Rolls-Royce, the global power systems company, has won a $30 million order from Shell to supply two industrial RB211 gas turbines to boost gas output from the Malampaya deepwater natural gas project in the Philippines.

Shell has used Rolls-Royce technology as the mechanical driver for the project’s gas compression trains since start-up in 2001. The additional two RB211 units will enhance production output and efficiency, helping assure a stable supply of energy and a cleaner source of power for the Philippines.

Tony Ruegger, Rolls-Royce, Executive Vice-President – Oil & Gas said: “We are delighted that after eleven years of successful collaboration on this important project Shell has again put its trust in Rolls-Royce. The proven reliability and efficiency of our equipment will help the Malampaya project partners maintain high levels of gas production, ensuring that the Philippines continue to access dependable supplies of electricity.”
