The supplier‑investor deal advances a two‑phase plan with December pipeline engineering set to guide the first investment decision.
Overview

- Baker Hughes will provide main refrigerant compressors for the Nikiski liquefaction terminal and power generation equipment for the North Slope gas treatment plant.
