Texas LNG Brownsville LLC (Texas LNG), the liquefied natural gas export terminal being developed at the Port of Brownsville, Texas by an affiliate of Glenfarne Group LLC (Glenfarne), has executed an engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) agreement with Kiewit through its subsidiary Kiewit Energy Group Inc. The contract follows a lump sum turnkey (LSTK) structure and marks one of the final milestones before the project moves toward a final investment decision (FID).
Under the agreement, Kiewit will be responsible for engineering, procurement of equipment, module fabrication, construction and commissioning of the full Texas LNG facility, delivering a fully operational export terminal to Glenfarne.
Brendan Duval, Glenfarne chief executive officer and founder, remarked, “Over the last 14 months, the Texas LNG project team has been embedded with Kiewit to complete the pre-FID engineering required for the project to begin execution. This process confirmed that Kiewit’s capabilities as well as their best-in-class execution and implementation expertise on the U.S. Gulf Coast, align with Glenfarne’s vision for Texas LNG. Together with Kiewit, we will construct a world-class LNG facility that will make the Rio Grande Valley region proud and provide high-paying, quality jobs, and technical training for the area for decades to come.”
“Kiewit is excited to advance our partnership with Glenfarne through Texas LNG, allowing us to bring our extensive experience and highly skilled workforce to deliver complex, integrated LNG EPC projects on time and on budget,” said Eric Gutierrez, executive vice president, Oil Gas and Chemical, for Kiewit Energy Group Inc. “We are proud to continue our work with Glenfarne and together build a premier LNG export facility on the U.S. Gulf Coast.”
