Baker Hughes signed a strategic order with San Matias Pipeline to deliver three gas compression units for a key natural gas pipeline project in Argentina. The contract includes three NovaLT16 gas turbines equipped with three centrifugal compressors, in addition to commissioning services, spare parts, specialized tools, and remote monitoring and diagnostic capabilities. These units will be installed at a gas compressor station near Allen, Río Negro, to support natural gas transportation from the Vaca Muerta formation to the Gulf of San Matias through a dedicated pipeline, providing feed gas to Southern Energy’s two floating LNG vessels.
Turboden America signed a three-year framework agreement with Fervo Energy to supply Organic Rankine Cycle units for up to 35 GeoBlocks totaling 1,750 MW of carbon-free, dispatchable power capacity. The new contract complements Turboden’s prior agreement with Fervo to supply ORC units for three 50-MW GeoBlocks at the enhanced geothermal development in Cape Station, UT. Both companies intend to apply lessons learned across deployed units to continuously strengthen system performance.
Glenfarne Group expanded its international LNG commodities platform, Glenfarne Global Commodities, to include 1.5 MTPA of LNG from Texas LNG, alongside Alaska LNG offtake volumes to be determined once customer allocations are finalized in the coming weeks. This expansion provides GGC and Glenfarne’s LNG projects with commercial flexibility and optionality that benefit from an LNG portfolio serving the Atlantic and Pacific basins.
Over 11,000 total attendees from 90+ countries packed the 44th annual CERAWeek conference in Houston, TX. While all forms of energy including oil, gas, nuclear, and renewables were well represented, the conferences’ focus was to address the surge in demand for electricity, especially in North America. The pendulum clearly swung from renewable energy back to dispatchable fossil fuel and nuclear power generation and, while almost 1,200 speakers participated at CERA, there was a noticeable reduction in interest for projects relating to hydrogen, carbon capture, and wind.

Per signed agreement with Co.Pro.B. – Italia Zuccheri, Turboden will supply its centrifugal mechanical vapor recompressor system to replace fossil-fuel-based steam generation with a more efficient, sustainable, and electrified solution at a sugar production factory. Currently, the factory uses a gas-fired boiler to produce steam for the evaporation columns that concentrate sugar juice. The MVR system will instead recover low-pressure vapor generated in the final evaporation stage—vapor that would otherwise be emitted into the atmosphere—and upgrades it to the required process conditions.
