Under the agreement, ZKMK will manufacture, supply, test and service GE’s advanced technology GE-10 gas turbine units for deployment in critical infrastructure projects in Kazakhstan.

The GE-10 is a 10-14MW range gas turbine unit designed for optimum performance in mechanical drive applications including pipelines, re-injection and other on- and offshore oil and gas field services.

GE Oil & Gas president and CEO Claudi Santiago said that the company extends its services partnership with ZKMK through localized manufacturing of its GE-10 gas turbines in Kazakhstan.

"Our customers in Kazakhstan now have even greater access to advanced gas turbine technology to help optimize oil and gas production," Santiago said.
