OE13: GE to power Gina Krog

Published

Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering (DSME) has awarded GE Oil & Gas a contract to provide turbomachinery equipment and services for the Gina Krog platform in the Norwegian North Sea.

The Gina Krog development (previously known as Dagny) will be about 250 km southwest of Stavanger. It is a Statoil-operated development, with an estimated 225 million barrels of oil and gas.

GE is supplying DSME with integrated topside turbomachinery. This will include GE’s SeaSmartTM offshore package solution, which features an LM2500 aeroderivative gas turbine to provide the Gina Krog platform with on-site power.

The equipment is scheduled to be delivered in the first quarter of 2015. The platform’s offshore hook-up is scheduled to take place in 2016.

GE’s manufacturing facilities in Florence and Massa, Italy will manufacture the compressor equipment and also handle the packaging of the aeroderivative gas turbine supplied by GE Power & Water’s plant in Cincinnati, Ohio. GE’s Power Conversion facility in Massy (Paris) and Nancy, France will provide the variable speed drive units.
