GE Gas Power announced an order for fast, and flexible power from Yemeni state-owned Masila Petroleum Exploration and Production Company (PetroMasila), which operates the exploration and production of oil in Hadramout.
The order includes a trailer-mounted GE TM2500 aeroderivative gas turbine. The TM2500 unit will be installed at Block 14 in the Hadramout region and will be capable of providing up to 34 megawatts (MW) at the site’s conditions.
The TM2500, a “power plant on wheels” will be powered using previously flared associated gas to support PetroMasila’s oil exploration and extraction processes—creating electricity from excess gas.
Once interconnected to the local grid, over half of the electricity produced from the unit at Block 14 will be delivered to the grid, providing electricity needed to power homes in Hadramout that currently suffer blackouts. The TM2500 unit is expected to achieve commercial operation in 2023.
