GE Oil & Gas wins contract to deliver long-term services for Peru LNG plant

GE Oil & Gas has secured a contract to provide long-term services for PERU LNG S.R.L liquefied natural gas (LNG) facility in Pampa Melchorita, Peru.

The plant, which was opened in June 2010, has an estimated annual production capacity of 4.4 million tons of LNG.

The complex also houses two storage tanks, a marine terminal and a supply pipeline.

The 13-year contractual service agreement (CSA) requires GE to provide major maintenance requirements for the facility’s liquefaction train.

It consists of GE 7EA units and compressors along with related auxiliaries.

The CSA also will cover the site’s power generation equipment that features three GE LM2500+ aeroderivative gas turbine-generators and auxiliaries.

GE Oil & Gas also will provide a resident support team to deal with all aspects of maintenance on its equipment and a Predictivity package for remote equipment monitoring.

PERU LNG S.R.L. general manager Igor Salazar said: "We are pleased to sign this new CSA with GE because the original equipment manufacturer will provide the parts and repair services as well as the technical expertise of GE’s resident team of field engineers to help ensure the optimal reliability and potential increased availability of our LNG production facility."

PERU LNG S.R.L. is sponsored by Hunt Oil Company, SK Innovation, Shell and Marubeni.
