Riyadh-Mubasher: GE Oil & Gas has completed the first six high-efficiency gas compression trains manufactured in Saudi Arabia, which will be provided for Phase I of Saudi Aramco’s Master Gas System expansion project in the kingdom, according to a press release from GE.
The trains are part of a multi-million dollar contract to provide 18 high-efficiency gas compression trains, each consisting of an aeroderivative gas turbine driving a centrifugal compressor.
In 2016, six more trains will be manufactured for Phase II.
This is the first time that high-efficiency compression trains have been manufactured in Saudi Arabia at a centre where 70% of the workforce are Saudi nationals.
