McDermott Executes Contract Amendment for Golden Pass LNG Trains 2 and 3
McDermott and its joint venture partner, Chiyoda International Corporation (CIC), have signed a contract amendment with Golden Pass LNG Terminal LLC (GPLNG) to complete Trains 2 and 3 of the Golden Pass LNG Project in Sabine Pass, Texas.
The amendment follows a similar agreement finalized in November 2024 for the engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) of Train 1. In June 2025, McDermott, Chiyoda, and Golden Pass LNG reached binding terms outlining key elements of the remaining work for Trains 2 and 3. Under the updated arrangement, McDermott will continue serving as the joint venture’s lead partner in constructing the three LNG trains, each with a capacity of approximately 6.0 million tons per annum (MTPA).
This amendment reaffirms the ongoing partnership among the parties and their shared commitment to delivering the project safely and efficiently.
"We remain committed to working closely with Golden Pass LNG and Chiyoda to complete this important energy infrastructure project," said Michael McKelvy, President and Chief Executive Officer of McDermott. "We look forward to continuing to apply our expertise, capabilities and best practices on Trains 2 and 3, and providing employment and development opportunities for the local community."
At peak, the project will employ approximately 9,000 people during the construction phase and over 300 people once operational.
