ST LNG advances offshore export terminal plans
ST LNG has selected core technology for the first phase of its proposed offshore LNG export terminal near Matagorda, Texas
ST LNG has selected a technology provider for the first phase of its proposed offshore LNG export terminal near Matagorda, Texas.
The agreement covers gas compression, power generation equipment and project development support for the proposed 8.4M tonnes per annum (mta) terminal.
The project scope includes two LM6000PF gas turbine-driven centrifugal compressor trains and three NovaLT16 gas turbine generator packages.
Baker Hughes said the equipment would secure the necessary production capacity for phase one of the project, which is expected to deliver 2.1 mta as part of a planned four-phase development.
ST LNG chief executive Sharad Tak said, “As we advance toward completion of the project’s first phase, selecting proven technology from a reliable partner with deep domain expertise is essential.”
He added that the supplier’s experience in LNG projects, including offshore environments, gave ST LNG confidence “that the ST LNG facility will achieve first LNG in Q2 2030.”
Baker Hughes chairman and chief executive Lorenzo Simonelli said the company’s LNG solutions portfolio was designed to support “a wide range of operational requirements, from large-scale onshore facilities to specialised offshore applications such as ST LNG’s”.
He said the company looked forward to working with ST LNG to deliver “reliable, efficient and lower-carbon solutions.”
The facility would be located in US federal waters, and the selection is described as a step forward as the project moves toward a final investment decision.
The proposed development consists of up to four liquefaction units installed on fixed platforms, each with a nominal capacity of 2.1 mta, for a total planned capacity of 8.4 mta.
Initial production from the first phase is targeted for mid-2030.
