Baker (BKR) Secures Contract for Port Arthur Phase I Project
Read MoreHide Full Article
Baker Hughes (BKR - Free Report) recently stated that it has secured an order from Bechtel to provide two Main Refrigerant Compressors for Sempra Infrastructure's (SRE) Port Arthur LNG Phase I project in Texas, following the positive final investment decision announced on Mar 20.
Sempra aims to provide critical new export infrastructure in the United States through the Port Arthur liquefied natural gas (LNG) Phase I project, which will aid in meeting the country's rising demand for LNG.
For a nameplate capacity of roughly 13 million tons per annum, Baker Hughes will provide four Frame 7 engines and eight centrifugal compressors across two LNG trains, as well as two electric motor driven compressors for the plant's boosting services.
According to Lorenzo Simonelli, the chairman and chief executive officer of Baker Hughes, the company has been committed to LNG for over 30 years and the announcement builds on its history of providing high-availability and reliable LNG technology at low total cost of operations. This further enabled increased LNG exports from the U.S. Gulf Coast to meet global energy needs.
For Port Arthur LNG Phase I, Baker Hughes' proven gas technology solution offers Sempra Infrastructure the highest production levels feasible, given the plant's design, operating flexibility, high availability and reduced emissions. At Baker Hughes' facilities in Italy, the turbine/compressor will be packaged along with the compressors' production and train testing. The anticipated commercial operation dates for Trains 1 and 2 of Port Arthur LNG Phase I are 2027 and 2028, respectively.
