Baker Hughes Secures Substantial Equipment and Services Awards for Cheniere’s Sabine Pass LNG Facility
(NASDAQ: BKR) Baker Hughes announced three substantial awards for Cheniere’s Sabine Pass LNG facility in Cameron Parish, Louisiana, comprising orders from Bechtel Energy Inc. (Bechtel) and Cheniere to supply liquefaction equipment for Train 7 and a boil-off gas re-liquefaction unit, as well as an award for fleet-wide gas turbine technology upgrades. The equipment orders for Phase 1 of the Sabine Pass expansion project include seven PGT25+ G4 gas turbines driving 15 centrifugal compressors, enabling approximately 6 million tons per annum (MTPA) of additional LNG production capacity. Baker Hughes will deliver upgrades across the entire fleet of installed aeroderivative PGT25+ G4 gas turbines at the Sabine Pass facility over a four-year period. These upgrades will help to increase the power output of the turbines to enhance LNG production capabilities, supporting the facility’s current approximate 30 MTPA capacity. The upgrades, together with Train 7 and the boil-off gas re-liquefaction unit, are expected to add over 6 MTPA of capacity at Sabine Pass. The awards were booked in the second quarter. Baker Hughes provides solutions to energy and industrial customers worldwide and conducts business in over 120 countries.

Mexico: TotalEnergies Ships to Asia the Very
(LSE:TTE, NYSE:TTE) TotalEnergies has shipped to Asia the very first cargo from ECA LNG Phase 1, a liquefied natural gas (LNG) export terminal currently under commissioning on Mexico’s Pacific Coast, in Baja California. TotalEnergies holds a 16.6% stake in the project alongside operator Sempra Infrastructure and will offtake 1.7 million tonnes per year (Mtpa) of LNG for 20 years from the start of commercial operations. ECA LNG Phase 1 consists of a single-train liquefaction facility with a nameplate LNG capacity of 3.25 million tonnes per annum (Mtpa), supplied with U.S. feed gas sourced from the Permian Basin in Texas and New Mexico. TotalEnergies is the world’s third largest LNG player with a global portfolio of 44 million tonnes in 2025 and access to more than 20 Mtpa of regasification capacity in Europe. The project is expected to reach substantial completion in the summer 2026, with long-term LNG sales agreements taking effect shortly thereafter as the facility enters commercial operations. TotalEnergies’ ambition is to increase the share of natural gas in its sales mix to close to 50% by 2030. A second larger phase is also under development at the same site.
Sempra Infrastructure's ECA LNG Phase 1 Exports First LNG Cargo from Mexico's Pacific Coast
(NYSE: SRE) Sempra Infrastructure, a subsidiary of Sempra, announced that the ECA LNG Phase 1 project in Ensenada, Mexico, has safely and successfully loaded and shipped its first cargo of liquefied natural gas (LNG). The ECA LNG Phase 1 consists of a single liquefaction train with nameplate capacity of 3.25 million tonnes per annum (Mtpa) of LNG. The project is a joint venture with TotalEnergies and is supported by long-term sale and purchase agreements with TotalEnergies and Mitsui & Co. The project is expected to reach substantial completion in the summer of 2026, with sales under long-term sale and purchase agreements commencing shortly thereafter, when the facility begins commercial operations. A second and significantly larger phase is also under active development at the same site. Sempra Infrastructure is headquartered in Houston and is focused on developing, building, operating and investing in modern energy infrastructure in North America. The ECA LNG facility is described as a cornerstone of Sempra Infrastructure's dual-coast LNG portfolio.
GMG Board Approves Capital for Engineering of Factory for Graphene Factories
(TSXV: GMG) Graphene Manufacturing Group Ltd. announced that its Board of Directors has approved AU$1.2 million in capital expenditure for the next stage of detailed design, engineering and long-lead procurement for its next-generation graphene manufacturing plant. The planned Fulcrum Facility will be located in GMG's newly leased warehouse in Richlands, near the existing GMG "Boundary" Facility (HQ) in Queensland, Australia. The Fulcrum Facility will include an area for assembling Graphene Modular Production Units (MPU's) and a separate operating area for up to 5 separate Graphene MPU's, each with an estimated capacity of up to 20 tonnes per annum. Once fully completed and optimised, the Fulcrum Facility is expected to have annual production capacity of up to 100 tonnes of graphene and to assemble and commission up to 12 additional MPU's per annum, equivalent to a further 240 tonnes of annual graphene production capacity. The facility is also expected to be largely self-powered through standalone energy generation using renewable sources, an energy storage system and hydrogen-enriched natural gas supplied by tail gas power generation. GMG is progressing site selection and government approvals studies for locating a graphene production facility in both USA and Canada. The company projects that optimisation of the Gen 2.0 Plant for graphene quality, production rate, graphene packing, and self-power generation will not be completed until the end of 2026.
Ignitis Secures Additional Long-term Capacity
(LSE/AIM:IGN) AB “Ignitis grupė” announced that its subsidiary UAB “Ignitis” has additionally secured 2 TWh of annual regasification capacity at the Klaipėda LNG terminal on the secondary market for the period of 2033–2044. On 10 June 2026, the Group announced that it had reserved 4 TWh of annual regasification capacity for the period 2033–2044 through the long-term capacity allocation procedure organised by KN Energies. The long-term access to the terminal is stated to provide greater flexibility in planning gas supplies, enables the diversification of supply sources and strengthens energy resilience in Lithuania and the Baltic region.
