Baker Hughes’ Equipment Drives Liquefaction at Commonwealth LNG Export Facility

On behalf of Commonwealth LNG, Technip Energies granted Baker Hughes full notice to proceed to deliver primary liquefaction equipment for the 9.5 MTPA LNG export facility under development in Cameron, LA. The order includes six refrigerant turbocompressors featuring LM9000 aeroderivative gas turbines and centrifugal compressors, helping Technip Energies and Commonwealth LNG meet the growing demand for low-carbon LNG through its upcoming export facility.

“Building on our long-standing relationship with Baker Hughes, this award for critical liquefaction equipment marks another significant milestone in advancing the Commonwealth LNG project toward its final investment decision,” said Arnaud Pieton, CEO of Technip Energies. “This progress reflects our collaboration with our customer Commonwealth LNG and our equipment partners. I look forward to our teams working together to deliver a modular LNG facility, enhancing energy security while addressing growing global demand for gas and LNG.”

In addition to delivering centrifugal compressors and LM9000 aeroderivative gas turbines, the full delivery scope includes commissioning services, capital spares, extended warranty, and a full string test.

“Delivering our LM9000 technology to Commonwealth LNG is an additional milestone that demonstrates the strength of Baker Hughes’ proven capabilities across the LNG value chain,” said Lorenzo Simonelli, Baker Hughes Chairman and CEO. “This award underscores our commitment to enabling energy infrastructure that is critical to support sustainable energy development, delivering affordable and reliable energy to meet growing global demand.”

The LM9000 model is among the most efficient gas turbines within its 70+ MW power class, providing over 44% efficiency in ISO conditions with extended time-between-maintenance intervals. Its compact packaging enables simplified maintenance, longer service intervals, high availability, and quicker installation and commissioning.

“This 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,” said David Lawler, Caturus Chief Executive Officer. “The Commonwealth project is a crucial component of Caturus’ wellhead-to-water strategy, and this is another important step toward building an independent integrated natural gas company.”

Last week, the Kuwait Oil Co. (KOC) granted Baker Hughes a significant award—via multi-year agreement—to deliver advanced artificial lift systems and related services to improve production in domestic oil and gas fields. The company will supply multiple types of electrical submersible pumps (ESPs), in addition to installation, surveillance, and maintenance services. ESP performance will be optimized by integrating FusionPro intelligent production drive and the Leucipa automated field production solution.

Both FusionPro and Leucipa will improve operational reliability and minimize non-productive time across KOC’s oil and gas fields. This multi-year agreement follows a Q3 award from KOC to supply advanced wireline and perforation technology and services, including Proxima advanced logging services. Proxima was installed to enhance reservoir evaluation, optimize production, and increase recovery.

In November 2025, Baker Hughes and Glenfarne Alaska LNG formed a strategic alliance to advance the Alaska LNG project. Per the agreement, Baker Hughes will supply main refrigerant compressors for its LNG terminal and power generation equipment for the North Slope gas treatment plant, in addition to making an investment to support Alaska LNG.
