en.Wedoany.com Reported - Baker Hughes has received equipment and service orders for the Sabine Pass LNG terminal owned by Cheniere Energy Partners in the United States, including the supply of liquefaction equipment and full-plant gas turbine technology upgrades, which are expected to add over 6 million tons per year of LNG production capacity at the terminal.

These orders were signed in the second quarter and include orders from EPC contractors Bechtel and Cheniere for the supply of liquefaction equipment for Train 7 and boil-off gas (BOG) re-liquefaction units, as well as full-plant gas turbine technology upgrades.

The equipment order for Phase 1 of the Sabine Pass expansion project includes seven PGT25+ G4 gas turbines driving 15 centrifugal compressors, enabling approximately 6 million tons per year of additional LNG production capacity.

Baker Hughes will also upgrade all installed aeroderivative PGT25+ G4 gas turbines at the Sabine Pass plant over four years. These upgrades will help increase the power output of the gas turbines, enhance LNG production capacity, and thereby improve the efficiency of the plant's current capacity of approximately 30 million tons per year.

The aforementioned upgrades, along with Train 7 and the boil-off gas (BOG) re-liquefaction units, are expected to add over 6 million tons per year of capacity at Sabine Pass.

Baker Hughes stated that the expansion and upgrade of the Sabine Pass LNG terminal support the growing demand for natural gas in global energy and industrial applications, helping to provide affordable energy supply. The company did not disclose contract price details.

In May, a subsidiary of Cheniere Energy Partners signed a lump-sum turnkey engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) contract with Bechtel for Phase 1 of the Sabine Pass LNG expansion project in Louisiana. Bechtel has received limited notice to proceed to begin early engineering and procurement work on the project. The EPC contract is valued at $4.69 billion.
