Venture Global LNG Inc., Arlington, Va., will expand the scope of its LNG development business to 60 million tonnes/year based on customer demand, expanding its 2016 process equipment supply agreement with Baker Hughes.
The agreement provides for the supply of modular liquefaction trains plus power generation and electrical distribution equipment that will be standardized across Venture Global's Calcasieu Pass, Plaquemines LNG, and other expansion projects.
The 10 million-tonne/year Calcasieu Pass project has received all federal authorizations and the project’s EPC contractor, Kiewit Construction Co., plans to begin site activities soon (OGJ Online, Mar. 6, 2019). Under 20-year agreements with Shell, BP, Edison SPA, Galp, Repsol, and PGNiG, Calcasieu Pass will begin delivering US gas to the global market in 2022.
The 20-million tonne/year Plaquemines LNG project is expected to receive its final authorization from the US Federal Energy Regulatory Commission in August and start construction this year.
