Baker Hughes will supply critical gas compression, power generation equipment, and project development support to ST LNG’s proposed LNG export terminal offshore Texas.
As part of the agreement Baker Hughes will provide two LM6000PF gas turbine-driven centrifugal compressor trains and three NovaLT16 gas turbine generator packages to secure the necessary production capacity for the first phase of the project.
The project is expected to deliver 2.1 million tonnes per annum (MTPA) as part of a planned four-phase development which will provide 8.4MTPA once complete.
ST LNG CEO, 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. Baker Hughes’ extensive experience across LNG projects, including complex offshore environments, provides confidence that the ST LNG facility will achieve first LNG in the second quarter of 2030. Their ability to deliver a comprehensive equipment solution, combined with their commitment to supporting project development, is a key enabler in advancing our deepwater LNG port.”
Baker Hughes’ Chairman and CEO, Lorenzo Simonelli, commented, “Our LNG solutions portfolio is designed to support a wide range of operational requirements, from large-scale onshore facilities to specialized offshore applications such as ST LNG’s. We look forward to working closely with ST LNG to deliver reliable, efficient and lower-carbon solutions.”
