The lump-sum turnkey (LSTK) EPC contracts are for the first phase of the Rio Grande LNG project, which consists of three liquefaction trains, two 180,000 cubic metre storage tanks and two marine berths totalling US$9.565bn. Each liquefaction train is expected to have capacity up to 5.87m tonnes per annum of LNG, which would generate an EPC cost of approximately US$543 per tonne for the first three trains.<\/p>\n
