Venture Global announces arrival of first liquefaction equipment at Calcasieu Pass LNG export facility

Venture Global LNG, Inc. is proud to announce that Calcasieu Pass LNG has begun installing the first equipment to liquefy natural gas at its export facility under construction in Cameron Parish, Louisiana.

The company received and began setting in place two Chart Industries, Inc. (GTLS) brazed aluminum heat exchangers, also known as cold boxes, which are the first of eighteen cold boxes that will be part of the Calcasieu Pass LNG liquefaction process system. The cold boxes, made in the USA, were delivered more than four months ahead of schedule and a mere ten months after the project’s final investment decision (FID).

Installing the first modules of the process system is an important milestone for the project, which is composed of eighteen mid-scale, modular liquefaction trains, factory-fabricated in Italy by Baker Hughes. Co-CEOs Bob Pender and Mike Sabel jointly stated, “We are extremely impressed with the early delivery and execution by Chart Industries and appreciate our collaboration with them.”

Best Practices in Supporting Front Line HPI Operations Remotely in Response to Covid-19

To ensure employee safety, HPI companies had to quickly pivot to a remote support model with many subject matter experts (SMEs) and engineering staff working remotely supporting front line, sequestered critical operations and field operators.

What are the best practices and lessons learned from this new remote operational support model? What have been technologies and work processes that are enabling effective and efficient remote operational support? Is this the “new norm” going forward even when the impact of Covid-19 abates? If not, how will remote support of critical operations be changed?

If this topic and questions are of interest to you and your organization, please attend this special HPI webinar with a panel of leading industry customer experts who will discuss their perspectives. Attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions for the panelists.
