Plaquemines LNG: Worley Manning Up Fast — Per Diem Holding at $128

Worley is ramping crew sizes at the Plaquemines LNG terminal in Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana. Members currently on site report consistent per diem at $128/day, which is below several of the other major LNG terminals but reflects the Venture Global rate structure that has been publicized for this project. The thirty-month duration and steady hiring pace make this worth tracking even if the per diem rate is not at the top of the Gulf Coast range. Plaquemines Parish is south of New Orleans on the Mississippi River delta — genuinely remote. Plan your housing situation before you mobilize. Belle Chasse is the closest town with meaningful services and it is a limited market. New Orleans is approximately 40 miles out and offers full hotel and extended stay options, but that adds significant drive time to a 6am start. Members who are committing to this job for the duration are finding weekly rentals in the Belle Chasse and Harvey areas to be more practical than daily hotel costs. The craft mix on this project includes UA Pipefitters, Boilermakers, IBEW, and Ironworkers. The Venture Global contract has been a point of discussion in the labor community — members should confirm current agreement status with their local before mobilizing. Verify the rate in writing before you accept the dispatch. The scale of Plaquemines LNG is significant. When complete it will be among the largest LNG export facilities in the United States. The work is real and the timeline is funded. For members who can manage the location logistics, it is a legitimate long-duration job on a project that matters. Check with your BA on the current dispatch status before making travel plans.
