Construction is planned in clearly defined phases, led by experienced EPC partners with deep expertise in large-scale energy infrastructure. Site preparation is underway at Port Fourchon, leveraging the location's existing deepwater port access and industrial supply chain. The modular approach reduces on-site construction complexity significantly — each NMBL™ liquefaction train is pre-fabricated and tested at Baker Hughes' facilities in Italy before being shipped and installed, cutting construction time by up to 30% compared to conventional LNG terminals. Phase 1 commercial operations are targeted for early 2030.

Argent LNG is the first U.S. Gulf Coast terminal designed entirely around Baker Hughes' NMBL™ modular liquefaction technology, powered by five LM9000 gas turbines — one of the most fuel-efficient drivers available in the industry. This combination delivers higher throughput per unit of fuel, lower emissions than the industry average, and factory-quality performance through pre-tested modules. The terminal also integrates advanced process control systems from ABB, Honeywell's liquefaction solutions, and GTT cryogenic tank technology, creating a fully integrated, next-generation LNG facility.

Argent LNG has assembled a strategic ecosystem of world-class technology and commercial partners to de-risk execution and accelerate delivery. Baker Hughes serves as the primary technology provider for liquefaction trains and turbines. On the commercial side, a 5 MTPA long-term agreement with Bangladesh demonstrates early market validation and offtake commitment. The project maintains active engagement across 40+ countries in Europe, Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East — regions where U.S. LNG directly addresses energy security needs. Regulatory milestones include FERC Pre-filing approval and strong legislative support from the Louisiana Senate.

Argent LNG is advancing through a structured development roadmap built around regulatory, commercial, and construction milestones. FERC Pre-filing was approved in October 2025, enabling the project to progress through the federal permitting process. The 90-year land lease at Port Fourchon provides long-term site certainty. Phase 1 — representing a $10 billion investment — is targeted to reach commercial operations by early 2030, with Phase 2 expansion following to bring total capacity to 25 MTPA. The phased structure allows the project to generate revenue and build operational track record while continuing to scale.
