During the first quarter of this year, Baker Hughes secured an order from
               compatriot engineer Black & Veatch to supply the planned Cedar LNG project
               in Canada with electric driven liquefaction technologies.



               “LNG equipment orders totaled almost $200 million during the quarter.
               Excluding LNG equipment, our IET business booked more than $2.7 billion of
               orders, the second highest of any quarter since the 2017 merger,”
               CEO Lorenzo Simonelli said during the company’s first quarter earnings
               conference call on Wednesday.



               He said this was attributed to non-LNG gas tech equipment orders more
               than tripling from prior-year levels.



               LNG growth


               Simonelli said that “strong underlying natural gas demand will spur robust
               growth in LNG over the coming decades.”


               Through the end of this decade, Baker Hughes expects demand to increase
               by “mid-single digits annually.”



               “We believe this will support an installed nameplate capacity of 800 mtpa by
               2030. Looking out to 2040, we expect LNG demand growth to continue,
               requiring further capacity additions beyond 800 mtpa,” he said.



               “While there could be periods of price volatility driven by temporary
               dislocations in supply and demand over this time period, we see these as
               opportunities for accelerated demand creation LNG consumers, who tend to
               be very price sensitive, typically respond to lower prices with stronger
               demand,” Simonelli said.


               “We have seen evidence of this recently. Global LNG demand is up 4 percent

               year to date, against the backdrop of an approximate 50 percent decline in
               LNG prices over the same period,” he said.
