BP has selected Dresser-Rand, part of Siemens Power and Gas Division, to provide rotating equipment for its Mad Dog 2 project in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico, according to a news release.

Dresser-Rand will supply two low-pressure D6A4S and two high-pressure D6R9B compressors for the project. The scope of supply is comprised of two DATUM compressor trains driven by Siemens electric motors for export gas service, the release said.

The equipment is scheduled to ship in 2018. The DATUM compressor is designed to minimize maintenance and reduce downtime. Each compressor train will be driven by a Siemens electric motor and includes a variable speed gearbox.

Oil production of the project’ new floating production platform is expected to begin late in 2021. The platform will be capable of producing up to 140,000 barrels of crude oil per day from up to 14 production wells, according to the release.
