Siemens has received a contract for supplying the initial ten compressor trains for a major Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) project. Siemens’ customer is Magnolia LNG, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Liquefied Natural Gas Limited (LNGL), which is developing an up 8 mtpa mid-scale LNG facility based on their OSMR® LNG technology in the Port of Lake Charles, Louisiana. Siemens’ scope of supply comprises a total of eight refrigeration compressors and two feed gas booster compressors for the initial two LNG trains. Four Mixed Refrigerant (MR) Siemens STC-SV compressors will each be driven by a Siemens SGT-750 gas turbine, while four Ammonia Refrigerant (AR) STC-SV compressors will each be driven by a Siemens SST-600 steam turbine. Additionally two motor driven feed gas booster compressors will be delivered.
Siemens has further agreed with LNGL to establish a supplier alliance agreement (SAA) for process compression equipment & drivers for future LNGL projects in support of the company strategy to standardize the implementation of the OSMR® LNG technology worldwide.
Siemens has completed acquisitions of oil and gas equipment and service provider Dresser-Rand, as well as Rolls-Royce Energy’s aero-derivative gas turbine and compressor business.
