McDermott Join Forces to Increase LNG Output
London, September 08, 2025, (Oilandgaspress) –––Monkey Island LNG has awarded McDermott a Master Services Agreement (MSA) to provide front-end engineering and planning services for its planned world-scale natural gas liquefaction facility in Cameron Parish, Louisiana.
Phase 1 of the Monkey Island LNG facility includes three LNG trains with a capacity of 5.2 million metric tons per annum (MTPA) each and a combined production of 15.6 MTPA. Expansion plans include two additional LNG trains, projected to bring total capacity to 26 MTPA.
This announcement builds on Monkey Island LNG’s selection of the ConocoPhillips Optimized Cascade® Process. McDermott’s compact, modular LNG train design contributes to delivery of up to 60% more LNG per acre than comparable projects.
“By leveraging LNG mega-modules, we dramatically reduce the site footprint required for world-scale LNG production, which drives down project costs and risks,” said Greg Michaels, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Monkey Island LNG. “The project represents a $25 billion investment across two phases, positioning it among the largest private energy infrastructure developments in North America and designed to maximize LNG production with fewer acres.”
Under the MSA, McDermott will provide engineering, execution planning, and pricing for the facility’s engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) phase. The agreement is expected to transition into a final EPC contract aligned with the timing of Monkey Island LNG’s financing activities.
