Since installation, the Fadhili Gas Plant has demonstrated a 10 – 15% reduction in amine and steam usage and an approximately 5% reduction in power usage.

The company’s coiled-tube drilling operations include its CoilTrak bottomhole assembly system and enhanced reservoir analysis driven by the GaffneyCline energy advisory.

The 2026 Handbook includes a comprehensive outlook of the U.S. power industry and gas turbine market, as well as an industry-wide directory and specifications listings.

The newly opened facility is expected to boost aeroderivative repair capabilities and reduce component lead times across Argentina, Brazil, Chile, and Uruguay.

The Turbomachinery News Network, for the week of October 20, 2025, covers news from NextDecade, Everllence, Doosan Enerbility, ExxonMobil, and Capstone Green Energy.

The motor pipeline compressor design eliminates the need for dry gas seals and lubrication systems, leading to higher reliability and minimized lifecycle costs.

This win marks the company’s first overseas export deal for gas turbines, with Doosan Turbomachinery Services performing maintenance at its Houston-based location.

The Turbomachinery News Network, for the week of October 13, 2025, covers news from EthosEnergy, Mitsubishi Power, Ebara Elliott Energy, and Shell.

With the energy transition accelerating and much of the existing infrastructure reaching the end of its operational life, modernization has become essential for the gas transmission sector to maintain safety, capacity, and environmental performance. One standout example is the recent Cab Infrastructure Project undertaken by Braden, a global leader in gas turbine auxiliary equipment for Gas Turbine Systems. Tasked with revitalizing a Gas Turbine compressor unit at a critical site in the South of England, Braden delivered a solution that not only extended the unit’s operational life but also prepared it for a cleaner energy future.

Thin-wall casings and shell bodies play a critical role in turbomachinery, but their susceptibility to imperfections and buckling raises leakage and failure risks.

The new infrastructure includes a new power line, main 138-Kv breaker, 100-MVA power transformer, and numerous capacitor banks to allow full-speed, full-load testing.

Using a proprietary mix of sand and other particles, the dust-ingestion testing aims to replicate how parts may withstand flight conditions in harsh operating environments.

The September/October 2025 issue covers steam turbine optimization, a pump-centric conversation with the Hydraulic Institute, hybrid grid technology for stabilization, and much more.

In addition to servicing critical oil and gas safety systems, EthosEnergy’s Approved Repair Facility designation will enable faster turnaround times and localized support.

The refurbishment covers engineering studies, manufacturing, on-site dismantling, installation, and long-term maintenance operations for Unit 1 at Cernavoda Nuclear Power Plant.
