Project Overview:

The PALNG Project involves construction of a grassroots liquefaction and export facility along the Sabine-Neches waterway in Port Arthur, Texas. The Project is located in Southeast Texas on a region of land off the Sabine-Neches Waterway, which is connected to the Gulf of Mexico and the Intracoastal Waterway. Bechtel’s scope includes:  Two liquefaction trains, with capacity of producing 6.73 million tons per annum, Two 160,000 m³. LNG tanks, A marine facility with up to two LNG berths, A Material Offloading Facility (MOF) and two Pioneer construction docks, Condensate loading and refrigerant unloading truck facilities and all other associated facilities and utilities, including electrical power, condensate and refrigerate storage, and flares. Feed gas for liquefaction will be supplied though a high pressure 42”-diameter, underground pipeline transporting interstate quality natural gas from multiple supply regions and reservoirs. Construction of the project will utilize approximately 937 acres of undeveloped land, wetlands, and open water; of which approximately 900 acres will be altered and repurposed for construction of the PALNG liquefaction facility.
