Baker Hughes secures order for Rio Grande LNG (U.S.) expansion
- Award from Bechtel includes supply of the main liquefaction equipment, comprising gas turbine and compressor technology for NextDecade’s Rio Grande LNG Train 4
- Technology replicates proven solutions for the project’s first three trains, supporting an additional LNG production capacity of approximately 6 MTPA at the facility
Baker Hughes announced an award from engineering company Bechtel Energy Inc. to supply main liquefaction equipment for Train 4 of NextDecade’s Rio Grande LNG Facility in the Port of Brownsville, Texas.
The award builds on a previously announced framework agreement for Baker Hughes’ gas turbine and refrigerant compressor technology and contractual services agreements for Trains 4 through 8.
Replicating the technology solutions provided for the first three LNG trains, the Train 4 order includes two Frame 7 gas turbines, known for their proven reliability and energy efficiency, and six centrifugal compressors. These advanced solutions deliver efficiency and lower emissions, supporting an additional LNG capacity of approximately 6 MTPA at the facility and enabling sustainable energy development.
"Our selection of Baker Hughes again for the Rio Grande LNG project is a testament to its reliable technology and expertise," said Bhupesh Thakkar, Bechtel’s general manager for its LNG business. "Their equipment has consistently supported the successful development of this critical infrastructure, and we look forward to their continued contribution to the project expansion."
“We are proud to continue our collaboration with Bechtel and NextDecade on the Rio Grande LNG project, a cornerstone of global energy security, affordability and sustainability,” said Ganesh Ramaswamy, executive vice president of Industrial & Energy Technology at Baker Hughes. “This order reinforces confidence in our proven technology and services to deliver reliable and efficient LNG operations. We look forward to supporting the successful execution of this phase of the project and helping drive sustainable energy development.”
