VHTL® – Superior Technology with Substantial Benefits
9
Fluid catalytic cracking (FCC)• Understood and widely used in the petroleum refining industry
(450 FCC units globally)• Uses heat to break down long chain molecules into much shorter molecules• Essentially it removes the ‘heaviest’ compounds and leaves the user with a
lighter product
VHTL® is FCC “with a twist”• Uses a similar but improved mechanical configuration• Injects oil with steam and uses combustion gas as lift gas to get hydrogenation • Uses additional turbulence (similar to “sandblasting”) to create additional
mechanical cracking
Benefits over FCC• Smaller, less costly facilities• Operates economically in facilities as small as 400 to 20,000 bpd• Eliminates need for hydrogen in hydrotreating units• Converts by-products from upgrading process into onsite energy• Does not use advanced Catalysts• Considerable environmental benefitsFeed Pre-fractionation

VHTL® – How It Works
10
LP Steam
Flue / Condenser Gas mixCollision pipes
• Feed is pre-flashed to remove light ends
• Residue is injected with steam into the reactor and contacted with hot turbulent sand
• Thermal and mechanical cracking lays down coke on sand and vaporises oil
• Steam combines with CO to form H2 for hydrogenation of oil
• Oil gas separated in cyclone from solids including coke and heavy metals
• Coke burnt in regenerator
• Oil gas condensed to form SCO

HTL® Engineering Purchased from Ivanhoe Energy
12
Significant feasibility work has been inherited from Ivanhoe Energy resulting in substantial future costs savings:
• The FEED package for Tamarak, a 20,000bpd upgrading facility planned in Canada by Ivanhoe Energy (designed by AMEC Foster Wheeler)
• A feasibility study for Dos Bocas, a 50,000bpd upgrading facility in Tabasco, Mexico, to service the Ku Maloop Zaap field (by AFW)
• A feasibility study for a 60,000bpd floating production, upgrading, storage and offloading facility to be delivered in conjunction with SBM, a specialist FPSO company.

OPEX – $3 to $5 / bbl
Manpower• Significant costs for operators on site• Shared operations with production• Remote operations of equipment with local
supervisionMaintenance• Significant scale advantages due to
manpower• Shared maintenance with producer• Maintenance friendly designSteam• OPEX sharing costs offset by sales of steam
to producer - ~70-100 KWh/bbl of excess energy
CAPEX $7,500 to $12,500 / bbl Capacity
Engineering• Costs mitigated through a “one design
approach”Equipment• Low capital cost due to simple approach• Core equipment only ~$3,000 / bbl capacityTie-ins• Largest CAPEX cost – dependant on site• Mitigated through minimal tie in’sInstallation and Commissioning• Modular skid mounted design• Minimal inter module connections• “One design” methodology reduces
commissioning times
