Adjust LTSA and Sourcing for Growing LNG and Pipeline Activity

Since those companies pay the electricity bills over the life of the asset, they tend to focus on total cost of ownership rather than simply minimizing upfront capital expenditures

“If the end customer does not specify efficiency, we win on price, right, or something else,” Bjerhag said, explaining that many equipment suppliers continue to focus on traditional procurement criteria unless customers request alternatives. To address that challenge, ABB has encouraged OEM partners to offer high-efficiency alternatives alongside conventional equipment packages, allowing operators to compare lifecycle operating costs and energy savings against incremental capital costs

During a recent media event at ABB’s large motor and generator manufacturing facility in Västerås, Sweden, Johan Karlsson, vice president of Strategy and Business Development for Synchronous Machines, outlined how advances in high-speed synchronous motor technology are pushing efficiency levels above 99% and creating new opportunities for LNG, gas processing and other energy-intensive industries. Karlsson was joined by Gunnar Porsby, R&D manager for High-Speed Synchronous Machines, who detailed the technical i

Alongside its Gulf Coast projects, the facility is intended to provide customers with greater flexibility in accessing global LNG markets while supporting growing demand for natural gas in Asia. The company is also advancing plans for a second phase of development at the Ensenada site, which would further expand LNG export capacity from Mexico’s Pacific Coast

Located in Baja California, the ECA LNG terminal is strategically positioned to export LNG to Asian markets without requiring vessels to transit the Panama Canal, offering shorter shipping routes and potentially lower transportation costs compared with Gulf Coast facilities

ECA LNG is a central component of Sempra Infrastructure’s strategy to build a dual-coast LNG export portfolio. Alongside its Gulf Coast projects, the facility is intended to provide customers with greater flexibility in accessing global LNG markets while supporting growing demand for natural gas in Asia

By using a standardized design and project delivery model, the partners aim to reduce execution risk, improve schedule certainty and capture lessons learned from the earlier project. The replication strategy is particularly significant for the LNG industry, where cost inflation and project delays have challenged many new developments

“The Coral Norte project reflects the confidence of Eni and its partners in our FLNG execution capabilities and in the performance in operations of the Coral South FLNG,” said Arnaud Pieton, chief executive officer of Technip Energies. “By leveraging our ‘design one, build many’ approach, we are demonstrating how a standardized model can accelerate large-scale offshore project delivery

Among the largest projects currently under construction is the Rio Bravo Pipeline Project, a 138-mile pipeline with capacity of up to 4

6 Bcf/d, of the planned capacity is already under construction

According to EIA, the Texas projects are designed primarily to increase takeaway capacity from the Permian Basin and alleviate constraints at the Waha Hub, a key pricing and trading point in West Texas that has experienced periodic bottlenecks as production growth has outpaced available transportation capacity. Among the largest projects currently under construction is the Rio Bravo Pipeline Project, a 138-mile pipeline with capacity of up to 4
