Baker Hughes Wins Major Turbomachinery Order
Baker Hughes (NASDAQ: BKR) has been awarded a contract and granted notice to proceed by Venture Global LNG to provide a liquefied natural gas (LNG) system for the first phase of the Plaquemines LNG project in Louisiana.
The highly-efficient liquefaction train system (LTS) supplied by Baker Hughes is modularized, helping to lower construction and operational costs with a “plug and play” approach that enables faster installation. Baker Hughes manufactures, tests and transports the pre-assembled and fully integrated modular turbomachinery units for Venture Global LNG at its state-of-the-art manufacturing and assembly facilities in Italy.
As part of the scope, Baker Hughes will also provide field services to assist in commissioning of the supplied equipment. Today’s order builds on an award in the fourth quarter of 2021 for Baker Hughes to provide power generation and electrical distribution equipment for the comprehensive power island system of Venture Global LNG’s Plaquemines LNG project.
“We are delighted to continue our strong collaboration with Venture Global LNG. The Plaquemines LNG project is another great example of our extensive experience with modular LNG to provide fully integrated compression and power solutions,” said Rod Christie, executive vice president of Turbomachinery & Process Solutions at Baker Hughes. “As an energy technology company, Baker Hughes’ role is to provide the most efficient and lower carbon technology solutions to meet our customers specific needs, and LNG is a critical part of the energy future. We see a new LNG cycle emerging and expect demand will remain robust in the coming years.”
“Baker Hughes has been an outstanding partner to Venture Global and we look forward to building on that parternship as we ramp up construction at Plaquemines LNG,” said Mike Sabel, Venture Global LNG CEO. “I want to thank Lorenzo Simonelli and his team for their execution and delivery at Calcasieu Pass, notwithstanding the challenges of a global pandemic. Together we will continue to innovate and transform the LNG industry, bringing this essential fuel to the global market to meet the world’s growing energy needs.”
