Bechtel received a warning to proceed from Cheniere Energy Inc. For the next phase of expansion of its Liquefied natural gas export terminal in Corpus Christi, Texas. The project calls for the construction of two half -scale GNL production trains with a long -awaited combined settlement capacity of more than 3 million metric tons a year.
Cheniere also said he approved the final investment decision for expansion, which cost $ 2.9 billion. It is expected that the completion of new systems will provide the global production of the installation to more than 30 million metric tonnes by 2030.
Bechtel will also identify Debottleneck opportunities and optimize existing infrastructure to further increase global production capacity. “Half -scale train design allows more flexible modular additions to the existing infrastructure, which Cheniere has favored in the latest brownfield developments,” said the owner.
The contractor has participated in the liquidation installation of 1,000 hectares of Cheniere, based on Houston, in Corpus Christi since 2013, when it was used for the two initial stages of the plant under the contracts EPC from hand to hand for $ 9.5 billion. This work included the design and construction of three GNL trains, containment tanks and two journeys of transport vessels to the site of the plant, located next to the La Quinta nave channel.
Cheniere also said that design and construction has begun for more than $ 8 million in coastal protection projects on the plant, where the first settlement train began to produce LNG last December. Deliveries to bullring abroad will begin by 2026. Earlier this year, Bechtel succeeded in a substantial completion of the third stage of the installation, which added four production trains for a total of 10 million metric tons a year.
Cheniere said that the Corpus Christi plant is the foundation of an LNG infrastructure platform, which, combined with the expansions of liquidation capacity at its Sabine Pass GNL plant in Louisiana, would finally provide a total of 75 million metric tons a year over the next decade. The total investment of the site, including the previous stages, is expected to exceed $ 25 billion, the company said.
