Baker Hughes Wins Sabine Pass LNG Train 7 Equipment Awards
Baker Hughes will supply liquefaction equipment, gas turbines and compressors for Sabine Pass LNG Train 7, supporting more than 6 MMtpy of additional LNG production capacity.
(P&GJ) — Baker Hughes has secured equipment and services contracts from Bechtel Energy and Cheniere Energy to support the first phase of the Sabine Pass LNG Expansion Project, including Train 7, a boil-off gas re-liquefaction unit and fleet-wide gas turbine upgrades.
The awards cover the supply of seven PGT25+ G4 gas turbines driving 15 centrifugal compressors for Train 7, adding more than 6 MMtpy of LNG nameplate capacity at the Cameron Parish, Louisiana, export terminal.
Baker Hughes will also provide technology upgrades across Sabine Pass' fleet of installed PGT25+ G4 aeroderivative gas turbines over a four-year period. The upgrades are designed to increase turbine output and improve efficiency across the facility's existing LNG production capacity of approximately 30 MMtpy.
Combined with Train 7 and the boil-off gas re-liquefaction unit, the equipment and upgrades are expected to increase Sabine Pass' LNG capacity by more than 6 MMtpy.
Baker Hughes Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Lorenzo Simonelli said the company will provide both equipment and lifecycle services to support the expansion.
"These comprehensive technology solutions, from advanced liquefaction equipment to lifecycle services, help our customers expand LNG production and meet growing energy demand," Simonelli said.
Cheniere Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer Jack Fusco said the awards continue the companies' long-standing relationship while supporting additional capacity and operational improvements at Sabine Pass.
"These equipment orders, lifecycle services and technology upgrades are critical to facilitate further optimization and efficiency upgrades throughout the Cheniere platform," Fusco said.
Sabine Pass is one of the world's largest LNG export facilities. The Train 7 expansion and related upgrades are intended to improve production efficiency while supporting growing global demand for LNG.
