CoP LNG Shipping Experience
yesterday,
1959 – Methane Pioneer today and
tomorrow!
50 years of innovation
in LNG transportation!
1995 – Arctic Sun & Polar Eagle
2009 – Very Large LNGCs
ConocoPhillips - the LNG pioneer
• Continental Oil with partners built the world’s first barge mounted LNG Plant and
ocean going LNG Ship. On Jan 25, 1959 the Methane Pioneer left Louisiana with a
cargo of LNG bound for the UK – 49 years ago. It was also the first diesel powered
LNG vessel
• In 1968 the same ship was used to deliver the first inbound cargoes of LNG to the
US, which were offloaded from the vessel offshore, again making history
• Phillips Petroleum built the world’s 1st LNG plant to service Asian markets, providing
Japan with almost 40 years of uninterrupted service since 1969
• In 1995 Phillips, with its partner Marathon built the world’s first (and so far, only) LNG
ships using independently prismatic tanks
• Licensed in-house technology, CoP Cascade, to projects in Trinidad and Egypt and
using own technology for new equity supply projects in Australia/East Timor (Darwin
LNG) and in Nigeria (Brass LNG)
• First new US LNG import terminal in 3 decades under construction in Freeport TX. –
first gas 2008 and second Terminal on Texas coast, Golden Pass, being constructed
jointly with Qatargas and ExxonMobil.
• In partnership with Qatargas, COP is constructing an 8mtpa LNG plant in Qatar
which will supply the US using 10 very large LNGCs currently under construction in
Korea
