Rolls-Royce won an order for gas turbine and compression equipment for the Tapis oil and gas field offshore Malaysia by ExxonMobil Exploration and Production Malaysia to expand and extend field production.
The order includes two Rolls-Royce RB211-GT61 gas turbines, each driving twin Rolls-Royce RCB and RBB multi-stage-barrel gas compressors. Each gas turbine compressor set will produce 27 MW of power, enough to deliver up to 390 million standard cubic feet of natural gas per day.
Rolls-Royce will begin to deliver equipment in the third quarter 2012.
The Rolls-Royce equipment will be installed at the Tapis Enhanced Oil Recovery Project, featuring a central processing platform with a new integrated deck.
