Dresser-Rand has received an order from Egypt-based Belayim Petroleum Company (Petrobel) for three model SGT-400 industrial gas turbines, including associated electrical generators. The scope of the order also includes spare parts supply and on-site maintenance. The turbine gen-sets are due for delivery in early 2017.

Petrobel, a joint venture formed by Italian oil and gas company Eni, and Egypt’s General Petroleum Corporation (EGPC) is developing the Zohr gas field, located about 200 km off Egypt’s Mediterranean coastline.

The 12.9 MW SGT-400 turbines, manufactured at the Siemens operation located in Lincoln, England, will be integral to the supply of electric power to the natural gas processing facility currently under construction. Siemens said that the SGT-400 is among the most efficient gas turbines in this performance class, and the additional quantity of electricity generated provides greater flexibility should plans call for an increase in the gas processing facility’s production capacity.
