German engineering company Siemens has won a contract to supply three boil-off compressor (BOG) packages for liquefied natural gas (LNG) producer Venture Global’s Calcasieu Pass LNG Project in the US.

Currently under construction, the Calcasieu Pass LNG project is located in south-western Louisiana’s Cameron Parish. It is approximately 50 miles south of Lake Charles.

Once operational, the LNG export facility is expected to produce ten million tonnes per annum (Mtpa) of clean energy, which would be exported to markets worldwide.

Under the contract, Siemens will be responsible for engineering, manufacturing and testing of two centrifugal BOG compression packages and one reciprocating BOG compression package.

According to the company, all the compressors will be directly powered by electric motors.

Siemens LNG executive vice-president Matthew Russell said: “Siemens has a long track record of providing cryogenic boil-off gas compressors for the LNG industry worldwide.

“The Calcasieu Pass LNG Project involves an innovative modular, mid-scale configuration that enables Venture Global to produce low-cost LNG with a shorter construction schedule.

“Siemens was able to tailor a custom solution with added flexibility to match the EPC’s project schedule and start-up sequence.”

The LNG project is implemented by Venture Global’s subsidiary Venture Global Calcasieu Pass.

Kiewit secured a contract related to engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) management services for the project. The company chose Siemens with respect to the balance of plant scope.

Siemens noted that site construction is currently in progress and compression trains are anticipated to be shipped this year.

Last May, Siemens secured a contract to supply three residue compression trains for two 250 million standard cubic feet per day cryogenic gas plants in the Delaware Basin.
