NextDecade has let an engineering, procurement, and construction contract to Bechtel for Phase 1 of the 27 million-tonne/year Rio Grande LNG plant at the Port of Brownsville in South Texas (OGJ Online, Sept. 5, 2018).
The project will consist of three liquefication trains, two 180,000-cu m storage tanks, and two marine berths.
There is an opportunity to build an additional storage tank and LNG truck loading facilities.
NextDecade anticipates making a positive final investment decision on Phase 1 by the end of this year’s third quarter.
