KTJV, a joint venture between Technip Energies and KBR, has been selected for an engineering, procurement, fabrication, and construction (EPFC) project by Lake Charles LNG. Subject to Lake Charles LNG making a final investment decision to proceed, this project will convert the existing Lake Charles LNG import and regasification terminal, located in Lake Charles, Louisiana, into a liquefied natural gas (LNG) export terminal.
The award covers a new 16.45 MTPA LNG export facility, including three 5.5 Mtpa modular LNG trains, brownfield modification to LNG storage, along with procurement, transportation, fabrication, installation, commissioning, and startup of the terminal.
Energy Transfer LP is developing a large-scale LNG export facility in Lake Charles, Louisiana located on the Calcasieu ship channel. The project will convert Energy Transfer’s existing Lake Charles LNG import and regasification terminal to an LNG export facility, providing a cost advantage over other proposed LNG projects on the Gulf Coast.
The project is fully permitted for three 5.5 MTPA liquefaction trains which will utilize existing infrastructure.
The US Federal Energy Regulatory Commission granted its approval in 2015, with authorization from the US Department of Energy to export up to 2.33 Bcf/d of natural gas (or 16.45 million metric tons of LNG per annum). It is one of the few proposed LNG export projects along the Gulf Coast that is fully permitted.
