INEOS and Skanled
20
Original Concept for INEOS
Skanled pipe comes through Grenland
INEOS constructs and operates a Gas Separation Plant to extract … Ethane from dry gas Additional Ethane spiked into gas flow at Karsto
21
Cancellation of GSP
INEOS decided in January that the GSP project could not work
Return on Investment was very poor
World ethylene demand had collapsed further undermining the investment
INEOS cash availability was limited
Could not secure long term agreements for economic gas supply
22
Revised Skanled Scope
Branch line to Grenland
Would allow Yara to consume dry gas and release the ethane currently used by Yara
INEOS would use the Yara ethane to expand the cracker at Rafnes (+150kt NGL)
€70-75m investment in cracker expansion
Future Plans for INEOS in Grenland
24
The INEOS Cracker
Yara ethane expansion option not available without Skanled
Expansion based on additional LPG’s s feasible and will be the subject of further study
Expansion will need to be timed with recovery in European ethylene demand
INEOS still believes that the best option for the Rafnes cracker is a significant expansion based on additional ethane
25
Additional Ethane
Ethane is a valuable chemical feedstock
It should not be exported from Norway for fuel use when significant value can be added within Norway
The challenge is to find ways to economically extract ethane from the dry gas system
We believe that Norway can have a highly competitive petrochemical industry if a solution can be found to the ethane issue
26
INEOS ChlorVinyls
Securing feedstock for the Rafnes cracker opens the way for further expansion in ChlorVinyls chlorine/EDC in addition to cracker expansion
BUT
We need more confidence in the long term supply of economic power to Grenland
27
Long Term Power
INEOS in Grenland is a large consumer of electricity, ~1,3 TWh annually
Electricity is a raw material and an important part of production costs
Final products are mainly exported and competition is global
Access to competitive, long-term power contracts is a key issue for investments
28
The Power Challenge
INEOS is partially covered by long term contracts to 2015
No long term contracts in place after 2015
Similar to many power intensive users in Norway
Need to secure competitive, long term contracts within current market framework
Indirect carbon costs increase power price (even for CO2 free generation)
Illiquid market for long term contracts of 15-20 years
Extensive up front guarantees required
29
Summary
INEOS remains very committed to Grenland
Still seeking expansion options across our businesses
Need competitive long term power supplies
Opportunity for Norway to add significant value to Norwegian ethane in Grenland
