Freeport LNG Train 3 Begins Commercial Operation

McDermott International Inc with its partners, Chiyoda International Corporation and Zachry Group, announced the beginning of commercial operation of Train 3 of the Freeport LNG project, owned by Freeport LNG Development LP. Zachry Group, as the joint venture lead, partnered with McDermott for the Pre-FEED in 2011, followed by FEED works to support the early development stage of the project as a one-stop shop solution provider for Trains 1 and 2. Later Chiyoda joined the joint venture partnership for work related to Train 3. The project scope includes three pre-treatment trains, a liquefaction facility with three trains, a second loading berth and a 165,000 m3 full containment LNG storage tank. The Freeport LNG facility incorporates the largest electric motor-driven refrigeration compressors in the world and, now with full commercial operations, will significantly improve North America's energy export capabilities.
