Baker Hughes, a GE company (NYSE: BHGE) will supply turbomachinery
equipment for the expansion of Cheniere’s LNG facility in Corpus
Christi, Texas. Cheniere announced a positive Final Investment Decision
(FID) and the plan to issue a full notice to proceed to continue
construction on the third liquefaction train at Cheniere’s Corpus
Christi liquefaction project (CCL Project). According to the
company, this represents the first FID on new liquefaction capacity in
the United States since 2015.
When all three trains are completed, the aggregate nominal production
capacity of the CCL Project is expected to be approximately 13.5 MTPA of
LNG. Cheniere appointed Bechtel as their Engineering, Procurement and
Construction (EPC) partner for the project, and Bechtel Oil, Gas &
Chemicals, Inc. (Bechtel) contracted BHGE to provide turbomachinery
equipment for the third train consisting of six PGT25+G4 DLE gas
turbines driving various compressors. BHGE has provided the same
equipment for two other trains already under construction at Corpus
Christi, and similar technology for five trains at Cheniere’s Sabine
Pass plant.
The Corpus Christi site is located on the La Quinta Channel on the
northeast side of Corpus Christi Bay in San Patricio County, Texas.
“This is the fifth order for similar equipment for Cheniere Energy
through Bechtel, and an important one as it is the first FID on new
liquification in the U.S. since 2015,” said Rod Christie, president and
CEO, Turbomachinery & Process Solutions, BHGE. “Our technology provides
the necessary refrigeration gas needed to chill the natural gas into
liquid form for transportation. This award builds on the unparalleled
technology experience and partnership established between Cheniere,
Bechtel and BHGE.”
This agreement expands BHGE’s global footprint by bringing engineering,
manufacturing and project management from Evendale, Ohio; Houston, Texas
and Florence, Italy.
