The loss of experienced personnel, underdeveloped manufacturing locations, and bottlenecked supply chains are posing significant challenges for building gas turbine capacity.

MARA Holdings will construct numerous power generation facilities and data centers near MPLX’s natural gas processing plants across the Delaware Basin.

The new update improves volute modeling with enhanced 3D models and tongue geometries, in addition to expanded leakage path capabilities with a secondary network solver.

By 2030, the Jafurah gas field may produce up to 630,000 barrels of natural gas liquids and condensates, in addition to over 420 million cubic feet of ethane per day.

Anthony Brough and Christean Kapp of Dora Partners & Co. address their new partnership with Turbomachinery International and highlight the centrifugal and reciprocating compressor markets.

Under the pilot project, the partners will develop ammonia cracking systems to build out hydrogen and ammonia supply chains and decarbonization technologies.

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.

Ever-increasing energy demands are placing a harsh spotlight on the supply chain and workforce challenges plaguing the turbomachinery industry.

Under the meOHmare project, partners will develop a comprehensive concept for a CO2-neutral marine engine based on green methanol by year-end 2025.

Prior to the official methanol retrofit, Everllence invested in a dedicated 4S90 testbed engine which validated methanol performance under real operating conditions.

The Blue Point Number One Ammonia Project will produce blue ammonia via autothermal reforming while capturing up to 2.3 million metric tons of CO2 per year.

Roiled by executive orders, agency rulemakings, and other initiatives, the U.S. power generation landscape has shifted dramatically this year from renewables to dispatchable generation. What’s more, vast and ever-rising estimates of electric demand growth created by data centers, artificial intelligence, and advanced manufacturing are adding to the turbulence.

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.
