自由港LNG项目2号生产线已开始生产LNG

    据天然气加工新闻网12月6日报道，麦克德莫特国际公司与其合作伙伴Chiyoda国际公司和Zachry集团宣布位于德克萨斯州自由港的金塔纳岛的自由港液化天然气项目的2号生产线已开始生产液化天然气（LNG）。这一重大项目成就是首批货物的先兆。

    麦克德莫特负责北美、中南美洲的高级副总裁马克·科西奥(MarkCoscio)表示，2号生产线的首液是自由港液化天然气项目的另一大成就。随着跟进2号生产线的首批货物，我们赞扬项目团队为推动自由港液化天然气安全完成而付出的努力和承诺。

    作为合资企业负责人，Zachry Group于2011年与麦克德莫特合作进行Pre-FEED，随后FEED作为生产线1号和2号的一站式解决方案提供商，致力于支持该项目的早期开发阶段。后来，Chiyoda加入合资伙伴关系，从事3号生产线相关的工作。该项目范围包括三个预加工生产线、有三条生产线的液化厂、一个第二装载泊位和一个容量为16.5万立方米的全密闭液化天然气储罐。

    自由港LNG项目2号和3号生产线仍按计划进行，3号生产线的LNG初始生产定于2020年第一季度。

    McDermott, Chiyoda and Zachry Group first liquid from Freeport LNG Train 2

    McDermott International, Inc. with its partners, Chiyoda International Corporation and Zachry Group, today announced that Train 2 of the Freeport LNG project on Quintana Island in Freeport, Texas, has begun producing liquefied natural gas (LNG). This significant project achievement is a precursor to first cargo.

    "First liquid for Train 2 is another great accomplishment for the Freeport LNG project," said Mark Coscio, McDermott's Senior Vice President for North, Central and South America. "As we progress to first cargo for Train 2, we applaud the diligence and commitment of the project team for driving Freeport LNG toward a safe completion."

    Zachry Group, as the joint venture lead, partnered with McDermott for the Pre-FEED in 2011, followed by FEED works to support the early development stage of the project as a one-stop shop solution provider for Trains 1 and 2. Later Chiyoda joined the joint venture partnership for work related to Train 3. The project scope includes three pre-treatment trains, a liquefaction facility with three trains, a second loading berth and a 165,000 m3 full containment LNG storage tank.

    Freeport LNG Trains 2 and 3 remain on schedule with Train 3 initial production of LNG scheduled for Q1 of 2020.
