Baker Hughes has announced an order from Bechtel Energy, to supply gas technology equipment for two liquefaction plants with a total capacity of approximately 11 million tonnes per annum (mtpa) for Phase 1 of Woodside Energy’s Louisiana LNG development opportunity, in the USA.
The order marks a significant milestone as Woodside targets final investment decision (FID) readiness from the first quarter of 2025. The award, which includes eight main refrigeration compressors driven by LM6000PF+ gas turbines and eight expander-compressors, leverages Baker Hughes’ proven, best-in-class LNG technologies to support Bechtel and Woodside.
Paul Marsden, president of Bechtel Energy says: ‘Louisiana LNG will play a vital role in meeting the world’s increasing LNG demand. Bechtel is proud to collaborate with Baker Hughes to help deliver this critical project.’
Ganesh Ramaswamy, executive vice president of industrial and energy technology at Baker Hughes, adds: ‘We are committed to providing our proven technology to ensure the LNG industry stands ready to meet rapidly growing energy demand. Building on our 40-year track record in LNG and established collaboration with both Bechtel and Woodside, we look forward to supporting this important project and contributing to sustainable energy development.’
In addition to this award, Baker Hughes was previously selected to supply Woodside electric-powered Integrated Compressor Line (ICL) packages and other turbomachinery equipment for the associated pipeline serving the LNG export terminal.
