| Work Detail |
Australia’s energy giant Woodside has signed a revised lump-sum turnkey engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) contract with Bechtel Energy, a U.S.-headquartered engineering, procurement, construction, and project management company, for a proposed liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal in Louisiana, United States.
The revised contract entails work on the three-train 16.5 million tonnes per annum foundation development of Woodside Louisiana LNG. Bechtel has worked on-site since the acquisition and will continue to do so in line with the limited notice to proceed (LNTP) executed under the revised deal. According to the Australian major, the LNTP encompasses continued site construction and commitment to the foundation project’s key materials and services.
Described as a high-quality, scalable development opportunity, with a total permitted capacity of 27.6 million tonnes per annum, the development entails 11 million tons per annum (mtpa) Phase 1 and 5.5 mtpa Phase 2. Woodside previously disclosed that Bechtel started construction under a lump-sum turnkey contract, with pilings for Trains 1 and 2 complete.
Formerly known as Driftwood LNG, the project is an under-construction, pre-final investment decision (FID), LNG production and export terminal in Calcasieu Parish, Louisiana. It was renamed two months ago after Woodside completed the acquisition of its previous owner Tellurian following an announcement of the $900 million deal in July. |
