GE will supply five 130MW Frame-9 gas turbines in a modularized solution to meet the power generation needs of Barrow Island’s gas treatment and liquefaction facilities.
The company will supply Chevron with equipment including three main refrigerant compression trains driven by six Frame-7 gas turbines required for Gorgon’s production of 15 million tonnes per annum LNG, and six compression trains to power Gorgon’s carbon dioxide sequestration project.
GE Oil & Gas’ drilling and production business will also supply the subsea production system that will be installed between 60km and 140km offshore Barrow Island in 200mt to 1,350mt water depth. This award is made under a five year frame agreement to supply subsea equipment and support services for Gorgon that was signed in May 2008.
In October last year, the company was awarded a $400m contract to supply Gorgon’s LNG refrigeration and C02 reinjection components.
Claudi Santiago, president and CEO of GE Oil & Gas, said: “I am delighted that GE Oil & Gas has again been selected by Chevron, this time to meet Gorgon’s substantial subsea equipment and power generation requirements with high performance, efficiency and reliability.
“These further contract wins strengthen our partnership role in the project, confirming our technology leadership position which is built on a proven, diverse and integrated solutions portfolio.”
The Gorgon Project is a joint venture of the Australian subsidiaries of Chevron (approximately 47%), ExxonMobil (25%) and Shell (25%), Osaka Gas (1.25%), Tokyo Gas (1%) and Chubu Electric (0.41%).
