SeaOne Competitive Advantages
TM

 Modular, scalable systems can be used to capture, store, ship, and monetize onshore and offshore gas that
would otherwise be flared or vented
 Facilities can be grid powered, and therefore can be 100% renewable powered
1  CGL
TM
generates 0.099 tonnes of CO2e per tonne of product, ~73% less than LNG
 Propane-fueled carriers provide an attractive well-to-wake carbon emissions profile, yielding a 17% CO2e
savings as compared to marine gasoil
Lower
Emissions

More Gas  Non-cryogenic solvation process at -40 degrees Fahrenheit


Sold
2  No boil-off during transport or storage
 Results in 30% more gas delivered to market across the entire value chain

 Small land use of 8 acres for every 400 mmscfd of production and storage (equivalent to 3 mtpa of LNG)
 CGL has a much faster approval process (estimated 2-3-year advantage) and requires fewer regulatory and
Capital export approvals than LNG, resulting in overall lower development costs in the U.S.
Efficient
3  Integrated levelized development cost of ~$4.00-5.75 / mcfe(1) for the entire system, including shipping
 Delivering gas and liquids together eliminates redundant capital costs associated with a second carrier

TRL 6 and Validation of 5 Critical Technical Elements

The CGL technology concept has progressed from an idea through rigorous laboratory and analytical
TM

work

 Every developmental stage has been vetted by credible third parties from industry and academia

 Five critical technical elements (CTEs) of the technology were identified early, and these formed the roadmap to maturing the technology

– A demonstrated capabilities test (Pilot) confirmed the solvation and displacement fluid CTEs, laying the groundwork for the development of the solvent optimizer
program CTE and maturation of the static mixer design

– The CGL storage CTE went through a rigorous test program as mandated by the American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) culminating in the ABS approval of the CGL
storage system

 An extensive industry search for suitable CGL loading arm suppliers, who could tackle a combination of cold temperature and moderately high pressure, led to a
resolution of the CGL loading arms CTE

 As appropriate, numerous HAZOPs and risk analyses were conducted ensuring risks were identified and mitigated

 All the lessons learned were successfully incorporated into various design feasibility and FEED studies

 The FEED studies have produced credible technical scope, schedule, and cost basis for further project execution

 All the technology development efforts (in terms of deliverables) have been analyzed using NASA’s TRL calculator to produce a TRL 6 result

 Subsequently, there are no technical hurdles left to hinder this technology from being deployed in a commercial project
