The company will supply 14 centrifugal compressor trains comprising 18 casings, two DR-61G (LM2500) mechanical drive gas turbines and four DR-61GP (LM2500+) gas turbine generator sets for these projects. The total price for the scope being supplied exceeds $120m.
The compressor trains will be manufactured in Le Havre, France and Olean, New York; the gas turbine generator sets will be engineered by Dresser-Rand’s Kongsberg gas turbine packaging center. Dresser-Rand booked these orders in March 2010.
Jesus Pacheco, executive vice president of new equipment worldwide at Dresser-Rand, said: “We are very pleased that we have been selected to supply the critical rotating equipment for these important projects.
“Among the equipment being supplied will be some of the highest density re-injection compressors ever built, such as the 550 bar (7975 psi) units to compress a 35+ mole weight natural gas/CO2 blended stream, as well as CO2 compressors to re-inject carbon dioxide to over 300 bar (4350 psi) pressure.”
The company said that two of the four FPSO projects involve relocation of existing vessels. These vessels will be capable of handling oil production and treatment of approximately 100,000 -120,000 barrels per day and have gas compression capabilities of up to 150 million standard cubic feet per day.
