Global technology giant Siemens said it has secured a contract from the Oman government for the supply of gas and steam turbines, long-term power generation services and digital solutions at its Duqm integrated power and water project (DIPWP).

The total order volume of the contract is around €200 million ($228.3 million), thus representing Siemens’ largest contract in the sultanate, said the German company.

Spanning a period of 25 years, the service contract for the project also marks one of the company’s longest contracts in the oil and gas sector globally.

Following completion of the project in 2022, DIPWP will have an installed generating capacity of 326 MW in combined-cycle duty and 36,000 cu m of desalinated water for Duqm refinery and petrochemical facilities per day, it stated.

According to Siemens, the plant is set to meet the requirements of the new refinery and petrochemical complex under development at the Duqm Special Economic Zone, thus complementing the country’s economic diversification plan and focus on building up its industrial sector.

The Siemens scope of supply includes a combined-cycle power plant consisting of five SGT-800 industrial gas turbines, five SST-300 industrial steam turbines, and the corresponding control system.

Additionally, the project’s scope includes Siemens’ cybersecurity solutions to improve asset visibility, reliability and security, while decreasing operation and maintenance costs, it added.
