Energy technology firm Baker Hughes has won three contracts relating to Cheniere’s Sabine Pass LNG facility in Cameron Parish, Louisiana.
The awards, booked in Q2, comprise orders from and Cheniere to supply liquefaction equipment for Train 7 and for a boil-off gas re-liquefaction unit, as well as an award for fleet-wide gas turbine technology upgrades.
The equipment orders for Phase 1 of the Sabine Pass expansion project include seven PGT25+ G4 gas turbines driving 15 centrifugal compressors, enabling approximately 6 million tons per annum of additional LNG production capacity.
Additionally, Baker Hughes will deliver upgrades across the entire fleet of installed aeroderivative PGT25+ G4 gas turbines at the Sabine Pass facility over a four-year period.
These upgrades will help to increase the power output of the turbines to enhance LNG production capabilities, helping deliver efficiency across the facility’s current approximate 30 mtpa capacity.
Together with Train 7 and the boil-off gas re-liquefaction unit, they are expected to add over 6 mtpa of capacity at Sabine Pass.
The expansion and upgrade of the Sabine Pass LNG terminal support growing global demand for natural gas in energy and industrial applications, helping to deliver affordable energy supply.
Lorenzo Simonelli, Baker Hughes Chairman and CEO, said the technology solutions, from advanced liquefaction equipment to lifecycle services, help customers expand LNG production and meet growing energy demand.
Jack Fusco, Cheniere Chairman, President and CEO, said the contracts build on “decades-long collaboration” with Baker Hughes and the equipment orders, lifecycle services and technology upgrades are critical to facilitate further optimisation and efficiency upgrades throughout the Cheniere platform.
