Introduction Freeport LNG Regasification Terminal Brazoria County, Texas, USA 2.0 Bcf/day send-out capacity Proposed liquefaction terminal Will be 2 nd LNG export terminal in “lower 48” states Export capabilities up to 1.9 Bcf/day Approximately 1% of U.S. trade deficit A World of Solutions TM 2
History Freeport LNG Regasification Terminal development initiated in the early 2000’s US gas supplies were dwindling Large quantities of LNG imports expected by the late 2000’s Freeport engaged a joint venture of Technip, Zachry, and Saipem Construction began in 2005 and was completed in 2008 Commissioning cargo was received and the performance test was performed Since then, Freeport’s customers have only used the facility for storage and re-export A World of Solutions TM 3
Market Conditions Natural Gas Production by Source (trillion cubic feet) Surplus of U.S. natural gas reserves because of Shale accessibility The US now has more than 100 years of natural gas supply. Lower gas prices long term make exporting natural gas economically attractive. Significant difference between lower US gas prices and higher international crude oil-linked gas prices expected to remain long into the future. U.S. Natural Gas Pipeline Network, LNG buyers interested in diversifying 2009 supply and linking price to Henry Hub. Freeport LNG proximity to: Eagle Ford, Barnett, Haynesville-Bossier deposits Houston ship channel and Katy trading Hubs A World of Solutions TM Source: EIA, Office of Oil & Gas, Natural Gas Division, Gas Transportation Information System 4
Health Safety & Environment Freeport LNG is committed to HSE as a Core Value Zero injuries since start up of the facility in 2008 Ongoing training to identify and mitigate hazards CB&I and Zachry are also committed to HSE as a Core Value People and the Environment are our most valuable asset! A World of Solutions TM 5
Environmental Challenges Concern Mitigation Erosion from ship traffic Recycle usable vegetation and replant along waterway to decrease erosion Destruction of plants in construction path Work only during limited time frames to Increased construction traffic minimize impact. Bussing employees to the island Waterway contamination from equipment Diligent equipment maintenance and spill spills prevention procedures Detailed Sound studies to reduce impact of Plant Noise louder equipment A World of Solutions TM 6
Existing Terminal Two full containment 160,000 m 3 (1 million barrels) LNG storage tanks Seven vaporizer trains capable of delivering 2.0+ Bcf/d of gas to intrastate pipeline connections Unique ambient air heating system to substitute fired heaters during warm weather periods State-of-the-art marine dock facility to accommodate largest LNG tankers built Nine miles of 42-inch pipeline to transport gas to pipeline connections at Stratton Ridge Underground gas storage cavern at Stratton Ridge (4.5 Bcf of working gas) A World of Solutions TM 7
Expansion to Liquefaction Freeport LNG is well suited to develop a liquefaction project. A financially strong company with proven, experienced operating and management organizations. Utilization of FLNG’s existing infrastructure represents an advantage of lower capital and operating costs compared to a grass roots facility. The FLNG terminal will be able to react to domestic and global gas market fluctuations to import/vaporize or liquefy/export. A World of Solutions TM 8

Liquefaction APCI C3MR Liquefaction Process TREATED GAS MAIN CRYOGENIC HEAT EXCHANGER Three propane 4.4 mtpa 13.2 mtpa in 1.9 Bcf/d of pre-cooled mixed per Train aggregate natural gas. refrigerant trains A World of Solutions TM 11
Terminal Transition Liquefaction technology: AP-C3MR (Air Products – Propane and Pre-cooled Mixed Refrigerant) Air Cooled, Electric Motor Drive Refrigerant Compressors Vessel Traffic: 200 Ships per year About 700MW of power A World of Solutions TM 12
Challenges – Land Acquisition Leased 170 acres adjacent to the current plot Purchase of land adjacent to the existing pipeline for the pre-treatment facility A World of Solutions TM 13
Challenges – Engineering Design Soil Conditions on Liquefaction Site Dredge Material Placement Area Extensive geotechnical studies performed All foundations will require piles Potential Storms All facilities designed to withstand a category 5 hurricane event All facilities grade levels set above potential storm surge Electrical System Design Working with Center Point for robust supply 75 MW motors Variable speed drives A World of Solutions TM 14
Regulatory Status Regulatory Agency Review Basis Submission Environmental impact – required Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) for construction Trade to non-FTA countries Department of Energy (DOE) Safety, location, traffic U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) Varies Other Federal, State and Local agencies North American LNG Import/Export Terminals Proposed/Potential A World of Solutions TM Source: FERC, Office of Energy Projects 2/21/2013 15
Community Involvement Freeport LNG developed a good relationship with the local community during the construction of the existing terminal Freeport LNG has held several open house meetings to inform the public of its future plans and regularly keeps in touch with the local community elected officials A World of Solutions TM 16
