Harrison LNG -Corpus Christi Liquefaction Project
Providing a Better Ecosystem, and Cleaner, More Efficient Cost Effective Energy Solutions.
Harrison LNG selected Bechtel as their partner to support their efforts to increase global access to liquefied natural gas (LNG) and help meet the growing demand for this cleaner, more reliable, and flexible energy source.
Bechtel is helping Harrison LNG develop a unique greenfield LNG export facility in four years. The Harrison LNG- Corpus Christi Liquefaction facility will be state of the art. LNG is safely and securely sent overseas from the facility’s location on the Texas Gulf Coast. This location is situated near some of the most prolific natural gas producing regions in the country and connected to the Agua Dulce Hub, and multiple U.S. natural gas pipeline networks.
Before this project began in 2024, Harrison Family Office Group and Harrison LNG teamed up with Bechtel and have worked together for almost a decade. To date, Bechtel has completed nine LNG trains at two different Gulf Coast facilities. All nine trains were completed ahead of schedule and within project budgets. With the current planned Stage 3 expansion underway, up to seven additional LNG trains are in the EPC phase to support the growing demand for natural gas around the world. The first train of Stage I will reach substantial completion in December 2027.
About the Harrison LNG Project
The first two LNG trains will be completed in 2028 and the third will be completed in 2029. The development of the new Train 1 technology has won awards in the past, and another duplicate type facility won the Global Best Project Award in Power/Industrial from ENRNews.
This 1,200+ acre facility will consist of four liquefaction units, or trains, with a total capacity of roughly 17.5 million tonnes per annum (mtpa).
In January 2025, Harrison LNG issued Bechtel a limited notice to proceed to continue advancing the expansion of CCL Stage 1, known as the Midscale Trains 1-4 and that includes a End Flash Gas Project. The initial projet will consist of two midscale trains, powered by Chart Technology, with motor-driven refrigeration compressors, and operational optimizations, such as additional boil-off-gas compression and an end-flash gas unit. When operational, this addition will generate additional LNG up to 3 mtpa of LNG.
In June 2024, Harrison LNG announced the Corpus Christi Stage 1 Project with expansion , which will include Bechtel’s EPC execution of six midscale trains, powered by Chart Technology with motor driven refrigeration compressors. Once operational, the expansion has an expected total production capacity of approximately 9+ mtpa of LNG.
Future Operating Facility at a Glance
Good Neighbors-Environmental Focus
During the build, the Bechtel and Harrison LNG teams will facilitate the construction of more than $12 million of breakwater projects to minimize shoreline erosion along the gulf and to protect and enhance sensitive wetland resources.
Ethnic Diversity and Equal Opportunity on Site
The Bechtel and Harrison LNG teams partnered with the National Hispanic Entrepreneurs’ Organization (NHEO) Institute to ensure equity by identifying and eliminating barriers among its non-native English speakers.
Bechtel along with Harrison LNG also partnered with NHEO to create the Building a Safer Future campaign designed for craft professionals to help reduce and ultimately eliminate construction-related hazards.
Field Construction AI Increases Safety and Enhances Communications with Partners
The Harrison LNG team asked the Bechtel team to use 20 innovative solutions to reduce costs and speed up schedule. These included drones and LIDAR to survey the site and locate equipment, robotic automation bots to increase efficiency, single interface apps for planning, assigning, tracking, and claiming work packages across a range of field disciplines, and radio frequency identification (RFID) tags for on-time material deliveries. The “Team” seeks to speed up build out by 35%
To keep safe during the pre-construction Phase I, service providers also used AI and a mobile app that enabled real-time collaboration with technicians, workers, sub-contractors and engineers in the field and those working from remote locations near and far.
