Siemens inks 18-year Qatar gas contract
Qatar Die Siemens Industrial Trent 60 ist eine der fortschrittlichsten aero-derivativen Gasturbinen, die heute verfügbar sind. Die Anlagen, die für das Dolphin Gas Projekt im Einsatz sind, liefern eine Leistung von bis zu 50 Megawatt bei einem Wirkungsgrad von 42,5 Prozent. Die Industrial Trent 60 Gasturbine eignet sich bestens für Anwendungen wie die Verflüssigung sowie den Transport von Erdgas oder die Injektion von Gas zur Ölgewinnung. 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.
The German technology giant saw its present contract extended by 18 years. The scope of work includes providing services and maintenance for nine Rolls-Royce aero-derivative gas turbines and their related Dresser-Rand compressors.
UAE-headquartered Dolphin Energy operates the Ras Laffan gas compression and processing complex in Qatar.
Siemens acquired Rolls-Royce’s gas turbine business in December of last year. The company also completed a purchase of Dresser-Rand in June.
A Siemens representative said the new order confirmed that the company was “on the right path” with the acquisitions. It now holds the world’s largest installed fleet of gas turbines, steam turbines and compressors.
The value of the contract extension was not immediately made public.
Dolphin Energy is 51-percent owned by the UAE’s Mubadala Development Company, with Total and US upstream firm Occidental Petroleum each holding 24.5 percent.
