ARLINGTON, Virginia, March 15, 2019 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --

Venture Global LNG, Inc. announces that it will expand the scope of its LNG 
development business to 60 million tonnes per annum (MTPA) of production based 
on customer demand.  The company has increased the size of its 2016 process 
equipment supply agreement with Baker Hughes, a GE company to 60 MTPA, under 
which BHGE will deliver a comprehensive technology solution for Venture 
Global's LNG export facilities under agreed terms and defined performance 
guarantees.  The agreement provides for the guaranteed supply of highly 
efficient and reliable modular liquefaction trains plus power generation and 
electrical distribution equipment that will be standardized across the 
company's Calcasieu Pass, Plaquemines LNG, and expansion projects.

Co-CEOs Bob Pender and Mike Sabel jointly stated, "With this expanded 60 MTPA 
commitment from BHGE, we can grow our business to meet the increasing demand 
for our low-cost LNG from our international customers.  Having fully contracted 
Calcasieu Pass and anticipating completion of Plaquemines LNG, we are pleased 
to announce this expansion to meet additional customer demand.  We believe our 
model of mid-scale modular liquefaction is the future of low-cost LNG 
production."

The 10 MTPA Calcasieu Pass project has received all federal authorizations and 
the project's EPC contractor, Kiewit, is actively mobilizing pursuant to FERC 
authorization and plans to commence fully site activities imminently.  Under 
20-year agreements with Shell, BP, Edison S.p.A., Galp, Repsol and PGNiG, 
Calcasieu Pass will begin delivering US natural gas to the global market in 
2022.  The 20 MTPA Plaquemines LNG project is expected to receive its final 
FERC authorization in August and commence construction in 2019.
