Taken together, these modular units will remove water, mercury, carbon dioxide and sulfur from 1.6 billion standard cubic feet per day of natural gas so it can be liquefied and safely transported to customers on ocean-going vessels. The project will include a Honeywell UOP Mercury Removal Unit (MRU) and three separate trains each consisting of an Acid Gas Removal Unit (AGRU) and molecular sieve dehydration unit. "These technologies are proven and reliable, and the delivery of those technologies in modular form provides better quality and adherence to delivery schedules," added co-CEO Mike Sabel. "Honeywell UOP is an established leader in advanced proprietary technologies for gas pretreatment, and we're pleased to be partnered with them on this critical project," said Bob Pender, co-CEO of Venture Global LNG.

"By delivering this technology in modular form, we can reduce construction and installation costs compared with traditional field-constructed systems." "With this project, Honeywell UOP is helping Venture Global LNG build a facility that provides the lowest-cost supply of LNG by using large-scale high-performance equipment," said Ben Owens, vice president and general manager of Honeywell UOP's Gas Processing and Hydrogen business. Honeywell UOP will provide engineering, procurement and fabrication services for the complex which, when completed, will produce 10 million tons per annum (MTPA) of liquefied natural gas (LNG) for export to markets in Asia, Europe and other locations.
CALCASIEU PASS LNG PROJECT SERIES
will use a series of technologies from Honeywell UOP to remove various contaminants from natural gas prior to liquefaction at its Calcasieu Pass LNG export facility in Cameron Parish, Louisiana. Venture Global has entered long-term agreements to sell LNG to units of several companies around the world, including China National Offshore Oil Corp (CNOOC), China Petroleum and Chemical Corp (Sinopec) (600028.SS), Royal Dutch Shell PLC (RDSa.L), BP PLC, Edison SpA (EDNn.MI), Galp Energia SGPS SA (GALP.LS), Repsol SA (REP.MC) and Polish Oil and Gas Co (PGNiG).DES PLAINES, Ill., /PRNewswire/ - Honeywell (NYSE: HON) announced today that Venture Global LNG, Inc.

Venture Global has already started early site work on the $8.5 billion Plaquemines project, which analysts expect to start producing first LNG in 2024. In total, Venture Global has about 70 MTPA of LNG export capacity under construction or development in Louisiana, including the 10-MTPA Calcasieu Pass, 20-MTPA Plaquemines, 20-MTPA Delta and 20-MTPA CP2. Analysts estimate the plant cost about $4.5 billion.įederal regulators have approved the commissioning of at least two blocks so far. Venture Global is installing 18 modular liquefaction trains configured in nine blocks at Calcasieu to produce about 10 million tonnes per annum (MTPA) of LNG, equivalent to about 1.5 billion cubic feet per day of natural gas.

Officials at Venture Global were not immediately available for comment. The amount of gas flowing to Calcasieu rose to 88 million cubic feet per day (mmcfd) on Friday, from an average of about 38 mmcfd during the prior week, according to pipeline data from Refinitiv.Ĭalcasieu has been pulling in gas since around August, according to Refinitiv data, as the company tests equipment before the facility enters commercial service later in 2022. liquefied natural gas (LNG) company Venture Global's Calcasieu Pass export plant in Louisiana is close to producing its first LNG, energy traders said after the amount of feed gas to the facility increased rapidly this week.
