ST LNG Selects Baker Hughes for Offshore Texas LNG Project Technology

ST LNG has selected Baker Hughes to supply compression and power technology for its 8.4 MMtpy offshore LNG export project near Texas, advancing toward a final investment decision.

(P&GJ) — ST LNG has selected Baker Hughes to supply gas compression and power generation technology for its proposed 8.4 MMtpy offshore LNG export project near Matagorda, Texas, as the development moves toward a final investment decision.

Under the agreement, Baker Hughes will provide key equipment for the project’s first phase, including two LM6000PF gas turbine-driven centrifugal compressor trains and three NovaLT™16 gas turbine generator packages.

The initial phase is expected to deliver 2.1 MMtpy as part of a planned four-phase development. The project is designed to be located in U.S. federal waters and would represent a new offshore LNG export concept along the Texas Gulf Coast.

“As we advance toward completion of the project’s first phase, selecting proven technology from a reliable partner with deep domain expertise is essential,” said ST LNG CEO Sharad Tak. “Baker Hughes’ extensive experience across LNG projects, including complex offshore environments, provides confidence that the ST LNG facility will achieve first LNG in the second quarter of 2030. Their ability to deliver a comprehensive equipment solution, combined with their commitment to supporting project development, is a key enabler in advancing our deepwater LNG port.”

"Our LNG solutions portfolio is designed to support a wide range of operational requirements, from large-scale onshore facilities to specialized offshore applications such as ST LNG’s,” said Baker Hughes Chairman and CEO Lorenzo Simonelli. “We look forward to working closely with ST LNG to deliver reliable, efficient and lower-carbon solutions.”

The selection marks a key step as the project advances toward FID, with Baker Hughes expected to book orders tied to the development as it progresses.
