Oilfield
Tuesday, 21 November 2017 06:44 - Baker Hughes, a GE company, has signed an agreement with PetroChina International Iraq, to deliver Frame 6B gas turbine electric generator trains to the onshore Halfaya oilfield in Iraq. The equipment is expected to generate 150MW of power for the project, with an aim to provide reliable and efficient energy to the Halfaya field, thus supporting the sustainability of Iraq’s ongoing oil and gas operations. The components of the turbo generator units will be manufactured and assembled at BHGE's Nuovo Pignone facility in Florence in Italy. BHGE’s Frame 6 turbines aim to operate in extreme conditions and harsh environments across a wide range of applications. The company said that the turbines have been proven and tested with more than 55mn operating hours. The Halfaya oilfield was discovered in 1976 with 4.1 bbo in reserves. The field, operated by PetroChina International Iraq, currently produces around 200,000 bpd. This agreement with PetroChina International Iraq aims to strengthen BHGE's presence in the country, where it has contributed to several projects, including power generation support for two of Iraq's big fields including West Qurna and Rumaila.
Flenco is pleased to have been selected as preferred partner by BHGE to supply its auxiliary systems for this project. For further inquiries about this collaboration, you can ask your usual contact person at our Sales Department or complete and send us our contact form.
