Fairbanks Morse Supplying Emergency Power For Sohio Drilling Facility In Alaska

Sohio Petroleum Company is constructing several modules in New Iberia, La., that will be transported on barges to Prudhoe Bay, Alaska, to process oil, gas and water received from the Endicott Reservoir. They will be assembled to form an electrical generation system complex— emergency power plant, main power plant, and power system control console—to operate drilling equipment off the North Slope of Alaska.

The emergency power system was designed by Fairbanks Morse engineers to meet the requirements of the Sohio specifications. It consists of two Fairbanks Morse 900-rpm turbocharged dual-fuel engine generator sets and will be a stand-alone system used as the normal power supply until both the main power plant and the power system control console are commissioned in 1987.
