Under the contract, Baker Hughes will build the MRCs for two liquefied natural gas (LNG) mega trains, which will have a combined capacity of 16 million tonnes per annum (mtpa).

These LNG trains are expected to boost Qatar’s LNG production capacity to 126mtpa by 2027.

Baker Hughes chairman and CEO Lorenzo Simonelli said: “We are pleased to be a long-time partner to Qatar, helping to position the country as a leading supplier of LNG and helping to unlock more global capacity.
