Baker Hughes will provide liquefaction solutions to Venture Global LNG for its CP2 liquefied natural gas (LNG) expansion project in Cameron Parish, Louisiana. The scope includes six liquefaction blocks for a total of 12 liquefaction modules. Each block is based on two single mixed-refrigerant liquefaction modules and related compression trains featuring Baker Hughes’ centrifugal compressor technology, as well as cold boxes, air coolers, and integrated control systems.
The CP2 LNG project is emerging as one of the largest LNG export developments currently under construction in the United States. Located adjacent to the Venture Global LNG’s Calcasieu Pass facility, CP2 is designed to produce approximately 29 MTPA of LNG and will be supported by the CP Express Pipeline, which will transport natural gas from Texas and Louisiana to the export terminal. The new pipeline originates in Jasper County, Texas, and passes through Newton County, Texas, and Calcasieu Parish, Louisiana, before it ends at the CP2 terminal.
The project is being developed using Venture Global’s modular, mid-scale liquefaction train strategy, an approach intended to reduce construction costs and accelerate commissioning compared with traditional large-scale LNG facilities. CP2 has secured significant financial backing, with Phase 1 reaching final investment decision in 2025 and Phase 2 following in 2026. Together, the phases have attracted more than US$20 billion in project financing, making CP2 one of the largest energy infrastructure financings in the United States.
