Tecnimont USA Secures FEED Contract for Argent LNG Project
Tecnimont USA Inc., a subsidiary of MAIRE's company, has signed a Front-End-Engineering Design (FEED) contract with Argent LNG, LLC to support the development of its planned large-scale export facility at Port Fourchon, Louisiana.
The FEED phase will establish the project's detailed technical framework while improving execution certainty and supporting bankability. Tecnimont USA will conduct engineering activities, provide technical assistance for permitting, and integrate critical technology packages required for the LNG export facility.
Argent LNG's proposed facility is designed to have a total LNG production capacity of 25 million tonnes per annum (MTPA). The project could strengthen long-term US LNG export capacity, increasing demand for natural gas, LNG infrastructure, steel, and other industrial inputs. Construction is expected to begin after the Final Investment Decision (FID) and first cargo is targeted by 2030.
