LNG

Baker Hughes-GE, the US energy services and equipment company, said it was awarded the contract to supply turbomachinery for the construction of the Golden Pass LNG export facility in Texas following the recent decision by Qatar Petroleum and ExxonMobil to go ahead with the venture.

Baker Hughes-GE, the US energy services company and a main provider of turbomachinery for liquefied natural gas production plants, said the LNG outlook was improving and the company “conservatively” estimates a total of 65 million tonnes per annum of new capacity would be sanctioned by 2020.
