“We are delighted that a renowned company such as CNOOC Ltd. has demonstrated its confidence in our compressor technology,” said Ronnie Su, Head of Sales & Contracts Turbomachinery of MAN Diesel & Turbo in China. "This order for Dongfang emphasises how the market is developing: the growing focus lies on reliable gas supply, which supports China’s efforts to optimize its energy mix toward cleaner sources and reduce its reliance on coal. MAN Diesel & Turbo has the right technology to fully support this goal.”
The compressor trains from MAN Diesel & Turbo Schweiz AG are to be used in gas reinjection and export on new platforms in the Dongfang 13-2 gas field, located in Yinggehai Basin of the Beibu Gulf with an average water depth of approximately 70 m.
The total order comprises three wet gas and three dry gas compressor trains with intercooled barrel type compressors—all driven by electric motors with variable frequency converter. The wet gas compressor trains will be built as standardized and modularized Upstream Packages.
