Siemens to Equip Malaysian Gas Project
Siemens Gas and Power was recently awarded a contract to supply equipment for the Petronas Kasawari gas field development project in the South China Sea, offshore Sarawak in Malaysia, it said on June 2 in a statement.
Siemens will supply three SGT-300 industrial gas turbine generators (GTG), three mechanical-drive SGT-300 gas turbines and three Datum centrifugal compressors for the project. The customer, Malaysia Marine and Heavy Engineering, has formed a joint venture with TechnipFMC to execute this work, with Petronas Carigali as the end user.
Kasawari field has an estimated 3 trillion ft3 in recoverable gas. Once online, the field is due to produce up to 900mn ft3/day of gas, which will be delivered to the Petronas LNG complex in Bintulu, Sarawak, Siemens said.
The three SGT-300 GTG units will have dual-fuel capability. Each turbine will have a power capacity of 7.9 MW electric (MWe) at ISO condition. The units will provide the necessary power to the entire CPP that will process and export the gas. Power demands include living quarters and electrical utilities for all process systems and wellheads.
The three SGT-300 mechanical drive gas turbines are designed to have a power output of 9 MW at ISO condition. They will directly drive the Datum compressors that will compress and export sales gas to the existing riser platform nearshore, before delivering gas to the LNG complex.
