March 23, 2026 [Storage Terminals Magazine]- Texas LNG Brownsville LLC, the liquefied natural gas (“LNG”) export terminal being developed in the Port of Brownsville, Texas, by Glenfarne Group, LLC (“Glenfarne”), has announced that, upon Notice to Proceed, Kiewit Offshore Services (“KOS”) will fabricate the project’s liquefaction, pretreatment and pipe rack modules. The module fabrication work represents a significant investment in skilled U.S. and Texas labour and is expected to help manage project costs and risks, owing to the advantageous in-state location of the KOS facility relative to the Texas LNG site.

The announcement follows the execution of the engineering, procurement and construction (“EPC”) agreement for Texas LNG between Glenfarne and Kiewit Energy Group earlier that month.

Brendan Duval, chief executive officer and founder of Glenfarne, stated that opting for US-based fabrication serves to derisk module supply by avoiding tariffs, geopolitical risks, heavy-lift shipping and Panama Canal transit, while also helping to ensure quality control. He noted that while an offshore option had been available, the decision was ultimately an investment in predictability and quality. Duval described the move as giving back to the state that has supported the project and expressed pride in having Texas and US craft labour fabricate the modules, calling it fitting that Texas LNG’s modules would be fabricated within Texas itself.

Oliver Wood, project director for Texas LNG, emphasised that Glenfarne is focused on promoting US jobs and manufacturing in the construction of its U.S. LNG facilities wherever economically feasible. Wood described the selection of Kiewit’s yard for the liquefaction modules as a straightforward decision, citing the facility’s proven success and experience in constructing and fabricating complex structures for other vital energy infrastructure projects.

Eric Gutierrez, executive vice president of Oil, Gas and Chemical for Kiewit Energy Group Inc., said that Kiewit is proud to have been selected by Glenfarne to construct and fabricate Texas LNG’s modules at its Ingleside, Texas yard. He noted that the work would be delivered by an experienced, highly skilled Texas workforce with a strong track record of safely delivering projects and fabrication services for clients. Gutierrez described the project as a strategic investment in Texas skilled labour and U.S. manufacturing, one expected to support hundreds of jobs in the South Texas region.

Glenfarne and Kiewit recently completed execution of the EPC contract for Texas LNG following fourteen months of pre-final investment decision (“FID”) engineering work. Texas LNG remains on schedule for a final investment decision in the second quarter of 2026.
