Argent LNG has selected GTT onshore tank technology to develop its state-of-the-art liquefaction facility at Port Fourchon, Louisiana, USA. Argent LNG’s phased development at the Greenfield site in Port Fourchon will include advanced liquefaction trains designed to meet global energy demands with high efficiency and low carbon intensity.

GTT, a technology and engineering group with expertise in the design and development of cryogenic membrane containment systems for use in the transport and storage of liquefied gases, will provide its cutting-edge membrane technology for LNG storage tanks, ensuring optimal performance, safety, and reliability due to its simplified modular technology, which relies on pre-fabricated containment elements to achieve optimum thermal cycle performance and facilitate construction, operation and maintenance.

Jonathan Bass, CEO of Argent LNG, says: ‘We are thrilled to partner with GTT, a company with unparalleled expertise in LNG storage technology. This collaboration is crucial for our mission to develop a world-class LNG facility that not only meets but exceeds industry expectations in terms of efficiency and sustainability. GTT delivers end to end solutions from storage to transportation.’

David Colson, Commercial Vice President of GTT, adds: ‘We are delighted to work with Argent LNG on this significant project. Our advanced membrane technologies will be key in ensuring the facility’s success and supporting the broader goal of providing cleaner energy solutions globally.’

The integration of GTT’s technology will help Argent LNG minimise its environmental footprint through efficient storage solutions that reduce methane emissions, carbon footprint, and energy consumption. Additionally, the project will contribute to local economic growth by creating jobs and supporting the regional energy infrastructure. As the project advances, Argent LNG will continue to explore innovative solutions with GTT to further enhance the facility’s capabilities. To date, the project is still awaiting a Final Investment Decision (FID) and is targeting start-up in 2030.
