COMBINED CYCLE POWER PLANT
OFFSHORE PLATFORM GETS CCPP
The DresserRand business, part of Siemens Power and Gas Division, recently delivered power generation equipment for a combined cycle power plant (CCPP) for the Shell Appomattox deepwater oil and gas floating production platform. The platform will be located 80 miles off the coast of Louisiana in the Gulf of Mexico and is slated to start production around the end of this decade, reports APN.
he Shell Appomattox deep-water oil and gas floating production platform has deployed gas turbine gensets which are self-contained mini- modules complete with all electrical wiring, piping, tubing and controls. The gen-sets, ancillary equipment and baseplate remain connected after unit testing - this substantially reduces the time required to fully install, commission and start-up the packages. With CCPPs, a gas turbine generator produces electricity while the waste heat from the gas turbine is used to make steam to generate additional electricity via a steam turbine.

platform will improve overall fuel efficiency, reduce emissions of greenhouse gases, and increase total power generation for the platform.
“This project demonstrates the Dresser- Rand business’ unique capabilities to deliver
full solutions for both power generation and oil and gas applications. Combined cycle power plants built for offshore applications are rare and we’re pleased to leverage our comprehensive portfolio to produce a solution which meets all of Shell’s requirements,” said Jesus Pacheco, Executive VP
Equipment Worldwide, Dresser-Rand business.
“Our team designed and manufactured a
compact, lightweight solution that will operate reliably and safely under the harsh conditions inherent in offshore applications.” The packages feature a compact design and reduced weight to accommodate the platform’s footprint constraints. The design allows for easy accessibility to the package components for maintenance and service, along with adequate workspace. The steam turbine generator package was manufactured in Wellsville, NY and packaged in Olean, NY. An 18.5 MW load test was
