Twelve Centrax gas turbine packages at the Ust Teguss field, Siberia
Twelve Centrax gas turbine packages at the Ust Teguss field, Siberia. The packages, each comprising a single 5.2 MW Rolls-Royce 501-KB7 gas turbine, are being readied for service at the Ust Teguss field, at the heart of the environmentally challenging Siberian oil and gas industry.
The field is located in the Tyumen region of the West Siberian plain, some 1,600 km east of Moscow, and the units’ total generating capacity of 62 MW will meet the facility’s growing energy demands. The units will run on gas recovered from oil drilling operations, which would normally be flared.
Nick Royal, Regional Sales Manager of Centrax said: ‘The Tyumen region has an average temperature over the whole year of only around 1.3°C with continuous sub-freezing conditions for much of the winter. Where conditions are as tough as this, the reliability and maintainability of the 501-KB7 gas turbine become key drivers behind our accelerating success in Russia.’
