By early next year, Baker Hughes is scheduled to complete fabrication of the electric-powered integrated compressor line (ICL) packages and other turbomachinery equipment for the Driftwood Pipeline’s Line 200, as part of a contract signed in 2022.

Baker Hughes chairman and CEO Lorenzo Simonelli said: “This agreement builds on the established collaboration between Baker Hughes and Tellurian as we continue to execute on our scope for the Driftwood Pipeline 200, which includes providing zero-emissions ICL compressor packages for their first deployment in North America.”
