EXHIBIT A
"Description of Project"
Golden Pass Products (GPP) and Golden Pass Pipeline LLC (collectively, "Golden
Pass") propose to own, site, construct, and operate a liquefied natural gas ("LNG")
export project ("GPX Project"). The GPX Project consists of:
(1) The Export Facility, which will be constructed adjacent to the Golden Pass
LNG Terminal LLC ("GPLNG") import terminal site, located onshore at the
Sabine-Neches Waterway in Jefferson County,Texas;and
(2) Additions to the existing Golden Pass Pipeline LLC system ("GPPL") by construction
of approximately a total of three to four miles of new 24 inch pipeline in two non-
contiguous loops and up to four new compressor stations with all necessary integration
interconnections for bi-directional service. Note; Not all these additions will be within
the reinvestment zone therefore not subject to this abatement application.
The planned GPX Project will be located on over 1,100 acres owned or controlled by GPP
affiliates in Jefferson County, Texas. The GPX Projectwill allow Golden Pass to
receive natural gas from domestic sources, convert naturalgas to LNG, store, load, and export
that LNG. GPX Project will be constructed and operated contiguous to and integrated with the
GPLNG terminal and GPPL.This will enable Golden Pass to maximize use of the existing GPLNG
terminal and GPPL facilities, to provide for bi-directional service and thus allow for exportation and
importation of natural gas. GPP will construct three liquefaction trains with a nominal total production
capacity of 15.0 millionmetric tons per annum (MTPA) of LNG for export (each having a nominal
throughput of 5.0million MTPA). The Project is expected to be constructed in phases, with each
LNG train commencing operations approximately six to twelve months after the previous train. A
separate Chapter 312 Abatement are being filed for each train. This application is for the the
Project and all newly installed and constructed supporting infrastructure improvements including, but
not limited to, land improvements, tanks, intra plant piping,pumps,refrigeration equipment,
compression, utilities,plant control equipment,pollution control equipment, buildings and associated
equipment to support these major components.
The GPX Project includes, but is not limited to, the following major
components described below.
a) Inlet gas treating systems utilizing amine for carbon dioxide, hydrogen
sulfide removal followed by molecular sieve dehydration. Water and heavy
hydrocarbons will be removed by dehydration units,scrubbers and separators.
b) Liquefaction capability for each Train will have a nominal throughput
capacity of 5.0 MTPA. This process train will include the following
components:
i. Propane pre-cooling, mixed refrigerant LNG process (also known as
the C3MR process)utilizing two gas-fired turbines;
ii. Coil wound main cryogenic heat exchangers for liquefaction and sub-cooling.
c) Nominal electrical power generation of up
to 100 megawatts.
d) Associated utilities, equipment
and air coolers.
e) Interconnections to existing import
facilities and controls.
f) Installation of facilities to allow for the
loading of LNG(truck).
g) The addition of LNG storage tank pumps to accommodate
loading operations.
h) Central control room and terminal
isolation equipment.
i) Additional buildings for administration, maintenance, security, utilities, and
storage warehouses.
j) Expansion of the facility's storm protection levee system, safety
and security assets.
k) Optimization of facility processes to allow for import and
export capabilities.
