PROTECTING THE DEVELOPER’S INVESTMENT ACROSS THE
ENTIRE PROJECT CYCLE
INTRODUCING
CH•IV International was established in 1991 as CH•IV Corporation. The company provides consulting services to LNG asset developers, regulators, facility owners, operators and lenders to ensure assets are designed, developed, constructed and operated safely and in accordance with codes, regulations, and the project’s technical and commercial specifications.
CHIV specializes in the provision of LNG engineering and consulting services to the global LNG sector including North America, Asia, Africa, Europe, the Pacific Rim, and South America.
CHIV’s specialization in the LNG sector and permitting has enabled the development of design standards and models that allow the company to be more
agile and responsive than its larger competitors.
CHIV has provided services to the majority of US LNG export projects that sit before the Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission (FERC), and many small-scale LNG production projects designed under the US
Department of Transportation PHMSA vapor dispersion siting criteria. CHIV is also a technical
leader in the design of bunkering systems for ships using LNG for engine fuel.
In 2014 CHIV was acquired by Australia’s premier oil and gas contractor Clough Limited.
CHIV will continue to act independently and can now leverage complementary skills and synergies
across the entire LNG spectrum to provide a significantly strengthened LNG service to clients.

LNG IMPORT AND EXPORT FACILITIES
CLIENT: Freeport LNG
PROJECT: Freeport LNG Project
LOCATION: USA, Texas
SCOPE: Pre-FEED services investigating the design and regulatory requirements for converting the existing LNG import terminal to a world class LNG production and export facility. This was followed by the award of the Balance of Plant FEED for the 13.4 MPTA liquefaction facility.
CLIENT: EcoEléctrica
PROJECT: LNG Import Terminal
LOCATION: Puerto Rico
SCOPE: Owner’s engineering support including preparation of FEED for terminal expansion and LNG trailer loading station, procurement specifications for major equipment, EPC contractor scope of work, and oversight of detailed design.
CLIENT: Magnolia LNG, Houston, Texas, USA
PROJECT: Lake Charles LNG Production and Export Facility
LOCATION: USA, Louisiana
SCOPE: Front end engineering design (FEED) and compilation of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) Resource Report 11 and 13 for the proposed 8 MTPA LNG production and export facility. This included siting analysis (including vapor dispersion and thermal radiation exclusion zones, overpressure modeling, and toxicity modeling), NFPA 59A Fire Protection Evaluation, hazard detection, control, firewater system design details, and other required documentation. CHIV also oversaw the preparation of the LNG tank design, marine facilities design and geotechnical analysis.
CLIENT: Energy World Corporation
PROJECT: PT South Sulawesi LNG Facility
LOCATION: Indonesia
SCOPE: Front end engineering design (FEED) for the balance of plant for this 2.0 (expandable to 5.0) MTPA gas liquefaction and marine export facility.
SMALL SCALE AND PEAKSHAVING FACILITIES
CLIENT: State of Connecticut
PROJECT: Waterbury LNG Facility
LOCATION: USA, Central Connecticut
SCOPE: Engineering services to assure regulatory compliance. This included review and oversight of the design, safety and operational aspects of the facility, encompassing: RFP bid packages, EPC scope of work, design calculations, detailed drawings, procedures and manuals, project specifications and construction.
CLIENT: Confidential
PROJECT: Natural Gas Liquefier Feasibility Study
LOCATION: USA, New England
SCOPE: Study to evaluate a series of options to replace total historical LNG peakshaving liquefaction capacity at four different locations. The study considered a variety of liquefaction capacities, liquefaction technologies and electric or gas turbine drive. The study also considered siting criteria, permitting limitations and LNG trucking access. Capital and operations and maintenance cost estimates were generated for 16 different cases.
CLIENT: Baltimore Gas & Electric
PROJECT: Spring Gardens LNG Peakshaving Facility
LOCATION: USA, Maryland
SCOPE: Providing on-site engineering support ranging from oversight of cold box replacement start-up, operating procedure updating, hazard mitigation studies and hazard exclusion zone calculations.
CLIENT: Northeast Midstream of Toronto
PROJECT: Thorold LNG Production and Truck-Out Facility
LOCATION: Canada, Thorold, Ontario
SCOPE: Preliminary diligence to be used to assist the client to market the project to new equity investors and refine their views on the high level technical risks of the project. The project is a greenfield 180,000 gallon per day LNG production storage and truck-out facility.
CLIENT: Oregon LNG
PROJECT: LNG Export Facility
LOCATION: USA, Northwest Oregon
SCOPE: FEED for the 9 MTPA LNG production and export facility for Oregon LNG. The FEED was submitted in a permit application to construct the terminal.
CLIENT: Puget Sound Energy
PROJECT: Tacoma Fuels Project LNG Facility
LOCATION: USA, Washington State
SCOPE: Provision of permitting, site feasibility and selection and early engineering for this innovative 0.2 MTPA (scalable) liquefaction facility, purpose built to provide LNG as marine vessel bunkers.
CLIENT: Trunkline LNG
PROJECT: Lake Charles Liquefaction Project
LOCATION: USA, Louisiana
SCOPE: Development support of FERC resource reports for Trunkline LNG’s 15 MTPA Liquefaction Facility.

LNG REGULATORY SUPPORT
LNG PRODUCTION ENGINEERING CONSULTING SERVICES
CLIENT: Liquid Niugini Gas
PROJECT: LNG Production and Export Project
LOCATION: Papua New Guinea
