GE Oil & Gas signs new services pact in Asia with Donggi Senoro LNG

GE Oil & Gas signed a contractual service agreement with the Asian energy company PT Donggi Senoro LNG (DSLNG), officials announced on Tuesday.

The deal will see GE Oil & Gas provide full package services and also monitor non-GE equipment supplied by other original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), offering a stretched reliability target embedded in the contract.

For the first time, GE Oil & Gas guarantees performance even on non-GE equipment, including electric motors and centrifugal compressors.

GE says the landmark long-term deal, worth more than €102 million, is a milestone for the company. That's because under the terms of the agreement, GE will act as a single contractual supplier. For the first time, this performance-driven contract will also include a bonus scheme linked to real customer production, thus reinforcing the partnership concept that CSA contracts offer to the customer.

GE says it will provide full package services, including planned (spare parts, repairs, supervision and manpower) and unplanned maintenance. The company's Full Reliability Max Predictivity Solution package will be also provided to the plant, which includes elements such as a dedicated diagnostic engineer, monitoring and diagnostics, as well as more advanced outcome-based offerings designed to optimize plant-wide asset performance management and maintenance operations.

GE also plans to leverage its team of software engineers to build a bespoke platform to interpret data collected from machines manufactured by other OEMs.

An extended GE skilled resident team will be permanently based at the site of the plant in Banggai Regency, in the Province of Central Sulawesi in Indonesia, to guarantee constant coverage and outstanding performance results.

The commercial and technical offering to PT DonggiSenoro LNG has been conceived and developed through site assessments prior to the plant construction phase. This has ensured that the plant layout best fits the tailored maintenance philosophy GE is offering to maximize customer production, the company says.

GE's contract execution will be carried out alongside with strong local partnership building, with a localization plan to be further developed during the whole contract life.

“This flagship project is immensely exciting for us both because it sees GE Oil & Gas employing its service offering to serve and monitor the performance of machines manufactured by other companies,” said Visal Leng, general manager for the Asia-Pacific region at GE Oil & Gas. “DSLNG has taken an industry leading step by signing a maintenance agreement with just one supplier for its LNG plant. We believe this is a sign of things to come as Operators move towards greater integration across their portfolios.”

GE’s cutting-edge Full Reliability Max Predictivity Solution package, which is being brought to the plant, is designed to simplify and optimise the stream of information for diagnostics engineers. Moreover, it will also provide Donggi Senoro with access to a web-based service, allowing the company to monitor how its machines are performing in real time and represents a further evolution of its Reliability Max offering.

Capable of producing 2 MMtpy of LNG, Donggi Senoro’s LNG plant was first constructed in 2011. Most of the LNG exported from the facility, which is fitted with GE equipment originally manufactured by GE Oil & Gas in Florence, goes to Japan and Korea.
