GE Oil & Gas will supply proven, advanced turbo-compression technology for the Petronas Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) Train 9 project, which will add 3.6 million metric tons per annum (MMtpa) to the existing 25.7 MMtpa production capacity of the Petronas LNG complex in Bintulu, Sarawak, Malaysia.

Under a contract of approximately $150 million, GE will provide a fully integrated solution for Train 9, including turbo-compression equipment and variable speed drive systems from GE's power conversion business.

The scope of GE's supply includes a low/medium-pressure mixed refrigerant package and a propane and high pressure-mixed refrigerant package, each driven by a Frame 7EA gas turbine with a 13-megawatt induction motor running at 3,600 rpm and VSI technology variable speed drive systems.
