Baker Hughes, an energy technology company, announced it received a Full Notice To Proceed from Technip Energies on behalf of Commonwealth LNG to supply primary liquefaction equipment for Commonwealth LNG’s 9.5 million tonnes per annum (MTPA) export facility currently under development in Cameron, Louisiana.
The award, which

crucial component of Caturus’ wellhead-to-water strategy, and this is another
important step toward building the nation’s leading independent integrated
natural gas company.”
“Building on our
long-standing relationship with Baker Hughes, this award for critical
liquefaction equipment marks another significant milestone in advancing the
Commonwealth LNG project toward its final investment decision,”
said Arnaud Pieton, CEO of Technip Energies. “This progress reflects our
strong collaboration with our customer Commonwealth LNG and our equipment
