CONTEXT & ENVIRONMENT
The Papua LNG Project is a key project as it is the first major petroleum investment in Papua New Guinea, it is a combined onshore and offshore development project comprising:
? Well pads and the upstream gathering network including flowlines and two parallel multiphase trunklines
? Upstream Central Processing Facility (CPF), approximately 30 kms from the field
? Early works and Infrastructures
? Main onshore and offshore export system consisting of a single-phase gas pipeline and a condensate pipeline
? Integration in existing liquefaction plant located 325 km from the CPF in the vicinity of Port-Moresby Production Data: 875 MMSCFD of exported gas + 10kBPD of condensates

The main technical challenges are:
1. The upstream facilities and the pipeline export are located in a remote, dense and rainy tropical environment.
2. Infrastructures (road, quay, air-strip, base and camps) and river navigability shall be operational early during the project execution.
3. Ensure compliance of CPF design with Highest HSE Standards, Local requirements and IFC Standards.
4. Minimization of facilities footprint and of greenhouse gas emissions.
5. High seismicity area potentially impacting the design of the facilities.

The ‘’PNG environment’’ challenges are:
1. Papua LNG project will be spread along the Gulf of Papua. The area is highly environmentally sensitive with widespread biodiversity wilderness areas and coral reefs.
2. PNG is a young developing country with limited industrial sectors, skills shortages and high level of unemployment.
3. Train and employ PNG technical workforce to comply with the national regulation and the mobilization of National workforce in future construction teams.
4. Manage the risk related to the Project acceptability in an area which is culturally and linguistically diverse characterized by limited experience in Oil and Gas development projects.
5. Empowerment of Landowner companies established by people from the project area of influence in order to ensure in country sourcing activities.
6. Ensure a consistent National Content strategy between upstream and LNG plant extension.
7. Anticipated significant increase of the subsidiary activities and staff during the project execution.
8. Time and cost to obtain key project permits may be significant due to limited references of oil and gas development projects in PNG. The Papua LNG Project will be developed with the objectives to maximize economical results by optimizing the reserves, the schedule and/or reducing the costs, while maintaining the technical quality of the installations, with high H3SE requirements and focus. The PNG content of the work will also be a key factor to its success
