Dynamis Power Solutions will package multiple LM9000 gas turbines as a mobile solution, providing increased versatility for large-scale power consumers in the oil and gas space.

In Q3 2025, Dynamis Power Solutions (Dynamis) ordered 25 aeroderivative gas turbines from Baker Hughes, including the LM2500, LM6000, and LM9000, totaling 1.3 GW of mobile power generation for oil and gas applications in the upstream, refining, and petrochemical industries. Per a signed agreement, Dynamis will package these gas turbines and associated generators as mobile power systems.

“Through our decade-long collaboration with Baker Hughes, we are redefining what’s possible in the mobile power generation market for oil and gas through our delivery of a new solution with power density once thought unattainable,” said Matthew Crawford, CEO of Dynamis. “Our use of LM9000s will offer twice the power of our flagship solution—the DT35—without compromising flexibility, reliability, or efficiency.”

Dynamis will package 10 efficient, dry low emissions LM9000 gas turbines in a new solution called the DT70, delivering 700 MW of gas turbined-derived power generation capacity and representing and oil and gas industry’s highest mobile power density (MW/square foot) to date. The system is designed to support complex operational requirements for industries deploying natural gas power solutions. Dynamis based the DT70 on its successful DT35, which features a 1.5 GW installed base in over 1,200 locations across North America.

“As energy demand continues to expand, our industry requires unprecedented collaboration to meet customers’ needs for reliable and efficient power solutions,” said Lorenzo Simonelli, Chairman & CEO of Baker Hughes. “We are pleased to continue our work with Dynamis to provide customers across a wide range of oil and gas applications with flexible and mobile power technology solutions, where access to power is business critical, supporting sustainable energy development.”

The new application of Baker Hughes’ LM9000 gas turbine provides increased versatility for large-scale power consumers in the oil and gas industry, durability in harsh environments, and the ability to generate large amounts of power. These units also boast a compact footprint and quick rig-up and commissioning times. The DT70 is now available to order, allowing oil and gas customers in the North American energy market to secure reliable, clean power for numerous applications.

Alaska LNG

Earlier this month, Baker Hughes and Glenfarne Alaska LNG formed a strategic alliance to advance the Alaska LNG project. Per the agreement, Baker Hughes will supply main refrigerant compressors for its LNG terminal and power generation equipment for the North Slope gas treatment plant, in addition to making an investment to support Alaska LNG. The alliance was announced in Washington D.C. as part of a ceremony with Secretary of Energy Chris Wright and Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum.

Glenfarne, Alaksa LNG’s lead developer since March 2025, is developing the project in two financially independent phases to accelerate project execution. Phase One features an 807-mile, 42-inch pipeline to transport natural gas from Alaska’s North Slope to fulfill domestic energy demand. For the pipeline, Worley will execute final engineering and cost analysis by December to establish a final investment decision (FID) on Phase One.

Phase Two will add the LNG terminal and associated infrastructure, providing 20 MTPA of LNG export capability with FID expected in late 2026. Glenfarne secured 11 MTPA of preliminary commercial commitments with LNG buyers from Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, and Thailand. These agreements with Tokyo Gas, JERA, and POSCO International represent over 60% of the LNG volume required to reach FID.
