Siemens Gas and Power will supply three cryogenic boil-off gas compressor trains for the Golden Pass LNG export terminal at…

The Golden Pass LNG project comprises the construction of three liquefaction process trains, each with a nominal output of approximately 5.2 million metric tons per annum (mtpa). Construction started in the first quarter of last year and the facility is planned to start up in 2024.

Siemens’ scope of supply covers the engineering, manufacturing, and testing of the three, single-shaft centrifugal BOG compression packages, along with all installation and commissioning activities. Each of the compressor packages will be driven by a 6.8 MW electric motor. Manufacturing, testing, and packaging will take place in Duisburg, Germany.

In addition to the BOG compressor trains, Siemens will provide steam turbine generator sets as well as all necessary low-voltage electric motors and electric variable speed drives (1 – 200 horsepower) and all medium-voltage (250 – 1,500 horsepower) electric motors will also be supplied as part of a framework agreement with McDermott and partners.

“With 90% global market share and a fleet that has accumulated more than 4.2 million hours of service, Siemens Gas and Power is a worldwide leader in cryogenic boil-off gas compression,” said Matthew Russell, executive vice president of LNG for Siemens Energy’s Oil & Gas Division.

“We believe our expertise in the design and manufacturing of BOG compressors, along with our strong presence in the LNG market, played an integral role in securing the Golden Pass compression contract.”

Siemens Energy spin-off on Sept 28

By the end of September, Siemens will spin off and list its energy business. Subject to approval by the extraordinary shareholders’ meeting, the spin-off will and initial listing is to take place on the 28th of September 2020.

Shareholders will automatically receive one share of Siemens Energy for every two shares of Siemens AG, and in the following 12 to 18 months, Siemens AG intends to further reduce its stake in Siemens Energy by a “significant” amount.

Siemens CEO Joe Kaeser said called the spin-off “a major milestone in the overall realignment that is preparing the Siemens companies for the massive technological transformations that we are anticipating.”

Siemens Energy will create a strong, focused, global company with operations spanning the entire energy value chain, including the service business. Following the spin-off, the mother company Siemens AG will concentrate on Digital Industries, Smart Infrastructure and Siemens Mobility. The healthcare technology business, Siemens Healthineers, has already been publicly listed as a separately managed company since March 2018.
