Technology and engineering powerhouse Technip Energies has landed a major authorization from Commonwealth LNG, including purchase orders for critical equipment for its 9.5 Mtpa liquefied natural gas (LNG) facility in Cameron Parish, Louisiana.

 

The move marks a significant milestone in the engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) contract already signed with Commonwealth LNG and paves the way toward the project’s final investment decision (FID), expected in the first quarter of 2026.

 

The purchase orders target long-lead equipment that will support Commonwealth LNG’s accelerated, modular construction approach. Key orders include six mixed-refrigerant compressors powered by LM9000 gas turbines from Baker Hughes; six main cryogenic heat exchangers supplied by Honeywell; and four Titan 350 gas turbine-generators from Solar Turbines.

 

Arnaud Pieton, CEO of Technip Energies, said: “This award for critical equipment purchase orders marks another significant milestone in advancing the Commonwealth LNG project toward its final investment decision. 

 

"This progress reflects our strong collaboration with Commonwealth LNG and a shared commitment to delivering a world-class modular LNG facility, enhancing energy security while addressing growing global demand for gas and LNG. Technip Energies continues to leverage its leadership in modular solutions to deliver transformative energy projects."

 

David Lawler, CEO of Caturus, added: “This significant capital investment in the Commonwealth LNG platform is a key milestone, along with the financing process, which is well underway, and illustrates our level of commitment to developing this global-scale LNG project. 

 

"The Commonwealth project is a crucial component of Caturus’ wellhead-to-water strategy, and this is another important step toward building the nation’s leading independent integrated natural gas company.”

 

The Commonwealth LNG project, designed with a modular construction approach, will feature six identical liquefaction trains using Technip Energies’ SnapLNG by T.EN solution. By replicating a single design across all trains, SnapLNG enables faster schedules, cost optimization, and greater predictability at scale.
