Power systems company Rolls Royce Holdings plc (RR.L) Monday announced that it has bagged a $40 million contract to supply equipment and related services to power the flow of natural gas through the Uzbekistan section of the Turkmenistan-China natural gas pipeline.
According to the contract, Rolls-Royce is expected to supply Asia Trans Gas, a joint venture between Uzbekistan's Uzbekneftegaz and China's National Petroleum Corporation, with three RB211 gas turbine driven pipeline compressor units for operation at a compressor station on the 530 km Uzbekistan section of the 1,830 km Turkmenistan-China natural gas pipeline.
The Uzbekistan section of the Turkmenistan-China natural gas pipeline is expected to transport 25 billion cubic meters per year of gas from Turkmenistan, through Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan, to China, helping to stabilise China's energy consumption with cleaner natural gas, said the company in a statement.
