HOUSTON, July 22, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- McDermott
International, Inc. (NYSE: MDR) along with its partners,
Chiyoda International Corporation and Zachry Group, announced today
that Train 1 of the Freeport LNG Liquefaction project on
Quintana Island in Freeport, Texas, has reached the final
commissioning stage. This includes the introduction of feed gas
into Train 1 of the natural gas liquefaction and LNG export
facility.
"We are extremely proud of the Freeport LNG project team for
reaching this major milestone at this unique LNG production
facility," said Mark Coscio,
McDermott's Senior Vice President for North, Central and
South America. "First of its kind
in the US, with the largest electric motor driven refrigeration
compressors, the Freeport LNG facility will significantly improve
the energy export capabilities we have in the U.S., and McDermott
is pleased to be part of its development from the ground up. Once
Train 1 is fully operational, it will have the capacity to produce
more than 5 million tonnes of LNG per year."
Zachry Group, as the joint venture lead, engaged McDermott for
the Pre-FEED in 2011, followed by FEED works to support the early
development stage of the project as a one-stop shop solution
provider. Later Chiyoda joined the partnership and the joint team
provided engineering, procurement and facility construction as well
as commissioning and initial operations for the project. The
project includes three pre-treatment trains, a liquefaction
facility with three trains, a second loading berth and a 165,000 m3
full containment LNG storage tank.
