New Delhi , July 6

GE said on Thursday that its oil and gas business would supply compression technology to Reliance Petroleum Ltd (RPL) for the greenfield project in Jamnagar. In a statement issued here, GE said that it would supply three reciprocating compressors, two screw compressors and spare parts for the project.

The reciprocating compressors would be manufactured at GE's oil and gas facilities in Florence, Italy, while screw compressors would be supplied from its plant in Oshkosh, Wisconsin.

GE advantage

Mr Mohammad Ayoub, Regional General Manager, GE Oil & Gas - India, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka said, "Lower lifecycle costs translate into high long-term profitability. That is why leading oil and gas operators have been traditional users of GE equipment and services that have enhanced productivity and are backed by comprehensive support and reliability."

The 27 million-tonne Jamnagar export refinery is located in a special economic zone adjacent to an existing refinery owned by Reliance Industries Ltd (RIL). When the new 5,80,000 barrel-a-day refinery project is completed in December 2008, the total capacity for RIL-RPL Jamnagar site would be more than 1.2 million barrels per day.
