description

As the LNG market continues to grow internationally FSRUs have become an increasingly important component, in particular to smaller and growing economies worldwide. With 11 active FSRUs and over 40 approved and planned for the following years, the growth rate for FSRUs is increasing steeply. FSRU operations are likely to surge by 100% in the next two years as Governments and private companies continue to take advantage of a faster, cheaper and more flexible means of re-gasifying LNG. The 2nd Annual FSRU International 2014 Summit is the ONLY FSRU summit taking place in the Middle East, with a larger geographical focus including the Middle East, Eastern Mediterranean, India, Indonesia and Africa. FSRU 2014 provides you with a platform to hear the latest existing and planned FSRU operations in Indonesia, India, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon and other regional hot spots and investment areas. We are pleased to be the ONLY event in the region to draw together the leading international players in this exciting new area of the LNG industry to forge working relationships and fast-track new projects.

As the LNG market continues to grow internationally FSRUs have become an increasingly important component, in particular to smaller and growing

economies worldwide. With 11 active FSRUs and over 40 approved and planned for the following years, the growth rate for FSRUs is increasing steeply.

FSRU operations are likely to surge by 100% in the next two years as Governments and private companies continue to take advantage of a faster,

cheaper and more flexible means of re-gasifying LNG.

The 2nd Annual FSRU International 2014 Summit is the ONLY FSRU summit taking place in the Middle East, with a larger geographical focus

including the Middle East, Eastern Mediterranean, India, Indonesia and Africa. FSRU 2014 provides you with a platform to hear the latest existing and

planned FSRU operations in Indonesia, India, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon and other regional hot spots and investment areas. We are pleased to be the ONLY

event in the region to draw together the leading international players in this exciting new area of the LNG industry to forge working relationships and

fast-track new projects.

Jordan � Golar LNG Limited has signed a deal to provide the Government

of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan with the country’s first Floating Storage and Regasification (FSRU) time charter.

� The FSRU Golar Eskimo is said to hold a capacity of 160,000 cubic meters of LNG and will provide gas to the Jordan Gas Transmission Pipeline, which delivers natural gas to power plants throughout the Kingdom.

The case-study will include an in-depth timeframe overview of the latest FSRU developments along with the challenges faced so far.

Comprehensive Coverage Of the Latest FSRU Projects in the Region

IndIa S. Narayanan, Managing Director, Andra Pradesh Gas Distribution Corporation, India

India’s demand for LNG is growing; these two case-studies will focus on the two most important FSRU projects, the deep-water port at Kakinada and offshore Andhra Pradesh. Both locations are strategically placed and are considered as key markets for importing gas to India.

The deep-water port at Kakinada project:

� The latest developments in the recent submission of the draft Environmental Impact Assessment report and the signing of the Port Services Agreement will be discussed, as well as the commercial arrangements, operational factors of the project and current port facilities.

Andhra Pradesh (AP) FSRU project: � Andhra Pradesh Gas Distribution Corporation Ltd have recently entered into a project framework agreement with GDF Suez LNG UK Ltd, for jointly

setting up the first FSRU in offshore Andhra Pradesh. This case-study will explore the project stages with exclusive insights from Managing Director of Andra Pradesh Gas Distribution Corporation Mr. S. Narayanan including challenges and best practices of setting up FSRUs in East India.

dubaI and KuwaIt The case-study around existing FSRUs assesses the performance of operational FSRUs, namely in Jebel Ali port, Dubai first FSRU which has been operating since 2010, and Kuwait’s latest FSRU located in KNPC’s LNG import terminal Mina Al, which has been operating since March 2014.

The case-study will pay particular attention to how well these FSRUs have been functioning as well as what makes FSRUs successful and why countries choose to use them as opposed to on-land regasification plants?

IIR Middle East is proud to continue welcoming key FSRU representatives from across the value chain to this growing international summit. Some of last year’s senior level delegates and leading industry speakers included:

Lebanon � Lebanon has become the most recent country in the Middle East

to launch international tenders for its first FSRU in the Beddawi area.

� The FSRU is to supply local power plants with natural gas, as well as the coastal pipeline that will interconnect all coastal existing and future power plants.

Zaher Sleiman, Advisor to the Minister, Head of LNG Unit, Ministry of Energy and Water, Lebanon

The case-study will include exclusive updates around the latest FSRU developments. From evaluating the thirteen prequalified companies, discussing the major deadlines and milestone, to Lebanon’s roadmap for becoming a future exporter.

Who Will I Meet?

Geographical Breakdown

Why should your company sponsor the 2nd International FSRU 2014 Summit?5 Great Reasons To Sponsor:

1 New Business Leads – Conferences work. Unlike the visitors at trade shows and exhibitions, conference delegates are qualified decision makers with the authority to make investment decisions / present their company business case. You’ll be meeting and doing business with select groups who have chosen to invest their money, and more importantly time, in addressing the specific challenges within FSRU projects globally.

2 Brokering New Business Partnerships or Services – Our clients tell us that

contracts generated at our conferences have a high conversation rate, as those attending are serious investors, lenders, government representative’s or project sponsors with the means to actively create and close details. The summit includes different examples of FSRU project stages along with the latest FSRU investment opportunities.

3 Launch New Products or Services – Our delegates are people who have come

looking for solutions, and sponsoring puts you on a platform to demonstrate your expertise and win their business. In aligning yourself with the experts speaking on the conference agenda, you will be able to demonstrate how your solutions overcome the obstacles faced by your clients. As many new FSRUs are under construction, the summit will highlight investment areas and identify market shifts, allowing your business to prepare and stay ahead of these changes.

4 Enter New Markets – Branding and exhibiting on site at a conference are one

of the most cost effective and time efficient ways of entering new markets. It is a great opportunity to research and network whilst gaining exposure to a new and qualified database. By gathering the key industry representatives from across the LNG FSRU business, the summit will allow you to increase your market visibility and improve your competitor analysis & benchmarking.

5 Build Customer Loyalty – Face to face contact at conferences shows continued

support of a market and helps you to develop client loyalty as well as cementing your position as a market leader.
