Twinza Oil Introduction
The Twinza Story
Pasca A field
C-1 C-2
Discovered in 1968 and has
lain fallow for almost 50 years
Rich gas-condensate field in a
high relief reefal carbonate of
Miocene age A-2
1 A-3 Pasca C
High resolution 3D seismic
has significantly improved the
definition of the resource
Advances in offshore
engineering and gas
processing have significantly Pasca B
reduced development costs
Pasca A field is capable of
very high flowrates enhancing
the economics
PNG’s first offshore
development and
infrastructure
Well located to supply to
Pasca A
regional markets
New 3D seismic data processing offers superior imaging of the Pasca A reef.
Both interior and external geometries are seen in higher resolution.
Note the terraces visible on the outer surface of the reef.

Propane Butane
• Pasca A LPG production business case sufficient to cover current PNG LPG retail market
• LPG offtake with be via refrigerated and pressure vessels
Approximate 1000 cbm combined daily production
• Two separate FSOs planned, each for storage of C3 and C4 6
Ambient pressurized LPG will be supplied to the FSO from production platform
Base plan for FSOs to be semi-refrigerated vessels

Energy use: Petroleum & Biomass dominate, LPG only 2%
According to the World LPG Association LPG has more than 1,000 applications
Home applications Transport applications Recreational applications Agricultural applications Business and industrial applications

Pasca A Location – A Comparative Advantage (1)
LPG Supply from PNG (Pasca A field) Reduces Delivery time to Regional Markets
Voyage Duration
Saudi – Brisbane 24 days @ 13 knots
Saudi – Sydney 24 days @ 13 knots
4 days voyage
BNE – POM 5 days @ 11 knots
Regionally supplied LPG from PNG reduces delivery time to regional markets by at least 30 days
Savings in related transport and port costs
Twinza Oil 11
Pasca A Location – A Comparative Advantage (2)
Pasca LPG supply is delivered in less time to PNG & Regional Markets.
• Controlling for ship size, LPG quantity and number of voyages per year,
Pasca A LPG shipment takes 117 days round trip to deliver 16k MT LPG to PNG market
Similar vessel delivering the same cargo from Brisbane takes 221 days (~180% more days than from Pasca A)
• Saudi Arabia (Ju Aymah LPG Terminal) voyage to Brisbane takes ~ 29 days

LPG Offtake: Demand Profile & Parcel Size
• Understanding specific parcel size crucial for LPG offtake to
regional markets
Few LPG traders currently dominates regional LPG circulation
Understanding anchor off-taker’s and their onshore storage
2016 requirements is crucial for effective distribution
• Off-take requirements / parcel sizes, and distribution model
will determine sizing of storage facilities
Phase 1 Drilling
ISO containers
Small pressure vessels for milk runs through the Pacific Islands
• Regional LPG distribution is generally straightforward
Existing LPG terminals in most islands
Only minor site works necessary for ISO containers
• Bulk LPG movement for power generation will require new
terminals and storage hubs

LPG A Proven Fuel Source For Electricity Generation
LPG a Potential substitute for diesel fired electricity generation
• Experience in Latin America and Caribbean proved conversion of base load power production from diesel
and fuel oil to LPG lowers energy costs while promoting lower carbon emissions
• ~120 metric ton LPG required to generate 1 MWe per month @ shaft
• LPG is a good precursor for future gas use in CNG & LNG

Avoided cost due to the proximity to the market. Ras Tanura to Sydney or Brisbane is around 24 to 30 ship voyage days, which is avoided if gas
2 sourced from PNG.
3 Initially, this may be avoided if demand is sufficient for direct transport from upstream FSO to market. Long-term will be via terminals in Port Moresby
and Lae.
4 Reducing landed costs of LPG and encouraging increased usage of LPG via diesel substitution will spur increased storage allowing for the retail
segment to benefit from improved economies.

Way Forward
PNG LPG supply to region requires cooperation between producer & off-takers
• Explore economies of scale in bulk LPG movements to increase domestic
household use
• Engage regional governments on use of LPG in the energy mix of PICTs
• Develop strategic partnerships
Potential anchor customers for LPG in retail, manufacturing & power sectors
Regional fuel transporters & infrastructure related constraints
Govt. regulator and development partners to increase LPG in regional energy mix
• Work closely with agencies such as SPC & PRIF to address regional energy
aspirations:
Liaise on ways to achieve SPC goal of reduced HFO reliance in fuel use
Determine enablers for more LPG in energy mix and less reliance on diesel
• Encourage gas to electricity projects in PICTs countries, starting with LPG
A pilot trial in the region is needed to appreciate the opportunities and constraints for
the South Pacific region

Conclusion
Sourcing LPG from PNG advantageous for South Pacific LPG markets
• Current LPG supplies to Pacific regional markets have significant transport costs &
little competition
PNG LPG supply potentially reduce transport-related costs for PICTs,
• LPG distribution to Pacific region requires support from multiple stakeholders
Producer, transporter, regional governments, bulk off-takers
• Success of bulk LPG movements will avail cost effective LPG to consumers in the
retail space (economies of scale)
• Gas to electricity for the PICTs, starting with LPG is a proven concept in
archipelagic and distributed markets such as the Caribbean and Indonesia
• PNG LPG supply addresses PNG and regional energy aspirations:
SPC pushing for reduction of heavy fuel oils use within Pacific Island countries
Contributing to reduced emissions targets
