ALSTOM Wins Order for GT10C Gas Turbine Offshore

ALSTOM has been awarded an order for a 30 MW GT10C gas turbine in mechanical drive application offshore.
Under the terms of the contract, the GT10C will drive a Dresser-Rand compressor train comprising one Model D16R8BMP and one Model DO8R9SHP compressor. The equipment will be located on a fixed platform in the Al Shargi field, offshore State of Qatar in the Arabian Gulf. 

The gas turbine, which will run on natural gas, is scheduled to be delivered Spring 2004. 

The EPC contractor is SMOE Pte Ltd. and the end customer is Occidental Petroleum Qatar Ltd. 

Occidental took over the Idd Al Shargi North Dome (ISND) oil field operation in 1994 and in 1997 signed a Production Sharing Agreement for the Idd Al Shargi South Dome (ISSD) oilfield. The two complexes are connected by a 22 km sub-sea pipeline. 

The GT10C will fit into phase 2 of the ISND development. 

Based on proven technology, its overall design being based on the established 25 MW GT10B, with some features incorporated from the 43 MW GTX100, the GT10C is designed for maximal reliability and minimal operation costs. Its compact package design allows for rapid delivery and installation, even offshore.
