3.0 - Project Due Diligence Importance

Pave Roadway to Successful Project Execution
Safely
On Schedule
Within the Project Budget
To Identify Risk & Perform Assessment to Determine Mitigation
Measures
To Program the Project for Success
20
4.0 - Approach to Risk Assessment
Risk Assessments Are Required for All Jobs – Don’t Start Work w/o One!
STEPS:
Identify Hazard/Risks
Assess the:
Likelihood of Occurrence
Impact of Consequence or Occurrence
Identify Control Measures
Implement Control Measures
Monitor and Review
Update as Required
Conducting Risk Reviews, Systematically relative to each Project Phase
Conceptual, Front End, FEED, EPC, Commissioning & Start-up
21
5.1 - Risk Management Plan
Purpose to Assure Significant Project Risks are Mitigated to the “As low as reasonably Practical”
With Intent to Identify Significant Risks and Assign to an Owner
Discuss & Develop Mitigation Measures w/respective Implementation Action Target Dates
Organize the Appropriate Experienced & Knowledgeable PMT for Lessons Learned, Project Execution Reviews, Approvals, & Oversight
Develop Team Effort & Spirit
Produce Risk Register for a Project “Living” Document for Progression Reviews & Updates as Required
22
5.2.a - Risk Factors
Project Location: Domestic vs Foreign
Availability of Resources
Regulatory Bodies & Regulations
Logistics for Materials, etc
Type of Project, Greenfield vs Brownfield
Maturity of Technology
23
Identify, assess, evaluate, and develop plans to preventing, mitigate,
or transfer significant risks (personnel safety, environmental, and
financial).
Risk control measures are evaluated with an appropriate balance
between risks/impacts, cost, schedule, and operational requirements.
Production of a Risk Management Plan that will be further developed
and followed throughout the Project Life
5.2.b - Risk Considerations
24
5.3.a - Top 10 Project Risks
Description of Risk Mitigant
Project Financing
LNG Purchase and Gas Sales Agreements expected to be in place prior to FID. With these long term
agreements and credit worthy position, the Project becomes readily financeable. Current credit markets are
favorable and alternative financing forms exists.
Natural Disasters
While none are anticipated, these events have the potential for significant damages, resulting in delayed
schedules. The majority of costs for restoring the project to its pre-event state will be covered under Builders
Risk Insurance. Advance preparation will minimize damages and immediate restoration actions in such an
event will minimize schedule delays.
Site Safety Safety Practices to be promoted and instilled in all Project Participants with developed safety guidelines,
procedures, safety environment socialization, Safety recognitions, etc—Zero Tolerance Approach.
Default of EPC Contractor
Screening for EPC contractors will be based on reputable, financially sound, LNG experienced, and industry
acceptable track record criteria. Evaluation and Selection process will determine the highest ranked bidder for
assurance of completion of all contractor’s obligations. Contract will include default clauses with requirements
for “irrevocable letter of credit or equivalent” in a specified percentage of Contract Price and retention of
specified percentage amount from each progress invoice payment as fall back, in the event of a default
Delay to Target Completion
Date(s)
Included in the EPC Execution Plan are Schedule Control processes to maintain the project schedule. This
processes with its associated tools, oversight, look ahead and progress reporting prevent any delays. In cases
where impacts to schedule are encountered, work around plans will be expeditiously activated
25
5.3.b - Top 10 Project Risks (continued)
Description of Risk Mitigant
Change to Design after Contract
Award
Project Management Team oversight on a day to day basis with a Management of Change Procedure will
be in place to control, coordinate and head off scope of work changes and avoid any cost and schedule
impacts
Government-Regulatory
Agencies’ Changes
Final Basis of Design will be in compliance with current regulations. Coordination and interface with the
regulatory bodies will be maintained during the project execution. Good communications as required for
data transfer , understanding and reporting will be part of PMT’s responsibility to mitigate any negative
impacts
Labor Disputes and Strikes
Assessment and study of Labor conditions and situations will be an ongoing activity within EPC contractor
and Project Management teams. Good working Relations will be established with labor groups prior to
project construction and maintained through project completion. As we proposed, Project Labor
Agreements could be negotiated and implemented
Materials and/or Labor Escalation
Reasonably assessed Allowance Factors for potential material and labor increase would be included in
Project Venture budget forecast and EPC contractor normally includes such allowances in their EPC
Lump Sum Contract
Currency Fluctuations Project Contracts would be base Country denominated. The risk for currency within the scope of each
contract will be borne by contractor, who normally factors this risk into their lump sum contract price

5.4 - Maintaining Awareness of Murphy’s LAW
Murphy’s Law ADAGE: “Anything That Can Go Wrong…
Will Go Wrong”

6.1.b - Recollection of Y2K Problem
The “Sky Will Fall” Predictions for end of Year 1999
Due to most Computer Dates had been Programmed w/Automatic with
Assumed Year Date which Began with two digits, that being ”19”
Much of Everyday lives Run by Computer
Effected Banks, Traffic Lights, Power Grid, Airport, Process Plants, etc
Globally, Numerous Risks Identified w/Mitigation Plan Developed by ALL
Much Preparation & Updated Programming Done
In Actuality, Very Little Adverse Effects were Experienced
Relatively Minor Millennium Bug Problems Occurred
