Insights
Baker Hughes won a supply award from Bechtel for Train 5 at Rio Grande LNG, adding ~6 MTPA capacity and furthering a multi‑train framework.
Baker Hughes will supply primary liquefaction equipment for Train 5 under a framework that already covers Trains 4–8, including two Frame 7 gas turbines and six centrifugal compressors. The order mirrors previously deployed technology and adds a Cordant™ Asset Health digital solution for Trains 1–3 to monitor rotating equipment and offline vibration data.
The business mechanism is clear: a repeat equipment order under an existing framework delivers revenue and execution leverage while lowering engineering and interface risk because the design replicates prior trains. Key dependencies include timely project execution by Bechtel and NextDecade and adherence to the framework terms for Trains 4–8; any delays in construction or procurement would affect delivery timing and revenue recognition.
Concrete items to watch over the next construction cycle include delivery and commissioning milestones for Train 5, the cumulative capacity added by the covered trains (noted as approximately
- Award from Bechtel includes supply of the primary liquefaction equipment for NextDecade’s Rio Grande LNG Train 5
- Order includes Frame 7 gas turbines and centrifugal compressors, replicating proven solutions from previous trains
- Technology will enable an additional LNG production capacity of approximately 6 MTPA
HOUSTON and LONDON, Nov. 06, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Baker Hughes (NASDAQ: BKR), an energy technology company, announced Thursday an award from engineering company Bechtel Energy Inc.
