Power play in UAE

The contract, awarded by Korean engineering, procurement and construction firm Hyundai Engineering and Construction, marks the first Trent 60 gas turbine sale to a Korean EPC.

Rolls-Royce is supplying five aero-derivative Trent 60 gas turbine generator sets to power offshore production platforms and oil and gas processing facilities on Zirku Island.

Each Trent 60 turbine can produce up to 66 megawatts of power and will feature low emissions technology to minimise environmental impact.

The contract brings the number of Trent 60s operating in the UAE oil and gas market to 14.

Rolls-Royce will manufacture and package the equipment at its facilities in Montreal, Quebec, Canada and Mount Vernon, Ohio in the US.

SARB will play a key role in boosting UAE domestic oil and gas production.

It involves the construction of facilities to transfer oil drilled on 86 wells of the SARB offshore field, 120km northwest of Abu Dhabi.

Facilities related to collection and transport will be built on two artificial islands.

Hyundai Engineering and Construction will also build a facility on Zirku Island to separate gas from crude oil in the SARB and Umm Al Lulu oil fields.

The Zirku Island processing facility will have a daily capacity of 200,000 barrels of oil and 35 million cubic feet of gas.
