Baker Hughes has announced a milestone achievement for its Integrated Compressor Line (ICL) technology, securing its largest-ever order from Dubai Petroleum Establishment (DPE) on behalf of Dubai Supply Authority (DUSUP).
The order, placed in the third quarter of 2024, is a key part of the UAE’s broader decarbonization efforts. It is intended to enhance gas swing storage capacity in the country, aligning with its push for cleaner energy solutions.
The deal includes the delivery of 10 ICL units, with five units designated for gas storage and the other five for dual-use, capable of both injection boosting and exporting gas to Dubai’s existing distribution network. These units will be installed at the Margham Gas Storage Facility, where they are expected to significantly boost the facility’s storage capacity.
Baker Hughes highlighted the project’s role in creating a more reliable and environmentally friendly energy system. By leveraging ICL technology, the company aims to ensure reduced emissions while supporting the UAE’s goal of transitioning between natural gas and renewable energy sources like solar power.
“Our innovative ICL technology will play a crucial role in supporting Dubai’s growing renewable energy ambitions,” said Ganesh Ramaswamy, Executive Vice President of Industrial & Energy Technology at Baker Hughes. “This record-setting order highlights our commitment to low-carbon solutions, and we appreciate DPE’s trust as they drive sustainable energy development.”
Since 2020, DPE has collaborated with Baker Hughes to implement ICL units, which have demonstrated high reliability, achieving zero seal leakages and requiring minimal maintenance downtime.
