KBR wins Oman LNG contract
Oman The Siemens Industrial Trent 60 is one of the most advanced aero-derivative gas turbines available today. The units powering the Dolphin Gas Project can provide up to 50 megawatts (MW) at 42.5 percent efficiency. The Industrial Trent 60, featuring Rolls-Royce Aero Engine technology, is ideally suited to meet the higher power, variable speed demands required by applications like natural gas liquefaction, gas transportation and gas injection for oil recovery.
KBR announced the deal in a press release on Monday, saying it was tasked with helping to select an EPC contractor for the plant during the three-year contract.
The plant project aims to reduce fuel gas consumption and greenhouse gas emissions, the company said.
“We are proud of the pivotal role that KBR has played in the development of this project during the pre-FEED and FEED phases and are excited to continue to grow our substantial presence in the Middle East through this contract,” said Jay Ibrahim, KBR president for Europe, Middle East and Africa and Asia-Pacific.
As Oman’s sole global exporter of LNG, Oman LNG operates a three-train plant with a capacity of 10.4 million tonnes per year in Qalhat, Sur.
