GEC Rolls-Royce Gensets Selected For Shell/Esso Tern Offshore Platform

Three GEC Rolls-Royce electrical generating sets worth $18 million have been ordered to power the Shell/Esso Tern offshore production platform in the northern sector of the North Sea.

Two ERB-1 generating sets, each powered by a Rolls-Royce Industrial RB211 gas turbine developing 30,840 hp, and one EAS-1 generating set powered by a Rolls-Royce Industrial Avon gas turbine developing 18,440 hp, will provide the platform's electrical power. All three units have dual fuel capability using local associated gas or diesel fuel.

The RB211 sets will be supplied as complete, single-lift modules suitable for three-point mounting on the exposed top deck of the platform.

The Avon-powered set will be designed for installation within a conventional module located > a three-point mounted base.

This order brings the total number of offshore generat ing sets sold by GEC Rolls-Royce and its parent companies to 51, representing more than 1.34 million hp of installed power.

Formed in 1984, GEC Rolls- Royce (Power Generation) is a joint venture company owned equally by Rolls-Royce and the General Electric Company of Great Britain. This new company's activity covers the marketing, sales, engineering, and project management of gas turbine power generation systems above 13,400 hp.
