US LNG equipment maker Chart has secured a contract from compatriot engineering company Bechtel to supply its equipment for Sempra Infrastructure’s Port Arthur LNG Phase 2 project in Texas.
Under the agreement, which was secured in the third quarter of this year, Chart will supply air-cooled heat exchangers, brazed aluminum heat exchangers, and cold boxes.
Chart noted in a statement that it previously supplied equipment for Port Arthur LNG Phase 1.
The firm, which is being acquired by Baker Hughes, did not provide the pricing details of the contract.
Baker Hughes also recently secured a contract from Bechtel to supply main liquefaction equipment for Sempra Infrastructure’s Port Arthur LNG Phase 2 project.
Baker Hughes’ scope for the second phase 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.
Last month, Sempra Infrastructure took a final investment decision on the second phase of the Port Arthur LNG project.
Moreover, Sempra agreed to sell a 45 percent equity interest in Sempra Infrastructure to KKR and Canada Pension Plan Investment Board.
Including the first 13 mtpa phase, for which Sempra Infrastructure took FID in March 2023, the facility will have a total capacity of about 26 mtpa.
