TechnipFMC has received notice to proceed with an Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) contract worth over 1 billion dollars, by Sempra LNG and Infraestructura Energética Nova, S.A.B. de C.V. (IEnova) at their Energía Costa Azul (ECA) liquefied natural gas (LNG) facility in Baja California, Mexico.
The project will add a natural gas liquefaction facility with nameplate capacity of 3.25 million tons per annum to the existing regasification terminal using a compact and high efficiency mid-scale LNG design.
This addition will allow for natural gas liquefaction and LNG export capability at the ECA LNG facility, which has been operating as a regasification terminal since 2008. ECA LNG is one of Sempra LNG’s strategically located natural gas liquefaction infrastructure projects currently in development in North America.
“We are very pleased to have been selected by Sempra LNG and IEnova for this strategic development,” Arnaud Pieton, President of Technip Energies said. “This project is fully aligned with our selective approach through very early stage involvement.”
Pieton said TechnipFMC looks forward to bringing its global project execution capabilities and extensive LNG track record to this project. “LNG plays a major role in the energy transition, and we are proud to leverage our expertise to support this journey.”
