OREANDA-NEWS. December 22, 2008. In Moscow Valery Kanyuka, Acting Director General of Gazkomplektimpex and Jim Finley, Vice President, Sales of Rolls-Royce signed a contract for the supply of gas pumping units (GPU).

In line with the contract, Rolls-Royce will supply within 2010 six GPU with 50 MW in capacity and two GPU with 27 MW in capacity to the Portovaya compressor station (CS) of the Nord Stream gas trunkline.

Rolls-Royce was admitted the winner of the open contest for the GPU supply to the Portovaya CS in July 2008. The company put forward the best bid in terms of the price/quality ratio within the whole process cycle.

The domestic companies couldn’t fully compete in the contest, as they do not produce GPU with 50 MW in capacity.
