BP, Rolls-Royce sign $176m deal
Oil giant BP and Rolls-Royce have signed a $176 million services
agreement for the maintenance of gas turbines operating onshore and
offshore in Azerbaijan.
The TotalCare agreement, the largest single contract the Rolls-Royce energy business has received, extends an existing contract until 2016, the company said.
Azerbaijan will manage maintenance of the RB211 gas turbines operating on offshore platforms in the Caspian Sea, as well as the turbines at an onshore terminal. Engine overhauls will be performed at the Rolls Wood Group facility in Aberdeen, Scotland.
This is the second TotalCare agreement covering industrial gas turbines used in the oil and gas sector to be signed recently between BP and Rolls-Royce.
In 2006, a $36.7 million agreement covered eight Avon and RB211 gas turbine packages operating in four offshore North Sea oil and gas fields and at a U.K. onshore gas processing terminal.
