Baker Hughes to Support Sempra Infrastructure’s Port Arthur LNG Phase 2 Project

Baker Hughes, an energy technology company, announced an award from engineering company Bechtel Energy Inc. (Bechtel) to supply key liquefaction equipment for Sempra Infrastructure’s Port Arthur LNG Phase 2 project in Jefferson County, Texas.

Building upon the technology solutions provided for Phase 1, Baker Hughes’ scope for Phase 2 includes four Frame 7 turbines paired with eight centrifugal compressors across two LNG trains, supporting a nameplate capacity of approximately 13 million tonnes per annum (MTPA). Additionally, Baker Hughes will provide two electric motor-driven compressors for the plant’s booster services. With this project, Sempra Infrastructure is expanding critical new export infrastructure in the U.S. to address ongoing global demand growth for liquefied natural gas (LNG).

Baker Hughes’ proven gas technology solutions in Port Arthur LNG Phases 1 and 2 provide Sempra Infrastructure with optimum production levels consistent with each plant's design, as well as operational flexibility, high availability, and a lower emission footprint. The Frame 7 gas turbine is recognized for its energy efficiency, reliability and maintainability.
