Angola LNG and GE Oil & Gas have signed a long-term contractual service agreement (CSA) designed to increase overall plant efficiency and provide maximum availability for the key gas compression equipment.
Angola LNG, a major LNG producer with operations in Angola and the United States, is a consortium composed of some of the world’s leading oil and gas companies including Sonangol, which has a 22.8% share; and affiliates of Chevron (36.4 %), Total (13.6%), BP (13.6%) and ENI (13.6%).
The Soyo LNG facility, located 315 kilometers north of Luanda, will ship the first LNG cargo this quarter and will produce approximately 5.2m tons of LNG and related gas liquid products per year.
The CSA will cover two GE gas turbine-driven compression trains – including additional plant equipment – ensuring continuous technical assistance and an on-site team of highly skilled GE Field Services Engineers, applying effective maintenance approaches and original equipment manufacturer (OEM) spare parts to optimise performance and maximise mean time between maintenance.
