(Bechtel) to supply primary liquefaction equipment for Train 5 of NextDecade's Rio Grande LNG Facility in the Port of Brownsville, Texas.
The award follows a recent order for Train 4 and is part of a previously established framework agreement covering a variety of Baker Hughes equipment and associated contractual services for Trains 4 through 8.
"Our continued collaboration with Baker Hughes on the Rio Grande LNG project highlights their consistent delivery of industry-leading technology and expertise," said Bhupesh Thakkar, Bechtel's general manager for its LNG business. "We value Baker Hughes' ongoing support as we progress this significant expansion, which will be vital for meeting growing global energy demand."
"Securing this order for the fifth train of the Rio Grande LNG project underscores the confidence in our proven technology and the dedication of our teams," said Baker Hughes Chairman and CEO Lorenzo Simonelli.

These advanced solutions, designed to deliver efficiency and lower emissions, will support an additional LNG capacity of approximately 6 MTPA at the facility.
In addition, Baker Hughes is also providing an additional digital solution for Rio Grande's Trains 1 to 3 through the deployment of Cordant(TM) Asset Health.
