Venture Global Calcasieu Pass Announces Arrival of First Factory-Fabricated Liquefaction Trains
ARLINGTON, Va., Nov. 10, 2020 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --

Venture Global LNG, Inc. is proud to announce the successful arrival of the 
first two liquefaction trains at the company's Calcasieu Pass LNG export 
facility in Cameron Parish, Louisiana.  The delivery of the highly optimized 
0.6 MTPA LNG trains, fabricated in factories, less than 15 months after the 
project's final investment decision represents not only a major project 
milestone but also a step-change in LNG construction.

The two midscale, modular liquefaction trains and mixed refrigerant compressor 
skids were shipped to Louisiana from Baker Hughes's manufacturing facility in 
Avenza, Italy more than two months ahead of the contractual delivery date.  
Each train, delivered complete and ready to install, was successfully unloaded, 
transported onto the Calcasieu Pass site and positioned on its foundations in 
less than a day.  The first and second of the project's eighteen identical 
trains will now be connected to their respective Chart brazed aluminum heat 
exchangers, or cold boxes, eight of which are already installed on site.  

Mike Sabel, Executive Co-Chairman and CEO stated, "Venture Global LNG is proud 
to demonstrate continued execution of the strategy we pioneered.  Our 
factory-fabricated, modular liquefaction trains enable us to deliver the 
fastest construction schedule in the LNG industry while driving dramatic risk 
reductions across the entire project.  We look forward to the successful 
delivery of Calcasieu Pass trains 3 through 18 and then 36 identical trains for 
Plaquemines LNG."

Executive Co-Chairman Bob Pender added, "The completion and delivery of our 
first two liquefaction modules demonstrates the first-class execution and 
collaboration inherent in our long-term relationship with Baker Hughes.  
Despite the effects of COVID-19 and multiple Gulf Coast hurricanes, we will now 
begin installing these trains ahead of the contracted schedule.  This is a leap 
forward in LNG infrastructure development."
