GE and Sabine Pass Liquefaction, a subsidiary of Cheniere Energy Partners, L.P. ('Cheniere Partners') have entered into a $1 billion, 20+-year service contract under which GE will provide spare parts and planned inspections, maintenance services and round-the-clock technical support for the gas turbines and refrigerant compressors on the first four LNG trains currently under construction at the Sabine Pass LNG export facility. Each train will have six gas turbines and is expected to have nominal capacity to produce approximately 4.5 million metric tons per annum (mtpa) of LNG.
'We need the right technology and service partner to support our facilities and ensure that we can deliver reliable production from our Sabine Pass LNG export facility. Our trains will have 24 GE gas turbines that will drive the refrigerant compressors,' said Keith Teague, president and COO, Cheniere Energy Partners, L.P. 'GE's ability to service the equipment and provide full on-site technical support to ensure optimal reliability was an important factor in our selection. Support for our terminal will come from their Houston, Cincinnati and Atlanta facilities as well as other locations across the United States.'
