CB&I congratulates Cameron liquefaction sponsors on FID

CB&I has congratulated the Cameron liquefaction project sponsors for approving a final investment decision (FID) for the development, construction and operation of the LNG export project planned in Hackberry, Louisiana.

Project sponsors

The sponsors are Sempra LNG, GDF Suez, Mitsui & Co., Ltd. and Mitsubishi Corporation through a related company jointly established with Nippon Yusen Kabushiki Kaisha.

The three-train natural gas liquefaction facilities will have an export capability of 12 million tpa of LNG, or approximately 1.7 billion ft³/d. Subject to final regulatory approval, satisfaction of conditions of the initial equity funding and first disbursement of the financing, construction on the project is expected to begin by the end of 2014. All three trains are expected to commence operations during 2018, with the first full year of operations in 2019.
