Baker Hughes will supply gas technology equipment for two liquefaction plants with a total capacity of around 11 mill tonnes per annum for phase 1.
The orders mark a significant milestone as Woodside targets a final investment decision (FID) in the first quarter of 2025.
Baker Hughes will be responsible for eight main refrigeration compressors driven by LM6000PF+ gas turbines and eight expander-compressors.
Chart Industries will supply its integrated pre-cooled single mixed refrigerant (IPSMR®) liquefaction technology and cold boxes for phase 1.
The company will provide two LNG plants comprising 16 cold boxes. Each LNG plant includes four heavies removal cold boxes and four LNG liquefaction cold boxes.
