HOUSTON — EXP has announced it is partnering with Galveston LNG Bunker Port (GLBP) to help develop a new natural gas liquefication facility in the Texas city.

The Galveston LNG Bunkering Port project will produce 600,000 gallons per day of LNG to contribute to the marine bunker fuel market in the Galveston Bay and Western Gulf of Mexico region, stated a release.

EXP is an engineering, architecture, design and consulting firm. The company will provide environmental and regulatory support for the development of the facility.
