HOUSTON - Baker Hughes announced Thursday an award from engineering company Bechtel Energy Inc. (Bechtel) to supply primary liquefaction equipment for Train 5 of NextDecade’s Rio Grande LNG Facility in the Port of Brownsville, Texas.

The award follows a recent order for Train 4 and is part of a previously established framework agreement covering a variety of Baker Hughes equipment and associated contractual services for Trains 4 through 8.

Mirroring the proven technology solution deployed in previous trains, the Train 5 order includes two Frame 7 gas turbines, known for their proven reliability and energy efficiency, and six centrifugal compressors. These advanced solutions, designed to deliver efficiency and lower emissions, will support an additional LNG capacity of approximately 6 MTPA at the facility.

In addition, Baker Hughes is also providing an additional digital solution for Rio Grande’s Trains 1 to 3 through the deployment of Cordant™ Asset Health. Next Decade will utilize Cordant to support its equipment monitoring and failure diagnostics for critical rotating equipment, as well as its cloud-based visualization solution for offline vibration data.

ADIPEC, Abu Dhabi, UAE - GE Vernova Inc. announced the start of commercial operations for the Jafurah Cogeneration Independent Steam and Power Plant (ISPP). The announcement was made in conjunction with ADIPEC 2025 in Abu Dhabi, UAE.

The plant, located approximately 125 kilometers southeast of Dammam, Saudi Arabia, received a comprehensive solution from GE Vernova. This included the core power plant equipment, specifically its 7HA.01 gas turbine, and a 20-year service agreement covering maintenance and parts supply.

The facility is designed as a cogeneration plant, which maximizes energy efficiency by capturing and reusing excess heat or steam. The plant is expected to deliver up to 314 tons/hour of steam and up to 320 megawatts (MW) of electricity. This output is intended to support operations at the nearby Jafurah gas field. By 2030, the Jafurah gas field is projected to produce up to 630,000 barrels of natural gas liquids and condensates, and over 420 million standard cubic feet of ethane daily.

This project marks the completion of GE Vernova’s first H-Class gas turbine in Saudi Arabia. The company's Saudi Arabian operations, including the GE Saudi Advanced Turbines (GESAT) facility, were involved in the delivery of the turbine. GESAT, which became wholly owned by GE Vernova in September 2024, is part of the GE Manufacturing & Technology Center (GEMTEC) campus and supports the localization of gas turbine completion and manufacturing in the Kingdom. GE Vernova has had a presence in Saudi Arabia’s energy infrastructure development for approximately 90 years.

The commencement of operations at the Jafurah Cogeneration ISPP provides critical power and steam for the Jafurah gas field, a major energy project in Saudi Arabia. The plant's high-efficiency cogeneration design supports the optimization of energy resources. Furthermore, the use of a turbine completed and delivered through the GESAT facility aligns with the goals of Saudi Vision 2030 for industrial localization, economic diversification, and strengthening the country's domestic power sector capabilities. The new power generation capacity supports the Kingdom's efforts to increase gas production and secure its energy supply for growing industrial and residential demand.
