LNG

Sempra Energy chose Franco-US engineering group TechnipFMC and US company Kiewit as the engineering, procurement, construction contractors for transforming the California utility’s LNG import terminal at Costa Azul in northern Mexico into a medium-scale export plant.

The US expects rising natural gas production will support the forecast surge in LNG and pipeline exports in next 12 months as well as re-establishing storage levels after the smallest April injections for inventories since 1983.
