Baker Hughes to Supply Compressors for Sempra's Port Arthur LNG Phase 1 Project

Baker Hughes announced today it has been awarded an order by Bechtel to supply two Main Refrigerant Compressors (MRCs) for Sempra Infrastructure's Port Arthur LNG Phase 1 project in Jefferson County, Texas.  Sempra announced a positive Final Investment Decision for Port Arthur LNG Phase 1 on March 20th. Baker Hughes noted the company will supply four Frame 7 turbines paired with eight centrifugal compressors across two LNG trains, as well as two electric motor-driven compressors for the plant's boosting services, for a nameplate capacity of around 13 MTPA.  The compressors' manufacturing will take place at Baker Hughes' facilities in Italy, and the expected commercial operation dates for Port Arthur LNG Phase 1 Train 1 and Train 2 are 2027 and 2028, respectively.

Baker Hughes' Chairman and CEO, Lorenzo Simonelli, said, "We are delighted to be working with Bechtel and Sempra Infrastructure to supply critical equipment for this innovative LNG project." He further added that the project builds on their track record of delivering high-availability and reliable LNG technology, with low total cost of operations, enabling increased exports of LNG from the U.S. Gulf Coast to meet global energy needs.
