Global energy company Baker Hughes will supply a modularised liquefied natural gas (LNG) system to support the expansion of Venture Global’s 28 million tonnes per annum (mtpa) Plaquemines LNG facility in Louisiana, US.
This builds on Baker Hughes a liquefaction technology order for Venture Global’s CP2 LNG expansion in July.
Baker Hughes will supply eight single mixed-refrigerant (SMR) liquefaction modules to form a total of four liquefaction blocks, as Venture Global aims to build up over 30 mtpa of LNG production capacity.
Each block will have two liquefaction modules, compression trains with advanced centrifugal compressor technology, in addition to cold boxes, air coolers and integrated control systems.
Separately, it has secured a second order to supply 13 gas compression systems driven by Frame 5/2E gas turbines for the Cloud Connector Pipeline project, expanding the fleet to 23 Frame 5/2E-driven gas compression systems.
The project will provide feedgas to the Plaquemines facility, and, according to Baker Hughes, the deal represents one of the largest deployments for LNG feed gas transportation in the US.
Mike Sabel, CEO of Venture Global, said the deal would ensure the company has the necessary feed gas transportation to carry out the project.
Baker Hughes is a supplier across 100 mtpa of Venture Global’s existing and planned production capacity.
Venture Global for the Plaquemines LNG facility expansion with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) in November 2025.
Commercial operations are targeted for Q4 2026, with phase two expected to begin in mid-2027.
