Baker Hughes has secured a contract to supply gas technology equipment for two liquefaction plants with a total capacity of about 11 million tons per annum (mtpa) for Phase 1 of Woodside Louisiana LNG development project.  

Awarded by Bechtel, the contract includes the supply of eight main refrigeration compressors powered by LM6000PF+ gas turbines and eight expander-compressors.

“We are committed to providing our proven technology to ensure the LNG industry stands ready to meet rapidly growing energy demand,” said Ganesh Ramaswamy, executive vice president of Industrial & Energy Technology at Baker Hughes.

This project is anticipated to have a total capacity of 27.6 mtpa. It is expected to reach a final investment decision (FID) in the first quarter of 2025.

“Louisiana LNG will play a vital role in meeting the world’s increasing LNG demand,” said Paul Marsden, president of Bechtel Energy. “Bechtel is proud to collaborate with Baker Hughes to help deliver this critical project.”

Ramaswamy added, “Building on our 40-year track record in LNG and established collaboration with both Bechtel and Woodside, we look forward to supporting this important project and contributing to sustainable energy development.”

Besides this award, Baker Hughes was previously selected to supply Woodside electric-powered Integrated Compressor Line (ICL) packages and other turbomachinery equipment for the associated pipeline serving the LNG export terminal.
