據管道新聞網3月28日消息稱，Tellurian公司已發出有限通知，根據其已執行的工程、采購和建設(EPC)合同，開始建設Driftwood LNG終端的一期工程，該終端是路易斯安那州Lake Charles附近的LNG出口設施。

Driftwood LNG 是一個每年約 2760 萬噸的液化出口設施。第一階段將包括兩個液化天然氣工廠，出口能力高達1100萬噸/年。Driftwood已經獲得了所有施工和運營所需的主要許可證，已經完成了大約30%的詳細工程，并完成了約1200英畝房地產的購買和租賃，確保了一個理想的建筑場地，有充足的鋪設和深水航運通道。

該公司總裁兼首席執行官Octávio Sim?es表示:“能源安全是當今許多國家的首要問題，美國必須盡我們的一份力量，盡快向全球市場供應液化天然氣。現在開始施工，Tellurian可以在2026年完成項目融資的同時，按照我們強大的計劃交付第一批液化天然氣。我們在Driftwood LNG的詳細工程和主要設備訂單方面處于領先地位，并且我們已經完成了所有業主要求我們將該場地移交給Bechtel的項目?！?/p>

Bechtel 的第一項活動包括拆除、土建場地準備和關鍵地基的建設，貝克休斯將推進項目第一階段所需的兩臺天然氣渦輪機的制造。

Bechtel 首席運營官 Craig Albert 表示：“我們非常自豪和榮幸能夠繼續與 Tellurian 在 Driftwood LNG 項目上建立長期合作伙伴關系。很明顯，世界需要這種來自美國的可靠能源。我們很高興現在將重點轉移到該領域開始建設?！?/p>

Tellurian’s Driftwood LNG Facility Begins Construction

Tellurian Inc. has issued a limited notice to proceed to Bechtel Energy Inc. under its executed engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contract to begin construction of phase one of the Driftwood LNG terminal, an LNG export facility near Lake Charles, Louisiana.

Driftwood LNG is an approximately 27.6 million tonnes per annum (mtpa) liquefaction export facility. Phase one will include two LNG plants with an export capacity of up to 11 mtpa. Driftwood has received all the major permits required for construction and operation, has progressed detailed engineering to approximately 30% complete, and has finalized the purchase and lease of approximately 1,200 acres of real estate ensuring an ideal construction site with ample laydown and deepwater access for shipping.

“Energy security is a leading concern in many countries today and the United States must do our part to supply LNG to the global market as quickly as possible,” Octávio Sim?es, president and CEO, said. “Beginning construction now allows Tellurian to deliver upon our robust schedule for first LNG in 2026 while we complete the project financing. We are well advanced in Driftwood LNG’s detailed engineering and major equipment orders, and we have completed all the owners’ projects required for us to turn the site over to Bechtel.”

Bechtel’s first activities include demolition, civil site preparation and construction of critical foundations, and Baker Hughes will progress manufacturing two of the natural gas turbines required for phase one of the project.

“We are very proud and honored to continue our long partnership with Tellurian on the Driftwood LNG project,” Craig Albert, COO of Bechtel, said. “It is as apparent as ever that the world needs this reliable source of energy from the USA. And we are excited to now shift our focus to the field to begin construction.”
