Siemens wins compression
contract for Golden Pass
LNG export project
Siemens Gas and Power was awarded a contract from CCZ JV (a joint venture between Chiyoda International Corporation, McDermott International, and Zachry Group) to supply three cryogenic boil-off gas (BOG) compressor trains for the Golden Pass LNG export terminal in Sabine Pass, Texas, USA. The export facility is a joint venture between affiliates of Qatar Petroleum and ExxonMobil and will be integrated into the existing Golden Pass LNG import terminal. It will include the construction of three liquefaction process trains, each with a nominal output
of approximately 5.2 million metric tons per annum (mtpa).
Siemens Gas and Power’s scope of supply covers the engineering, manufacturing, and testing of the three, single-shaft centrifugal BOG compression packages, along with all installation and commissioning activities. Each of the compressor packages will be driven by a 6.8-megawatt (MW) electric motor. Manufacturing, testing, and packaging will take place in Duisburg, Germany.
The project scope also includes a frame agreement to supply all low-voltage electric motors and electric variable speed drives (1 – 200 horsepower) and all medium-voltage (250 – 1,500 horsepower) electric motors.
In addition to the BOG compressor trains, Siemens Gas and Power will also provide steam turbine generator sets for the Golden Pass LNG export terminal.
“With 90% global market share and a fleet that has accumulated more than 4.2 million hours of service, Siemens Gas and Power is
a worldwide leader in cryogenic boil-off gas
compression,” said Matthew Russell, Executive Vice President of LNG for Siemens Energy Oil & Gas Division. “We believe our expertise in the design and manufacturing of BOG compressors, along with our strong presence in the LNG market, played an integral role
in securing the Golden Pass compression contract.”

KBR awarded energy
efficiency opportunities
study for Gladstone LNG
KBR announced today that it has been awarded an energy efficiency opportunities study at Gladstone LNG (GLNG) by Santos Ltd., a leading energy group in Australia.
Building on KBR’s strong and successful portfolio within the LNG sector, the study
seeks to explore opportunities to improve the overall energy efficiency of the plant and reduce CO2 emissions associated with the GLNG liquefaction facility.
KBR will assist GLNG in identifying and screening potential modifications to enhance the operational facility through improvements of thermal efficiency while also accounting for the associated reduction in carbon emissions.
“KBR has long been trusted by clients across the LNG sector and this study
is indicative of KBR’s capabilities and skillsets across complex industrial assets, demonstrating our strategic commitment to sustainability and decarbonisation and optimising operational efficiencies across the supply chain,” said Jay Ibrahim, KBR President, Energy Solutions.
This project will leverage the specialist energy, decarbonisation and process optimisation skills of KBR’s strategic and advisory consulting team.

Senex and GLNG to supply
Roma North natural gas to
the domestic market; Senex
FY20 guidance upgraded
Senex will reduce natural gas supply to GLNG by around 1 PJ over the period June to August 2020 at GLNG’s request, following currently lower LNG offtake requirements at GLNG.
Senex and GLNG have agreed to re-direct these volumes to the Wallumbilla natural gas supply hub. Senex will market this natural gas, together with higher than expected production from Atlas, to east coast gas customers as a part of its supply portfolio.
Natural gas production continues to outperform at both Roma North and Atlas
in the Surat Basin, with production now exceeding 34 TJ/day. Given continued production and reservoir outperformance, Senex will further reduce the number of wells to be drilled at Atlas to 45 wells from 50 wells (previously reduced from 60 wells). Additional wells to maintain plateau production are to be drilled in the next campaign.
Senex expects to complete the current drilling campaign in the coming weeks, with final wells to be brought into production during June 2020. Atlas water infrastructure is also on schedule to commence commissioning and water intake in June, with completion of all works expected in early FY21.
Following strong production performance across Senex’s Surat Basin assets, and assuming continued normal operations in
