1 The FERC Review Process and The Importance of Safe Pipeline and LNG Terminal Operation NASFM Annual Meeting- July 8, 2005 Office of Energy Projects Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

2 FERC 2 Who is FERC? Independent Regulatory Commission Five members –Appointed by the President –Confirmed by the Senate

3 FERC 3 Natural gas – a critical source of energy and raw material Vital to the US Economy ¼ of U.S. energy requirements environmental fuel of Choice and regulation provides about 19% of electric generation residential customers --60 million in 2001 U.S. industries- over 40% of all primary energy Industrial consumption, up by almost 48% from 1986 to 2001. Increase continues….. Production U.S. lower-48 and non-Arctic Canada flat to declining, LNG and Arctic gas will become the major supply source, providing 20-25% of U.S. demand by 2025. And lastly……..

4 FERC 4 Over 90 percent of the 185 GW of new electric generation since June 2001 is natural gas Source: Derived from Platts POWERmap

5 FERC 5 Safety?– How Important? Essential Prevention is Possible Compliance –Design Standards & Review –No Dig Rules –Testing and Repair Rules Inspection

21 FERC 21 FERC Office of Energy Projects Accidental breach scenario conclusions: Groundings and low speed collisions - no cargo spill High speed collisions - 0.5 to 1.5 m2 cargo tank hole Intentional breach scenario conclusions: Cargo tanks holes range from 2 to 12 m2 Nominal tank hole size of 5 – 7 m2 Sandia Report – Cargo Tank Breach Analysis

22 FERC 22 FERC Office of Energy Projects Zone 1 - significant impacts to public safety / property within 500 meters (1,640 feet) due to thermal hazards from a fire. Zone 2 – transition to less severe thermal hazard levels to public safety / property - 500 to 1,600 meters. Zone 3 - lower public health and safety impacts beyond 1,600 meters (5,250 feet). Large, unignited LNG vapor cloud unlikely, but could extend to 2,500 meters (8,200 feet). Sandia Report – General Hazard Analysis
