Rolls-Royce has won a $130-million order from Gail (India) Ltd for supply six RB211-GT61 gas turbine compression packages that will be used to boot Gail’s gas output to 56 mmscmd. Three packages will be installed at Vijaipur and Jhabua each, a statement by Rolls-Royce said, adding that deliveries were scheduled for the first quarter of 2010.
In a statement, Tom Curley, President, Energy Business, Rolls-Royce plc said: “India is an important and growing market for Rolls-Royce and we are very pleased to strengthen our long-standing relationship with Gail. Rolls-Royce has unparalleled experience, providing power for major oil and gas pipelines in 24 countries around the world, and this new contract is further demonstration of the benefits our technology is delivering.”
Rolls-Royce now has more than 100 gas turbine and compressor installations in India and this new contract increases the number of RB211 compression units operating on the Gail network to 14.
Rolls-Royce will manufacture the industrial RB211s at its Montreal, Canada, facility and the centrifugal gas compressors will be built at its Mount Vernon, Ohio factory, USA, which is where the assembly of the complete gas turbine packages will also take place.
