GLNG
NEWS IN BRIEF
GLNG
breakthrough for energy supply to Northern Canada. It allows communities and remote industries to secure a lower cost and a more environmentally sustainable fuel source.
Business opportunities for local construction workers, service companies, and operations personnel will become available for the construction of the facility, and for
the distribution of LNG to Northern Canada from a new transportation hub, located within the municipality of Fort Nelson. Cryopeak
is partnering with Fort Nelson First Nations to develop business opportunities associated with the project.
As the leading LNG provider in Yukon, BC and the Northwest Territories, and the turnkey developer of the project, Cryopeak has selected CryoSys, LLC for the liquefaction equipment to produce the LNG.
“We are delighted to have been awarded this contract to deliver the liquefaction package to Cryopeak’s LNG facility in Northern BC,” said Neil Karr, president of CryoSys. “Our highly efficient optimised mixed refrigerant process and our ability to package the modular liquefaction plant in our workshop allows us to provide the lowest installation and operating costs for a small- scale LNG plant in the LNG marketplace.”
Karr said the equipment will be delivered to Cryopeak in early summer.

Venture Global LNG announces successful string test of Calcasieu Pass liquefaction equipment
Venture Global LNG, Inc. is pleased to announce the successful string test of the first Venture Global Calcasieu Pass mixed refrigerant compression system at Baker Hughes’ testing facility in Massa, Italy. The string test proves the engineering, functionality and performance of the
Calcasieu Pass process system a mere seven months after the project’s final investment decision (FID) – a major achievement and step-change for the industry.
The 10 mtpa Calcasieu Pass LNG project employs a comprehensive process solution from Baker Hughes that utilises highly efficient, mid-scale, modular liquefaction trains that are factory-fabricated in Italy and shipped complete to the Calcasieu Pass site, currently under construction in Cameron Parish, Louisiana. Venture Global issued full notice to proceed (FNTP) to Baker Hughes in August 2019 concurrent with the project’s FID.
As part of the ongoing execution of the project, the string test was performed on the first full set of equipment to prove that all system components function together under normal operating conditions. The string
test replicates and simulates site conditions, and every component that will be shipped
to and operated at site is commissioned and validated in order to verify whole system functionality and performance. The test performs a mechanical running assessment and measures equipment vibration and bearing temperatures at full speed and full load. The auxiliary and control systems
are also calibrated which minimises these activities in the field. The successful string
test demonstrates the strength of the project’s design and that the equipment will function properly once installed, a major milestone and an important indicator of on-time delivery for the overall project.
In a demonstration of innovation and commitment to maintaining project schedule, Baker Hughes and Venture Global used cutting edge virtual technology to conduct the test in the face of the limiting conditions imposed by COVID-19. Overall, the test involved 21 people in five cities around the world monitoring the test using advanced digital and video remote access, as well as local field technicians for both Baker Hughes and Venture Global directly observing in Massa.
