McDermott and Chiyoda produce first LNG at Cameron Train-2

US engineering company McDermott and Japanese firm Chiyoda in late December announced the Cameron liquefaction plant on the Calcasieu Ship Channel had begun producing LNG. McDermontt stressed this step is “a precursor to substantial completion of Train 2.” “This accomplishment is attributable to the entire team's unwavering commitment to project delivery and steadfast focus on safety and quality performance as we work towards completion of Train 2,” said Mark Coscio, McDermott's Senior Vice President for North, Central and South America. McDermott and Chiyoda have provided the engineering, procurement and construction for the Cameron LNG project since the project's initial award in 2014. The project includes three liquefaction Trains with a projected export of 12 million tonnes per annum (mtpa) of LNG, or about 1.7 billion cubic feet per day (bcf/d). Cameron LNG is jointly owned by affiliates of Sempra Energy, Total, Mitsui & Co. and Japan LNG Investment, a company jointly held by Mitsubishiand shipping line Nippon Yusen Kabushiki Kaisha.
