Cheniere and GE have entered a $1billion contract for the Sabine Pass LNG export terminal.
The 20-year deal will see GE provide spare parts and planned inspections, maintenance services and technical support for the gas turbines and refrigerant compressors on the first four LNG trains currently under construction.
Each train will have six gas turbines and is expected to have nominal capacity to produce approximately 4.5 million metric tons per annum (mtpa) of LNG.
Keith Teague, Cheniere president, said: “‘We need the right technology and service partner to support our facilities and ensure that we can deliver reliable production from our Sabine Pass LNG export facility.
“Our trains will have 24 GE gas turbines that will drive the refrigerant compressors.
“GE’s ability to service the equipment and provide full on-site technical support to ensure optimal reliability was an important factor in our selection.”
14 local experts will work on the project.
