Technip Energies (Paris:TE) (ISIN:NL0014559478) is pleased to announce that a joint venture (T.ENCCC JV), led by Technip Energies (T.EN) in partnership with Consolidated Contractors Company (CCC), has won a major1 Engineering, Procurement, Construction and Commissioning (EPCC) contract by QatarEnergy for the onshore facilities of the North Field South Project (NFS).
This award will cover the delivery of 2 mega trains, each with a capacity of 8 million tons per annum (Mtpa) of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG). It will include a large CO2 carbon capture and sequestration facility of 1.5 Mtpa, leading to 25% plus reduction of greenhouse gas emissions when compared to similar LNG facilities.
The expansion project will produce approximately 16 Mtpa of additional LNG, increasing Qatar’s total production from 110 to 126 Mtpa.
Arnaud Pieton, CEO of Technip Energies, commented: “We are extremely honored to have been awarded by QatarEnergy this mega LNG project, along with our long-standing partner CCC, a leading construction company for LNG trains. This award is a testament to the trust, extent, and strength of our relationship with QatarEnergy. This new project also reflects our leadership in the LNG market as well as our proven ability to integrate technologies towards low carbon LNG, critical in solving the trilemma for affordable, available and sustainable energy.”
Technip Energies has been active with a local presence since 1986 in Qatar, a strategic country for the Company.

Eni announces the arrival of the first LNG cargo in Piombino’s new regasification facility
Eni has begun offloading the first LNG cargo into Snam’s new regasification terminal in Piombino today, in the presence of the Minister of the Environment and Energy Security, Gilberto Pichetto Fratin. The terminal has a total processing capacity of 5 billion cubic metres per year, or approximately 7% of Italy's gas demand. The LNG was produced at Egypt’s Damietta liquefaction plant, one of the facilities where Eni has invested with the strategic goal of growing its integrated liquefied gas portfolio.
Eni acquired regasification capacity at Piombino terminal as part of its strategy to diversify LNG supplies to Italy through its internationally produced equity gas. Leveraging its strong relations with the countries where it operates and its trademark fast-track project development approach, Eni has increased the volumes of available gas from Algeria, Libya and Italy and increased the number of LNG cargoes from Egypt, Congo, Qatar, Angola, Nigeria, Indonesia and Mozambique.
In this way, Eni will be able to guarantee gas supplies to its customers through a more diversified portfolio. Contracted LNG is expected to exceed 18 MTPA by 2026, twice as much as in 2022, confirming LNG’s role as a reliable energy source in support of security of supply and the energy transition.
Piombino’s new regasification capacity will help implement Eni's plan to completely replace Russian gas by 2024-2025 and increase the availability of gas for the country, with potential benefits in terms of prices and competitiveness of Italy’s industrial and economic system.

Air Products’ LNG Technology and Equipment Selected for Sempra Infrastructure’s Port Arthur, Texas Phase 1 Project
Air Products (NYSE: APD), the world’s leader in liquefied natural gas (LNG) technology and equipment, today announced it has signed an agreement with Bechtel Energy Inc. to provide its proprietary LNG process technology, equipment and advisory services to Sempra Infrastructure’s Port Arthur LNG Phase 1 project in Jefferson County, Texas. The Port Arthur LNG Phase 1 project is fully permitted and is designed to include two natural gas liquefaction trains, two liquefied natural gas (LNG) storage tanks and associated facilities with a nameplate capacity of approximately 13 million tonnes per annum (MTPA).
Air Products’ world-class LNG equipment manufacturing facility in Port Manatee, Florida will manufacture two main cryogenic heat exchangers for its AP-C3MRTM LNG process technology. The expected commercial operation dates for Trains 1 and 2 for Port Arthur LNG are projected for 2027 and 2028. This is the third Sempra Infrastructure project for which Air Products’ LNG technology was selected, the first being the three trains at the Cameron, Louisiana LNG facility that have been operating with AP-C3MR technology since 2019, and the second being the Energia Costa Azul (ECA) liquefaction project in Mexico.
“We are honored to be selected for the Port Arthur LNG Phase 1 project and this opportunity to further support the North American LNG production market in the Gulf Coast. Our proven large scale heat exchangers and unrivaled process technology are at the heart of the majority of LNG export facilities around the world, both on and offshore. With the global demand for LNG increasing in the coming decades, our LNG equipment manufacturing facility located in Port Manatee is equipped to meet this demand, and the 2019 expansion of our production facilities there demonstrated Air Products’ long-term commitment to this important market,” said Dr. Samir J. Serhan, Air Products’ Chief Operating Officer.
"Bechtel is proud to work with Air Products. Their reliable and proven technology is critical to the design, construction, and operations of Port Arthur LNG," said Paul Marsden, president of Bechtel Energy. "Together with Air Products, Bechtel will deliver a robustly engineered and well-constructed, quality plant for Sempra Infrastructure, enabling them to meet the growing demand for clean, affordable energy."
Under the agreement, Air Products will provide engineering, design and manufacturing of the heat exchanger equipment for the liquefaction sections of two large trains, which will use Air Products’ proprietary AP-C3MR propane pre-cooled mixed refrigerant liquefaction process technology. In addition, Air Products will provide engineering studies and technical advisory services for the installation and startup of each LNG train. The AP-C3MR process is used to produce more LNG than any other process in the world. This process is proven, highly reliable, flexible and has become the industry standard.
Air Products opened its world-class Port Manatee facility in January 2014 and completed a 60% expansion in October 2019 to meet the needs of the ever-growing LNG industry. In October 2018, a new LNG equipment test facility (ETF) was dedicated, which enables Air Products to continually improve the reliability and yield produced from its LNG equipment and to design new equipment.
Air Products’ proprietary LNG process technology and equipment are vital to helping meet the world’s increasing energy needs and desire for clean energy, processes and cryogenically liquefies valuable natural gas for consumer and industrial use. For over 50 years Air Products has manufactured LNG heat exchangers, which currently operate in over 100 LNG trains in 20 countries around the world.
Typically, an LNG heat exchanger can be as large as over 15 feet (5 meters) in diameter and 180 feet (55 meters) long. A finished unit can weigh as much as 500 tons.
