ARLINGTON, Va., Nov. 23, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Venture Global
LNG, Inc. announces that KBR has been awarded the engineering,
procurement and construction (EPC) contract as lead contractor for
Phase 1 of the Plaquemines LNG export project currently under
development in Plaquemines Parish,
Louisiana. KBR will integrate highly modularized,
owner-furnished equipment for the 10 million tonnes per annum
(MTPA) nameplate facility, identical to the systems being
successfully delivered and installed at Venture Global LNG's
Calcasieu Pass project.
Mike Sabel, Executive Co-Chairman
and CEO stated, "KBR has an exceptional record in the LNG
industry, having designed and delivered approximately a third of
the liquefaction capacity worldwide. They recognize that our
innovation of mid-scale, modular trains manufactured in a factory
setting and delivered complete to site is revolutionizing this
industry. Plaquemines LNG will deploy Venture Global's
liquefaction trains 19 through 36, identical to the 18 trains
currently being fabricated and delivered to our Calcasieu Pass LNG
project. This contract with KBR will allow us to bring a second
world-class, mechanically complete LNG production facility to the
market, on our schedule and budget."
Executive Co-Chairman Bob Pender
added, "KBR brings more than a century of global experience to the
Plaquemines LNG project and shares our commitment to on-time,
on-budget execution and the safest possible work environment for
our employees and partners. As we approach the commencement
of early site works for Plaquemines LNG, we are excited to use the
experience gained at Calcasieu Pass – where we are already
connecting our first liquefaction trains – to further improve upon
the successful approach we've developed."
The Plaquemines LNG project has received all required regulatory
approvals and has signed binding 20-year offtake agreements with
PGNiG (2.5 MTPA) and EDF (1 MTPA) for 3.5 MTPA of the project's
capacity.
