DOCUMENT MANAGEMENT
T
he Mechanical and Construction
division of PetroVietnam Technical
Services Corporation (PTSC-M&C) has
leveraged Intergraph® SmartPlant®
Enterprise Core to successfully
implement a new electronic document
management system (EDMS). Having
worked on some of Vietnam's largest
and most complex oil and gas projects,
PTSC-M&C found that the effective
management and control of thousands
of documents across a project lifecycle
was a significant challenge, especially
when multiple departments and
potentially hundreds of personnel were
involved.
In 2013, the company began the
search for a new EDMS and selected
Intergraph to provide the solution after
an extensive evaluation period.

TURBOMACHINERY SUPPLY
G
E Oil & Gas will supply its proven gas
turbine driven compressor train and
mechanical drive technology to Malaysia's
national oil and gas company, PETRONAS,
for a second floating LNG (FLNG) facility
that is being developed off the coast of
East Malaysia. The projet marks another
major order with PETRONAS under a global
frame agreement for equipment supply
between the two companies. GE was
awarded the contract primarily because its
turbomachinery has a successful track
record of supporting offshore LNG
production.
Compressor trains are vital elements of
the liquefaction process, which cools
natural gas to a liquid state. As part of its
contract, GE will supply four of its
PGT25+G4 gas turbine generator systems
and two nitrogen trains featuring two
LM6000-PF+2BCL907 aeroderivative gas
turbines in mechanical drive mode.
Commercial operation is expected to begin
in the third quarter of 2017. Once
operational in the first quarter of 2018, the
second FLNG facility will produce
approximately 1.5 million tpy of LNG.
For the first time ever, an LM6000 gas
turbine is being applied to an FLNG project.
The LM6000 gas turbine model, already
used for offshore mechanical drive
applications, has an overall installed fleet
counting more than 1000 units worldwide.
GE's equipment will be manufactured at the
company's assembly facilities in Florance
and Massa, Italy. Previously, PETRONAS also
had selected GE's turbocompressor
equipment to power the Malaysian national
oil and gas company's first FLNG, which is
currently being constructed in South Korea.
USA
Technip has entered into a contract
to supply its proprietary ethylene
technology and process design package
(PDP) for a world class grassroots ethane
cracker for the proposed ASCENT
petrochemical complex currently being
eveluated by Odebrecht and Braskem in
Parkersburg, West Virginia. Using ethane
from shale gas, this cracker will produce
ethylene to be used in polyethylene
plants.

of three Enersul GXM3™ sulfur granulation
units. Project delivery will be in the
second quarter of 2015.
TURKMENISTAN
ARFLU has successfully completed an
important order for rising stem ball
valves destined for Turkmenistan. Many
motorised metal seated valves will be
installed in a gas processing plant of
Turkmengas. Rising stem ball valves are
frequently used in high temperature
and frequent cycling service, as the
contactless rotation of the ball avoids
wear and tear.
