MUNICH, Germany – Malaysia Marine and Heavy Engineering (MMHE) has contracted Siemens Gas and Power to supply power equipment for Petronas’ Kasawari gas field development in the South China Sea, offshore Sarawak.
The package comprises three SGT-300 industrial gas turbine generators (GTGs), three mechanical-drive SGT-300 gas turbines, and three DATUM centrifugal compressors.
MMHE and TechnipFMC are managing the project under a joint venture. Kasawari, with estimated recoverable reserves of 3 tcf, will produce up to 900 MMcf/d of gas for delivery to the Petronas LNG complex in Bintulu, Sarawak.
The three SGT-300 GTGs will each have dual-fuel capability and a power capacity of 7.9 MW electric (MWe) at ISO condition. They will provide the power for the platform complex that will process and export the gas, including living quarters and electrical utilities for all process systems and wellheads.
As for the three SGT-300 mechanical drive gas turbines, which will output 9 MW at ISO condition, these will directly drive the DATUM compressors that will compress and export sales gas to the existing near-shore riser platform (for onward delivery to the LNG complex).
Siemens’ Gas Turbine Service Center in Lincoln, eastern England, will manufacture the engines while the company’s facility in Houston will package and test the GTGs and the gas turbine compressor train ahead of start-up early in 2023.
