National Grid Grain LNG: Background 3 2012 Business 3 Optimization Conference

National Grid Grain LNG Vision In considering the way forward with their business processes, Grain LNG considered it to be important to align these to the company vision of; Innovation and Efficiency Continual improvement of processes to add value to staff and customers Operational Excellence Build on our existing knowledge to provide consistently excellent performance Around this vision, Grain LNG engaged Honeywell to scope potential improvements around a large variety of workflows 4 2012 Business Optimization Conference

CDP @ Grain LNG - Project Timeline June 2010: CDP Scoping Study Identify areas of improvement Dec 2010: Project Kick-Off "CDP Stage-1", incl. Staged Heat Nominations Forecasting (Heatpipe) Implementation Annual Unloading Plan (AUP) Jan 2011: Project Kick-Off "CDP Stage-2", incl. Marine Scheduling etc June 2011: SAT Stage-1 Scope July/Aug 2011: Scoping Study "Commercial Operations Business Processes" Sept 2011: SAT Stage-2 Scope July 2012: Project Kick-Off Stage-3 (Cost Allocation) Nov 2012 (Plan): SAT Stage-3 Scope 5 2012 Business Optimization Conference

Introducing Capacity Distribution Planner (CDP) Provides interactive, structured and collaborative environment for decision support Create model of production and distribution Provides daily prediction of key values such as production and inventories Enable view of plan and historical values Manage plan revisions and workflow Easy to Use Familiar Microsoft Office UI concepts Conditional formatting to flag deviations Supports what if capabilities Highly Configurable and Extensible Calculations configured similar to Excel Create views for specific users Easy to add plug in capabilities Foundation for Supply Chain Solution Integrates easily with other systems 6 2012 Business Optimization Conference

Capacity and Distribution Planner (CDP) Excel-like, but without the inherent limitations and consistency problems Flexible models Easy to use, navigate Manages approved plan and tracks actuals against this plan Foundation for broader supply chain solutions Highly extensible and customizable 7 2012 Business Optimization Conference

External Collaboration: Grain LNG - E.ON 2012 Business Optimization Conference Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

CHP Scheme Business Drivers LNG vaporisation requires a large quantity of energy, typically around 1.4% of the LNG vaporised E.ON built a 1.2 GW CCGT power station 3km from Grain LNG. Using excess heat (up to 227MW) from their condensing units to heat hot water for use in the vaporisation process Business Drivers Up to 300,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide saved E.ON benefit from levy exemption certificates for cleaner power generation Grain LNG save up to 170 mcm of customer's gas 11 2012 Business Optimization Conference

Combined Heat and Power Scheme Vaporiser Send-Out Gas LNG Storage Tank Steam Turbine Condenser Gas Turbine LNG Carrier at Jetty Natural Gas In 12 2012 Business Optimization Conference

Importance Of Collaboration The CHP project brings together two separate companies and processes with a combined goal Success is dependant on a wide variety of factors and data, some of which spans over the course of a year The scheduling of requirements needs to consider all relevant information and meet the demands of both teams Daily processes (heat nominations / renominations) to agree on heat requirements and delivery 13 2012 Business Optimization Conference

Annual Unloading Plan The Annual Unloading Plan (AUP) is a calendar showing when shippers are allowed to bring in a cargo The allocation of berthing slots is based on a number of heuristic rules including; Number of slots (per contract) Spacing between slots (per contract) Specific shipper-shipper relationships This was a manually intensive task to work out slot spacing in a way to minimise excursion from the rules 17 2012 Business Optimization Conference
