GE and Sabine Pass Liquefaction, a subsidiary of Cheniere Energy Partners LP, entered into a $1 billion, 20-year service contract. Under the terms of the contract, GE will provide spare parts and planned inspections, maintenance services and technical support for the gas turbines and refrigerant compressors on the first four LNG trains currently under construction at the Sabine Pass LNG export facility. Each train will have six gas turbines and an expected nominal production capacity of about 4.5 million tons per annum (mtpa) of LNG.
The contract will see GE provide services that cover all major maintenance for the first four LNG trains, as well as a resident team of 14 local experts including field and repair services to assist with all aspects of maintenance on the GE equipment. GE also will provide access to original parts, supported by the technical expertise of GE’s field engineers.
GE will be supplying services for the following products:
- 24 PGT25+ G4 gas turbines to power the LNG trains;
- 56 centrifugal compressors; and
- Associated auxiliaries.
GE’s Oil & Gas Services 2.0 package will use its Predictivity technology for equipment monitoring and pre-emptive maintenance. The project also will benefit from the expertise of the Houston GE Oil & Gas iCenter, which features more than 11 million hours of machine data and is one of three global centers set up in different time zones to ensure 24/7 monitoring and diagnostics services for GE Oil & Gas’ installed fleet.
