� For “Two-Trains-In-One” designs, detailed simulations utilized to provide production when one or more
drivers are offline
� No credit taken for potential production in excess of equipment design margins.
� No scheduled downtime assumed outside of normally
scheduled maintenance requirements such as for state
or country required shutdowns for internal inspections

ConclusionsConclusions
� A Thorough and Accurate RAM is an Invaluable Tool Throughout All Phases of a LNG Project.
� A RAM Analysis Should Begin Early in FEED or Pre-FEED Process and be Utilized Well After Startup
� Production Efficiency Should be Utilized for Life Cycle Cost Analysis – Not Availability
� Production Efficiency and Thermal Efficiency Should
be Given Equal Importance
� With Typical Production Efficiencies Ranging From 94
to 97% and Higher, the CoP LNG Process Offers an Attractive LNG Solution
