Dresser-Rand to supply pipeline compressor trains to Mexico
The Dresser-Rand business, part of Siemens Power and Gas Division, received orders to supply five gas turbine-driven compressor trains for two pipelines in Mexico to Fermaca Enterprises. The parties also signed a 25-year long-term service agreement for these units. The compressor trains are expected to be commissioned in the winter of 2017, and both stations are planned to begin commercial operation in early 2018. In March of 2015, Siemens supplied three pipeline compressor trains for the El Encino station in Chihuahua, Mexico, also owned by Fermaca.

The compressor trains each consist of an STC-SV single-shaft compressor driven by a Siemens SGT-400 gas turbine. Two of the trains will be installed at a pipeline station in La Laguna, Coahuila, and the other three units will be part of a pipeline compressor station in Villa de Reyes, San Luis Potosi, Mexico. This order follows the El Encino – La Laguna pipeline project, which was successfully completed with Fermaca and has given new impetus to the Mexican oil and gas industry. Siemens previously supplied three pipeline compressor trains with SGT-750 gas turbine drives.
“We are pleased to be selected as the compression solution supplier for this strategically important pipeline project in a highly competitive market,” said Christopher Rossi, CEO of the Dresser-Rand business.
The equipment will provide compression power for a 1,500 km pipeline that will transport natural gas from the north to the center of the country, where it will feed several new, high-efficiency power plants and local industry.
