据彭博社8月20日休斯顿报道，麦克德莫特国际公司及其合作伙伴千代达国际公司和扎克里集团今天宣布，德克萨斯州自由港金塔纳岛自由港液化天然气项目的一号生产线已经开始生产液化天然气。

扎克里集团作为合资企业的领导者，于2011年与麦克德莫特合作进行前期FEED，随后FEED致力于支持作为一站式解决方案提供商的项目1号和2号生产线的早期开发阶段。后来千代田加入了合资企业，联合团队为项目的3号生产线提供了工程、采购和设施建设以及调试和初始运营。项目范围包括三条预处理生产线、三条液化设施、两条装载泊位和一个165，000 立方米的全密封液化天然气储罐。

自由港液化天然气2号和3号生产线仍在生产中，以满足其先前宣布的生产计划，2号生产线的液化天然气初始生产计划于2019年第4季度进行，3号生产线液化天然气初始生产计划于2020年在Q1进行。

First liquid achieved at Freeport LNG Train 1

McDermott International, along with its partners, Chiyoda International and Zachry Group, today announced that Train 1 of the Freeport LNG project on Quintana Island in Freeport, Texas, has begun producing LNG.

"When a facility starts producing a product, it is always a notable achievement, especially for large-scale projects, such as Freeport LNG," said Mark Coscio, McDermott's senior vice president for North, Central and South America. "We are proud of the project team, which has worked hard to accomplish this milestone with exceptional safety performance during the construction phase. We look forward to celebrating first cargo for Train 1 soon with the same focus to safety and quality."

Zachry Group, as the joint venture lead, partnered with McDermott for the Pre-FEED in 2011, followed by FEED works to support the early development stage of Trains 1 and 2 of the project as a one-stop shop solution provider. Later Chiyoda joined the venture and the joint team provided engineering, procurement and facility construction as well as commissioning and initial operations for Train 3 of the project. The project scope includes three pre-treatment trains, a liquefaction facility with three trains, a second loading berth and a 165,000 m3 full containment LNG storage tank.

Freeport LNG Trains 2 and 3 remain on track to meet their previously announced schedules, with Train 2 initial production of LNG scheduled for Q4 of 2019 and Train 3 initial production of LNG scheduled for Q1 of 2020.
