"Following a concentrated bid phase, we are proud that PDO chose us once again, even at a time when markets are particularly hotly contested," says Basil Zweifel, Segment Head of Oil & Gas Production at MAN in Zurich. MAN has already delivered 24 compressor trains in all with a total of 35 casings to Oman. With these latest orders the company consolidates its position as the leading supplier of turbomachinery to the commodity-rich state.

Where are Compressors Used in EOR?

The current order comprises two high- and two low-pressure compressor trains for the acid gas application, one high- and one low-pressure compressor train for the flash gas application and two trains for gas export.

The type RB compressors are optimized for the demanding compression of aggressive acid gases such as occur in the Harweel Cluster in Oman, for example. With their help the acid gases from the fields are returned to optimize the natural gas yield by increasing the pressure. Following a delivery period of around 22 months, the high-end machines will be ready for installation in Oman in December 2016.
