LNG Terminal FSRU Financial Model – Excel XLSX

BENEFITS OF THIS DOWNLOADABLE EXCEL DOCUMENT

1. Choose the right terminal with confidence: onshore and FSRU run side by side on one 26-year grid at the same 5 MTPA capacity. Capex, time to first gas and unit costs are compared like-for-like, not across two separate studies.
2. Show lenders what they test: DSCR, a distribution lock-up covenant, a DSRA and integrity checks that must read PASS are built in from the start.
3. See how financing changes the returns: the financed and all-equity cases run together, so you can see how leverage moves equity IRR and value before you commit to a structure.

OIL & GAS EXCEL DESCRIPTION

LNG Terminal FSRU Financial Model is an Excel template (XLSX) available for immediate download upon purchase.

Across new and emerging gas markets, sponsors face the same question: build a permanent onshore regasification terminal, or move faster with a Floating Storage and Regasification Unit (FSRU)? The answer drives billions in capex, the time to first gas, and whether lenders will back the project. This is an LNG Terminal is built: Onshore vs FSRU Comparative Financial Model, a 20-year integrated project finance model on the basis was developed:
So, What's inside the model:
▸ Control tab: switch between Onshore and FSRU, financed and all-equity, and three depreciation methods, all from one sheet
▸ Technical / cost build: 5 MTPA nameplate, utilisation ramp, toll revenue, line-by-line capex with an S-curve draw, bottom-up opex, and a decommissioning provision
▸ Fiscal layer: Tax Analysis computation with CIT, the Development Levy, capital allowances and loss carry-forward
▸ Financing: senior debt with moratorium and fees, a PIK shareholder loan, DSRA, and full sources and uses
▸ Three financial statements: income statement, balance sheet, and direct and indirect cash flows inclusive
▸ Cash waterfall: CFADS, DSCR, a distribution lock-up covenant, dividends & equity buy-back
▸ Valuation: project and equity DCF, EV/EBITDA, levelised cost of throughput, breakeven toll rate, exit analysis, and a 4-way Onshore/FSRU x Financed/Unfinanced comparison
Why it matters:
1. A side-by-side answer, not two separate studies. Both options run on one 26-year grid at the same 5 MTPA capacity, so the comparison is like-for-like. This shows what lenders test. DSCR, lock-up covenants, a DSRA and integrity checks. It Shows what financing with financed and all-equity cases run side by side, so you can see how leverage changes equity IRR and value.

So Who it's for: project sponsors, infrastructure and energy investors, project finance banks and DFIs, and advisory teams working on gas-to-power and LNG import projects.
