Baker Hughes has received a major LNG equipment award from QatarEnergy for the main refrigerant compressor train and power generation packages across two LNG mega trains for the North Field West project.
The award includes six Frame 9 gas turbines and 12 centrifugal compressors, as well as integrated power solutions utilising three Frame 6 gas turbines and three Brush power generation generators. The global technology firm disclosed the details in its Q1 update.
Officials from QatarEnergy have stated that full repairs to the damaged LNG trains could take three to five years.
CEO Lorenzo Simonelli said, “While the conflict presents near-term challenges, it is further reinforcing energy security as a priority, which is expected to support structural growth in upstream and global energy infrastructure spending.”
Another order from QatarEnergy comprises six centrifugal compressor trains driven by variable speed electric motors, designed to capture and transport up to 4.1 million tonnes of carbon dioxide annually.
Baker Hughes reported attributable net income of $930m and orders totalling $8.2bn in Q1.
