"The Singapore

The Singapore liquefied natural gas import terminal is the country's first LNGregasification facility. Located in Jurong Island, the facility will be used forimporting LNG, reloading and regasification and storage. It will be a hub forphysical LNG trading and regional redistribution. The S$1.7bn project is beingdeveloped by Singapore LNG.

The project is the first open-access multi-user terminal in Asia. It is capable ofimporting LNG and re-exporting it to various suppliers. The terminal will have acapacity of six million tons per annum (mtpa).

The project is being constructed on a 30ha site in the south-western part ofJurong Island. Construction on the project began in March 2010 and will becompleted by 2013. As of August 2011, the project was 50% complete.

The unused storage capacity in the terminal during the initial years will be used forphysical LNG trading. As part of storage and reloading service, the traders will beable to store and reload LNG for exports. The storage capacity will reduce withthe increase in domestic LNG demand. With a favourable response from tradersfor LNG storage, additional storage tanks will be built.

The contract to build and operate the terminal was

assigned to PowerGas in September 2007. In June2009, Singapore's energy statutory board Energy MarketAuthority (EMA) took over the responsibility of thedevelopment and ownership of the LNG terminal fromPowerGas as it was found that the development of theproject on commercial lines was not viable.

A new company, named Singapore LNG (SLNG), wasformed by the EMA to oversee the development

activities of the terminal.

Singapore LNG terminal background

Singapore depends on natural gas for almost 80% of its electricity needs. Thecountry imports natural gas from Indonesia and Malaysia. With forecastspredicting that the demand for gas will exceed that of supply, the country islooking at LNG as an alternative.

In 2005, the EMA appointed Tokyo Gas Engineering to conduct a feasibility studyon various ways to import LNG and possible models of an LNG terminal.

LNG terminal construction

The terminal was originally planned with two storagetanks of 188,000m3 each. Both have a send-outcapacity of 3.5mtpa.

In November 2010, SLNG announced the addition of athird 188,000m3 storage tank to the terminal. The thirdtank will provide Singapore with better flexibility to meetfuture gas requirements. It will be commissioned byearly 2014.

In addition, a primary jetty with a cargo capacity of 120,000-265,000m3 is alsobeing constructed. It will be capable of accepting the newest and largest Q-maxvessels and an LNG carrier.

In August 2011, SLNG launched the Secondary Berth Project for the terminal.

"The terminal will

The project includes construction of a secondary jetty with a cargo capacity of60,000-265,000m3 and a tertiary jetty with cargo capacity of 10,000-40,000m3.

The two jetties will be constructed on 10ha of land adjacent to the terminal. Thesecondary jetty includes space for expansion to construct loading arms andassociated piping for unloading of LNG. The Secondary Berth Project is expectedto be completed by 2013.

PowerGas, along with its partner GDF Suez, did the front-end engineering designfor the terminal. The development work was taken up by the government.

LNG terminal EPC contract

The engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contract for the LNGproject was awarded to Samsung C&T in February 2010. The contract was valuedat KRW731bn (S$798m). Samsung C&T was also awarded the contract for thethird storage tank and the Secondary Berth Project in January 2011 and August2011, respectively.

Samsung awarded Flour an engineering and related management servicescontract.

The contract to provide project management consultancy services in support ofthe development of the terminal was given to Foster Wheeler Asia Pacific.

Singapore LNG supply contract

In 2008, BG Singapore Gas Marketing was selected as LNG aggregator forSingapore. As aggregator, BG will aggregate demand for regasified LNG from allend-users in Singapore and aims at 3mtpa LNG supply starting from 2013.
