US engineering company, Baker Hughes has won an order from Bechtel Energy to supply gas equipment for two liquefaction plants with a total capacity of around 11 mill tonnes per annum for Phase 1 of Woodside’s Louisiana LNG development project, formerly Diftwood.
This order marks a significant milestone as Woodside targets final investment decision (FID) readiness from the first quarter of 2025, Baker Hughes said.
The contract includes the delivery of eight main refrigeration compressors driven by LM6000PF+ gas turbines and eight expander-compressors.
Baker Hughes had previously been chosen to supply Woodside with electric-powered integrated compressor line (ICL) packages and other turbo-machinery equipment for the associated pipeline to serve the LNG export terminal.
In addition, Chart Industries received the order from Bechtel to supply integrated pre-cooled single mixed refrigerant (IPSMR®) liquefaction technology and cold boxes for the Louisiana LNG project.
Under the the contract terms, Chart will provide two LNG plants comprising 16 cold boxes. Each LNG plant includes four heavies removal cold boxes and four LNG liquefaction cold boxes.
