,
it was important that the Iacility be dependable, easy to operate, and provide long, uninterrupted service. Over the past Iour decades,
the process has been proven as a reliable, fexible and cost eIfcient technology and continues in operation today at LNG Iacilities
around the world. Since ConocoPhillips began licensing the technology in the early 1990s, a total oI nine Optimized Cascade units
have been licensed. Eight oI those are in operation and the ninth, Angola LNG, is currently in the engineering, procurement and
construction (EPC) phase oI the project.

December 2005 3.7 MTPA
Darwin LNG is a single train Iacility with a unit capacity oI 3.7 MTPA. To address
environmental priorities oI project owners and the host country, the Darwin Iacility
was designed with several frsts including being the frst application oI highly eIfcient
aero-derivative gas turbines in LNG service. Additionally, DLNG was the frst Optimized
Cascade Process Iacility to incorporate waste heat integration to improve process eIfciency
and inlet air humidifcation to enhance production during periods oI low humidity.

Detailea Engineering Design 5.2 MTPA
Angola LNG is a single train unit with a capacity oI 5.2 MTPA. The Angola design
utilizes GE Frame 6 and Frame 7 compressor drivers in a unique way that delivers cost
improvements while still maintaining the operating advantages oI the two-trains-in-one
reliability. It also utilizes an integrated solution Ior NGL and LPG recovery in a
liqueIaction Iacility reducing even Iurther the capital cost.
Buckground
In the 1960`s ConocoPhillips Company and Marathon Oil
contracted with Bechtel Corporation to construct the frst natural
gas liqueIaction plant based on a new and innovative process
designed by ConocoPhillips, the Optimi:ea Cascaae

LNG
process. The result was the Kenai, Alaska LNG Iacility, which
began operation in 1969, and continues operation today.
The initial intent was Ior ConocoPhillips to use the technology
exclusively on projects in which it held an equity interest. However,
in the mid 1990s Atlantic LNG approached Bechtel with the need
to build a low cost, yet reliable single train LNG Iacility. AIter
completing the competitive FEED, Bechtel won the EPC contract,
resulting in the frst licensed application oI the Optimized
Cascade process and the frst opportunity Ior ConocoPhillips to
work once again with Bechtel in natural gas liqueIaction.
As a result oI this achievement, ConocoPhillips and Bechtel
Iormed a Global LNG Collaboration in 1996 to capitalize on
ConocoPhillips` LNG technology expertise and Bechtel`s world
class design and project execution know-how oI grassroots LNG
Iacilities. The success oI the Collaboration has resulted in eight
subsequent plants being built with a ninth unit in the EPC phase -
all utilizing the Optimized Cascade process.
Product evelopment Center
Soon aIter Iorming the Collaboration, the companies established
the LNG Product Development Center (PDC) to Iocus cooperative
intellectual eIIort on continuous improvement oI the Optimized
Cascade process, plant operations, improve project execution
costs and schedule, and to jointly market the process.
The PDC is staIIed by a Iull-time program director and personnel
drawn Irom both ConocoPhillips and Bechtel. Oversight oI the
PDC is Iacilitated by an Advisory Committee comprised oI
ConocoPhillips and Bechtel senior management. The Advisory
Committee provides guidance in the selection oI the various
programs and studies undertaken by the PDC.
The PDC works on improvement studies not only Ior LNG
process technology, but on applications to enhance the total plant
Iacility, including overall design, construction and operations.
This unique, end-to-end approach or Total LiIe Cycle Focus,
enables the Conoco Phillips-Bechtel Collaboration to look
beyond the liqueIaction technology itselI and into areas having
the greatest potential to impact project costs.
Summaries oI the relevant study results are then shared with
clients to assist in their decisions surrounding their particular
process design. This allows owners to make key decisions about
plant design early in the project liIe to minimize the number,
time and cost oI perIorming Pre-FEED or FEED studies. It not
only reduces the overall project duration and total unit cost, but
also maximizes the value to the owner.

The Invironment: A Growing Considerution
Employed in LNG Iacilities around the world Ior over Iour decades,
the ConocoPhillips Optimized Cascade Process continues to
set new standards in the design and operation oI eIfcient and
cost-eIIective LNG Iacilities. Historically, the primary Iocus Ior
planning and designing oI LNG Iacilities was liIe-cycle cost and
proftability. However, today there is a growing recognition oI
another key consideration Ior a major liqueIaction Iacility its
impact on the environment.
Increasingly, new Iacility planning and design are being impacted
by global environmental concerns. Operating companies also
want to be responsible stewards oI their environment. They are
seeking process solutions to maximize plant eIfciency and
Iacility economics, while at the same time minimizing pollutants
and their impact on the environment.
The Optimized Cuscude Process & Its Iuvoruble
Invironmentul Impuct
The ConocoPhillips Optimized Cascade Process has strong
environmental advantages in its design and operation. The
'Two-Trains-In-One design concept has several inherent
Ieatures that deliver higher eIfciency, resulting in lower
emissions through the use oI:
Advanced aeroderivative gas turbines
Integrated waste heat recovery
Gas and fashing liquid expanders
Inlet air cooling oI gas turbines
Integrated NGL Iractionation
Minimized plot space requirements through equipment
modularization
Reduced faring during startup, shutdown and operations
The ConocoPhillips process design is continuously being
improved with the goal oI increasing thermal eIfciency, reducing
emissions, and reducing liIe-cycle cost.

ConocoPhillips Lse oI Aeroderivutives
Thermal eIfciency is a key driver oI any LNG Iacility and
even minor design changes can have a signifcant infuence on
eIfciency and emissions. ConocoPhillips has demonstrated
advances in thermal eIfciency through the use oI highly
eIfcient aeroderivative gas turbines in its process confgurations.
For this reason, the Optimized Cascade Process is the preIerred
technology choice oI many LNG projects worldwide. Several
advantages include:
LNG Plant Capacity Options: By utilizing multiple
aeroderivative gas turbines within the liqueIaction process,
the Iacility size can be tailored to meet the available gas
supply or production requirements.
Gas Supply Constraints: In situations where gas supplies
are constrained, either by availability or economically
due to high gas supply cost, the use oI higher eIfciency
aeroderivative turbines results in more LNG Ior a given
quantity oI Ieed gas.
Operational Flexibility:The variable speed (multiple-
shaIt) aeroderivative gas turbine maximizes operational
fexibility and allows Iast start-up under Iull compressor
settle out conditions without large starter motors.
Environmental Considerations: With higher eIfciency
and less Iuel consumed, greenhouse gas is reduced,
resulting in a smaller carbon Iootprint.
riving Protubility und Protecting the Invironment
ConocoPhillips is committed to protecting the environment. In all the company`s operations, the highest environmental standards are
met to ensure that the company`s eIIorts today, not only provide energy, but also insure a stable environment Ior tomorrow.
The ConocoPhillips Optimized Cascade Process provides a Iully integrated liqueIaction design with high thermal eIfciency,
operational fexibility and lower emissions.
