LONDON (Alliance News) - Rolls-Royce Holdings PLC on Friday said it has won a contract with BG Group PLC to supply its Trent 60 DLE industrial gas turbine for the proposed Lake Charles liquefied natural gas export project the oil company is carrying out in Louisiana in the US.
The two FTSE 100 companies have also agreed the terms of a long term service agreement covering the support and maintenance of equipment for up to 25 years.
The equipment and service contracts are expected to start in the first half of 2015, Rolls-Royce said, subject to the US LNG plant permitting process and final investment decisions being made by BG Group and Energy Transfer Partners LP, the operator on the project.
"We're delighted with BG Group's vote of confidence in the Trent 60 DLE. We believe our aero-derivative technology will become the leader in the LNG sector, due to its superior economics. We are looking forward to a long and productive relationship with BG," said Rolls-Royce Energy President Andrew Heath.
