USA

PORT ARTHUR, July 19, 2024 – Bechtel Energy has won a contract to provide EPC for the Port Arthur LNG Phase 2 project in Texas from Sempra Infrastructure, Sempra announced on Thursday.

Under the contract, Bechtel will perform the detailed engineering, procurement, construction, commissioning, startup, performance testing and operator training activities for the project.

The value of the contract was not disclosed.

“We are excited for the opportunity to advance our partnership with Sempra Infrastructure on the Port Arthur LNG Phase 2 project, a vital project that will play a crucial role in meeting the world’s increasing need for cleaner and more reliable energy,” Bechtel Energy president Paul Marsden said.

Bechtel Energy is a business unit of US EPCM major Bechtel. 

The USD 13-billion Port Arthur LNG Phase 1 project involves two liquefaction trains, two LNG storage tanks and associated facilities. Upon coming on line in 2027, the complex is expected to have a capacity of around 13 million tpy of LNG.

The second phase, with two trains slated to produce up to 13 million tpy, is expected to be commissioned in 2028.

Last month, Saudi Aramco signed an agreement with Sempra for the offtake of 5 million tonnes per year from the second phase.
