Tecnimont enters LNG market with strategic agreement with Argent LNG for Louisiana export facility

1/21/2026
  • TECNIMONT has signed a term sheet to participate as integrated engineering service provider in the development of Argent LNG’s groundbreaking 25 MTPA LNG project in Louisiana, United States
  • TECNIMONT will leverage its proven ability to integrate advanced Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) technologies, across engineering, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) permitting and Front-Engineering Design (FEED) development, for which contracts are expected to be finalized soon
  • The collaboration represents a platform for innovation, linking Italian and American expertise to build resilient, scalable, and repeatable LNG infrastructures

MAIRE announced that TECNIMONT S.p.A. has signed a term sheet with Argent LNG, marking TECNIMONT’s strategic entry into the global LNG market. The term sheet lays the foundation for TECNIMONT’s participation in the development of the Argent LNG export facility project located in Port Fourchon, Louisiana – one of the most strategically hurricane-resilient energy hubs in the United States.

This strategic framework represents TECNIMONT’s first operational step into the LNG export segment, a business area identified among the growth drivers for MAIRE’s Integrated Engineering & Construction (IE&CS) business unit.

TECNIMONT and Argent LNG establish a long‑term alignment across engineering and project development as the project advances through Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) permitting, Front‑End Engineering Design (FEED), for which contracts are expected to be finalized soon, in order to support the final investment decision.

The Argent LNG and TECNIMONT modular platform is designed to be fully replicable, scalable, and financeable, enabling rapid and predictable responses to global LNG demand. Every module has been optimized for constructability, transportability, and integration with proven Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) technologies. The Argent LNG platform, in fact, has been engineered around modular solutions from globally recognized technology leaders. This integrated approach is intended to enhance execution certainty, reduce interface risk, and support a disciplined pathway to final investment decision.

The collaboration delivers a truly bankable and repeatable solution that can be deployed across multiple projects and geographies, establishing a new global standard for modular LNG infrastructure.

This achievement represents further evidence of TECNIMONT’s ability to deliver disciplined development, precise engineering execution, and integration of OEM technologies such as Baker Hughes.
