Suncor pioneered the commercial
development of Canadian oil sands in 1967
and remains at the forefront of sustainable
development in the region. Water is critical to
Suncor’s operations, being used to separate
the oil from sand and associated fines and to
create steam for injection into the oil-bearing
reservoir for in-situ extraction. Consequently,
careful stewardship of its water management
programs helps Suncor to maintain its license
to operate and meet its sustainability
objectives. The monitoring services ensure
the re-establishment, protection and ongoing
health of adjacent aquatic ecosystems.
WorleyParsons is actively involved in helping
Suncor manage its groundwater and surface
water monitoring programs at its oil sands
mine sites. Services include the performance
of statistical analysis on large amounts of
data, risk assessments and assistance with
government liaison, expert testimony and
program implementation management.
Our innovative use of forensic investigative
techniques to clarify site conditions and
determine the potential effects of mining
activities and tailings ponds on local
groundwater, has enabled Suncor to
implement highly targeted groundwater and

Ivanpah Solar Electric Generating Station
BrightSource Energy will provide 400 MW of
renewable power to the California electric grid
from three solar central receiver plants on the
same desert site near Ivanpah, California. The
plants will be the first commercial solar central
receiver systems in the USA. The Ivanpah project
is the first of several solar power projects that
BrightSource is developing to serve the California
market. The plants will connect into the California
power grid through Southern California Edison’s
115 kV system via a new substation which will be
built for the project and will produce electricity for
California free of carbon emissions.
Solar central receiver plants use a field of
thousands of mirrors that track the sun and reflect
solar radiation onto a receiver atop a tall tower.
The receiver absorbs the heat to generate
superheated steam, which is used in a conventional
turbine-generator. The plant will use an air-cooled
condenser, eliminating the need for cooling water
in the arid desert climate. WorleyParsons is the
owner’s engineer for the plant, providing design
and permit application support.
Solar central receiver technology promises
to significantly lower the cost of power when
compared to other solar technologies. Miles of
piping is eliminated and the plants operate at
a higher steam temperature and pressure,
increasing system efficiency. With no cooling water
required, water consumption at the plant is
virtually eliminated.
This project represents a leap forward in
commercialization of advanced solar technology by
increasing the plant efficiency, lowering costs and
producing clean, carbon-free electricity. These
plants will help California eliminate the use of
fossil-fired generation and reach the State’s
greenhouse gas emission reduction goals.

The delivery of brownfield projects and long term
sustaining capital contracts – serviced through
WorleyParsons Improve – remained a focus area,
with significant expansion achieved in the aluminium
smelting industry. In addition, our ongoing
involvement with BHP Billiton’s massive Olympic
Dam development in South Australia provides a solid
foundation for further growth in both the Improve
business and the minerals & metals customer sector
within that state.
The acquisition of TMG Rail provided an important
building block within the Infrastructure customer
sector. Water is anticipated to be a key future
growth area for this sector, both within the region
and internationally. Our involvement in major
desalination projects in Perth and Melbourne,
coupled with establishment of a number of key third
party relationships, ensures we are well positioned
to meet anticipated demand – both from a resource
and capability perspective.
The increasing use of Workshare with other
WorleyParsons offices proved to be a successful
strategy. Melbourne and Sydney successfully
supported international projects in Saudi Arabia,
Thailand, India and PNG, while Beijing supported
a number of projects from within the region.
The Australia and New Zealand operation
also provided the core front end team for the

Belene Nuclear Power Plant
WorleyParsons is participating in the European
nuclear renaissance in the role of the
architect/engineer for the Natsionalna
Elektricheska Kompania’s (NEK) Belene Nuclear
Power Plant project in Bulgaria. This pioneering
project is one of three Generation 3 nuclear power
plants currently under construction in Europe.
The cost competitive power produced will enable
Bulgaria to remain a key supplier to the south
European electricity market and reduce
environmental impact through the elimination of
greenhouse gas emissions.
In 2005, the Bulgarian Council of Ministers decided
to construct two 1,000 MWe nuclear units at
Belene, located on the River Danube. The project,
currently under construction, will provide new
electrical capacity to meet future growth in the
Bulgarian and southeastern regions of Europe and is
one of the largest investment projects in Europe.
The two Belene units will produce a combined
output equivalent to 2,000 MWe, helping restore
the traditionally high share of nuclear generated
power in Bulgaria’s energy mix, which was drastically
reduced following the recent closure of two plants.
This electricity will be generated without any
greenhouse emissions and the plant footprint is
smaller than that required to generate similar
capacity by other means.
The Belene project is a precise fit with the goals of
WorleyParsons’ EcoNomics™ initiative. The feasibility
study delivered a holistic assessment of the
technical and economic impacts of the facility
throughout its entire lifecycle, from initial
construction through plant operation, waste
disposal, and ultimate disposal or storage of used
nuclear fuel. This expanded decision window and
full consideration of all aspects of the project
lifecycle are key to ensuring projects remain resilient
into the future. The outcome is a facility that
provides greater environmental benefit at a
competitive cost, benefiting not only customers,
but the European community.

Business Overview
Substantial growth continued throughout
Asia during this year. Personnel numbers
grew beyond 3,000 with over 1,000 personnel
currently in both Malaysia and China.
In China we secured our largest EPCM chemicals
project to date for Degussa. World-class project
systems and connectivity enabled the Beijing High
Value Engineering center to Workshare effectively
with Australia, New Zealand, Saudi Arabia, United
States of America, United Kingdom, Singapore and
Malaysia. Upstream hydrocarbons capabilities
strengthened and projects were secured with
ConocoPhillips and Roc Oil.
In Malaysia, Ranhill WorleyParsons serviced
major projects for international customers and
local Malaysia operators. Workshare was used
extensively to support delivery on projects such as
Umm Shaiff for ADMA OPCO and the Rare Earths
Project FEED and EPCM for Lynas. An enhanced
environmental capability positions us well to service
the growing regional environmental markets.
In Singapore we experienced solid growth. Power
continued to expand to meet the needs of domestic
customers and a growing regional customer base.
Using the global-local model the Singapore and
Qatar infrastructure groups delivered a combined
solution for Keppel’s Qatar Domestic Solid Waste
Project. The sub-sea pipelines and downstream
hydrocarbons groups grew significantly and looking
forwards the prospects for the downstream sector
remain good, with a number of major developments
planned to proceed next year.
In Indonesia, we extended our position at the
high-end of the hydrocarbons market, with ongoing
contracts for ConocoPhillips, Amerada Hess and
TOTAL. Further diversification into the Minerals
& Metals sector was achieved through
contracts with PT Inco, using Workshare with
WorleyParsons Gas Cleaning in Dallas.
Our Thai operations continued to expand locally and
internationally, in particular using Workshare to
support our Canadian colleagues in executing oil
sands projects and our Brunei colleagues to service
long term customers like BSP and BLNG and an
increasing workload with TOTAL.
WorleyParsons entered the growing Indian market
by the 50% acquisition of Kirpalaney and Associates
in Mumbai. WorleyParsons Kirpalaney services the
power, chemicals and hydrocarbons sectors in India.

Keppel, in line with its strategy of increasing
involvement in environmentally friendly
developments, is completing a project to
construct and operate a solid waste collection
and treatment facility in Qatar. The
development consists of four new facilities
and the integration of one existing transfer
station. On completion, the development will
set new standards for the treatment of
domestic solid waste in the Arabian Gulf
region.
Keppel engaged WorleyParsons to complete
the FEED and detailed design associated with
the development. Responsibilities include civil
and structural design, transportation studies,
mechanical and electrical building services
design, electrical power distribution and
transmission and landfill design.
This combination of regional presence and
local knowledge provide Keppel with access to
management resources in Singapore and
specialist engineers in Qatar, with an
understanding of the codes, standards and

The Umm Shaif Gas Injection Facilities (USGIF)
project is the first phase of a major
redevelopment of the Umm Shaif Field,
located in the Abu Dhabi sector of the Arabian
Gulf. The USGIF facilities comprise a
compression platform (CP-1), a collector
separator platform (CSP-1) and an
accommodation platform (UAP). CSP-1 is
linked by bridge to the existing Umm Shaif
Super Complex. The facilities will receive,
dehydrate and re-inject 219 BSCF per annum
of gas into the Umm Shaif reservoirs to
maintain and enhance existing oil production.
WorleyParsons originally performed the FEED
for the USGIF in Perth directly for ADMA OPCO
and we were subsequently engaged by
HHI to provide detailed engineering for its
EPC contract for the facilities. Detailed
engineering was executed in various locations
with the majority of the work performed
in Kuala Lumpur. The brownfield engineering
for the “tie-ins” was completed in Abu Dhabi
and the pipelines were completed in Singapore
using our sub-sea pipeline engineering center
of excellence.
The project was successfully delivered against
extreme scheduling demands driven by long
lead times on procured equipment, which
created the critical path for construction
programs within the EPC contract.

Guiding the clean-up of one
of the 10 most polluted cities
on the planet
WorleyParsons is central to the remediation of
former mine sites in Zambia’s Copperbelt province
and Kabwe city (considered one of the world’s
10 most polluted cities). The project engages
key stakeholders in channeling the modest
remediation budget to optimize social and
environmental benefits, while minimizing
expenditure on reclamation. In achieving this
outcome, WorleyParsons was integral in facilitating
the sustainable privatization of the Zambian
mining industry, thus increasing its attractiveness
for future investment.
WorleyParsons’ involvement in Zambia’s mining
industry started in 2001 through the Copperbelt
Environmental Project (CEP) to restore the
degraded lands of former state mining
company, ZCCM. The CEP confronted numerous
environmental, technical, economic and social
challenges, including safe closure of over
100 tailings dumps close to areas of dense
population. These dumps contaminate water
resources and generate toxic dust.
In 2005, the Zambian Ministry of Finance and
National Planning engaged WorleyParsons to field
an Independent Assessment Team to oversee
implementation of the CEP. A principal challenge
was to maximize benefits from the modest
US$50 million budget, considerably less than
prevailing estimates. The team developed
an integrated decision support matrix to
screen land-use options against economic,
environmental and social criteria. Key stakeholders,
including affected communities, collaborated to
assign evaluation criteria, creating a rational
planning process that maximized social and
environmental benefits and minimized
unnecessary expenditure.
Balancing environmental and social sustainability
with economic reality is integral to WorleyParsons’
EcoNomics™ approach. Our engagement on the CEP
provides recognition of this capability by the
Government of Zambia and institutions such as
The World Bank in the areas of environmental
human health risk assessment, community
engagement and socio-economic analysis.

personnel – their skill, efficiency
and innovative thinking
differentiate us.
At WorleyParsons we strive for
the perfect day, every day, as the
means of achieving our vision of
Zero Harm to people, assets and
the environment. Our Health,
Safety and Environmental (HSE)
expectations are vital and
integral elements of our business
and are embedded into our
supporting management systems
and processes and influence
everything that we do.
EcoNomics™ is our range of
services and technologies
that profitably embed
environmental, social and
economic sustainability into
project delivery, across the asset
lifecycle.
Strong growth continues to
characterize our performance
– through the organic
development of our business
in each country and through
strategic, targeted acquisition.
Both are possible because we
strive to create a structure and a
culture that is sensitively in tune
with local markets and our
customers. Equally, it is possible
because we encourage our
people to create and capitalize on
opportunities and we provide
strong knowledge management
systems for every project and
office to access best practice and
world-class expertise.
WorleyParsons has implemented
a number of initiatives to provide
a work environment that rewards
people for their commitment and
performance and encourages a
healthy balance between work
and lifestyle. Our aim is to recruit,
develop and, most importantly,
retain the people who share our
vision and strategy.
This year our staff continued
to grow rapidly via merger,
acquisition and direct hire, adding
9,000 people, or over 60%, to our
number of employees. The quality
of the opportunities at
WorleyParsons and the caliber of
our existing staff are major draw
cards to prospective employees.
We continue to search for
excellent and committed staff
who are specialists in their fields
and who seek challenge, fair
treatment and rewards for
success.
During last year we undertook a
fundamental review of our
existing health, safety and
environmental management
systems and assessed them
against our current and
anticipated future needs. As a
result of this review we will
progressively implement an
innovative, global, behavior based
HSE management framework,
called OneWay. The new
framework will enhance our
leadership, governance and
reporting capabilities as well as
providing increased focus on
leading – rather than laggingperformance measures.
This year we have developed our
strategy to embrace the material
challenges facing our business
and our customers in responding
to the changing operating
environment and the ongoing
demand for environmentally,
socially and financially
sustainable solutions.
Our implementation of this
strategy commenced with
identifying and drawing together
our substantial, impressive array
of capabilities embedded
throughout our global business
as well as in WorleyParsons
Environmental group. We have
established a strong set of
capabilities in four key areas of
Assessment, Efficiency,
Treatment & Mitigation.
In defining and implementing
EcoNomics™ we have worked
closely with customers with
whom we have relationships
to understand their needs and
develop solutions in tandem.
At the same time we have
undertaken a review to reduce
our own footprint. In both areas we
have defined clear short and long
term metrics for performance.

Our customers recognize that they are
operating in rapidly changing business
environments where considerations of
sustainability, climate change, resource
limitations and social responsibility are of
increasing importance in defining overall
project economics. The green challenges are
numerous and continue to unfold. Some of
these include:
– Rising population
– Stress on the natural world
– Growing resource demands
– Changing climate
– Food and water security
– Greenhouse gas emissions
– Species extinctions
These challenges impact on all businesses and
their operations but are especially salient for
resources & energy. Businesses need to
operate existing facilities more efficiently
and develop new, more resilient solutions to
future developments. As well as challenges,
the rapid change is creating new business
opportunities. WorleyParsons has developed
EcoNomics™ to deliver environmentally,
socially and financially sustainable projects for
our customers.
One of the key characteristics of EcoNomics™
is our capacity to widen the perspective in
the Identify and Select phases of project
development, expanding the decision window
materially in terms of the range of issues,
impacts and timeframes considered.
WorleyParsons’ experts and technologies
accommodate this. EcoNomics™ is underpinned
by robust economic and financial analysis
that reflects all of the wider issues facing
businesses and project delivery, across a broad
timeframe.
EcoNomics™ enables businesses to properly
consider the social, ecological and community
impacts of existing and proposed assets.
As our customers deal with rapidly changing
and variable legislative and regulatory
requirements around the world, overlaid by
requirements and preferences dictated by
their own key stakeholders, compliance
becomes increasingly complex but also
increasingly important.
We believe that the key to long term
profitability for projects is going to depend
increasingly on ensuring that these issues
are considered in the planning phase and
embedded into the substance of the project.
WorleyParsons has developed a suite of
proprietary technologies to assist with
this covering:
– Non-financial risk assessment
– Economic cost benefit analysis
– Sensitivity analysis
EcoNomics™ enables clear focus on the
balance between green and black, augmenting
the alignment between social & environmental
requirements and optimal financial
performance.

Nomics: “The laws of logic and nature”
From the Greek “nomikos” meaning “law”
Nomic is also a game in which the rules may
be changed but this counts as a move.
Our customers have a fundamental
commitment and responsibility to
stakeholders to deliver profitable operation.
Today, they recognize that a number of key
drivers of their cost base are linked to a proper
engagement with sustainability.
These include:
– Increasing energy costs
– Increasing resource costs, especially of water
– Changing legislation worldwide
– Changing community attitudes
– Increased costs and obligations of
environmental and social compliance
– Volatility in markets and politico-economic
conditions in some regions
One of the cornerstones of the long term
success of WorleyParsons has been our
successful approach to partnering with
customers, including in alliances and joint
ventures, enabling appropriate investment
and collaboration in order to solve complex
business problems and create opportunities.
EcoNomics™ is no exception.
Nomics
We launch EcoNomics™ with a very strong
portfolio of services, deep experience around
the world and some important proprietary
technologies. Yet we realize that many of
the solutions and much of the opportunity
will be developed through working with our
customers to provide tailored responses
to unfolding situations.
EcoNomics™ is a careful balance of green
and black. However, it is clear that driving
efficiency, reducing impact and creating
sustainable assets is good for business and
good for the environment. In this sense
green IS black.
WorleyParsons has a substantial, proven track
record of achievement in providing services
and developing technologies to aid energy
efficiency and cleaner asset operation across
the complex process industries. Through
our EcoNomics™ initiative we have brought
together all of our capabilities and have
developed fully integrated teams around
the world targeted towards improving
sustainability and performance.
Through links with leading research
institutions, scientific organizations and
industry groups, we are able to overlay our
internal capabilities with access to emerging
technologies and link to the latest thinking
supporting sustainable developments.
One example of such a link is our sponsorship
of the WorleyParsons lectureship in
Environmental Engineering and Climate
Change at Imperial College, London.
The future for our business will be impacted
deeply by these changes, as it will be for our
customers’. It is our absolute conviction that
these impacts can be positive – creating
opportunities for innovation, efficiency
and improvement in both the financial and
ecological performance of business.
The changes will require new solutions
and new technologies. It is our absolute
conviction that these changes can be positive.
EcoNomics™ delivers on that conviction.

WorleyParsons.
OVERALL GRILL AWARD WINNER AND ASIA REGIONAL AWARD
John Grzan
Based in Singapore, John Grzan has rapidly developed a niche power business. John restructured our high
density battery division, Worley Energy Cells, into a three-part business consisting of purpose-designed
portable energy products, integrated OEM portable energy solutions and a crossover advanced energy
consulting service (Advanced Energy Solutions – AES) tying it back to WorleyParsons’ Power customer
sector group.
His trust in his colleagues
to display the following
characteristics has always been
rewarded – innovative solutions
to problems, strong customer
focus, teamwork, efficiency,
financial acuity and willingness
to contribute to and share in
our customers’ successes.

by the Spinmaster project. This more than quadrupled the revenue base, which will exceed US$8 million,
from a group of seven employees.
CANADA
Paul Bauman
The December 2004 Southeast Asian earthquake
and tsunami destroyed the primary water supply
infrastructure in Aceh Province, Indonesia. Over
200,000 shallow, hand dug wells, which were the
primary water supply, were also salinized and/or
destroyed.
As part of long term reconstruction, WorleyParsons,
led by Paul Bauman, was asked by UNICEF to carry
out a preliminary assessment of groundwater
resources in Aceh. This six month assessment
included importing highly portable drilling rigs,
training local crews, initial test drilling, carrying out
a broad groundwater sampling program, creating
an easily transferable groundwater database and
recommending solutions and actions.
UNITED STATES AND LATIN AMERICA
Santee Cooper Team
Successful projects are usually the result of
the combined talents of a team rather than the
contribution of a single individual. The Cross Santee
Cooper team has a well deserved reputation for
being very passionate about their work.
Their performance on Cross Unit 1, completed
in 1994, assisted WorleyParsons to secure the Unit 3
Project in 2002. Their continued success and “can do”
spirit allowed Santee Cooper to exclusively award
Unit 4 to WorleyParsons. By finding innovative ways
to complete the work they overcame a two-month
delay in the schedule for Cross 3, in spite of major
vendor issues, craft shortages and cement
shortages.

Australia. Tomago and WorleyParsons undertook
a comprehensive program to engage contractors
in the re-examination of all work procedures and
practices at the site. As part of this program a
new initiative called Man Machine Interface was
created. This initiative has been responsible for the
reduction or elimination of more than 300 high risk
activities. The Tomago alliance team has now
achieved two years Lost Time Injury (LTI), free
during a period of potentially high risk project
work and was recently recommended for
OSHAS 18001 certification.

OneWay behavioral based health safety and
environmental management system. Chris’
personal enthusiasm and commitment to the
OneWay initiative has been a significant driver
towards its success.
Alan Snell
Alan Snell has been responsible for a significant step
change in HSE culture and awareness among the

Notes:
1. Frequency rates are in accordance with US OSHA per 200,000 manhours.
2. Calculations are based on WorleyParsons’ employee numbers.
During the year we recognized that although
our Health, Safety and Environmental (HSE)
performance compared favorably with international
best practice, our continued expansion both in
personnel numbers and geographic presence would
make further improvement within our existing HSE
management system a challenge.
In response to this challenge we have embarked on
an exciting new initiative, known as OneWay. This
initiative will enable us to align and consolidate our
global systems and procedures further and work
with our staff, to reinforce a culture that underpins
our goal of industry leadership in HSE performance.
The implementation of OneWay is a long term
strategic objective. Over time the program will be
the catalyst for the continuous improvement to all
of our systems and procedures and the basis for a
reporting and assurance process to demonstrate
we are moving towards our vision of Zero Harm.
The OneWay program contains 12 key elements,
each with a defined set of expectations that span
all facets of our operation.
In the coming months we will progressively engage
employees, contractors and customers to explain
why we are implementing the new framework and
how it benefits both our customers and our staff.
The OneWay initiative will:
– provide global leadership, governance and a
reporting structure
– develop the behavior and culture that commit
to the achievement of Zero Harm
– facilitate the rapid transfer of HSE practice
throughout the organization
– build on the existing business processes within our
Enterprise Management System
– provide a global mechanism for assessment,
feedback and continuous improvement
