Venture Global LNG Inc. has taken delivery of the first two 0.6-million tonne/year (tpy) liquefaction trains at its 10-million tpy Calcasieu Pass LNG plant in Cameron Parish, La. Each train—the first two of 18—is positioned on its foundation. The trains will now be connected to their respective brazed aluminum heat exchangers, eight of which are already installed on site (OGJ Online, June 19, 2020).
Delivery from Baker Hughes’s manufacturing assembly and fabrication site in Avenza, Italy, occurred less than 15 months after the project’s final investment decision and more than 2 months ahead of the contractual delivery date. Venture Global expects to complete construction in 2022.
Gas for the Calcasieu Pass plant will be delivered from the Texas Eastern pipeline by Enbridge Inc.’s Cameron Extension project.
Venture Global also plans to use 36 of the modular trains at its Plaquemines LNG plant.
