Capstone received a microturbine order from GIMSA International, for approximately $400,000. The units will be installed on offshore platforms, producing crude oil and gas, which are operated by Petroleos Mexicanos (Pemex). These microturbine packages are expected to meet the special requirement for offshore applications.
The equipment upgrades, spare parts and training totaling approximately $1.1 million are from Integrated Trade Systems (ITS), a US firm wholly owned by Pemex. The spare parts orders were placed under a $6.8 million blanket purchase order from ITS, which was received in April 2008 and expires in April 2011.
