McDermott International and Chiyoda International said that the second train of the Cameron liquefaction project in Louisiana has entered the final commissioning stage.

The two companies jointly hold the engineering, procurement and construction contract, worth around $6 billion, for the LNG export project in Hackberry.

McDermott and Chiyoda introduced pipeline feed gas into Train 2 of the Cameron LNG project, which is a precursor for the production of liquefied natural gas (LNG).

Commenting on the milestone at the Cameron LNG Liquefaction Project, Mark Coscio -McDermott Senior Vice President for North, Central and South America, said: “Congratulations to the entire Cameron LNG project team who continues to make strides on this project and remains focused on providing stellar project delivery as we reach another notable milestone.”

In April 2019, the companies introduced feed gas to Train 1 and the following month, began production and by the end of May 2019, dispatched the first cargo from the LNG project. In August 2019, the Cameron liquefaction project entered into commercial operation through Train 1 following its substantial completion.

The Cameron LNG export project consists of three liquefaction trains with a total capacity of 13.5 million tons per year of LNG and a projected export of 12 million tonnes per annum of LNG, or nearly 1.7 billion cubic feet per day.

The LNG export project in Hackberry is jointly owned by affiliates of Sempra LNG, Total, Mitsui & Co., and Japan LNG Investment (which is jointly owned by Mitsubishi and Nippon Yusen Kabushiki Kaisha).
