Published: 16-Feb-2010

John Wood Group, through its subsidiary Wood Group GTS, has bagged a $150m long-term contract from Peru LNG over an 18-year term. Under the contract, Wood Group will provide a service and maintenance program to maximize machine availability of the gas turbines, compressors and generators for Peru LNG's Pampa Melchorita site south of Lima.

The contract covers two GE Frame 7 (7EA DLN-1) gas turbine-driven compressor trains for the LNG process and three GE LM2500 + DLE aero derivative gas turbine power generator sets.

In order to maximize machine availability over the 18-year term, the company will implement remote monitoring and diagnostics, supply of spare parts, component repair, inventory management, field service, and maintenance management.

Mark Papworth, CEO of Wood Group GTS, said: "Our team integrated its technical skills and commercial knowledge to put forward a complete turnkey maintenance solution for the power generation and compressor drive equipment at our client's new LNG facility.

"By aligning our performance and compensation to the operational objectives of Peru LNG, our focus will be on helping them extract maximum value from their rotating equipment assets by keeping them available and reliable, as well as driving down the overall cost of maintenance."

Peru LNG shareholders are Hunt Oil Company of the US, SK Corporation of Korea, Repsol YPF of Spain and Marubeni of Japan. The project was launched in January 2007, and the facilities include an LNG Plant, marine export facilities and a 408km natural gas supply pipeline.

Wood Group Production Services has supported Peru LNG with the supply of specialized and technical personnel to Compania Operadora de LNG del Peru (COLP), the operating company of Peru LNG. COLP has been responsible for constructing the LNG plant and gas supply pipeline and will be responsible for the plant and pipeline operation and support services.
