NextDecade (NEXT) and Baker Hughes (BKR) announced an agreement for BKR to supply gas turbine and refrigerant compression for NextDecade’s Trains 4 through 8 at Rio Grande LNG.

Baker Hughes was also contracted to maintain the equipment at Rio Grande. NextDecade is working toward a final investment decision on Trains 4 and 5 at the Brownsville, Texas, facility. The company is developing the remaining trains and said in February it had started the permitting process for an expansion.

Financial terms were not disclosed as the orders are still being determined, according to a March 11 press release.

Rio Grande LNG’s Trains 1 through 3 are under construction, with LNG production expected by 2027.

“Utilizing Baker Hughes’ industry-leading rotating equipment and their maintenance services is critical to ensuring the Rio Grande LNG Facility operates efficiently and reliably,” Matt Schatzman, chairman and CEO of NextDecade, said in the press release.
