The North LNG Tank

Venture Global has announced it has completed the raising of the second liquefied natural gas (LNG) storage tank roof at its Calcasieu Pass LNG export facility in Louisiana, US.

The Calcasieu Pass LNG export facility is located in Cameron Parish, Louisiana, and is being developed by Venture Global LNG subsidiary Venture Global Calcasieu Pass.

Venture Global noted that the 1.8 million pound tank dome and assembly were air raised to allow better and safer access, as well as for a faster construction schedule.

This happened less than a month after the raising of the first LNG tank roof last month.

McDermott International division CB&I Storage Tank Solutions is constructing the LNG project’s dual 200,000m³ tanks. The dome of the tank was raised in 80 minutes using pressure of 0.25psi.

Venture Global said that the major components of the gas insulated switchgear (GIS) have been installed on time at the site.

Equipment necessary for the project’s 720MW combined cycle gas turbine power plant have now arrived at the site.

The site has also started receiving and setting modules for the air cooled condenser (ACC).

The ten million tonnes per annum (Mtpa) Calcasieu Pass LNG project deploys a process solution from Baker Hughes that utilises mid-scale, modular liquefaction trains. These LNG trains are factory-fabricated in Italy.

Last August, Venture Global awarded a contract to Baker Hughes to provide this comprehensive LNG technology solution for the Calcasieu Pass project.

Last month, Baker Hughes successfully completed a string test of a mixed refrigerant compression system of the Calcasieu Pass project.

In July last year, Calcasieu Pass LNG construction financing received more than $10bn in binding commitments from initial coordinating lead arrangers.
