据管道新闻网3月28日消息称，Tellurian公司已发出有限通知，根据其已执行的工程、采购和建设(EPC)合同，开始建设Driftwood LNG终端的一期工程，该终端是路易斯安那州Lake Charles附近的LNG出口设施。

Driftwood LNG 是一个每年约 2760 万吨的液化出口设施。第一阶段将包括两个液化天然气工厂，出口能力高达1100万吨/年。Driftwood已经获得了所有施工和运营所需的主要许可证，已经完成了大约30%的详细工程，并完成了约1200英亩房地产的购买和租赁，确保了一个理想的建筑场地，有充足的铺设和深水航运通道。

该公司总裁兼首席执行官Octávio Sim?es表示:“能源安全是当今许多国家的首要问题，美国必须尽我们的一份力量，尽快向全球市场供应液化天然气。现在开始施工，Tellurian可以在2026年完成项目融资的同时，按照我们强大的计划交付第一批液化天然气。我们在Driftwood LNG的详细工程和主要设备订单方面处于领先地位，并且我们已经完成了所有业主要求我们将该场地移交给Bechtel的项目。”

Bechtel 的第一项活动包括拆除、土建场地准备和关键地基的建设，贝克休斯将推进项目第一阶段所需的两台天然气涡轮机的制造。

Bechtel 首席运营官 Craig Albert 表示：“我们非常自豪和荣幸能够继续与 Tellurian 在 Driftwood LNG 项目上建立长期合作伙伴关系。很明显，世界需要这种来自美国的可靠能源。我们很高兴现在将重点转移到该领域开始建设。”

Tellurian’s Driftwood LNG Facility Begins Construction

Tellurian Inc. has issued a limited notice to proceed to Bechtel Energy Inc. under its executed engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contract to begin construction of phase one of the Driftwood LNG terminal, an LNG export facility near Lake Charles, Louisiana.

Driftwood LNG is an approximately 27.6 million tonnes per annum (mtpa) liquefaction export facility. Phase one will include two LNG plants with an export capacity of up to 11 mtpa. Driftwood has received all the major permits required for construction and operation, has progressed detailed engineering to approximately 30% complete, and has finalized the purchase and lease of approximately 1,200 acres of real estate ensuring an ideal construction site with ample laydown and deepwater access for shipping.

“Energy security is a leading concern in many countries today and the United States must do our part to supply LNG to the global market as quickly as possible,” Octávio Sim?es, president and CEO, said. “Beginning construction now allows Tellurian to deliver upon our robust schedule for first LNG in 2026 while we complete the project financing. We are well advanced in Driftwood LNG’s detailed engineering and major equipment orders, and we have completed all the owners’ projects required for us to turn the site over to Bechtel.”

Bechtel’s first activities include demolition, civil site preparation and construction of critical foundations, and Baker Hughes will progress manufacturing two of the natural gas turbines required for phase one of the project.

“We are very proud and honored to continue our long partnership with Tellurian on the Driftwood LNG project,” Craig Albert, COO of Bechtel, said. “It is as apparent as ever that the world needs this reliable source of energy from the USA. And we are excited to now shift our focus to the field to begin construction.”
