Baker Hughes to supply liquefaction train equipment for Port Arthur LNG project

Baker Hughes (BKR) announced an award from engineering company Bechtel Energy to supply key liquefaction equipment for Sempra Infrastructure’s (SRE) Port Arthur LNG Phase 2 project in Jefferson County, Texas. Building upon the technology solutions provided for Phase 1, Baker Hughes’ scope for Phase 2 includes four Frame 7 turbines paired with eight centrifugal compressors across two LNG trains, supporting a nameplate capacity of approximately 13 million tonnes per annum. Additionally, Baker Hughes will provide two electric motor-driven compressors for the plant’s booster services. With this project, Sempra Infrastructure is expanding critical new export infrastructure in the U.S. to address ongoing global demand growth for liquefied natural gas.
