Technology supplier Baker Hughes has once again been selected by Bechtel Energy to supply essential liquefaction equipment for liquefaction equipment in the second phase of the Port Arthur LNG Port Arthur LNG project, developed by Sempra Infrastructure in Jefferson County, Texas.

Baker Hughes’ previous experience

With this award, Baker Hughes will provide four Frame 7 gas turbines and eight centrifugal compressors, distributed in two liquefaction trains. This configuration will allow reaching a production capacity of approximately 13 million metric tons per year (MTPA), consolidating Port Arthur as one of the strategic centers for the export of liquefied natural gas. for the export of liquefied natural gas from the United States. from the United States.

In addition to the main supply, the company will integrate two electric compressors for booster functions within the plant. This development builds on the experience gained during Phase 1 of the project, where Baker Hughes has already demonstrated its ability to deliver solutions with high standards of efficiency and operational availability.

Our commitment to energy expansion grows stronger with each new phase of the project.

Ganesh Ramaswamy, executive vice president of Baker Hughes Industrial and Energy Technology, noted.

The company continues to play a crucial role in the evolution of LNG export infrastructure on the Gulf Coast.

Port Arthur LNG grows as a strategic hub

The contract reflects a growing trend of collaboration between engineering firms and technology providers to meet global energy demand through cleaner and more reliable solutions. In this regard, the Frame 7 turbine turbine stands out for its energy efficiency, low environmental impact and ease of maintenance.

The expansion of Port Arthur LNG is part of Sempra Infrastructure’s strategy to strengthen its international energy supply chain and position itself as a key player in the global market for liquefied natural gas .
