ARLINGTON, Virginia, April 28, 2020 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --
Venture Global LNG, Inc. is pleased to announce the successful raising of the
first LNG storage tank roof at the company's Calcasieu Pass LNG export facility
in Cameron Parish, Louisiana. This major project milestone was completed on
schedule and comes a mere eight months after the project's final investment
decision (FID).

The 1.8 million pound tank dome and assembly were air raised into place on
Friday, April 24th. Air raising allows for better and safer access as well as
a faster construction schedule, as the roof can be erected concurrently with
the shell. CB&I Storage Tank Solutions, a division of McDermott International,
Inc., is constructing the project's dual 200,000 m(3) tanks and has air raised
more than 1000 roofs since 1962. The tank dome was raised in less than 2 hours
using 0.25 psi of pressure.
Venture Global is also proud to announce that the export facility's marine
perimeter wall (including access road gates) and levee are now complete,
securing the site. Weeks Marine and the project's EPC contractor, Kiewit,
worked together to complete this scope three months ahead of schedule. With
the site now fully protected, the focus turns to the arrival and installation
of the project's modular equipment. The first piperack modules arrived at the
site and were successfully installed in April, and equipment for the project's
720 MW combined cycle gas turbine power plant is scheduled to begin arriving
next month.
The safe and successful roof raise and the completion of these other milestones
are a reflection of the company's continued commitment to execution and
safety. The project has now exceeded more than 4.7 million work hours without
a recordable incident.
