Lake Charles LNG has selected KTJV, the joint venture between Technip Energies and KBR, for the engineering, procurement, fabrication and construction of an LNG export terminal project on the Gulf Coast, the company announced in a Sept. 20 press release.

The project, which remains subject to Lake Charles LNG making a final investment decision (FID), will convert the existing Lake Charles LNG import and regasification terminal into a 16.45 million tonnes per annum (mtpa) liquefaction export terminal.

The export facility project will include three 5.5 mtpa modular LNG trains; brownfield modification to LNG storage; and procurement, transportation, fabrication, installation, commissioning and startup of the terminal.

“This conversion will play a critical role in expanding the global energy supply. By providing the necessary infrastructure, we will support our client’s ambition of transporting and distributing LNG around the world,” Arnaud Pieton, CEO of Technip Energies, said in the press release.

Making FID on the project will be based on securing enough commercial offtake agreements and third-party equity.

The contract award represents above 1 billion euros of revenue for Technip Energies.
