Siemens has received an order to supply the Duqm Integrated Power and Water project (DIPWP) with gas and steam turbines, long-term power generation services and digital solutions. 

The total order volume of the contract is in the range of 200 million euros, representing Siemens’ largest contract in the Sultanate of Oman. Spanning a period of 25 years, the service contract for the project marks also 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 megawatts in combined-cycle duty and 36,000 cubic meters of desalinated water for Duqm refinery and petrochemical facilities per day.

Eng. Abdullah Al Hashimi, Project Director of DIPWP, said: “Oman aims to build a robust and diversified energy system that can support its long-term, sustainable economic development. We are committed to supporting the country in realizing this vision with projects that set new standards in efficiency and reliability, and can serve as blueprints for other national and regional projects. We are pleased to partner with Siemens on this significant project that will support the industrial zones in the country while preserving natural resources.”

“This is the biggest order ever Siemens achieved in Oman for medium-size gas turbines and the first one in Oman for our SGT-800. Currently, Siemens supports the generation of more than half of Oman’s power supply, enabling the country to optimize gas consumption,” said Jean-Claude Nasr, Senior Executive Vice President, Power Generation at Siemens in the Middle East and North Africa. “Siemens reiterates its firm commitment to continue its support to the growing Omani market with focus on the expansion of localization and Omanisation in the long term, strengthening the country’s economy and creating more jobs for the Omanis,” Nasr added.

“The advanced monitoring and diagnostics services provided to Duqm plant will help maximize performance, lower operating costs and deliver better and more reliable business outcomes for the plant operator,” added Claudia Massei, CEO of Siemens Oman. “We are looking forward to contributing further to Oman’s long-term energy and water strategy, in a sustainable manner.”
