Venture Global Calcasieu Pass Arrival of Fabricated Liquefaction Trains

Venture Global LNG announced today the arrival of the first two liquefaction trains at the company’s Calcasieu Pass LNG export facility in Cameron Parish, Louisiana.

The two modular liquefaction trains and mixed refrigerant compressor skids were shipped to Louisiana from Baker Hughes’s manufacturing facility in Avenza, Italy ahead of the contractual delivery date. Each train was transported onto the Calcasieu Pass site and positioned on its foundations in less than a day. 

Mike Sabel, Executive Co-Chairman and CEO stated, “Venture Global LNG is proud to demonstrate continued execution of the strategy we pioneered. Our factory-fabricated, modular liquefaction trains enable us to deliver the fastest construction schedule in the LNG industry while driving dramatic risk reductions across the entire project. We look forward to the successful delivery of Calcasieu Pass trains 3 through 18 and then 36 identical trains for Plaquemines LNG.”

The delivery of the 0.6 MTPA LNG trains was less than 15 months after the project’s final investment decision.  The project plans call for eighteen of the 0.6 MTPA liquefaction trains to be configured in 9 blocks.
