Technip Energies has received a major authorization from Commonwealth LNG, including the issuance of purchase orders for critical equipment required for its 9.5 MTPA liquefied natural gas (LNG) export facility located in Cameron Parish, Louisiana, USA.
This authorization falls under the engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) contract previously awarded to Technip Energies and represents a key step toward Commonwealth LNG’s final investment decision (FID), which is targeted for the first quarter of 2026.
The purchase orders cover long-lead equipment essential to supporting the project’s accelerated construction strategy under its modular development approach. These include orders placed with leading technology providers such as Baker Hughes for six mixed-refrigerant compressors powered by LM9000 gas turbines; Honeywell for six main cryogenic heat exchangers; and Solar Turbines for four Titan 350 gas turbine generators.
Arnaud Pieton, CEO of Technip Energies, commented:
“This award for critical equipment purchase orders marks another significant milestone in advancing the Commonwealth LNG project toward its final investment decision. This progress reflects our strong collaboration with Commonwealth LNG and a shared commitment to delivering a world-class modular LNG facility, enhancing energy security while addressing growing global demand for gas and LNG. Technip Energies continues to leverage its leadership in modular solutions to deliver transformative energy projects.”
David Lawler, CEO of Caturus, said:
“This significant capital investment in the Commonwealth LNG platform is a key milestone, along with the financing process, which is well underway, and illustrates our level of commitment to developing this global-scale LNG project. The Commonwealth project is a crucial component of Caturus’ wellhead-to-water strategy, and this is another important step toward building the nation’s leading independent integrated natural gas company.”
The Commonwealth LNG project, with a total capacity of 9.5 MTPA, is designed around a modular construction concept. It will feature six identical liquefaction trains utilizing Technip Energies’ SnapLNG by T.EN™ modular and scalable technology. By replicating a standardized design across all six trains, the SnapLNG solution enables faster execution, improved cost efficiency, and greater predictability at scale.
