Argent LNG has selected Baker Hughes as the liquefaction solution and related services provider for its proposed LNG export facility in Port Fourchon, Baker Hughes announced Monday during its annual meeting in Florence, Italy.
Baker Hughes will supply cutting-edge liquefaction solutions, power generation equipment and gas compression systems for the facility, which is set to deliver approximately 24 million tons per annum (MTPA) of LNG.
The project will incorporate Baker Hughes’ advanced technologies, including its NMBL modularized LNG solution powered by the LM9000 gas turbine. These modules, prefabricated and tested at Baker Hughes’ facilities, will ensure scalable and reliable LNG production.
“We chose Baker Hughes because of their proven cutting-edge technology, established LNG market presence, and commitment to innovation — all of which align perfectly with Argent LNG’s vision to provide transformative energy solutions,” says Jonathan Bass, chairman and CEO of Argent LNG.
Phase 1 construction is targeted to begin in 2026, with commercial operations expected by 2030. Phase 2, which aims to expand capacity, is advancing through critical milestones, including resource reporting, securing FERC approvals, formalizing gas supply agreements and achieving financial close.
