Baker Hughes has been awarded a major contract, to be booked in the third quarter of 2023, to provide a modularized liquefied natural gas (LNG) system and power island. The contract was awarded under a master equipment supply agreement between Venture Global LNG and Baker Hughes for more than 100 million tons per annum (MMtpa) of production capacity, which was expanded from 70 MMtpa and recently announced during Gastech in Singapore.
The award builds on previous ones from Venture Global to Baker Hughes to provide comprehensive LNG technology solutions for the Calcasieu Pass and Plaquemines LNG projects in Louisiana.
“We have been a trusted partner in natural gas operations for more than 30 years and have been able to bring that depth of experience into the recent LNG market upturn. This further expansion of our collaboration with Venture Global reaffirms that Baker Hughes technologies are advancing the efficient use of natural gas,” said Lorenzo Simonelli, chairman and CEO of Baker Hughes. “The continuing demand for LNG emphasizes the pivotal role that natural gas will play in the energy transition, helping to secure supply and to reach net-zero emissions.”
“To enable a successful transition to more secure and sustainable economies, it is critical that we continue to further our mission of delivering low-cost LNG at a larger scale. We are grateful for our continued partnership with Baker Hughes, a world leader in energy technology, and look forward to building on our successful collaboration in our upcoming projects,” said Mike Sabel, CEO of Venture Global.
