TechnipFMC selected for Commonwealth LNG project

HOUSTON -- Commonwealth LNG signed a contract with TechnipFMC, for engineering services and development of the proposed LNG export terminal on the Calcasieu Ship Channel in Cameron Parish, Louisiana.

Commonwealth LNG CEO Paul Varello said, “The strength of our team lies not only in the diverse LNG experience of our executive management, but also with the industry-leading partners we have chosen for this development. Commonwealth LNG will achieve its goal of being the low-cost provider for the next wave of U.S. LNG liquefaction projects.”

Commonwealth LNG also signed a master services agreement with Lloyd Engineering for marine facility and turning basin design, and support of the Water Suitability Assessment (WSA), with the U.S. Coast Guard. Collectively with the Maritime Pilots Institute in Covington, Louisiana, the group completed simulations and then subsequently prepared a draft WSA.

TechnipFMC and Lloyd Engineering are working collaboratively with CH-IV, who will manage the development of the formal Federal Energy Regulatory Commission application for the 6-train, 1-berth Commonwealth LNG facility.
