Emergency power to a Gulf Rig by Aggreko
The challenge for the customer
Technical problems with on-board
generators in this Gulf of Mexico based rig meant emergency
shut-down. Restoring power was essential to maintain
production and all support services.
Aggreko’s solution
Aggreko provided eight 800kW 480V
generators delivered and installed on the rig in less than two
days. Within a further 48 hours power was fully restored and
the situation back to normal.
The benefits to the customer
The speed of Aggreko’s response
minimised lost production and disruption. Although the firm
used Aggreko as an emergency solution to start with, the hire
arrangement was cost efficient for them. As a result the
contract was converted to a long term lease. In the words of
our customer: “This was our first experience with Aggreko. They
performed so well, we won’t hesitate to use them again. We are very
impressed.”
