The two firms announced a strategic alliance in a joint statement on Monday to advance the Glenfarne-led Alaska LNG project.
In addition to compressors, Baker Hughes will also supply power generation equipment for the North Slope gas treatment plant.
The partners did not reveal further information regarding the contract or the strategic investment by Baker Hughes.
Glenfarne is developing Alaska LNG in two financially independent phases to accelerate project execution.
Phase One consists of an 807-mile, 42-inch pipeline to transport natural gas from Alaska’s North Slope to meet Alaska’s domestic energy needs.
According to the statement, Australian engineering firm Worley is expected to complete final engineering and cost analysis for the pipeline in December, leading to a final investment decision on this phase of the project.
Phase Two of the project will add the LNG terminal and related infrastructure to enable 20 million tonnes per annum (mtpa) of LNG export capability and is expected to declare FID in late 2026, the statement said.
Earlier this year, Glenfarne signed definitive agreements with state-owned Alaska Gasline Development Corporation to become the majority owner of the giant Alaska LNG export project.
Since then, Glenfarne has secured preliminary commercial commitments with leading LNG buyers in Japan, Korea, Taiwan, and Thailand for 11 mpta of LNG, more than 60 percent of the volume needed to reach FID, including recent agreements with Tokyo Gas, Jera, and Posco International, the statement said.
