Chiyoda Corporation is pleased to announce that the joint venture among Chiyoda International Corporation, a U.S. based wholly-owned subsidiary of Chiyoda, Zachry Group and McDermott International Inc. has been awarded an Engineering, Procurement and Construction contract by Golden Pass Products LLC, a joint venture between Qatar Petroleum and ExxonMobil affiliates, to build the export LNG project in Sabine, Texas.

The scope of work includes engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning for the LNG liquefaction and export facilities with a production capacity of around 16 million tons of LNG per year (approximately 5.2 MTPA x 3 trains) and is scheduled to be operational in 2024. The new facility will be located at the site of the existing Golden Pass LNG import terminal in Sabine Pass, Texas.


“Qatar Petroleum and ExxonMobil are premier global producers of LNG, and have been major customers of Chiyoda over four decades. This award to construct the Golden Pass LNG export project symbolizes the continued trust and confidence that Qatar Petroleum and ExxonMobil have in the performance and strength of Chiyoda to successfully deliver this project toward completion,” said Masaji Santo, President & CEO. “Based on the lessons learned from recent U.S. Gulf Coast project experiences, our risk management system has been significantly reinforced. The partnership has been structured to emphasize the strengths of each partner including an appropriate level of risk management.”
