In order to drive levels of operation, Oman LNG has signed a 16-year Contractual Service Agreement (CSA) with GE Oil & Gas to supply and service GE gas turbines at Oman LNG’s Qalhat Complex.
Under the CSA, GE will provide a range of services for the six critical gas turbines that are driving the three LNG liquefaction trains and an additional six gas turbines that generate the power at the Qalhat Complex.
The three LNG trains at Qalhat – two owned by Oman LNG and one owned by Qalhat LNG – clean and liquefy natural gas. The gas turbines provide the driving energy to cool the natural gas to -160ºC at which temperature the gas liquefies.
Oman LNG is a joint venture consisting of the Omani government (51%), Royal Dutch Shell (30%), Total (5.54%), KOGAS (5%), Mitsubishi (2.77%), Mitsui (2.77%), Partex (2%) and Itochu (0.92%).
