Argent LNG and Tecnimont Sign Strategic Term Sheet to Align Project Execution

Strategic framework supports modular LNG development at Port Fourchon, emphasizing execution certainty, scalability, and bankable technologies.

METAIRIE, LA, UNITED STATES, January 21, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Argent LNG,LLC and Tecnimont S.p.A.,the engineering and construction arm of MAIRE Group, today announced theexecution of a term sheet establishing a strategic framework for Tecnimont’s  participation and long-term executionalignment in the Argent LNG export project.

The term sheet reflects a shared intent to align engineering execution anddevelopment discipline as the project advances through front-end engineeringand design (FEED), regulatory permitting with the U.S. Federal EnergyRegulatory Commission (FERC), and toward final investment decision (FID). Theframework is intended to strengthen project governance, enhance technicalrigor, and support a capital-efficient development pathway aligned with theexpectations of regulators, lenders, and global LNG customers.

Argent LNG is developing a modular LNG export facility at Port Fourchon,Louisiana—one of the United States’ most strategically located andhurricane-resilient energy hubs, with direct access to deepwater andestablished Gulf Coast infrastructure. The project is structured around amodular development philosophy designed to reduce upfront capital requirements,compress construction schedules, and enable phased scalability, positioning theplatform as a replicable model for future LNG developments.

The Argent LNG platform has been engineered around modular solutions fromglobally recognized technology leaders, including Baker Hughes, Honeywell UOP,ABB, and GTT. Early-stage integration of liquefaction, pretreatment, power,automation, and LNG containment systems is intended to enhance execution certainty,reduce interface risk, and support a disciplined and bankable pathway to FID.

Under the framework established by the term sheet, Argent LNG and Tecnimontintend to further integrate engineering definition, constructability analysis,and execution planning at an early stage of development. Tecnimont’s proposedparticipation reflects confidence in Argent LNG’s modular design strategy,regulatory approach, and execution framework, as well as the project’sstrategic location and long-term relevance to global energy markets.

“This term sheet represents a meaningful alignment between capital,engineering, and execution,” said Jonathan Bass, Chairman of Argent LNG.“Engaging a Tier-1 global engineering organization at this stage underscoresthe seriousness, discipline, and long-term vision behind the Argent LNGplatform. Our objective is to deliver a project that meets the higheststandards of technical excellence, regulatory credibility, and capitalefficiency.”

“Our collaboration with Argent LNG is grounded in a shared focus on executionquality, technical rigor, and disciplined project development,” said AlessandroBernini, Chief Executive Officer of MAIRE. “The term sheet establishes aframework to further align our interests as the project progresses through itsnext phases.”

 The agreement represents one step withina broader, phased collaboration strategy designed to advance the projectthrough clearly sequenced engineering, regulatory, and commercial milestones.
