When all three trains are completed, the aggregate nominal production capacity of the CCL Project is expected to be approximately 13.5 MTPA of LNG. Cheniere appointed Bechtel as their Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) partner for the project, and Bechtel Oil, Gas & Chemicals, Inc. (Bechtel) contracted BHGE to provide turbomachinery equipment for the third train consisting of six PGT25+G4 DLE gas turbines driving various compressors. BHGE has provided the same equipment for two other trains already under construction at Corpus Christi, and similar technology for five trains at Cheniere’s Sabine Pass plant.
