1. GENERAL
This document outlines the basic design criteria to be used for the proposed Oregon LNGImport Terminal (“Terminal”).
The Terminal will be located on the East Skipanon Peninsula near the confluence of the
Skipanon and the Columbia Rivers in Warrenton, Clatsop County, Oregon. The Oregon
LNG Development Company holds a long term sub-lease for the 96 acre parcel of land upon
which the Terminal will be sited.
The Terminal will be designed with a base-load natural gas sendout capacity of 1.0 billion
standard cubic feet per day (“Bscfd”) and a peak of up to 1.5 Bscfd. The Project will
receive LNG discharged from oceangoing LNG carriers, which will be stored in three (3)
160,000 cubic meter (“m3”) aboveground, full containment LNG storage tanks. LNG will be vaporized into natural gas, and sent out from the terminal via an approximately 121-mile
sendout pipeline. LNG carriers will arrive at the Oregon LNG Project via marine transit
through the Skipanon Channel.
The scope of this document includes the on-shore LNG import terminal up to its battery
limit and the piping systems and associated equipment on the marine facility. Excluded
from the scope of this document is the marine facility structure itself and the off-site natural
gas sendout piping system.

2. PROCESS DESCRIPTION
The following describes the normal operating modes of the Terminal.
2.1. LNG Sendout Mode without Carrier Unloading
When operating in this mode the in-tank, column mounted LNG pumps circulate
LNG through a small diameter circulation line to the marine facility and back through
the LNG transfer pipeline to the LNG storage tank(s) in order to keep these piping
systems cold. LNG is also sent from the storage tank to the BOG condenser and
suction drum of the HP pumps prior to vaporization and sendout.
In this operating mode boiloff gas (BOG) is continuously generated in the tanks due
to heat leak into the system piping, heat leak through the insulated tank walls, and
heat added by the in-tank LNG pumps. BOG will be compressed by the BOGCompressors and condensed in the BOG Condenser. The condensed BOG will be
routed to the HP Pumps for sendout.
2.2. LNG Sendout Mode with Carrier Unloading Mode
A single LNG carrier will moor at the unloading berth. Following cooldown of the
unloading arms, the carrier will use onboard pumps to transfer the LNG through the
unloading arms and the LNG transfer pipeline to the LNG storage tanks. The LNG
unloading and transfer system will be designed to unload a carrier at a maximum rate
of 14,000 m3/hr.
During carrier unloading, vapor in the LNG storage tanks will be displaced by the
LNG pumped into the storage tanks. Some of the displaced vapor will be returned to
the carrier by the vapor return system via vapor return blowers, a vapor return
pipeline and a vapor return arm connected to the carrier. Vapor return rate will be
controlled to maintain the pressure in the carrier’s tanks.
Additional BOG will be generated due to the heat added by the carrier’s transfer
pumps and the heat leak into the tank and piping systems. Any excess BOG not
returned to the carrier will be compressed by BOG compressors and condensed in a
BOG Condenser. The condensed BOG will be routed to HP Pumps for sendout.
LNG is also sent from the storage tank to the BOG condenser and suction drum of theHP pumps prior to vaporization and sendout.

6. LNG CARRIERS
6.1. Design Requirements – LNG
• The Terminal is expected to receive LNG tankers that range in from 70,000 m3 to
266,000 m3.
• The Terminal will have a single berth.
• The Terminal will be capable of unloading LNG at a maximum rate of 14,000 m3/hr via
3 x 16” LNG unloading arms. A single 16” vapor return arm will be used to return
vapors displaced from the LNG storage tanks to the carrier.
• The minimum available pressure at the carrier’s LNG unloading manifold flange is 330
feet of head (approximately 65 psig, but is a function of LNG specific gravity).
6.2. Terminal Design Requirements – BOG
• The maximum allowable saturation pressure of a carrier’s cargo on arrival at the
Terminal is 2.5 psig. Note: this is the equilibrium pressure and is not to be confused
with the carrier tank vapor pressure.
• The vapor return requirements from the Terminal to the carrier, as measured at the
carrier’s vapor return flange, are:
• The maximum required vapor flow returned to the carrier is to include a normal
boiloff rate from the carrier. A design boiloff rate of 0.15% of the full contents per
day at 95°F ambient for newer carriers and a maximum boiloff rate of 0.25% of the
full contents per day at 95°F ambient for older carriers is to be used.
• Design pressure at carrier vapor return flange = 1.45 psig
• Maximum temperature at carrier vapor return flange = -180°F

7. LNG STORAGE TANKS
7.1. Description
The terminal shall have a total LNG storage capacity of 480,000m3 (net). LNG will
be stored in three identical 160,000 m³ (net) LNG storage tanks.
The LNG storage tanks shall be flat-bottomed, vertical, cylindrical, full containment
type design. The inner tank will be constructed of a suitable cryogenic alloy such as
9% nickel steel, as the primary liquid containment. The outer tank walls and roof
shall consist of reinforced concrete and will be designed to contain the vapor as well
as provide secondary containment of the LNG in the unlikely event of an inner tank
failure. Outer tank walls will also include post-tensioned cables as required by the
design.
The LNG storage tank and foundation design shall be based on the results of the site
specific geotechnical investigation and site specific seismic hazard evaluation.
If the outer tank base is in direct contact with the ground, a tank foundation heating
system will be provided to prevent subsoil freezing and frost heave below the tank.
The base heating system for each tank will be fully redundant.
7.2. Operating Limitations
The maximum allowable working pressure of the tank will be 4.3 psig with the
following operating set points:• LNG Tank Relief Valve Set Point .............................................................4.3 psig
• Discretionary Vent PIC Set Point ...............................................................4.0 psig
• Normal Operating Pressure Range .....................................................0.5 to 3.7 psig
• Operating Pressure to Size BOG Compressor .............................................. 3.5 psig
The tank minimum design LNG density is 29.3 lb/ft3.
The minimum design LNG temperature is -270°F.
The LNG tank floor and exposed wall shall be designed to accommodatetemperatures of -320°F in case liquid nitrogen is to be used during the initial cool
down procedure.

7.3. Other Design Considerations
The maximum allowable design vacuum on the tank will be determined by the tank
designer but shall not be less than 2.0" w.c. A tank pressure maintenance system will
be provided to prevent vacuum conditions from occurring during normal operation.
A vacuum relief system will be installed on the tank and will be sized for the worst
case conditions.
The heat leak into the LNG storage tank will give a maximum boil-off of 0.05% per
day at 95°F ambient temperature, based on pure methane and a full tank.
The tank will be designed to handle the full discharge rate from the LNG carrier
through either top or bottom fill connections.
Instrumentation will be provided for continuous level, temperature and density
measurements throughout the level of the tank inventory to monitor for stratificationof the tank contents. Features shall be provided in the design to rapidly circulate the
stored LNG to thoroughly mix the contents, should stratification start to develop.

8. VAPOR HANDLING SYSTEMS
8.1. Vapor Handling Priority
• The LNG tank shall first be protected from low pressure by introducing re-
vaporized LNG into the BOG Header.
• The LNG carrier’s tanks shall next be protected from low pressure by returning
BOG to the carrier through the Vapor Return Arm.
• Excess vapor (indicated by rising LNG tank pressures) will be condensed in the
BOG Condenser and sent out through the vaporization system. The BOG
Condenser shall be sized to condense the BOG gas stream generated during
tanker offloading and normal sendout operations. The BOG Condenser shall be
sized for the minimum sendout rate of 300 mmscfd during LNG carrier offloading
operations. The operating pressure of the BOG Condenser shall be optimized for
the vapor compression and LP Pump requirements.
• During extended periods of zero sendout or with loss of the BOG Compressors
and Vapor Return Blowers during LNG carrier unloading with the LNG storage
tank operating near the vent pressure setpoint, excess vapor will be safely flared
through the Flare Stack.
8.2. Flare Design Basis
The Terminal will be designed to minimize fugitive emissions with no flaring during
all normal operations using a Closed Vent/Drain System. All LNG and Natural Gas
relief valves (excluding LNG Storage Tank, Fuel Gas Drum and the LNG Vaporizer process relief valves) will be vented into a closed vent flare system that is common
with the LNG storage tank vapor spaces.
In case of excess relief system pressure an atmospheric flaring system will be
installed. The following are abnormal situations that will result in venting of natural
gas:
• Initial Cooldown of the Terminal
• Extended Power Outage
• Extended ESD Events
• Unexpected loss of vapor handling equipment during carrier unloading with the
LNG tank operating near maximum normal operating pressure

9. LNG PUMPS
9.1. Description
There are two LNG pumping systems: LP (Low Pressure) Pumps and HP (High
Pressure) Pumps.
• The LP Pumps are column mounted submerged motor type and will be located
inside and near the bottom of the LNG storage tanks.
• The HP Pumps will be multi-stage centrifugal submerged motor type and will be
mounted in individual sealed and insulated suction vessels.
9.2. Design Considerations
All pumps will be provided with an individual minimum flow recycle line and flowcontrol to protect the pump from insufficient cooling and to maintain bearing
lubrication at low flow rates.
All pumps will have remotely monitored pressure, flow, vibration and motor
amperage signals.
All pumps will be designed to be isolated and safely maintained without requiring
other pumps to be removed from service. The LP Pumps will be removable for
maintenance while maintaining an operating level in the LNG storage tank.
LP pumps will be sized such that two pumps are needed for the base load sendout of1.0 bsfcd; a third pump will operate during higher sendout flows. To allow maximum
operating flexibility, the LP pump piping system for each tank will be sized to allow
simultaneous full flow from each of the tank's two LP pumps.
Each HP Pump will be supplied from a common suction manifold and discharge into
a common manifold supplying the vaporizers. Valves will be provided to safely
isolate each pump from the system.
