Australian engineering firm Worley has partnered with US energy technology company Baker Hughes to develop and integrate lower‑carbon liquefied natural gas (LNG) infrastructure.
A signed memorandum of understanding (MoU) sets out a non-exclusive framework for joint engagement in LNG project development and execution.
To support global decarbonisation efforts, the partnership will combine Worley’s engineering, procurement, construction management (EPCM) and installation capabilities with Baker Hughes’ advanced turbomachinery and modular liquefaction technologies.
Chris Ashton, CEO at Worley, said the partnership is intended to support the delivery of LNG projects across the value chain, including the global energy transition.
The company aims to deploy Baker Hughes technology in onshore and near-shore projects to reduce operational costs and de-risk project development.
Baker Hughes technology includes turbines, compressors, electric motors and its proprietary modular LNG solutions.
In April, Baker Hughes received a from QatarEnergy for the main refrigerant compressor train and power generation packages across two LNG mega trains for the North Field West project in the Persian Gulf.
In the same month, Worley signed an engineering contract to provide front-end engineering and design (FEED) services for the of chemical company Dow’s flagship blue hydrogen-based chemicals complex in Fort Saskatchewan, Alberta, Canada.
This new strategic partnership aims to support global LNG infrastructure development, driven by energy security and industrial demand, while aiming to reduce emissions intensity in LNG production.
