202. Definitions

1. Process system is the system that treats and liquefies produced gas from the well and generally composed of the treatment equipment for acid gas(sulphur compounds, carbonic acid, etc.) removal, dehydration and mercury removal from raw gas and liquefaction equipment of treated gas.

2. Regasification systems is the system that convert the liquefied gas into vapor to transfer the gas ashore.

3. Loading system is the system that transfer the liquefied gas to the storage tanks of units and is considered to include the loading arms or cryogenic hoses and piping systems up to inlet flange on the storage tanks.

4. Offloading system is the system that transfer a liquefied gas from the storage tanks of units to liquefied gas ships and is considered to include cargo pumps, gas compressors, the piping system up to cargo manifold and loading arms or cryogenic hoses.

5. Import system is the

riser that transfers the produced gas form well to the process systems in

units and is considered to include connections to the pipe line end manifold and connection to the first flange in the unit.

6. Export system is the

riser that transfers vaporized gas from units to shore and is considered to

include the connectin to the last flange manifold.
