Baker Hughes has reported a record in its Integrated Compressor Line (ICL) technology, stating to have achieved its largest order ever with Dubai Petroleum Establishment (DPE), for and on behalf of Dubai Supply Authority (DUSUP).

The order, booked in the third quarter of 2024, aims to enhance gas swing storage capacity as part of the UAE decarbonization strategy.

The 10 ICL units order, include five for gas storage and five for dual-use injection boosting or for gas export to the existing gas distribution system, will be installed at the Margham Gas storage facility in Dubai, significantly increasing its capacity.

Through the adoption of ICL technology, the project aims to achieve a high-reliability system with reduced emissions, said Baker Hughes emphasizing the importance of this project in providing stability to Dubai’s energy supply by strengthening the system’s ability to switch between natural gas and solar power.

“Our innovative ICL technology is set to be critical to support the gas infrastructure needed to address Dubai’s increasing expansion of renewables into its energy mix,” said Ganesh Ramaswamy, executive VP of Industrial & Energy Technology at Baker Hughes.

“This landmark order underscores the proven track record we have built in the market for our low-carbon solutions, and we are grateful to DPE for their continued commitment and trust as they deliver sustainable energy development,” Ramaswamy added.

DPE has worked with Baker Hughes since 2020 to utilize their ICL units, that proved to achieve zero seal leakages and minimal downtime required for maintenance.
