Wednesday, Jul 21, 2010

Siemens Energy was awarded US$40 Million project to engineer and supply an integrated power solution for natural gas liquids (NGL) fractionation plant to be set up by Abu Dhabi Gas Industries (GASCO). This joint venture between Petrofec and GS E&C is on behalf of Gasco.   

Siemens will be the main electrical contractor (MEC) for Gasco’s Ruwais 4^th NGL train, in Ruwais. The train is scheduled to begin operation March 2012. For the NGL fractionation plant Siemens will act as MEC, providing power-and distribution transformers, high, medium, and low-voltage switchgears, and motor control centres. Furthermore Siemens will provide a power management system, medium and low voltage motors, and various other items of equipment. Also included are engineering, installation, commissioning and supervision of the complete electrical equipment.  Benefits of the ‘one stop’ approach are the reduction of interfaces, project management simplification, better communication, risk reduction and the leverage of core competencies.

Tom Blades, CEO of the Oil and Gas Division of Siemens Energy said, “This order is a breakthrough for our integrated solution capabilities and a door-opener for further projects as it demonstrates our ability to engineer and deliver the entire power solution scope from a single source,” Blades then added, “More and more we see customers turning to Siemens early on in projects to find innovative ways to reduce risk and costs while accelerating completion.”
