Chiyoda International

What Chiyoda International does

Chiyoda International Corporation is a Houston, Texas-based Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) contractor that operates as the wholly owned American subsidiary of Japan's Chiyoda Corporation. Established in 1973, the company delivers large-scale, fixed-price and cost-plus EPC contracts for LNG liquefaction and export terminals, petrochemical facilities (notably ethylene and derivatives), gas processing plants, and refining infrastructure for enterprise clients across the Oil & Gas and Chemical Processing industries. Named active US engagements include the Golden Pass LNG Project (5.2 MMTY x 3 trains, Sabine Pass, Texas), Cameron Liquefaction Project (4.5 MMTY x 3 trains, Hackberry, Louisiana), Freeport LNG Export Project (4.65 MMTY x 3 trains, Freeport, Texas), and Gulf Coast Growth Ventures Ethylene Project (1.8 MTPA, Gregory, Texas), alongside a cumulative delivered base of more than 100 projects since 1973.

The firm's core technology footprint is rooted in proprietary process and plant design capabilities: large-scale LNG liquefaction including cold-climate and floating LNG solutions; an advanced Hydrogen LOHC-MCH storage and transport system that anchors the world's first global hydrogen supply chain demonstration; CCS/CCU carbon capture; fuel ammonia applications; and synthetic e-fuel production technologies. Geographically, Chiyoda International's operations are concentrated in the US Gulf Coast — Texas and Louisiana — with all currently identified active major projects located in that corridor.

Revenue is generated almost exclusively through enterprise-scale, long-duration EPC contracts awarded via direct engagement and competitive bid with major LNG developers and petrochemical producers (Golden Pass Products, Cameron LNG, Freeport Liquefaction, Gulf Coast Growth Ventures). The company employs 101-250 staff and positions itself as an enterprise field-sales organization that leverages the parent's global engineering bench and brand recognition rather than resellers or third-party distribution. Pricing terms are not publicly disclosed, and contract economics are negotiated individually on a project basis.
