LNG Alliance Pte. Ltd. (LNG Alliance), an integrated provider of liquefied natural gas (LNG) export terminal infrastructure and LNG supply, has selected Chart Industries’ (Chart) Integrated Pre-cooled Single Mixed Refrigerant (IPSMR) process technology and modular liquefaction solution for its Amigo LNG export facility in Guaymas, Sonora, Mexico.
LNG Alliance will leverage Chart’s full spectrum of IPSMR solutions, including its mid-scale modular solution. Chart’s module offering incorporates Mega Bay air-cooled heat exchangers, Tuf-Lite IV fans, process vessels, valving, brazed aluminum heat exchangers, and cold boxes. This modular solution addresses the challenge of achieving the best balance between large-scale LNG facility economics and high operational efficiency.
“We are happy to partner with Chart Industries on our groundbreaking Amigo LNG project,” said Muthu Chezhian, CEO of LNG Alliance. “LNG Alliance is strategically optimizing an LNG facility with an export capacity of 7.8 MTPA by moving to a modular mid-scale solution, resulting in a smaller footprint, higher efficiency, and lower cost, therefore offering customers the most efficient and effective solution.”
Amigo LNG
Amigo LNG is a liquefaction terminal under development in the west coast of Mexico, at Guaymas, Sonora, which will export 3.9 MTPA as first train and with a potential to add a second train of 3.9 MTPA of LNG to the Asian LNG markets. Feed gas is sourced from the Permian shale basin in the US and will be transported to Mexico thru existing pipeline networks.
Earlier this year, OQ Trading, the government of Oman’s trading vehicle, entered into a 15-year definitive sales and purchase agreement (SPA) with Amigo LNG to purchase 600,000 tonnes per annum of LNG. Under the agreement, OQ Trading will source LNG from Amigo LNG’s export terminal in Guaymas, with deliveries expected to start in the second quarter of 2028.
